As a local business, we could not be more appreciative of the neighborhood support that we continue to receive year after year. We opened The Brokery’s Arcadia branch office in 2017 with 7 real estate advisors. Today, we are home to over 50 advisors and currently transact more than $340,000,000 in real estate annually. Our growth has been fueled by neighbors like yourself who have referred and championed our business from day one. We are truly humbled by the support and we will continue to keep our promise of being “Relentlessly Local.” In 2023, we expect to see a robust 1st quarter that will be punctuated by the Phoenix Open and Super Bowl which takes place on February 12th. Further into the year, we believe that the market will continue its normalization especially into the summer months where we will experience more seasonality than we have recently. Additionally, good inventory will remain sparse. As this “new normal” evolves, the market will prove to be difficult for those that aren’t armed with up to date trends, data, and sales tactics at a hyperlocal level. At The Brokery, we have all of the marketing firepower and local knowledge to help you beat the market. We are as local as it gets. If you have any questions going in to 2023, we are always around and ready to assist. Thank you again for a phenomenal year and we look forward to seeing you around the neighborhood in 2023.
