One introduction covers the region
Your client may live in San Jose and inherit a home in Napa. One email reaches an agent who works in each place, so you never have to search for a stranger.
For attorneys, accountants and wealth advisors whose clients are buying or selling anywhere in the Bay. Send us the details, and the member who works that county takes it from there.
We are a collective of independent, licensed agents who work together, so that attorneys, accountants and wealth advisors have one call to make when a client needs to buy or sell a home.
You refer once. We match your client with the member who knows that market, that language and that kind of sale.
Pick your practice and see what a referral to us looks like.
“Your client was just named executor of a parent’s home in Napa. They live out of state, the house is full of belongings, and the court timeline is already set.”
Sound familiar? Here is what we do:
“Your client wants to sell a rental this year, and when it closes matters for their return.”
Sound familiar? Here is what we do:
“Your client’s equity just vested. They are ready to buy a home, or to put some of it into an investment property.”

“Your clients agreed to sell the family home. Both of them need to trust the agent, and neither wants surprises.”

Most home sales your clients make are tied to a moment in their life. We named the collective after the six we see most, and built our membership so each one has an agent who has handled it before.
When you recommend an agent, your name goes with them. We built the collective so that every referral you make reflects well on you.
Your client may live in San Jose and inherit a home in Napa. One email reaches an agent who works in each place, so you never have to search for a stranger.
Every referral goes to a member who lives and sells in that market and knows its pricing, neighborhoods and timelines.
Our members include a licensed broker with paralegal and tax preparation experience, a senior transitions specialist with a background in senior care, and a data-driven agent who works with equity-compensated tech professionals.
Referring several clients? Send them all through one collective instead of keeping up with a different agent for each. With your clients' permission, you hear from one point of contact at listing, accepted offer and closing.
Members work in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Spanish and Russian, which helps families make decisions together with confidence.
We meet regularly to plan our businesses and share what works. A referral reflects on the whole collective, and we hold each other to that standard.
