Birth of a Brokerage: Thompson’s Realty

The newest real estate brokerage in the Phoenix area, Thompson’s Realty, is officially open for business!

Our business model is simple: provide superior customer service in everything we do. That may sound hokey, but it is what Francy and I believe in. Our clients will experience unparalleled support and guidance throughout their real estate transaction. And beyond.

Leveraging the power of technology, combined with the cost savings associated with running a boutique brokerage unencumbered with the overhead of a large franchise, we will enable our clients to actually enjoy buying or selling real estate. 

A virtual office, near-paperless transactions (as close as the state currently allows), and streamlined efficiency will allow us to pass savings directly to our clients. Uncompromised service is the rule, there are no exceptions. 

If you are an experienced, tech savvy real estate agent interested in working for a progressive independent brokerage, please contact us. We are looking for a few amazing agents willing to work hard to make the future of real estate happen today.

  • Congratulations on the opening of your new brokerage. Much success to you and Francy!
  • Congratulations Jay - here's wishing you the best success!
  • Thanks Matt and Morgan! Breaking away from the Century 21 "mother ship" is a little scary, but the new-found freedom and flexibility to truly run our business how we think it should be run is well worth the stress.

    Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
  • Max
    Congratulations Jay! Best wishes and good luck!

    P.S. have you received my email from this morning?
  • Congratulations Jay. Wishing you and Francy continued success in your new endeavor. Your new company logo looks terrific, imho.
  • Jay-
    I know it's been a long time in the making -- congrats!! I like the logo and tagline.
  • My Congratulations to the "Big Step"!!! Would you mind if I picked your brain down the road...? Best of luck and success in your new endeavor!
  • Jay and Francy, congratulations. If I lived in Phoenix, I'd want to hook up with you.
  • Congratulations Jay. This is going to be fun to follow. Please remember me when you guys franchise Thompson's Realty.
  • Bravo! Congratulations! I know you'll knock 'em dead!
  • Congrats, Jay and Francy!
  • Mark, Drew, Christoph, Howard, David, Greg, Michael - thank you all so much for your kind words. Francy and I truly appreciate the support all our friends have shown us. It really means a lot to both of us.

    Christoph, not sure how much brain there is to pick, but you're certainly more than welcome to it!

    Franchise Thompson's Realty.... hmmmmm...... We'd probably need to re-brand with a catchy name. Maybe something with a "z" in it... and Beta! ;)
  • What took you so long? :) - Congrats and good luck with your new venture Jay
  • All the best to you Jay and Francy! I love it - technology and personal touch - what else could a consumer ask for :)

    Rudy
  • Wow Jay! Congrats to you and Francy! I'd come work for ya if you weren't clear across the country (and if I wasn't so happy with my Keller Williams office!)

    Big step but I'm sure you'll do GREAT!
  • Congrats Jay and Francy...

    I know you two will do great things.
  • I love the logo and I know you two will be successful. Congrats!
  • I'm really excited and hopeful for your new venture. Being "boutique" should allow you a great deal of latitude and fill a missing niche.


    All the best!
  • Congratulations Jay and Francy! Best wishes for continued success.
  • Great news and congratulations!
    The logo is lovely as well.
    Much success!
  • Congratulations!

    This is going to be more fun to watch than the Suns with Shaq.

    "Yeah, I remember the day back in '08 when Jay announced the creation of Thompson's Realty and now look at it!"
  • Jay, if you bring half the energy and enthusiasm you have brought to the "PhoenixRealEstateGuy" brand to your new Brokerage, success will surely follow.

    By the way, when you get a chance, you will want to rejig the title line (top left above your banner) in your P2 website which makes reference to "Century 21 Aware Realty".
  • Morgan, Rudy, Ron, Loren, Robert, Chris, Norm, Teri, John, Carl - wow, thats a lot more well wishers. Thanks so much guys and gal!

    Carl - I've tried 4 times to change that line. It won't "stick"... I'm hoping it's related to the maintenance going on and I can change it tomorrow. Thanks for pointing it out! It's amazing how many places I've scattered my old brokerage across the internet. I fear I'll never find them all....
  • Jay;

    First off, congrats on the big move. Best wishes to you and Francy with this. You will do GREAT! The fact that you have scattered your old brokerage all over the net is a testament to how talented and effective you are.

    Great job.

    Eric
  • Congrats!
  • Jay, Fantastic! Big Congratulations & the Very Best Wishes
    Makes me wish I was in Phoenix to join you,
    John Schneider
  • Congratulations and all the very best wishes for a great future.
  • Jay & Francy:

    Wishing you abundant success for both your business and your personal lives. I know you'll find the freedom of running your own brokerage both financially and personally rewarding.

    The logo is absolutely beautiful. Very elegant and a great way to start your new venture.

    All the best!
  • Congrats Jay and Francy! Not that I could teach you anything about real estate, but if I can be of any help, let me know.

    Is it just you and Francy, or did you bring some agents with you? Just curious.
  • Good luck in the venture, If/when you want to expand to Tucson hit me up!
  • I just started reading your blog and have been enjoying it.

    Congrats on your new venture. Your technology savviness and strong communicaiton skills will lead to your success. I am sure you will do great.

    Awesome,
    Narinder
  • Good luck on your new brokerage venture. I have recently opened my own office here in Lake County Florida. It is a slow going process, but we will make it.
  • ((sound of bottle of champagne hitting the bow of the ship))

    Bon voyage! I really enjoy your blog. Best of luck from one small broker to another....
  • Great move Jay and Francy. I know you will be a HUGE success!

  • Congratulations. The logo is beautiful, very classy.
  • Love the logo- I think you be one of the leading edge brokers in Phoenix and very successful. Best of luck!!

    Jamie
  • Wow, thanks everyone! Francy and I truly appreciate the overwhelming well wishes!!
  • Thomas Johnson
    Congratulations, Jay! I see this move as a logical consequence of your unrelenting pursuit of the leading edge of RE Web 2.0 plus your intense focus on the customer experience. Your business model has launched you far beyond what most branded franchises can provide their practitioners. Not the fault of the brands: you are not pushing the envelope, you have shredded it.

    My math is fairly simple:

    Annual Gross Commissions less (Broker Split + Brand Costs) must exceed Annual Gross Commissions less (Free Agent Broker costs + Additional Overhead)

    For Linda and I, the ERA affiliation pays for itself by a huge factor. Everyone's mileage may vary.

    Again congratulations on your new venture. I see nothing but Shaw-sized success for you and Francy!
  • Congrats. I hope you guys have a great time with it. My broker knows that the only way I'll leave is to start my own... and he is nervous...

    Have a blast and keep up the good work.
  • Add me to your list of well wishers! Congratulations on getting it done.
  • Congratulations and best of luck! Great logo....
  • Jay, This is very cool! Congrats to both of you. I really like your logo too. It is sharp!
  • Jay - Best logo I have seen in a long time. Well done.

    "near-paperless transactions" Awesome... very awesome.
  • Jay - Congrats to you and Francy! Best wishes; I know you'll do great!
