OCEAN CITY – A merger of the Keller Williams Ocean City, the Mark Fritschle Group and Condominium Realty companies was announced this week.
The offices will conduct business under the Keller Williams brand and will continue to operate from all of the
companies’ current offices in Ocean City and Salisbury. The merger of Condominium Realty with Keller Williams Ocean City makes the new company the new market leader, according to company officials.
“We are thrilled that two of Ocean City’s real estate leaders are coming together,” said Kelley Bjorkland, Team Leader of Keller Williams Ocean City. “We’re confident that this merger will have a positive impact on all of our agents and the buyers and sellers they serve in the Ocean City, Salisbury, Delmarva and surrounding markets.”
The newly combined company will be led by the same leadership team that has captured the Delaware beaches market. The Keller Williams Ocean City team consists of Operating Partner Gary Segal, partners Mathew Fetick and Brigit Taylor, Broker Walter Taraila and Bjorkland.
Condominium Realty’s founder Mark Fritschle, who passed away last year, always believed in empowering his agents with the best support and services. He believed in the mantra, “Build the agent, and the agents will build the company.” Fritschle was known for focusing on where the business is going, not where it is. By doing so, he put his agents in a position to be one-step ahead of the rest of the industry.
“Looking to the future, we’re happy that we were able to partner with a company that is recognized on a national level for being an industry leader in teaching, training, technology and agent support,” said broker/owners Lora Fritschle and Grant Fritschle. “The marriage of the two business models is natural, and the timing is ideal.”
Partner Matt Fetick added, “The economic benefits of the merger gives the new office a huge strategic advantage in the marketplace. We’re excited about implementing the Keller Williams business model, which offers world-class training, strong values and a culture that focuses on results through people.”
