Welcome to The Broker Consortium
A collaborative network of like-minded, professional and visionary Real Estate Brokers on a focused mission to scale agent productivity, increase brokerage profits, streamline expenses and maximize efficiency.
"Consortium" — a group of individuals or organizations collaborating to accomplish what one alone cannot.
Our Why
Many real estate agents have lost their way, causing a decline in industry professionalism. Brokers must lead the charge to elevate standards and facilitate greater communication.
Membership
Membership is free and open to all licensed Real Estate Brokers operating as Managing or Qualifying Brokers (not Broker Associates).
Join the Consortium
Meetings
We meet on the first Friday in February, April, June, August, October, and December from 12 PM to 2 PM at a central restaurant. Members pay for their own meals.

Focus Groups
Problem-solving groups of 4–6 members help each other tackle specific challenges — like a mini board of directors.
