Authentic Real Estate Services partners with PLACE for leverage, benefits, and opportunities

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

“Partnering with PLACE is the right fit for my team. Every aspect of the team will be held to a higher standard. And with that accountability comes leverage and the potential for tremendous benefits and opportunities.”

Owner and operator Michael Carter plans to create new income streams to future-proof his business with PLACE.

OKLAHOMA CITY, December 2023 — PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Michael Carter and Authentic Real Estate Services of Real Broker are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.

Michael Carter is the owner and team leader of Authentic Real Estate Services, serving the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Carter has helped more than 750 families buy and sell real estate, and in 2022, he closed $35 million in sales volume through 150 transactions.

Carter earned his real estate license in 2012 after outgrowing corporate America. With experience in management, an entrepreneurial drive, and a long-time interest in real estate, he joined the industry. In 2016, Carter began seeing the “bigger picture of what real estate could be.” That new vision drove him to create a top-producing team. Over the past year, Carter has taken significant steps to ensure his business continues thriving in an ever-changing environment. He hired a coach, joined Real Broker, and is now partnering with PLACE.

Carter is excited about connecting to and learning with other successful teams. “Partnering with PLACE is the right fit for my team,” Carter said. “Every aspect of the team will be held to a higher standard. And with that accountability comes leverage and the potential for tremendous benefits and opportunities.”

Recruiting at a higher level and retaining agents is another advantage Carter sees in PLACE. “Part of my job is to wake up every morning and say, ‘Okay, how can I provide my agents enough value that they don’t even imagine going somewhere else or going out on their own?’” said Carter. “PLACE brings that value, and having a team of people running alongside you, instead of just telling you how to run the team, is huge for me.”

Anticipating a more stable business with the support of his PLACE partnership, Carter is excited about having the time to focus on creating new income streams and seize opportunities to work with seasoned investors. “Over the next couple of years, I want our businesses to be in a super sustainable position while growing,” he said.

“Michael is a savvy businessman who has proven he is not afraid to shake things up to ensure his business is growing and thriving,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “PLACE systems and tools will allow him and his team to strengthen their businesses as they serve more clients.”

“I love that Michael is all-in and wants himself and his team to work at the highest level,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “PLACE will provide the tools he needs to confidently build his company in a changing market so he can explore more opportunities in and outside of business.”
