Aaron Bates Real Estate is poised for a new chapter of growth and success with PLACE, ready to provide their agents, clients, and community with even more value.

LONG ISLAND, N.Y., June 2024 – PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Aaron and Rebecca Bates of Aaron Bates Real Estate are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Aaron entered the real estate industry over 12 years ago after exploring various careers, from construction to bartending. Rebecca, previously an elementary school teacher, shifted to real estate seven years ago, seeking autonomy and a new challenge. “I didn’t want to have a boss,” Rebecca said, highlighting the independence real estate offered. Aaron and Rebecca partnered up in 2017.

Together, they built Aaron Bates Real Estate on the foundation of trust, hard work, and innovation. Early adoption of video marketing and a commitment to personal connections set them apart. “We were doing incredibly boring videos that people actually watched,” Rebecca recalls, emphasizing their unique approach to engagement. This strategy, along with their dedication, led to tripling their business volume in just one year.

Their decision to partner with PLACE stems from a desire to further enhance their business efficiency and profitability. “We realized that we needed a little bit more direction if we’re looking to grow and scale,” Aaron mentioned. The comprehensive support from PLACE, ranging from technology integration to operational streamlining, appealed to them as a way to address these needs. “With PLACE, we can shortcut the trial and error of growing our business. They already know what’s working. It’s all been tested and proven,” Rebecca said.

Their decision to partner with PLACE was deeply influenced by their ambition to expand their business’s reach and capabilities. Their journey into real estate, marked by passion and resilience, underscored a clear need for a strategic partner capable of enhancing their operational efficiency and supporting their growth aspirations. “We were at a point where we knew we had nearly maxed out what the two of us can do alone. We know we can do more, achieve more, but to do that, we needed the right support, the right tools, and the right people,” Aaron stated. Aaron and Rebecca have learned that the vast majority of real estate teams are either not profitable, or not as profitable as they can be. They have selected PLACE as their partner in growth because of PLACE’s emphasis on scaling while optimizing profitability. The comprehensive solutions offered by PLACE, from advanced technology platforms to business coaching, promised to remove the barriers that previously placed a ceiling on their potential.

As Aaron and Rebecca look to add more agents to their team and extend their geographic reach to new locations, they’re excited to have PLACE’s systems, like Recruiter, Launch, and daily Power Ups to help them do it efficiently. Looking to the future, they’re excited to gain some balance since every aspect of running their business will not be on their shoulders alone.

“We’re glad to have Aaron and Rebecca on board,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “Their drive and commitment to excellence are exactly what PLACE stands for.”

“Aaron and Rebecca’s decision to join PLACE reflects their dedication to not just sustaining but significantly growing their business,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “We’re excited to be a part of their journey and help them achieve their ambitious goals.”
