Deanna and Eric Dopslaf partner with PLACE to empower growth
“With PLACE, the value we provide our agents skyrockets.”
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., February 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 Deanna & Eric Dopslaf and The Southwest Life Real Estate Group with eXp Realty are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.
Deanna & Eric are the owners and operators of The Southwest Life Real Estate Group, servicing Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, and the surrounding communities. They closed 53 units last year, totaling $17.6 million, and have served over 700 clients over the course of their careers. Their journey reflects resilience, innovation, and dedication to excellence.
Deanna’s real estate journey began in 2007 amidst a tumultuous market, when distressed properties, short sales, and foreclosures were all too common. Her adaptability and foresight set her on a path of success. She learned the nuances of selling distressed properties to grow her business. Eric, after a commendable 31-year tenure in the Air Force, transitioned into real estate. Together, they’ve since built a team where integrity, professionalism, and growth are the focus.
The Southwest Life Real Estate Group distinguishes itself through a culture emphasizing continuous learning. Accountability and a client-first approach are also key. Deanna articulated their philosophy, “With PLACE, the value we provide our agents skyrockets.”
Deanna and Eric believe that their agents will gain significant growth and learning opportunities through the partnership with PLACE. They anticipate that access to PLACE’s extensive network, advanced training, and accountability systems will enable their agents to enhance their service capabilities and business acumen. This partnership will provide a platform for agents to broaden their horizons beyond local market insight. It will enable them to adopt successful practices from a national perspective.
The motivation behind aligning with PLACE stems from a shared vision for the future of real estate — a future where agents are empowered with the best tools and systems to excel. On the partnership’s strategic importance, Deanna said, “It’s about survivability. If you want to still be relevant as the industry changes, you better be aligned with the right people. Our bet is on the people at PLACE.”
Their goal, as Deanna put it, is to “fund an exceptional life, build generational wealth, and leave a legacy,” a vision that PLACE is uniquely positioned to support.
Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE, warmly welcomed the Dopslafs by saying, “We’re excited to have Deanna and Eric onboard! Their vision for growth and value is exactly what PLACE is all about.”
Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE, echoed, “Deanna and Eric’s partnership with PLACE signifies a powerful alignment of goals and values. We’re here to support them in their quest to redefine real estate excellence.”
