## Story

The firm opened with 15 affiliated real estate professionals experienced in serving Monterey County.

The firm is led by broker/owner Gavin Payne, who is widely respected for his strong leadership, dedicated broker support and agent growth.

Payne is also a graduate of Ascend: The Executive Leadership ExperienceSM, a one-year leadership program offered by BHGRE’s parent company Anywhere. Ascend is designed to provide rising leaders with the skillset and tools to help shape the future of the industry.

“Opening an office in Monterey is yet another exciting development for the company,” said Payne.

“But I want to be clear that the success of the firm comes down to the success of our affiliated agents,” he continued. “As a non-competing broker, I am able to focus 100% of my attention on building true partnerships with my agents. As their dedicated mentor, I am committed to their continued success. Today, my entire business model, from daily tasks to long-term goals, is defined by one thing — agent success.”

Growth plans for the Monterey office include increasing agent productivity with the firm’s proven professional development program and attracting real estate professionals. As the agent roster expands, the office will be better positioned to serve clients across the Monterey Peninsula.

Payne’s focus on professional development is widely known; the newly affiliated agents will have access to many business-building resources in Be Better University®.
