Summa Real Estate Group

Summa Real Estate Group is an agent-owned company headquartered locally in Portland, OR and founded on the belief that the sales people are the heart and soul of any real estate company. Taking that agent-first ideal a step further, Summa has recently seen rapid expansion through the industry. We know there are plenty of accomplished, skilled Realtors out there who want to get into business for themselves, but don't have the money or business acumen to take care of all the marketing, business development and resources to establish their own "brand." To that point, Summa offers our endless resources and positive image and brand equity to franchisees, giving them freedom, but also a leg up due to Summa's great name recognition and word-of-mouth throughout the West Coast. Additionally, we embrace any new technology that can help stimulate business. For people who would rather focus on selling homes than learning to build websites, we have a staff of web design experts who make sure our brand is truly nationwide Further, our social media gurus go to the ends of the earth to ensure that our brokers and franchisees' good reputations are as well-known online as they are in the brick-and-mortar business world. Best of all, we do all of this as flexibly as possible. Every step of the way, Summa view every new colleague on a case-by-case basis, enabling people---and often entire offices---our franchising opportunities--no matter what!
