Where the team fits in
The Agency Marketplace tribe builds and maintains a set of products that allow potential sellers to connect with the right agent, and for agents to find and cultivate the seller leads which are crucial to the success of their business. The tribe is unique in that it has a foot in both camps – we build products for both agents and the people who require their services.
