↑ 31%SERHANT. adds Chad Bishop Group in Fort Lauderdale. The team brings $600 million in career volume and closed 82 sides in 2025, per RealTrends Verified. Article Summary. SERHANT. expanded in Fort Lauderdale by recruiting Chad Bishop and the Chad Bishop Group from One Sotheby's. The team cites $600 million in career volume and 82 sides in 2025, per RealTrends Verified. AI Summary SERHANT. has expanded its Fort Lauderdale footprint by adding Chad Bishop and the Chad Bishop Group, a top-producing team that departs One Sotheby's International Realty, the company announced Thursday. The Fort Lauderdale-based group brings more than $600 million in career sales volume, including $80 million closed in the past 12 months, according to the announcement. In 2025, the team closed 82 transaction sides totalling $36.96 million in sales volume, according to RealTrends Verified data. This performance earned the small team the No. 256 rank in Florida for volume and No. 61 rank for sides in the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings. "SERHANT. represents where I believe the real estate industry is going by combining world-class marketing, technology, media and an incredible entrepreneurial culture with a brand that understands how to create attention for both properties and agents," Bishop said in a statement. "I've built the Chad Bishop Group around relationships, energy, creativity and delivering an exceptional experience for our clients, and I wanted to align with a company that shares that same mindset. Joining SERHANT. gives us the platform to think bigger, market differently and continue building something truly special in South Florida." Bishop's production highlights include setting Fort Lauderdale's price-per-square-foot record in 2022 and representing the seller of 6201 Melaleuca Road in Southwest Ranches, a property owned by Gisele Bündchen, according to the firm. Joining Bishop at SERHANT. are agents Lauren Ring, Brian Goodman and Alan Bishop. SERHANT. entered Florida in 2023 and has since ramped up both its resales and new development businesses across the state. Since its 2020 launch, the company has grown to more than 2,000 agents across 17 markets.
SERHANT. Is betting on car condos: what it means for the future of the luxury garage market. From XSpace in Texas to automotive real estate developments appearing across the country, major players in luxury real estate are beginning to pay attention to the car condo market. For those of The Garage Edit who have been working in this space for years, it feels like an important turning point. Car condos, motor condos and private automotive communities are appearing in more cities. Developers are investing in larger clubhouses and amenities. Owners are becoming more ambitious about their individual build-outs. And sophisticated real estate brands are bringing significantly more attention to the category. One of the most interesting examples is happening right now. SERHANT., the luxury real estate and media company founded by Ryan Serhant, recently expanded into Texas and has now partnered with XSpace Group to support its growth in Houston and across the nationwide XSpace x RAFA Racing Club portfolio. For the car enthusiast real estate market, it's another indication that a once relatively niche category is beginning to command much broader attention. SERHANT. Comes to Texas In June 2026, SERHANT. announced a major Texas expansion, entering Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio simultaneously. The launch brought together 13 founding agents and six independent brokerages representing nearly $1.5 billion in combined recent sales volume, establishing the company across four of the state's largest real estate markets. Ryan Serhant has also built an audience far beyond traditional real estate through television, social media and Netflix's Owning Manhattan. The company reports a combined social audience of more than 10 million followers. For an emerging real estate category that still needs greater consumer awareness, that kind of visibility matters. XSpace Is Growing at the Same Time The Garage Edit has been partnered with XSpace since the early stages of its expansion, when many of the ideas and developments The Garage Edit is now watching come to life were still conversations and concepts. XSpace Houston is planned as a roughly 109,000-square-foot development with 86 individually owned units, combining customizable commercial real estate with amenities and programming designed to create a larger community around the property. Earlier this year, XSpace also secured $29 million in financing to advance the Houston development. But Houston is only part of the story. XSpace is also working with RAFA Racing Club and Maximo Capital on a national expansion that brings together individually owned real estate, automotive culture, hospitality and community. RAFA Racing Club Takes the Concept Beyond Real Estate Founded by Rafael Martinez, RAFA Racing Club brings a country-club approach to motorsports, combining automotive culture with hospitality, social programming and performance experiences. In July 2026, RAFA Racing Club, XSpace Group and Maximo Capital announced plans for five luxury multi-use industrial condominium projects representing a projected $250 million in total sales. The initial markets include Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami/Boca Raton, Charlotte/Mooresville, Scottsdale/Phoenix and Los Angeles. Each development is planned to combine XSpace's individually owned flex condominiums with a members-only RAFA Racing Club Social & Performance Centre offering hospitality, dining, networking, racing simulators, driver development and other automotive experiences. Martinez has described the concept as a "community blueprint." It's a fitting description of where the industry is going. These spaces aren't simply about somewhere to park a collection. They're becoming part of a larger lifestyle and community, while their flexibility also opens the door to entrepreneurs, businesses, investors and owners with uses beyond automotive. And This Isn't Just Happening in Texas Look beyond Texas and the pattern becomes even clearer. In Southwest Florida, SERHANT. agents have represented units at Estero Motorplex, a 40-unit luxury garage condo development near Fort Myers and Naples designed for automotive enthusiasts and