West + Main Homes co-founders Stacie Staub and Madeline Linder believe flexibility is the key to the boutique real estate firm’s success.
“Our vision of storefront, boutique-style locations with fluid and open floorplans and no dedicated desks allows every member of the company to use the spaces in the way that best suits their needs,” says Staub, who’s also the company’s CEO.
The company, which serves residential and commercial agents and their clients in Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon, Minnesota and North Carolina, ranked No. 452 on Inc. the magazine’s top 500 list in 2022.
In Colorado, West + Main has earned a spot on the Denver Post’s Top Workplaces list since the company opened in 2017. This year, it’s the second-place midsize business. In 2022, and 2021, the company earned the No. 3 ranking.
The company continues to grow and recently added new storefronts in Breckenridge and Oklahoma City’s Paseo Arts District. The company’s also looking for opportunities to expand in other states.
“There are so many ways to run a real estate brokerage, countless business models and offerings,” Staub says.
“At West + Main, we have a staff mantra: ‘Our agents are our clients.’ We work hard to make sure to give our realtors what they need to best serve their clients and have a lot of fun along the way.”
West + Main continues prioritizing life-work balance for its staff and licensed realtors.
The company uses platforms like Slack, Trello, and Brandfolder to communicate and maintains a commitment to its company culture with frequent opportunities to learn and collaborate, Staub says.
The company’s always looking for new opportunities to innovate.
“The real estate industry is a very unique space, where technology will continue to improve the way that we market properties and facilitate transactions, but I firmly believe that nothing will ever be able to replace the vital role of people throughout the process,” Staub says.
