The Crux of The Brinkoetter Culture
Posted by on
Working with a real estate agent who is invested in the community adds up to big advantages for clients.

If your four walls could talk…what New Year Resolutions would they make? Would it be more organization, and less clutter? More energy saving, and less bill paying? Here are some of our favorite home-goals for the new decade.

At Brinkoetter Realtors, we not only have access to a full-time marketing team, the latest technology and best website, we have access to a wealth of experience through the great teamwork of everyone in the office. That has been very helpful for our buyers and sellers, whether that is talking about our listings in weekly meetings, touring our listings together as a group, or just in the friendly conversations we have in passing at the office.

Pooling our marketing dollars to increase the impact for our sellers, and the flexibility of all of our schedules, will…