collectors. In Boston, the brokerage represents The Garage at Stoneholm, offering more than 50 configurable spaces, including customizable car condos near Fenway and Back Bay. There's also Stables Motor Condos, a collector and motorsports-focused real estate brand that has affiliated with SERHANT. as it expands its automotive real estate platform. Together, these projects point toward something much bigger: car-focused real estate is becoming a legitimate luxury real estate category. The Car Condo Itself Is Changing Too This may be the part The Garage Edit is most excited about at The Garage Edit. Many of the earliest car condos were relatively straightforward warehouse-style spaces focused on secure vehicle storage, perhaps with a lift, television, cabinetry and a small bar or lounge. The next generation looks very different. Developers are creating luxury clubhouses, member amenities and stronger social experiences. Inside the individual units, owners are thinking bigger too: private automotive showrooms, full bars and lounges, custom kitchens, golf and racing simulators, offices, mezzanines, architectural lighting, integrated technology, bespoke millwork, art and memorabilia displays. The question is shifting from: "Where can I keep my cars?" "What can I create around them?" That's Where The Garage Edit Comes In The Garage Edit has been early in this market, and from the beginning its goal has been to push the boundaries of what people envision these spaces can become. A luxury garage build-out has traditionally meant upgraded flooring, cabinetry, a lift, a television and perhaps a small bar. The Garage Edit believe the opportunity is much bigger. The Garage Edit approach a car condo with the same level of intention as any other high-end interior, designing around the collection, the owner and how the space will actually be experienced. Architecture, custom millwork, lighting, materials, furniture, technology and construction all become part of that vision. Its work spans luxury garage design, car condo design and complete car condo build-outs, from initial concept and construction documentation through procurement and execution. As the developments themselves become more sophisticated, the standard for what happens inside them is rising too. The Garage Edit is fortunate to be pushing that standard alongside XSpace and other forward-thinking car condo developments and automotive communities across Texas and beyond. So, What Happens Next? Companies like XSpace, RAFA Racing Club and SERHANT. are helping set a higher benchmark for what this category can become. They bring development, investment, community, marketing and visibility to a market with enormous room to grow. As awareness and demand increase, The Garage Edit expect both the developments and the individual build-outs inside them to become more sophisticated. There's also an advantage to discovering a growing real estate category early. The Garage Edit has already watched pricing evolve as projects move from early concepts into established developments. As more buyers discover these spaces, early opportunities won't necessarily remain available at early-stage pricing. And the potential audience extends far beyond car collectors. Flexible ownership creates opportunities for entrepreneurs, businesses, investors, builders and uses the industry may not have fully explored yet. The first generation of car condos proved there was demand for ownership. The next generation is raising the standard for what ownership can look like. And The Garage Edit is only beginning to see what's possible. About The Garage Edit The Garage Edit is a Texas-based design+build firm specializing exclusively in luxury garages and car condos, with projects nationwide. The Garage Edit partner with car condo developments and work directly with private owners to design, build and fully bring these spaces to life.

East & Co. opens in Boulder's Flatiron Park. East & Co., a new market hall, restaurant, bar and community gathering space, is now open at 2100 Central Ave. in BioMed Realty's Flatiron Park. The 17,000-square-foot hospitality destination is a collaboration between BioMed Realty, Working Title Food Group and EVG Hospitality. The project transforms an existing two-story office building into an all-day dining and amenity space designed to serve Flatiron Park's life sciences and technology workforce as well as the broader East Boulder community. Working Title Food Group, a Boulder-based restaurant collective, developed the culinary concept, while EVG Hospitality is leading the opening and operations. East & Co. offers coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with a full cocktail program, retail market and flexible indoor and outdoor spaces for meetings, events and community gatherings. The concept also includes an ongoing partnership with the Boulder County Farmers Market, incorporating seasonal produce and locally sourced products. The project involved a comprehensive renovation of the existing building. BNBuilders served as general contractor and Gensler provided architectural design. Construction included removal of the second-floor slab on metal deck, new MEP utilities from the street, installation of a new transformer, upgraded MEP distribution, a new commercial kitchen and extensive millwork. The redesigned space features a coffee and cocktail bar, fireplace lounge, game room, private conference and training areas, restaurant seating, indoor-outdoor gathering areas, an event lawn and cabana-style outdoor seating. The project team also had to maintain access and circulation for neighboring tenants throughout construction within the active life sciences and technology campus. According to BioMed Realty, the project responds to demand from Flatiron Park tenants for a central place to gather, connect and recharge while also supporting local Colorado businesses. Working Title Food Group founder Josh Dinar described the goal as creating a central gathering place for East Boulder and its growing technology and health-focused workforce. East & Co. is currently open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Ulysses Development Group (UDG), Congressman Joe Neguse, State Senator Dylan Roberts, Mayor Woods, Maria De Cambra, Eagle County and residents gathered SERHANT., the AI-native real estate and media company, has announced the launch of SERHANT.

