The Prestige Team at Steamboat Sotheby's International Realty

The Sum is Greater than the Parts

In an increasingly competitive real estate market, consumers are asking for more. One solution finding its foothold in Steamboat is The Team business model. Consumers seeking a different customer service experience are looking to small real estate teams as a way to obtain diverse expertise immediately. Fitting this model, The Prestige Team has joined Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty in a move that will show their experience, innovation and ultimately deliver a sum that is greater than its parts.

“Consumers love that they have unlimited access to an agent. If one of us is with a client or on vacation, the other steps in without missing a beat,” says Lori Thompson, one of the three agents encompassing The Prestige Team that also includes Annamarie Shunny and Lani Holmberg. “The true value to our clients is the efficiency and expertise of our real estate process. As we move from negotiation to closing, we have several real estate brains that can be tapped at a moment’s notice as we vet problems and solutions.”

The Prestige Team at SSIR focuses on an approach that leverages the collective time and experience of its members while fortifying each other to more effectively deliver a full host of services for its clients. Shunny compares it to a classical musical trio, where a violin, viola and cello weave harmonies and melodies together, exchanging the different parts resulting in a display of individual skill and excellent ensemble. The Prestige Team moves seamlessly together to meet the client’s needs. “I have analytical strengths, Lani is experienced in innovation and business, Lori breathes marketing. We are all equal and all different," says Shunny.

Holmberg, The Prestige Team’s newest member, sums up the team’s goal, “Collectively we bring a unique competitive advantage to a transaction by simply having more resources to expediently tap into. A team always out services an individual. Every consumer has a personal preference and with the collaborative process and experience, we are playing the most effective game possible, while recognizing the customer needs and expectations in a fast-paced high-tech world.”
