WHY J. ROCKCLIFF REALTORS? Is your current company not right for you? Maybe it’s not the same company you first joined. Maybe you don’t like the changes that have been made. Do you feel like it might be time for a change?
Every day, new real estate models are emerging to join those already in existence. With inventory area-wide the lowest it has been in a number of years, how do you choose the company that will guarantee your success? There are fee-based companies, full service (traditional) companies and emerging technology-based companies. Which one is right for you? First, one must understand that technology is important, but real estate sales are still largely a face-to-face business. It is becoming more complex every day. Laws change, forms change, and there are a large number of agents competing for their “piece of the pie.”
J. Rockcliff Realtors offers our agents the best of all worlds. We are a people-based company. Our full-time managers do not compete with you, they help you build your business. Our IT department offers the latest in technology tools, service and training, while our marketing department, staffed with graphic designers, will help you design your marketing pieces. Our team of in-office support staff operates by the “Ritz-Carlton Creed:” YOU are their clients! Ability to reach global and luxury markets? We can! J. Rockcliff Realtors belongs to an exclusive, worldwide network of Independent Brokerage Firms, just like us. Additionally, our top two executives are members of the Board of Regents for Luxury Real Estate, a worldwide network of companies specializing in luxury markets and garnering J. Rockcliff Realtors recognition in Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. Even more importantly, J. Rockcliff Realtors is the number one company in the East Bay in market share, giving our agents a distinct advantage in access to upcoming inventory before other companies even know it’s available. In short, we hang more signs in the East Bay and have better brand recognition than any of our competitors. Highly experienced, non-competing managers help ensure each office is run professionally. The President and Executive Vice President bring a broad perspective and have intimate industry knowledge to help guide the Rockcliff team. Both sit on the Board of Directors for the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

WHAT OUR AGENTS HAVE TO SAY
As an agent who has been in the business for over 25 years and closed over 800 transactions, I consider J. Rockcliff Realtors to be the “cornerstone” of my success. The brand is strong, recognizable and has enjoyed their “number one in the market” status since inception. J.Rockcliff provides me with tools and support that I need to service my clients at the highest level. I learned a long time ago that a solid partnership with my Brokerage is what makes a great real estate career, not jumping from one ship to the next. A solid foundation, strong leadership and a “steady as she goes” attitude no matter the challenges of the market is. Rockcliff cares about its agents and all of their employees. In Danville in particular, Robin, the manager, brings the experience of being in the trenches as an agent and also serving as an advocate for the agents at the highest level. She’s always available and willing to help at moments notice. Whether you are starting your real estate career or ready to take it to a higher level, I cannot more strongly recommend that you experience what J. Rockcliff Realtors is all about.

After 31 years with a large national franchise we moved over to J. Rockcliff Realtors in 2008. At that time we interviewed all of the top firms in the area, and what attracted The Torrey Team to J. Rockcliff Realtors then is just as applicable today - the strong leadership from the top fostering a team-like atmosphere of sharing and problem solving which makes all of us more productive!