FirstTeam enters the Midwest; SERHANT launches in Colorado. The California-based firm's national expansion continues. Plus, ENRG adds health insurance coverage for agents; Midwest indie opens office in third state; more. August 12, 2026 Editor's note: The brokerage business is a busy one, with frequent moves, mergers and milestones. Here we highlight some of the latest activity among brokerages across the U.S. FirstTeam expands to Midwestern markets. FirstTeam has launched operations in Kansas and Missouri, marking its entry into the Midwest as the independent brokerage continues its national expansion push. The firm is partnering with Broker/Owner Scott Eckhoff and Rival Real Estate to establish a community office in Kansas City. In addition to his work with Rival Real Estate, Eckhoff operates a team with his husband, Jason Eckhoff, serving clients across five states. Eckhoff also brings a background in IT, psychology and insurance, according to a news release - experience that gives him "a uniquely broad perspective that helps him anticipate client needs, solve complex challenges, and deliver exceptional service," the company said. Partnering with FirstTeam was "an easy decision," Eckhoff said, because the brokerage isn't "interested in changing who we are or how we do business" but is instead focused on "investing in what we have already created." By aligning with the California-based firm, "I believe we can accomplish even greater things for our agents, clients, and community," he added. FirstTeam CEO Michele Harrington said the partnership reflects her company's "focus on helping agents build strong businesses and supporting clients with best-in-class service," adding, "Scott, Jason and Chris have built an incredible business, and we're excited to work with them as we grow our presence in the Midwest." The expansion is the latest of several growth moves this year. FirstTeam entered Arizona in February, grew its footprint in the Golden State last month and inked what it described as a "strategic multi-year marketing partnership" with New York-based Brown Harris Stevens in May. SERHANT enters the Centennial State. SERHANT has expanded into Colorado, moving into the Denver metro market with 11 founding agents and a local leadership team helmed by Managing Director Rebecca Ferguson. Ferguson, who has more than 12 years of real estate experience, most recently served as managing broker for Kentwood Real Estate's Cherry Creek office. Her Kentwood team ranked first in production and sides in Denver for its office size for two consecutive years, according to SERHANT. The Colorado launch represents the brokerage's largest single-market entry by sales volume, with the incoming roster having closed $1 billion in combined sales, SERHANT said, noting that nearly two-thirds of the agents joining the new office were previously affiliated with Compass International Holdings brands. "The agents joining us are already some of its best," SERHANT Founder and CEO Ryan Serhant said. "What we give them is a different kind of leverage: AI tools through S.MPLE that take over the work that used to eat their day, and a media engine that puts their listings in front of millions," he added. "No one else is putting that kind of firepower behind their agents, and we're excited to bring our model to Colorado." Earlier this year, the luxury firm launched operations in Texas, California and Boston. Local KW leader exits ownership to focus on coaching. Jeff Glover announced this week that he has transferred ownership and leadership of three Keller Williams market centers in Michigan, allowing him to focus on Glover Agency and Glover U, his real estate team and coaching and training business. Glover served as majority owner and operating principal of the three market centers, which collectively closed nearly $1 billion in sales volume in 2025 and represented more than 500 agents. Under his ownership, the centers advanced in profitability, sales volume and market share, with the Kalamazoo operation moving from fifth to second in Kalamazoo County sales volume market share by late 2025, according to a news release. "Selling these ownership positions is about focusing my energy on where I can create the most value going forward," Glover said. "I'm choosing to sell so I can focus on serving every agent and leader in this business in a broker-agnostic way, not tied to any one flag." Glover's ownership journey with Keller Williams began in 2013, following his 2009 entry into the company. He will remain a Keller Williams agent and team owner. ENRG Realty adds nationwide health coverage for agents. ENRG Realty is offering its agents access to medical, dental and vision insurance nationwide, adding health coverage as a benefit for its virtual brokerage network. The plans, which are offered through national provider networks, have no waiting period or annual enrollment window and include coverage for pre-existing conditions, according to a news release. The brokerage characterized the offering as traditional health insurance rather than a cost-sharing plan, adding that it is intended to address challenges independent agents can face when seeking coverage through the open market, where plans can be costly and enrollment opportunities may be limited. "An agent can't successfully build a business, grow a team, or take care of clients if they're worried about their own health first," Co-founder and President Erinn Nobel said. "We want our agents to have health insurance. Plain and simple." More brokerage news. Dane Arthur Real Estate Agency and its specialized real estate marketplace LakePlace.com have expanded into Michigan with the addition of the Livonia-based Hart Real Estate Team. The independent firm, which has operated for over 20 years in Minnesota and Wisconsin, now enters its third state with an eye toward Michigan's recreational and waterfront markets, according to a news release. Dane Arthur Agency Co-founder David Gooden described the move as "the natural next chapter" for his firm, highlighting the state's "extraordinary number of lakes," "deeply established culture of waterfront living" and its "real estate community that values local knowledge." Coldwell Banker Realty has announced the addition of Brit Bertino as branch manager of the firm's San Francisco office. Bertino brings a leadership background in sales, as well as experience in agent coaching and business development. In her new role, she will oversee the brand's operations in the city, support agents and push market growth efforts, according to a news release. Bertino's "vision, experience and passion for this community make her the right leader for this important moment," said Jennifer Lind, West Coast regional president at Coldwell Banker Realty.
