OF CONSUMERS TRUST ONLINE REVIEWS
Our company culture speaks to who we are, the type of agent we attract, and how we are perceived by the consumer of real estate services. We focus on what is really needed to successfully partner with an agent to assure their success. That is, client-centric marketing, comprehensive technologies, automated systems and an inspirational culture.
“A WELL SUPPORTED AGENT RESULTS IN A WELL SERVED CLIENT”
Our comprehensive proprietary platform puts the latest technology at your fingertips, all in one place. Our multifaceted approach to training and support is designed to make all things easier for today’s busy agent. Our all inclusive business model is affordable and flexible.
We live in a wondrous time. American ingenuity and innovation has brought forth a cornucopia of technologies for the betterment and enrichment of our daily lives. The way we communicate, the way we connect with one another has been revolutionized by the Internet.
3D Virtual Tours
Now comes the availability of dramatic 3D Virtual Walkthrough Imagery of the interior of a home or any building. We have this technology, in-house, that can provide a truly virtual walkthrough tour of your home or other property. This technology also provides still image capture from any viewpoint along the tour. Also, it can provide black & white line drawn floor plans, with dimensions. A terrific time and cost saver to the agent. Give it a try below!
Drone Videos
We are committed to utilizing the cutting edge technologies available today and tomorrow for the benefit of our clients. Aerial Drone Videography has become a “must have” for many home listings today. Such photography provides a unique visual perspective of any property being offered for sale. We have, in-house, the state-of-the-art 3D Robotics Solo Drone, with the latest GoPro Hero 4K camera and steady cam gimbal. All designed to provide stunningly crisp and flawless videos.
Imagine how dramatic our presentation of your home will be!
Virtual Office
Each year, agents will continue to use mobile devices more than personal desktop computers. The real estate transaction itself is becoming completely paperless, allowing agents to work remotely and more efficiently in the field. NextHome provides technology and a brokerage environment which supports this changing transaction process.
Large real estate offices are passe’ and provide little to no benefit to agents, or their clients. In most real estate offices today you will see desks upon desks, with less than 10% in use at any point in time. This lacks financial sense. Every square foot of these underutilized offices drain funds from far better uses, such as advertising and other client services. Our NextHome real estate brokerage is lean, efficient and productive.
Instead of a brick and mortar, stand alone brokerage offices with conference rooms, we offer our agents several top notch venues for client conferences. We have arrangements with banks, social clubs and other facilities to allow our agents to reserve modern, well maintained conference rooms for those special times when a private conference table setting is needed to work out the finer points of a complicated transaction.
As a forty-five year veteran of the real estate industry, I bring a wealth of experience in many phases of the business of real estate. My successful real estate experience includes brokerage, land development, construction, investment and property management. The successful seventeen-acre Cross Creek Ranch subdivision in Montecito is but one example. Our subsidiary, T3 Property Management, offers state-of-the-art management services.
In the face of large corporate takeovers of smaller, efficiently run brokerages, I am committed to reestablishing the much revered brokerage model previously represented by the Pitts & Bachmann Real Estate Company in the Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley areas. That is, a broker/owner that is present, approachable and daily concerned with your success. Call me directly @ 805 708-6400 to discuss your career with us.
SAVINGS = EARNINGS
OUR BETTER COMMISSION SPLITS, WITH CAPS, along with free WordPress website templates and website hosting, superior computer systems, low royalty fees, discounted quality vendor selections, and many free internet based services are all designed to substantially drive down the costs for agents to pursue their careers.

AFFORDABLE & FLEXIBLE ALL-INCLUSIVE FEES
Our Agent Franchise Royalty Fee Structure is as simple as you can get. We offer two models; a very low monthly flat rate fee, or a gross commission income fee. In either case, there are no surprises. No extra fees, period.
CHANGE FROM MONTHLY FEE TO COMMISSION-BASED
We also offer our agents the option to change plans every six months. Why change plans you ask? One common reason is seasonal. During the slower winter season agents can go on the commission split. Then when the busy summer arrives, agents can switch to the monthly flat rate. Great option isn’t it?

NextHome Preferred Properties has you covered at no expense to the agent.

WHAT OUR AGENTS ARE SAYING:
Is it the Brand that makes the Agent? Or, is it the Agent that makes the Brand? Steve Decker, owner/broker of NextHome Preferred Properties, believes it is ultimately his Agents that make his Brand well respected and successful.
After nearly twenty years with a large corporate owned and operated brokerage, I found a new home with a terrific locally owned and operated brokerage whose owner/broker is innovative, supportive, accessible and truly focused on the success of each of his associates.
I encourage you to join me and the team at NextHome Preferred Properties in making this “the brokerage” to hang your hat and do successfully what we all love to do…sell real estate!
