Denver's #1 Team Just Left Their Old Brokerage. Here's What Made Them Move.
By Bean Group Team

When you're the top-ranked team in Denver—$305 million in sales, 429 transactions, and back-to-back #1 finishes in the Denver Metro Association of Realtors—you don't make changes lightly.
The Impact Group by the Numbers
$305 million in 2024 sales volume
429 transactions closed
31 agents + 4 support staff
#1 team in Denver Metro Association of Realtors (2 years running)
It Wasn't About Leaving Something Broken
"It wasn't about leaving something broken. It was about being curious."— Jon Cole, Founder of The Impact Group
That's an unusual statement from someone running a 31-agent, $305 million operation. Most teams at that level stay put. They've figured out their systems. They've built their reputation. Change feels risky.
The Collaboration Factor
What ultimately sealed the decision wasn't commission splits or technology (though both mattered). It was access to a national network of top producers who actually share what's working.
"That level of collaboration is game-changing. It gives our team access to strategies, marketing ideas, and systems that have been proven to work in competitive environments nationwide."— Tabitha Bartel, Co-owner
What This Means for New England Agents
The Impact Group's story mirrors what we're seeing across the country—including right here in New England with teams like The Denman Group and The Slocum Home Team making similar moves.
The pattern is clear: top producers are choosing platforms that offer ownership opportunities, collaboration networks, and the flexibility to scale without the overhead of traditional models.
A Question Worth Asking
If Denver's #1 team spent a year and a half evaluating their options before choosing eXp, it's worth asking yourself: have you done the same evaluation?
