Live + Invest Group Joins PLACE to Scale Growth and Strengthen Systems
“This partnership empowers us to reach agents who need what we and PLACE have to offer—opportunities for growth, professional success, and building wealth through real estate.”
ORLANDO, FL., May 2025 — PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Tony and Sherri Tate and their team, Live + Invest Group brokered by LPT Realty, are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.
Tony and Sherri Tate, owners and operators of Live + Invest Group, lead a diverse and fast-growing team serving areas across multiple states including Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With extensive experience spanning residential, commercial, land development, equestrian, and resort-style properties, their team is uniquely positioned to serve a wide range of clients—from first-time homebuyers to high-level investors.
Tony began his real estate journey in 2001 as a private investor, later expanding into large-scale land development, where he successfully led $360 million in projects in South Carolina in 2022. His expertise in multiple sectors of real estate gives his team a competitive edge in the evolving marketplace. “I’ve always believed in hiring good people first,” Tony said. “I can teach people skills, but I can’t always teach them to be good. That’s what makes our team special—our culture and values come first.”
Live + Invest Group fosters a culture of #FamilyFirst, #CultureOverCash, and #PeopleOverProfit, encouraging their agents to be fully present in both their work and personal lives. “When you’re with family—be with family. When you’re working—work your face off,” Tony shared. “That balance is key to building a sustainable business and a life worth living.”
With PLACE’s platform, training, and operational support, Live + Invest Group is positioned to expand its influence and create more opportunities for agents across all the areas they serve. “We’re most excited about growth in every phase,” said Tony. “This partnership empowers us to pour more into our family, our communities, and the ministries we serve.”
“Tony and Sherri are true innovators in the real estate industry,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “Their leadership, experience, and values-driven approach make them a perfect fit for PLACE, and we’re thrilled to support them as they expand their business and help more agents achieve success.”
“Live + Invest Group has a bold vision for growth, and PLACE provides the structure to turn that vision into reality,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “Tony and Sherri’s commitment to agent development, innovation, and client service aligns perfectly with PLACE’s mission, and we’re honored to partner with them.”
Through this partnership, Live + Invest Group is set to scale strategically, refine operations, and create lasting success for its agents and clients. “PLACE is the foundation we need to reach more agents who need what we have to offer,” Tony said. “We’re just getting started.”
