Pennsylvania-Based Springer Realty Group Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary

EXTON, Pa. -- Dave Springer, of Springer Realty Group, has always had a passion and drive for real estate. In 2002, while working in the world of corporate finance, he decided to start investing in real estate part-time. Soon after, he left his corporate job to become a full-time real estate agent. In 2009, Springer decided to take a major leap of faith by opening his own real estate brokerage.

According to conventional wisdom, the timing could not have been worse. You may remember that the real estate market had recently fallen off a cliff in the wake of the 2007-2008 subprime mortgage crisis the same crisis that brought down well-established Wall Street financial firms. While many people in the real estate business were scrambling to find a new career, Springer decided that this was the perfect time to blaze a new trail.

"When I mentioned to my wife back in 2009 that I wanted to start my own independent real estate brokerage, she was beyond supportive but also a little concerned about the timing," Springer says. "Nonetheless, she was there every step of the way, and that's when Springer Realty Group (SRG) was born."

From the outset, Springer sought to build a different type of real estate company, one that would stand out from the others and be well-positioned to thrive in the 21st Century. SRG would be a company that provides agents with maximum flexibility, free in-house marketing and minimal overhead, allowing them to be creative and achieve greater heights than they could while under the umbrella of a top-heavy franchise brand.

"As an independent broker, I wanted to make my company stand out from the rest," Springer continues. "That is when I came up with the 100% commission plan that my company currently offers. I truly feel that real estate agents should be able to run their business as they see fit; and giving them 100% of their hard-earned commissions allows them to do just that."

10 Years and Going Strong

After 10 years in business, Springer's vision of building a different and better real estate company has been realized. SRG weathered (and even thrived in) the early years, and for the past several years, they have experienced very strong growth. SRG now has five locations, over 200 experienced real estate professionals, and they serve clients and communities across three states; Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.

It is worth noting that within the past few years alone, SRG has jumped a staggering 160% with regards to agent count, plus a substantial 300% in completed transactions. This helped them earn a highly respectable #6 in the RealTrends 500 rankings of the largest independent brokerages (for closed transactions sides) in Pennsylvania for 2018.

The model of giving agents freedom, flexibility, and support to provide maximum value to real estate buyers and sellers appears to be a winning formula, and Springer Realty Group is optimally positioned to continue growing exponentially well into the future.

"We are pleased to be celebrating 10 outstanding years of business and growth, and this has all been made possible with the unwavering dedication of our incredible agents and expert support team. I am grateful for each and every person who has helped build this company, and I look forward to continued success for many years to come."

A Shift in Philly Suburbs Real Estate: Independent Brokerages on the Rise Over Franchises

EXTON, Pa. -- Springer Realty Group is an up-and-coming independent brokerage that serves clients throughout Pennsylvania. This year alone, they have grown by nearly 50-percent, and they recently opened their fourth office in Blue Bell. Top Chester County PA Realtor Don Dowd is one of the agents that has joined SRG during the past year.

Dowd had been a RE/MAX agent for several years, and had consistently ranked in the top 5 out of over 3,400 agents in the Pennsylvania and Delaware regions. When he left RE/MAX at the end of 2016, he was third in sales overall. With this type of success, many in the business wondered why he would leave an established franchise brand for an independent.

"When I made the move to SRG, I was skeptical," Dowd says. "But I interviewed many other independent agents before I made the switch, and I found that it didn't have any impact at all on their business. At the end of the day, no matter what brokerage you're with, your listings still go from the MLS to the Internet Data Exchange (IDX), meaning they will end up on all the major real estate websites, like Realtor.com, Trulia and Zillow, and hundreds of other sites where the buyers are searching."

Dowd has consistently remained one of the top selling agents in the region because he employs "out of the box" marketing methods both online and offline. And he says the move from franchise to independent has freed up more money to invest in marketing, allowing him to better serve his clients.

"My move over to SRG has reduced my operating costs by two-thirds, saving me more than $10,000 per year," Dowd continues. "This gives me more money to invest in marketing, which gives my clients greater exposure and helps ensure a more timely and successful transaction. Our industry is shifting increasingly from brick and mortar to online, and these days, buyers aren't coming to your office unless it's for a settlement. Back in the 70s and 80s, it might have made sense to have a large, expensive office on the corner of Main St and 1st Ave, but today, this is wasted overhead that should be redirected into your marketing budget."

Dowd also likes the flexibility of the independent brokerage business model, which he says can work for all types of agents.

"SRG's business model is perfect for the established agent who wants to pay only $295 per month and keep 100-percent of the commission earned. But it's also perfect for the agent who is just starting out and can choose the option to pay no monthly fees, $595 per transaction, and keep 100-percent of the commission. Every 6 months, the agent has the option to switch plans based on their current business needs. This plan is better than opening your own brokerage, and it works well because of a large volume of agents."

The rapid growth of Springer Realty Group is not an aberration. In late 2015, Inman reported a major shift from franchises toward independent brokerages within the real estate industry. In fact, the majority of real estate agents in the U.S. (roughly 55-percent) are now with independent brokerages. Two of the major reasons cited in the report were local control of branding, and technology that allows independents to develop unique and profitable business models that can quickly adapt to local market conditions.

"Our agents have the freedom to grow their businesses the way they want, and they are given the flexibility to adapt in real time to conditions on the ground," says Dave Springer, owner of Springer Realty Group. "Our fees are also far lower than the national brands, which keeps our agents' operating costs reasonable, allowing them to put more of their hard-earned dollars into marketing."

With technology continually evolving and our society becoming increasingly digital, the trend toward independent brokerages looks like it is here to stay. And with more real estate agents embracing this model, companies like SRG are likely to experience exponential growth for the foreseeable future.
