New PLACE Partners Susan and David Maryanski are passionate professionals who believe that PLACE is going to help them build and support an exemplary team. Together with PLACE, Susan, David, and Opulent Living will have the systems to help more clients and agents build wealth through real estate.

HOBOKEN, N.J.; October 2022 — PLACE, the industry’s only all-inclusive platform delivering intuitive technology and business services to top real estate professionals, announced today that Opulent Living, formerly known as the Maryanski Group, is now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production for the top 20% of real estate teams, and currently supports over 150 real estate businesses across the United States and Canada.

An energetic and accomplished couple, Susan and David Maryanski have built a thriving real estate business founded on the highest standards of professionalism, service, and old-fashioned hard work for their clients. Over the course of their real estate careers, they have assisted more than 1,700 families achieve the dream of homeownership. During 2021, they closed $50 million in sales volume and helped 100 families buy or sell their homes.

“Once I saw that I couldn’t do it all by myself anymore without compromising, we knew we needed to build a team – it was a must.”

Brimming with a deep sense of humble gratitude, this duo is proud of what they have built so far and are committed to continued growth ahead. Susan and David are equally passionate about delivering the highest-quality experience to every client regardless of price point while scaling their team with more like-minded real estate professionals who share the same goals. Partnering with PLACE provides the resources needed to grow at home and in new markets, while their new name, Opulent Living, clearly illustrates the higher level of service their brand has become known for in the Northern New Jersey market.

Susan became a real estate professional in 2007 but previously worked in New York City for a high-end design firm. This experience sparked a deeper interest in real estate for Susan. Knowing she wanted to provide more financial opportunity to her family, she decided it was time for a change and gradually transitioned into real estate sales. “I did an amazing job for the design firm 40 hours a week in the city while I got my license. Then I did both, working about 30 to 40 hours doing real estate for about a year and a half. That was not an easy task. But I embraced it.” Susan’s natural ability to peel back the layers and get to know others leads her clients to consider her to be a warm, caring, and sincere guide throughout the real estate transaction, and a reliable and supportive friend well after closing.

“We are excited our partnership with PLACE will enable us to invest our time and energy into our team members.”

David was in the marketing industry for over 20 years and later began working with Susan full-time as her business grew. In addition to being a licensed Realtor®, David began creating all of Opulent Living’s brand content and marketing materials. From singular graphics to robust property websites and brochures, Susan says David’s consistent and creative marketing has contributed immensely to their business growth over the years, continuing to draw attention and boosting online brand recognition today. David got his license to help out full time. “Susan was having so much fun that I wanted to join her,” David says. Between his talent and expertise in marketing and Susan’s experience with the design firm, they offer an incredible visual presentation of their properties. This has been a significant factor in attracting new clients.

Soon after teaming up, Susan and David had more business than they could manage alone while keeping their top-tier customer service standards intact. “We didn’t want anything to damage the reputation that we built in the industry as providing truly excellent service,” said Susan. “Once I saw that I couldn’t do it all by myself anymore without compromising, we knew we needed to build a team – it was a must.” As they take this next step and expand as Opulent Living with PLACE, they’re committed to delivering and building on the superior level of customer service that makes them a standout team in their market.

Over 70 percent of the homes sold by Opulent Living in the past year were from repeat clients and referrals. This remarkable accomplishment speaks to the relationships they cultivate and evidence of the opulent experience they provide.“We are where we are because our clients believed in us once and continue to over and over,” said Susan. As their business has grown, so has the region in which they work. What was once exclusively an urban business has expanded to the suburbs. And now, catapulted by their partnership with PLACE, they eagerly look towards further expansion.

PLACE came onto their radar as they continue to find ways to best serve their growing client base while they grow. “PLACE offers a playbook on how to build out the business and expand somewhere else,” explained David. “We believe PLACE will also help us be able to leverage that business to have some time to focus on our agents getting up and running, and ensuring they are successful.”

Susan and David feel that PLACE provides more growth and opportunity for the members of their team than they could deliver on their own, including production-based health insurance plans, the ability to build a team within their team, and limitless financial opportunities.

“To be a top producing team in this market, you have to hustle,” said Susan. “We believe PLACE offers the tools and systems to help us recruit, and offers a roadmap for success. We are excited our partnership with PLACE will enable us to invest our time and energy into our team members. We’re looking forward to helping others learn, grow, accumulate wealth, and to reach the goals they have set for themselves.”

“I love that Susan and David already have a vision for their first expansion team,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “Their passion for helping their clients, growing their team, and leveraging their energy to build a strong business that allows everybody to reach big goals is admirable.”

“I welcome Susan and David to PLACE and am excited about their next steps,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “The priority they place on relationships and being grateful in all that they do is part of the PLACE culture. I can’t wait to watch them grow their team and expand their sphere of influence.”
