"“Once we decided to make the merger happen, we asked what we would need to do to close the merger. In the first meeting, we said it would be closed in five weeks and we closed it exactly on schedule.”"
"“Our organizations have been networking with each other at conferences and getting to know each other. The more we all got to know each other, the more we realized that we were all really after the same thing, which is a more seamless way to better serve our members and our subscribers.”"
"“Doing it is huge, but now we are doing it from the inside as one organization as opposed to two organizations trying to put things together before the merger even happened.”"
"“An obvious benefit is that everyone will now have access to the same tools, services and listing information. We both had a very robust product offering and being able to share that across the South Florida marketplace is going to be huge for our brokers and our agents.”"
The merger between two South Florida real estate associations was planned around member and marketplace needs. Leadership determined the steps required to close the merger and set a five-week timeline, which was met exactly. Success was attributed to volunteer leadership and prior networking between the organizations at conferences, which helped align goals toward more seamless service for members and subscribers. After closing, co-CEOs focused on internal tasks to fully integrate operations as one organization. A key benefit is that agents and brokers gain access to the same tools, services, and listing information. Combining robust product offerings across the marketplace is expected to strengthen support for brokers and agents.
