Roots Real Estate Group partners with PLACE to gain more support

“I want to invest in real estate with my team while teaching them more about financial freedom and how to plan for retirement.”
SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 2023 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Oliver Kane and Roots Real Estate Group are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.
Oliver Kane is a Realtor® and the owner of Roots Real Estate Group, serving Northern California. In 2022, the team closed $46 million in sales volume, assisting 81 buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals.
While working in public safety for 18 years, Oliver profitably flipped several investment properties. He later retired from public service and initially intended to close a few real estate transactions annually, but instead opted to become a full-time agent. He tried out a few real estate teams but found a pattern of little collaboration, support, or training. As Oliver explored other options, he met Shannon Mabberley, who partnered with him as director of operations. Together, they’ve established a team grounded in shared goals, individual career satisfaction, and genuine client relationships.
Agents are naturally attracted to Roots Real Estate Group because team members build relationships as collaborators, not competitors; and clients are valued as lasting community connections, not walking commissions.
Team agents’ and clients’ wealth building goals are equally important to Oliver, who provides his agents with an investment fund. For every investment a team member contributes, he matches the amount. “I want to invest in real estate with my team while teaching them more about financial freedom and how to plan for retirement,” said Oliver.
Prior to officially partnering, Oliver found that both PLACE employees and PLACE Partners “make themselves available for support.” He’s glad to now provide Roots Real Estate Group with access to a network of top agents and industry leaders. They are excited about newfound leverage in agent training and Agent Launch, which onboards and trains new agents to enter production quickly.
“PLACE and I align in the vision of a true real estate team,” Oliver said. “PLACE will play an integral role in our growth and help us achieve our five-year goals in less time.”

“Oliver puts his people first and is building a culture of compassion, genuine relationships, and shared success,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “He’s in the right place to grow beyond his business goals with the PLACE playbook.”
