Better Business Starts With Better Relationships
Last Thursday, The Bograd Team hosted its first-ever Collaboration Series at Capital Grille in Newtown, PA, welcoming over 100 agents and real estate professionals for a three-hour networking event. The highlight was a live discussion with Joe Bograd and Max Lomas, sharing their story from competitors to collaborators.
Both Joe and Max started as real estate agents in Bucks County, often competing for the same listings and deals. Over time, they realized that setting aside competition and working together creates far greater opportunities for everyone involved.
Today, Max focuses on house flipping and wholesaling, while Joe prepares these homes for the market and sells them at lightning speed. Together, they run SMS and email campaigns targeting agents in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, sharing off-market fixer-upper opportunities.
Why Collaboration Wins
Collaboration in real estate isn’t just about networking—it’s about leveraging each other’s strengths. When agents share resources, knowledge, and opportunities, everyone benefits. Working with other professionals can lead to:
- Access to more listings and off-market deals
- Faster sales and higher-quality client experiences
- Shared marketing efforts that reach a wider audience
- New ideas and strategies you might not have considered on your own
How to Collaborate in Real Estate
- Share off-market deals: Connect with agents who have access to listings that aren’t widely advertised.
- Partner on marketing campaigns: Share resources for email, SMS, and social media campaigns to reach more clients.
- Leverage complementary skills: Work with agents who specialize in areas you don’t—like flipping, leasing, or investment properties.
- Host events and networking sessions: Bring together local agents to share insights, deals, and ideas, just like the Bograd Collaboration Series.
The event proved one thing: in real estate, collaboration beats competition. By building strong professional relationships, agents can share knowledge, speed up deals, and create opportunities that benefit everyone.
