Announcing a new partnership: Kimberlee Meserve and The Street Property Team are powered by PLACE.

“I love growing things, and that includes helping new agents achieve success. Partnering with PLACE cures all the pain points of my business, including recruiting, retention, and creating excitement and camaraderie on my team.”

Andrea Guest expects her partnership to relieve three pain points, including retention and recruiting.

PORTLAND, Ore., September 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top real estate teams at any brokerage, announced today that Andrea Guest and The Guest Group are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Elite Realtor®Andrea Guest is the owner and operator of The Guest Group, serving the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area. Guest closed $30 million in sales volume during 2022, helping 56 people achieve their real estate goals. She has helped more than 430 clients buy and sell real estate since 2011.

Guest held a career in radio advertising sales before earning her real estate license in 2011. “I quickly realized that real estate is a business,” she said. “I also realized how much I loved helping people find the perfect home.” She hit the ground running, quickly building a business and focusing on buyers. “With my sales background, I already knew how to hustle,” she explained. “I did a lot of open houses and reached out to other agents who needed extra help, and my business grew.”

Guest’s passion for the real estate industry, her business, and positively impacting everyone in her world led her to PLACE. “I love growing things, and that includes helping new agents achieve success,” she explained. “Partnering with PLACE cures all the pain points of my business, including recruiting, retention, and creating excitement and camaraderie on my team.”

Talent turnover has challenged Guest in the past, and she believes PLACE will help her continue growing a successful, consistent team of agents who she hopes will someday build teams within her team. “We have all been swimming uphill with no idea what to do next,” said Guest. “I am excited about the training, onboarding, and accountability pieces of PLACE. I coach my team, but agents need training, and PLACE will give them all they need to potentially grow big businesses.”

With this partnership, Guest is moving toward long-term goals of developing her team, participating in more coaching, and reducing her production to concentrate on the business. “I enjoy coaching the team members, helping them grow, and then seeing the results of our work,” she explained. “I honestly believe that what you put your time and energy into becomes reality. I want to continue adding value for my agents and, ultimately, my clients.”

“Andrea has built a wonderful team by coaching others to success and applying expertise from her background,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “Partnering with PLACE will help her move her business to the next level as she creates a bigger world for her team with powerful training and accountability systems.”

“Andrea is committed to her agents, clients, and the steps to achieving next-level business success,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “PLACE will provide a strong framework for her and her team to leverage for their personal and professional goals.”
