Agent Testimonials

“I have been an agent with NOW Realty (formerly Necklen & Oakland) since 2010. I would never work anywhere else! Joel is a professional at what he does. I like that he is not just a broker he actively sells too- they are in the field knowing what the current issues are. As a broker, he’s great at finding technology to help make our lives easier. They also offer in house trainings and hold monthly meetings with content that matters. If you are looking for ideas, support, and the ability to just go and do your job this is the place for you. We have a great support staff that that makes working for a small agency a perfect fit for me. The turnaround time for a question, paperwork, or listing/marketing a home is spot on!”

"I have been with NOW Realty for almost 3 yrs now. When I was going to make a switch I met with a few other brokerages, and a Realtor who was with a completely different brokerage told me if he ever switched companies  he would most likely go to NOW Realty. I was not really looking for a brokerage that paid out 100% commission but Joel (the Broker) was such a good dude that he gave me the low down and left it up to me if I wanted to join or not. I did not commit right away but I knew after that meeting that NOW Realty was going to be my Real Estate home for the future. From the admin lady (Maggie) to the Broker, to all the agents everyone is just good people...The kind of people you could trust to help your mother buy or sell her home, the kind of people that you would have no problem asking them to watch your puppy & your 3 year old kid as you know they both would be in good hands. My 3 favorite things about NOW Realty are the low fees and commission structure (but with that said you still get a ton of help and support). The Broker Joel is a great guy and very knowledgeable about the industry. The 3rd thing would be the Office Manager (Maggie) who is very helpful and tech savvy and is willing to teach and train whenever she can."

"If you are considering changing brokerages, I would highly recommend that you consider NOW Realty. I was a fairly new agent at the time I came to Necklen & Oakland (now named NOW Realty) in the fall of 2017. I had a few questions in the beginning and found them to be very supportive and welcoming. It seemed I always needed to reach someone in the evenings or weekends and never had a problem getting ahold of someone. I was with another brokerage prior to that and it just didn’t seem like the right fit for me. I wanted to be able to provide my clients great customer service and not be restricted on where or how I conducted my business. I pride myself on being thorough and honest with my clients. I found their 100% commission program to be so much more profitable for me. I’m not paying a chunk of my commission to a team of others for the business I’m bringing in to the brokerage. We are in the business of working with people and I must say that the office and agents I’ve met and work with at NOW Realty are the best."

"This month marks my 6 year anniversary with NOW Realty. I absolutely love having the support I need from this brokerage, with out pushy sales gimmics or micromanagement. The resources, admin, knowledge and experience inside this brokerage are unparalleled to any other broker or team I have been apart of, or recruited to. Having the opportunity to be my own brand and build relationships with my clients the way I see fit, has given me confidence and success in a way I truly believe could not have been done anywhere else.

"I have been a licensed REALTOR since 2002 and joined NOW Realty (formerly Necklen & Oakland) in 2016. I like that NOW Realty’s mobile agent format is a streamlined business model that has low administrative fees, frequent on-site learning opportunities, and a collaborative office environment."

“Working with NOW Realty provides me the ability to work from home, but also have full access to the office and conference room. I am able to easily communicate with my brokers whenever needed. My out-of-pocket costs are very low,  and I get to keep 100% of my commission! The company provides tons of training each month at no extra cost. The team of agents/brokers within the company are very close to one other and we can go to each other for help at any time. Our full-time office manager does a wonderful job keeping the website updated daily, working on our listings etc. This is the only company I've worked for where I feel like I am getting 100% of the tools I need to be successful in the Real Estate industry!”

- Aaron Haider, Realtor

“I had worked with NOW Realty (formerly Necklen & Oakland) before on a transaction so I knew that they were professional. When I met with them to discuss moving to their brokerage, it immediately felt like home and that they take care of their agents and truly want everyone to succeed. Best decision I've made.”

- Joni Goodmanson Stulac, Realtor

“I like working with the happy group of people at NOW Realty. They offer everything necessary for a mobile agent to be successful in today's industry. I do not see any reason to pay a high monthly fees somewhere else. Here I get 100% commission on every sale, with a small admin fee when it closes. No sales brackets. The low monthly fee includes property signs, E&O insurance, web page, 24/7 office access with a conference room, computer access, friendly receptionist, happy people and helpful managers. Various training opportunities throughout the month are also very helpful. I can work from home so I can spend more time with the family, and the 100% commission puts more money into my pocket. A Happy Agent!”

“I am a Realtor with 40 years active selling experience. I have been with 2 national firms and 2 small local firms. You will never go wrong with NOW Realty from the incredible fee structure to the enormous help that all their agents provide each other. Nicest people in the profession. If you are sick of getting your hard work taken for granted and your commission check cut in half, find out what NOW can do for you and not what you can do for them. Ask to talk with any of their agents for the real deal you may be missing out on, You will appreciate the honesty and ethics of this local company with top notch owners who also sell and know how the market works. Best time of my life.”
