Brokerage services will also include TEI’s own portfolio.“We have received many requests from our clients to help them with all of their residential property needs because of our extensive experience in the residential market,” Axelrod tells MHN “The division will function as a boutique brokerage with a focus on personalized services.”Time Equities plans to grow from 10 people but not to a size that puts it in same league as huge brokerage houses.“We are contrarians and see opportunity even in a downturn,” Axelrod says of the timing of the division’s opening. “Even in a slowdown, people are selling their homes and downscaling, people continue to get married, have children, etc. The need does not go away.”
