PLACE

We’re excited to welcome Cheryl and Dan Dennis and My Puget Sound Homes to PLACE. Serving clients across the Western Puget Sound region, their team has built a reputation for disciplined leadership, high accountability, and a rigorous agent development model that consistently helps agents reach six-figure incomes within their first 15 months when they follow the system. After more than 30 years in the industry and over 3,800 closed transactions, Cheryl and Dan recognized they had outgrown what their local market could offer. They partnered with PLACE to upgrade their entire system, expand their impact across the South Sound region, and create a clear path for long-term growth. “PLACE gives our agents a way to grow that is not solely dependent on me. It creates opportunity, stability and a legacy for everyone involved.” shared Cheryl.  #PoweredByPLACE #IFoundMyPLACE

Please join us in welcoming Chris Schmalz and the Chris Schmalz Real Estate Group of Southeast Idaho to PLACE. Chris entered the real estate industry in 2001 with an entrepreneurial spirit and built much of his early business listing REO properties. When the REO market shifted in 2015, he went back to the fundamentals, invested in coaching, and developed a team focused on lead generation and strong client relationships. Since then, his team has consistently closed between 100 and 150 transactions a year. Now, Chris wants to break through that ceiling. “For years we’ve had strong production with a small team, but I knew we needed the right framework and support to truly grow. PLACE gives us the systems and infrastructure to take the business to another level,” Chris shared. We’re excited to welcome Chris and his team to PLACE as they continue expanding opportunities for agents and serving clients throughout Southeast Idaho. #PoweredByPLACE #IFoundMyPLACE

Growth starts with the courage to take the next step. Please join us in welcoming Sarah Barrott and The Barrott Team of Chattanooga, Tennessee and North Georgia to PLACE. Sarah launched her real estate career in 2021 after navigating a difficult season for her family and finding the need to build something new from the ground up. She passed her licensing exam in just a few weeks and immediately went to work building her business through door knocking, community outreach, and creative marketing that helped introduce her to the Chattanooga market. Her determination paid off quickly. Within a few short years she has built a growing team  ranked in the Top 10% in the Chattanooga market, earned the Keller Williams Southeast Region Culture Award, and even appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters. “My goal now is to pour into my agents so they can double their production and reach their potential. PLACE provides the systems and training to help make that happen,” Sarah said. With the support, systems, and technology of PLACE behind her, Sarah is focused on breaking through the ceiling she’s reached and building the next chapter of growth for her team. #PoweredByPLACE #IFoundMyPLACE
