Kentwood’s History THE STORY BEHIND THE NAM E In January 1981, five brokers at Van Schaack and Company, Jack Bradbury, John Burns, Roger Campbell, Jim Nussbaum, and DeWayne Willardsen, formed the beginnings of their own distinguished brand, which would become Kentwood Real Estate.

name. “We wanted a name that was easy to say, easy to spell, memorable, and upscale,” said Campbell. “We referenced a map of England and looked at the names of cities and counties. We initially settled on The Kent Company, and then changed our minds.” Other names in consideration were Remington, Winchester, Camelot, Essex, Sussex, Kenwood, and finally Sherwood.
In 1987 Bill Moore, CEO of the nationally renowned Moore & Company purchased 40% of Kentwood. At the same time, John Fitzpatrick purchased 10%, completing the leadership team that would carry Kentwood into the future. The benefits to this merger were obtaining Moore & Company’s top five agents, access to Moore’s national relocation network, an

This is Your Business Run it Like a Boss A U T O M AT E YO U R B U S I N E S S W I T H AGENT BENFEITS COMMISION DEDUCTION. Avoid a major pitfall most Realtors face by controlling your path to Financial Success. Pay your taxes and fund your retirement with every commission check.
• Reduce taxable income • Automate your taxes and investments
Tax Account Enroll at www.taxpackage.net
• Save money ONLY when you make money • Automatic withholding from commissions
Retirement Account Enroll at www.retirementpackage.net
• Adjust commission percentage as needed • No commitment • Online account access 24/7
What Agents Are Saying “I don’t have to worry if I’m going to be short on my taxes and I am watching my retirement account grow. The key is AUTOMATIC deduction!”
“The commission deduction plan has been a game changer for me. The automatic deductions save me time, encourage me to spend less on nonessentials and reduce my worries about timing the market. I am able to select the percentage deducted and how it gets applied. I can even pause it if needed. I now have a money market account in place to pay taxes from and build an accessible savings safety net. I have also created a linked SEP retirement account to build savings while reducing my current taxable income. It is amazing to see how fast it grows when you automatically contribute a percentage of each commission check.”
