Western Property Group is an Independent, family owned and operated Brokerage.

Started in 1973 by Owner/Broker, Barry Ford, Western Property Group is one of the top Independent firms in the Valley.

There is a trend sweeping the local Real Estate industry. It's a movement away from the franchise/mega- Brokers and toward the local Independent offices.
The Remax's, The Coldwell Bankers and the Century 21's are struggling to keep their top producing agents. Realtors and consumers alike, are unwilling to accept the red tape and franchise politics that these huge offices operate under. Mandatory commission structures, six month listing contracts and listing contracts that can't be cancelled are a thing of the past, but the big Brokerages haven't accepted this change.

This is where the Independent Broker comes into the picture. Many Independents are owned and operated by agents that started their careers with the big offices.

WPG believes that the consumer benefits by offering maximum exposure to their property, flexible commission structures and cancelable listing contract. Some Brokers require their agents to leave new listings "off" the MLS for serval days and only advertise it within the office. This may benefit the office, but not the seller. These are just a few examples of the differences between Independent and Franchise Brokers.

Just remember the Agent sells your home and Western Property Group is an Independent Brokerage.
