Here's how it works:
We Provide Better Service While Saving You Thousands of Dollars
Traditionally, REALTORS®, even though they work with brokerages, have essentially been self-employed, a one-man/woman show. Our REALTORS® (your O'Keefe 3% Buyer Partners) are part of a Team with administrative, marketing and tech support ensuring their time is focused on working for you!
