Toronto's Top Keller Williams Team Goes 'Big League'

via public.remax.net

The No. 1 Keller Williams team in the Greater Toronto area – a nine-member group – recently joined RE/MAX First Realty in Whitby, Ontario. In some respects, it was a return home. In 2009, Dave Sachko, who had built a succesful eight-year career at RE/MAX, was lured to Keller Williams by promises of support for his budding team. It was a difficult decision. Although Sachko's team grew at Keller Williams, there was always something lacking in the office atmosphere, he says. “I have a strong work ethic, and I felt like I was playing in the minor leagues. I missed the big-league environment at RE/MAX.” Paul Etherington, Sachko’s office manager at RE/MAX, kept in touch over the years, calling regularly to offer mentorship and support – things Sachko wasn’t finding at his new brokerage. Etherington had changed RE/MAX brokerages – moving to RE/MAX First Realty to manage its 150-plus agents in three offices – but he never gave up on Sachko. “I knew Dave would be back,” says Etherington, who's been friends with Sachko for over 12 years. “While he was gone, I kept reminding him that he was missing out on all the brand-name recognition he had with RE/MAX. In our market, RE/MAX has 40 percent market share; no one even comes close.” Now Sachko and all of his team members – who had no reservations about following their leader to RE/MAX – are exactly where they should be, Sachko says. “My local reputation and my team’s hard work, combined with RE/MAX technology and support systems, make me very happy to be back,” Sachko says. “RE/MAX is absolutely the best place for productive agents.”
