a look back at 2021 We began 2021 with more uncertainty and unknowns than in previous years. There was a dark cloud hovering above with no clear direction where the markets would head while we continued to be affected
James Nunemacher CEO & FOUNDER
by a global pandemic. 2021, like the previous year, enabled Vanguard Properties to retool our services and add more support to our agents from a staffing & technology perspective along with new affiliations that have enabled our brand to shine brighter. Our doors at every office location remained open every single business day to ensure our agents had a safe and comfortable place to work while adhering to local protocols. In June, we became a member of LeadingRE and Luxury Portfolio International. This affiliation has a network that is larger than all our competitors including Compass, Sotheby’s, Keller Williams & Coldwell Banker.
“ O ur doors at ever y of fice location remained open.”
We have greatly benefitted from this network in both referrals and from an educational perspective. LeadingRE offers a wide variety of training for our agents and leaders. We worked with national trainers and coaches vetted by LeadingRE to better arm our teams with knowledge to successfully compete in the current marketplace. In 2021, we onboarded over 100 agents of varying experience levels. We also opened the doors to our first East Bay branch in Lafayette under the leadership of Ron Mintz. Further north, we planted a stake in the ground for our first Napa Valley office in a beautiful historic building in St. Helena.
We are fortunate to have Joshua Dempsey at the helm to help us build a solid team to service the region. We expect to open our doors in early 2022.
“ . ..we plan on carr ying its light for ward into the new year...”
The Bay Area market was posed to break records in all areas just beyond the borders of San Francisco proper and we saw the most competitive marketplace in the Bay Area’s history. What was most surprising was the record-breaking number of transactions that occurred within the borders of our great city of San Francisco. The pace of sales hit double digit growth and transactions hit a record for the first two quarters of 2021. The single-family market in all regions surged in demand and the condominium market stabilized and began regaining strength. The Bay Area exodus theme quickly faded and was replaced with a rhetoric of reshuffling of homeowners with the Bay Area. San Francisco’s resilience is here to stay. As we wrapped up 2021 we opted for regional holiday celebrations rather than our tradition of one large company soiree. The mood of each of these gathering had a strong sense of family and community, something we have always been able to carry forward and this is due to our incredible culture of professionals who care about each other and their practice. The mood of 2021 ended in stark contrast to its inception, and we plan on carrying its light forward into the new year as we continue to build our brand while retaining its fiercely independent culture.
