Culture
The Simply Vegas culture is second to none. We pride ourselves in not only having a great group of extremely productive agents, but also in the ethical standards of our agents. There is no one agent that is more important than our company. We are a team together and the idea of working together through a collective process is what drives our success. Our agents have been described as having “just the right amount of ego”. Meaning, no one works from a place of scarcity and our agents are not afraid to share ideas and techniques with each other.
This ethos is certainly reflected in the performance of our agents. We have found that happy agents are productive agents. And, to complete the circle, the more productive our agents are, the happier they become. That feeling is certainly infectious. After even a brief visit to one of the Simply Vegas offices, you’ll notice that its “vibe” is that of an office filled with agents excited about closing deals and improving each other’s productivity.
Pay
The idea was simply: build a luxury brand where agents flourish without itcosting an arm and a leg. Call it “luxury at a discount.” At Simply Vegas, we don’t take a percentage of commission and there are absolutely NO franchise fees.
A simple transaction fee per file and a small monthly investment is all it takes to be part of the premiere luxury brand in Nevada. We strongly believer that allowing agents to reinvest their earnings into growing their own business is crucial to their success. Our success hinges on yours.
Simply Vegas is also happy to share the wealth with our agents. Our simple to understand and execute profit share model rewards the agents that choose to help us grow. No complicated pyramid schemes here, straight forward rewards.
Space
The Simply Vegas offices are certainly the nicest in town. Because a number of our clients own multi-million dollar properties, it was imperative for us as a company to be able to portray an image in keeping with a top-luxury brokerage.
Both of our locations not only feature exquisite interior design, but are also extremely practical and usable. We have large conference rooms that are well-equipped to make our clients feel comfortable and are filled with “plug and play” technology. Our locations also offer excellent “ease of access,” not only because of their geographic locations and proximity to major thoroughfares, but also because of their ample parking facilities.
WORK AREAS
One of our prime objectives as a company at Simply Vegas is to create a comfortable working environment for all of our agents, not just a select few. Many companies have what they lovingly describe as a “bull pen” area – simply put, an area to throw everyone in together to fight for a small space to try and get some productive work completed.
At Simply Vegas it is the opposite. We have beautifully designed “productivity areas” throughout our offices, amply equipped with everything that our agents need in order to get work done effectively and generate income. The results speak for themselves: Simply Vegas agents continually top the production lists for sales in Las Vegas.
PRIVATE OFFICES
Both of the Simply Vegas locations have exceptional private offices. The majority of our offices are well-proportioned and filled with natural light. Many are completely furnished and all are finished to the same high standards that can be found in our reception and productivity areas.
We offer our private offices to our agents essentially free of charge, though all agents with private offices have a production commitment that they will need to adhere to. An agent who takes a private office commits to a minimum of 3 transactions per month, and as long as that level of production is maintained, there is no charge for an office.
Tech
At Simply Vegas, we take pride in being one of the most technologically advanced companies in not only Nevada, but in the country. While most companies advertise a paperless system, we have taken the process one step further. Our back office business management software allows our agents to manage every aspect of their business from one location. From transaction and client organization to managing leads and referrals, Simply Vegas agents are able to use our internal intranet to track and cultivate their business.
One of our transaction coordinators said it best when she said “I manage transactions for nine different real estate companies using six different systems and Simply Vegas’ system is by far the easiest and best”. While most real estate companies monopolize their agent’s time with boring, monotonous meetings, we post 3 minute videos on our intranet site monthly. Our agents are able to watch these videos at their convenience and get company and market updates on demand. Also, Simply Vegas is a leader in emerging technologies. From the Matterport to the Reel Tour platform we always strive to give our agents an edge against the competition.
Training
BRAND NEW AGENTS
90%. That's how many people in your real estate school graduating class will be out of the business in a year. Why? We feel it's the way that real estate is taught. Many companies offer group classroom training to new agents, we do not. Why? We feel this is the #1 reason for the high failure rate. We bring new agents on ONLY as part of one of our great teams at Simply Vegas. On a team, you will have a mentor as well as someone that is financially invested in your success by providing you leads. This system has proven to be infinitely better to the long term success of our new agents. Spend some time on a team and learn the business the right way before striking out on your own. Call today for more info.
SEASONED PROS
One of the advantages for seasoned agents is our drive to stay on the cutting edge in Real Estate. We are constantly searching for the next great tools to help you keep on top. We were the first company in Las Vegas to implement the Matterport Camera among other tools, and our marketing experience is invaluable.
Learn teams, luxury, marketing buys and more direct from the best in the business. We keep you sharp with monthly classes as well as our online training platform on things you NEED to know, not repetitive sales meetings designed to bolster Brokers vendor agreements.
We focus on collaborative dialogue and relationship building between our agents. We foster opportunities to learn best practices from other Simply Vegas agents and our Brokers are always just a phone call away.
Media Support
You no longer are in the "selling houses" business. Top agents today understand they must now be masters of media to create compelling content to stay relevant in a marketplace.
What does that mean? You have to be able to stay top of mind across a multitude of social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Podcasts) channels with fresh and engaging content designed to do just that. You also better have top of the line presentation materials when a client does engage, and modern concepts when it comes to digitally marketing your listings.
But who has time for that? Our agents do, thanks to our new Media and advertising department. With in-house video and podcast production studios paired with our in-house designers and editors, our agents have a competitive edge in our market. Want help with a podcast? No problem. Need an open house marketing video? We got you. Want to jazz up your Instagram story with motion graphics? All good. Need a branding package for a high-end listing? On way...free of charge... to you.
Stop by and see our facilities and meet our Director of Media Development anytime.
Access
Non-competing Broker, there…we said it. So let’s take a look at what that means. It either means: (A) A broker that makes so much money from agent splits that they don’t have to sell homes. OR (B) A broker that is semi-retired on a salary enjoying the twilight of their career and can’t really sell a home.
Either way, you’re probably not going to learn very much about the current state of Real Estate sales from either example. At Simply Vegas we guarantee two things:
- Both John and Gavin run tremendous real estate businesses and will continue to do so.
- They will share everything they do with you.
There are no secrets. We are here to help. Need advice about your website? No problem. Need Gavin to go to a listing appointment for a 2 million dollar home? Sure, of course. Our doors are always open for direction, advice and assistance. All you have to do, is ask.
Philanthropy
Philanthropy at Simply Vegas is an extremely important part of our culture. We are heavily involved with many great charities including Southern Nevada Children First and the Boy and Girls Club of America program. Gavin Ernstone, one of the owners of Simply Vegas, is a sitting board member at Habitat for Humanity Las Vegas, serving as the director of special events.
Philanthropy gives us an excellent opportunity to marry what we love to do on a daily basis – sell houses, with what we are passionate about – serving charitable organizations that are actively making a difference in the Las Vegas Community. Many of the events such as Home for the Holidays, a Habitat for Humanity signature event, and Artfully Sweet for Southern Nevada Children First are staged at our clients’ residences. This not only gives us the opportunity to create an awesome event for charity, but it is also a fantastic chance to promote a client’s home for sale – it’s like an open house on steroids.
