Who are we? Why should anyone want to work with us?
We know the real estate business. That's why.
When Sara Smith first entered the world of real estate sales in 1996 as an assistant for a top-producing agent/contractor in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, she never dreamed where the industry would take her — from real estate sales to title and escrow, mortgage underwriting, loan processing, and a two-year stint as a mortgage loan consultant — before bringing her back into real estate sales, this time with a focus on marketing, advertising, and design.
Sage Johnson emerged from the College of St. Scholastic in 1996 with a B.A. in English and Communication, followed by a Masters degree in Journalism from the University of Alabama in '98, she found herself traveling the country as a freelance writer and editor.
In 2000, Johnson decided to add another layer to her experience as she ventured into real estate sales for the first time. Building on her experience in research and writing, Johnson was a natural in real estate marketing and advertising.
Fast forward to 2016 when Smith and Johnson decided to join forces and create a boutique marketing firm specializing in upscale publications and marketing tools for real estate teams looking for something unique, custom, and totally turnkey.
