Ross Seligman partners with PLACE for growth, resources
“I spent a decade trying to automate my business, really serve people, and have a life outside of work — PLACE represents a way for me to achieve those goals without having to recreate the wheel.”
PORTLAND, Ore., August 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 Ross Seligman and Own It Portland, brokered by Windermere Realty Trust, are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.
Ross Seligman is the owner and team leader of Own It Portland, an elite team serving the Portland Metropolitan Area. Seligman has helped more than 600 people buy and sell real estate throughout his career and has been featured in several publications for his outstanding achievements, including Real Producers magazine.
Seligman moved to Portland as a full-time musician in 1999 and earned his real estate license in 2005. Although it was a challenging time to be an agent, he ultimately flourished and built a team over time. “We are a relationship-based team and focus on the client experience,” he said. “We want to be a real force for helping people change their lives, get to where they want to be, increase their wealth, and improve their quality of life. We also want to make a lot of friends along the way.”
Seligman aims to elevate the team’s renowned concierge service while scaling to help more people achieve their real estate goals. “I want to be top in the field, building a business and helping people find their perfect home, but I also want to be part of a team that is helping create incredible lives for each other,” he explained.
His PLACE partnership gives Seligman the confidence to grow his team in a way that aligns with his viewpoint of life priorities. “Realtors® generally make themselves available to clients 24/7, never taking a real vacation, or even spending time with family without interruption,” he explained. “I want to solve this issue internally for my team, and PLACE provides a playbook that gives me confidence to grow my team. It will allow me to take off the hats I don’t want to wear and guide me to scale in a way where we are not only taking care of buyers and sellers at a really high level, but also taking care of each other.”
“I love that Ross keeps growing his business with a priority for building stronger relationships and assisting others in achieving their dreams,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “His dedication to quality and service aligns perfectly with PLACE values, and his enthusiasm for adopting technology and systems will definitely help him realize his vision and go even further.”
“Ross deeply cares about his clients and team, and his emphasis on developing and sustaining relationships is truly inspiring,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “I’m excited that he’s joining forces with PLACE and that he values the power of systems, technology, and teamwork in building a successful business.”
