Sachs said from a real estate perspective, Newtown has always been very traditional. Then you take a high functioning team like mine and give them better tools, better marketing opportunities, and they will be better agents for every client they meet.” “I’ve always told my team to treat every client as though you have the same trusted adviser status as their attorney or their accountant,” he said. Combining that now with Keller Williams customer relation management tools, the branding, and the personalized apps available for every single client will help Sachs and his team move on to a new and greater level of service. “We’ve always been good at the follow-up, the many little details that our clients appreciate,” he said.
The overarching feeling we get with Keller Williams is an openness to be able to try new things in an environment that is kind and supportive.”īut, he said, it’s the complex network of moving parts that ultimate sets the Around Town Team apart, Sachs said. “We try to build consensus, and so much comes from simply listening to their ideas and their thoughts. “All of our team members are intelligent, passionate, and opinionated,” Sachs says. Since this vernacular pulses through Keller Williams’ culture, Sachs’ team is excited to join forces. Though they come from various backgrounds, he said three words sum up the Around Town Real Estate Team across the board: bold, transparent, and innovative. “It’s unlike anything I had ever experienced before,” Sachs said. With a background in sales, marketing, licensing, and branding, he has long realized the real estate industry offers a true chance to help people, and has limitless opportunities for growth. Not a day goes by that I’m not getting texts, phone calls, and e-mails congratulating us for making the move.” “And they matched that advanced technology with great customer service. “They really took a tech-focused approach to go toe-to-toe with the Zillows of the world,” Sachs said, referring to the American online real estate database company. To achieve that, we need to stay ahead of the curve, and Keller Williams is looking out on the horizon of what’s coming toward us next and preparing for it.”įrom a broader perspective, Sachs said he also saw the move to the KW brand as an opportunity to modernize the Connecticut real estate market. “Our goal with every client is to gain the same level of trust they extend to their attorneys, accountants, and financial advisers. “The business is changing faster than ever, and joining forces with Keller Williams will help us stay on top of it,” Sachs said. “At Keller Williams we believe in succeeding through people, and having these nine incredible agents join our team is a huge win for us, and the opportunity to bring the Keller Williams culture and focus on the consumer experience to Newtown is also very exciting.” “We’re excited to welcome the Around Town Real Estate Team to the Keller Williams family,” said Dan Raposo, CEO/Team Leader of Keller Williams Realty in Ridgefield. And it was humbling that 100 percent of the team came along.” So I sat down with my team, explained why I thought the move was good for everybody, laid out the financial benefits, projected our planned growth opportunities, and they saw the opportunity as well. “So about three months ago I decided this would probably be the direction we’re going in.
There’s a lot of sharing of ideas to help make everyone more successful,” Sachs said. “Also culturally, it’s a very inclusive place to work. “But it was time for a change, and after what ended up being a two-year recruiting process and learning more and more about what they had to offer, it was really their technology suite that blew me away. “Coldwell Banker has been fantastic for me - I got my start with them over 15 years ago,” Sachs told The Newtown Bee. The technology was one of the key reasons why Sachs made the switch after first being approached by Keller Williams. KW began prioritizing technology in 2015, with the goal of creating a platform that agents, buyers, and sellers prefer. Keller Williams is recognized for its strength as a technology-driven firm, and was named a 2019 Most Innovative Company in the urban development/real estate sector by Fast Company for building an AI-powered virtual assistant that gives its agents hyperlocal information about neighborhoods and listing data that can be shared with buyers and sellers. That same year, Newsweek named Keller Williams the top real estate agency for customer service. In 2019, according to a release, the Around Town Real Estate Team sold $87 million in properties - representing more than 200 homes - and was the top team for Coldwell Banker in the Westchester / Fairfield County region. Andy Sachs, one of the country’s top-producing real estate professionals, has left Coldwell Banker to bring the Around Town Real Estate Team to Keller Williams (KW).
