Our Team
Nick Najjar, Franchise Owner
It is our mission to inform and inspire Realtors in the St Louis metro and surrounding areas. Our publication and website serve both a social side and a business side. They highlight top producing agents and gives you an inside look at their life as well as their business.
The publications are provided free of charge to all the top producers. The cost of the publication is covered by our advertising partners that you see in each issue and on our website. We do our best to screen our advertisers to ensure that they can provide the types of services that you may need or want as a Realtor and serve you and your clients with high professional standards. Please consider them when you or your clients have a need for one of their services.
