FROM THE PRESIDENT'S P.O.V.
Don’t you love it when you finally introduce two friends to each other — and they hit it off, beautifully?
That’s the story of Rechat and Peerage Realty Partners.
Rechat is the only AI-powered experience-management platform for real estate advisors, a game-changer built to solve a universal, everyday problem: the need to toggle between disparate platforms to manage all the aspects of their business. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty has been working with Dallas-based Rechat almost since its beginning — as a client, sounding board, test case and friend. Today, years of innovation later, Rechat includes a marketing center, people center and deals center, allowing advisors to work within one integrated ecosystem to streamline tasks, automate listing marketing, create collateral and track transactions.
Peerage Realty Partners is a leading real estate services firm and the world’s largest strategic investor in Sotheby’s International Realty affiliates, including ours. It has more than 6,100 advisors across 206 offices in the U.S. and Canada, to whose brokerages it provides strategic input, technology, marketing, operational expertise and much more. Its goal? To enhance the client and advisor experiences through every phase of a transaction and beyond.
You can almost guess the rest of the story. The two friends have joined forces, in a collaboration that just advanced the real estate industry through state-of-the-art tech and unparalleled service. Rechat is now able to offer its AI-driven tools and unique services to all Peerage Realty Partners brokerages, equipping the world’s best advisors with exclusive tech and tools — all in a single tab or app.
Really, it empowers them to do the thing they love to do: turn dreams and goals into realities, for their clients and themselves.
If that’s not a beautiful friendship, I don’t know what is.
