Erik sits down with Michael Culeton, the Principal Broker of Symphony Real Estate, to discuss the story behind Symphony’s creation. Michael shares how the brokerage began, his leadership role, and Symphony’s vision for the future. He also talks about the core values that drive the company and how these values influence Symphony’s approach to supporting agents, clients, and employees.
Key Takeaways:
Symphony’s Origin Story: Michael shares how Symphony Real Estate was born from a conversation with Tim Leboeuf and Brett Fitzpatrick, leveraging the foundation laid by Symphony Property Management. With backend systems already in place, Symphony hit the ground running.
Core Values and Culture: The core values of Symphony—respect, integrity, and unity—have been central from the beginning. Michael emphasizes the importance of creating a collaborative environment where agents have a voice and feel heard.
Symphony’s Growth Strategy: Rather than focusing on rapid expansion, Symphony prioritizes supporting its agents and ensuring their success with a vision of controlled growth that doesn’t compromise the personal touch Symphony provides.
Success Stories: Michael highlights the success of agents like Tyler Ciffa and Brooke Thompson, whose potential was unlocked through the support Symphony offers.
Future Vision: Michael’s goal is for Symphony to continue growing while maintaining its core values and close-knit culture. Whether Symphony stays smaller or grows larger, the focus will always be on ensuring that every agent feels supported, valued, and empowered.
