Fort Mill Welcomes New Real Estate Brokerage
Fort Mill, South Carolina is set to become the home of a new affiliate location for United Real Estate, a rapidly expanding brokerage based in Dallas. This strategic move is part of the firm’s plan to strengthen its presence across the Carolinas and follows their announcement regarding the new location in Fort Mill.
Expansion in the Carolinas
The opening of the Fort Mill location marks the second United Real Estate Queen City office in South Carolina. According to company statements, this move will reinforce the brokerage’s service areas, enhancing support for buyers and sellers over a thousand miles, from Miami to Upstate New York.
Leadership Insights
Rick Haase, the President of United Real Estate, praised the leadership of United Queen City for fueling this expansion. “This type of expansion is exactly what United Real Estate strives to provide for its broker network across the country,” he said. Haase commended co-owners Ernie and Beth Becker for their effective management and growth strategies.
Ernie Becker has significant experience in real estate, previously with Keller Williams Realty. He noted that the success of the Fort Mill location largely hinges on their team’s commitment to providing exceptional service. “Buyers and sellers are demanding our high level of service,” the Beckers said. Essential team members such as Broker in Charge Deneé Goebel, Talent Acquisition Specialist Nikole Ananich, and Trainer Angel Drage have been pivotal in this growth.
