Drake Business Services
Serving Smith County, TX
It is impossible to be an expert at all different types of investments, much less have an effective marketing campaign, be “in the know,” and maintain a database of contacts across all asset classes. Drake takes a different approach when it comes to brokering business and real estate opportunities. At Drake, we break each type of investment into vertical markets, and carefully select a team member to be an expert in each market. Each agent is then able to spend 100% of their time every day on the daily activities in their area of expertise. This allows our agents to have a distinct advantage over our competitors who are distracted from their core business. As a result, our agents have a better understanding of market demand, marketing time, pricing, availability, marketing strategies, and client needs. Our structure also fosters an environment of sharing and creativity that gives the client the best experience possible.
