Fred Sed
Operator
I have had real estate in my blood since birth. I am a third-generation Realtor and have been exposed to the Realtor lifestyle my entire life. Since my career started, I have closed well over 1,000 real estate transactions and over the last 15 years have become well known as a “fixture” in the Orange County area. Unlike other Realtors who may treat their clients as just a number, we thrive on treating every client like they are our only client and offer old fashioned, personalized service and support that has been missing in the real estate world since the internet age began. Besides being a real estate professional who is well versed in the art of buying and selling Orange County homes, my team and I are also skilled in helping homeowners with short sales and foreclosures plus we also thrive on helping first time home buyers and real estate investors get into the homes that they really want.

Why Should You Consider PLACE?
01
Low to No Expenses
Most real estate agents spend 40-90% of their commission on expenses to run their business. These expenses typically include salaries, technology, marketing and advertising, supply costs, signage, photography, lead generation, training, coaching, and systems. With PLACE, the money you make is your gross income and your net income.
02
More Time
Systems make the ordinary extraordinary. As a member of our team, the combination of systems and the ability to leverage all of the team’s resources means you have more time to spend doing what you get paid the most for - going on listing appointments and completing buyer consultations. You are able to spend the remainder of your time with the people you love and doing the things you enjoy most.
03
Do More Business
The combination of our training, technology, systems, brand, leads, accountability, and coaching will give you the tools to outperform the average agent with 10 years of experience. The top new agents on our team close between 24 and 75 homes in their first full calendar year on the team, while the average agent with 10 years of experience closes between 10 to 12 transactions per year.
04
Opportunity
Our unique opportunity model is designed so that every team member can build a team within our team that is more profitable and successful than the largest teams in the US.
