Together we achieve.

BROKERAGE DEFINITION

The term brokerage is often confusing. Brokers are real estate agents who have completed further training and met rigorous licensing conditions. The nature and scope of work that brokers take on is more complex, and because of this, the state requirements are more demanding.

A full-service brokerage agency can offer so much more than your average Realtor. Xplor provides buyer, landlord, and tenant representation and has the knowledge and resources needed to create customized solutions for your needs.
