Own Real Estate, VA&NC

Our annual Friendsgiving celebration is the largest gathering of pies most people will ever see. Truly! We bring a moving van of pies to share with our Realtors and a few extras for them to share with their clients. It is just a small way to share our gratitude within and beyond the OWN family. #Friendsgiving #PieLovers #Gratitude #RealtorLife #OWNFamily #PieParty #FoodForThought

No one shines brighter or bolder than the talented team at OWN!

“People leave when they don’t feel appreciated. That’s why we’ve made recognition a really high value. Our business is people-capability first; then you satisfy customers; then you make money.” -- David Novak - former CEO of YUM! Brands It all comes back to people. When people feel valued, they are so much more likely to make those around them feel valued - whether that is other team members or clients. It has been seen throughout the history of business. That is why we make it a priority to ensure that our real estate professionals know exactly how much we appreciate their knowledge and trust. Our holiday party is just one part of that equation. The real work is in making sure they feel important year round.

An incredible night spent celebrating incredible people. Aside from an excuse to get dressed up, our holiday party is a true celebration. We use it to celebrate accomplishments as individuals and as a group. We celebrate friendship and laughter. And - as always - we celebrate amazing food and the dance floor. What better way to show you appreciate someone than by throwing a giant party for them, right?!

We've had a few fresh faces come through our doors, and we are happy to announce Daniel as one of them! His excitement is contagious. He summarized it best when he said " I have a passion for real estate and cannot wait to get started!" That is exactly the type of spirit we like to see.

Is there anything worse than a stuffy Christmas Party?? That's why we make sure to host an incredible evening. We want to make sure we celebrate the year's accomplishments with fun and community! When you have Melissa Dupuis and Jason Bare running the show, you know you are in for a good time.

"My name is Monique Serges, and I have lived in Virginia Beach my entire life. I’ve spent 17 years in the cosmetology industry and have been a local business owner for the past 10 years. I currently co-own a salon in the Red Mill area, where I have built a business focused on connecting with my community and providing excellent service." --Monique Serges One of our newest team members is an excellent example of how pivoting your career can make perfect sense, even when you transition to a different field. Her knowledge as an entrepreneur, business owner, and her understanding of how to provide memorable service to clients are all skills that will serve her well in real estate. If you have the heart, we can help you learn the rest. Welcome to the family, Monique!

On Wednesdays, we wear pink. Just ask Tamara Orlando! Speaking of Tamara, did you know she’s licensed to serve both Hampton Roads and Northeast North Carolina? Why settle for Coastal Virginia, when you can dip your toes into Carolina waters, too? #OWNFamily #OWNRealEstate #VirginiaRealEstate #NorthCarolinaRealEstate

We set ourselves apart from other Brokers by allowing - and encouraging - our Realtors to market their businesses uniquely. There are no required fonts or brand colors. Headshots are not taken on identical backgrounds with identical poses. There is no expectation that our Realtors should quiet their personalities to match our image. With personality like this, it would honestly be a disservice not to let it shine! #RealEstate #RealtorLife #Brokerage #UniqueBranding #PersonalBranding #RealtorCommunity #RealtorPersonality #OWNFamily

When you change your perspective on who and how to love, you change your life - both personally and professionally. And if you need advice on how to love big, just as Christy Young.
