When Legacy Group founders, Claudia Restrepo and Seth Maefsky, were looking for someone to lead their growing real estate team, they knew John Graham was the man for the job. With an extensive background in business, sales, and playing and coaching college basketball, John’s ability to lead came quite naturally.
“Whenever people talk about a high functioning business, you’re going to hear them talk about a high functioning team. There’s a direct correlation there. Companies achieve great success when they unify and function well together as a team.”
-John Graham, CEO & Owner, The Legacy Group
Teamwork is just one of the many values that The Legacy Group embraces daily. The idea of a real estate “team” is an increasingly popular model – one that the Legacy Group has truly pioneered at the local level. When Keller Williams initially proposed this philosophy, it faced some objections, but the concept has evolved into a formula that brings success to agents and clients alike.
Together Everyone Achieves More
As the longest-tenured team in the area, everyone at The Legacy Group truly collaborates to achieve more. As a result, transactions conclude more quickly with an entire team behind them. Likewise, the team support structure facilitates growth for individuals in a unique way.
“Agents choose to join the Legacy Group because they feel supported here,” says Graham, “The learning curve for new team members is minimal, which helps us to operate more efficiently.”
Efficiency is just one way The Legacy Group is able to offer a work-life balance to each agent. Whether they’re taking a break near the well-stocked snack cabinet or playing darts and shuffleboard in the break room – the office is a truly enjoyable place to work.
Building a Strong Team Culture
The office is fun because The Legacy Group takes their team culture seriously. Thanks to the delicious monthly breakfast meetings and intense mid-day basketball games, The Legacy Group has built a framework for fun. John Graham credits this to the character and integrity of his staff.
“One of the benefits of a curated team is that we get to work with some amazing people. Each of our agents are tremendously skilled – even the new ones grow quickly with us, and we’ve developed great relationships with each other, which translates into great client relationships as well.”
Clients who value relationships will find an ideal partner in a Legacy Group agent. Here, it’s a buying, selling, or investing partnership. Expertise and integrity have made The Legacy Group the top producing team in 2021. Having sold 160 million last year, The Legacy Group is proud to capitalize on the strengths of each member to achieve the success it has.
Our Commitment to Each Other And Our Clients
Success means so much more than numbers. The mission statement at Legacy is “empowering families today with tomorrow in mind”. This is meant not only for Legacy Group clients, but for the team as well. The leadership team at Legacy is committed to equipping its members with the best resources possible to function well as an individual and in a group. From weekly individual coaching sessions to annual team bbq’s on the river, the camaraderie among the agents is strong. It’s that very cooperation and solidarity that fuels the fun and success at The Legacy Group each day.
