The Ebby Halliday Companies Are Navigating Change with Confidence

No other local brokerage has been at the forefront of change longer than the Ebby Halliday Companies. Since 1945, they have been providing agents with the cutting-edge tools, comprehensive training and innovative services needed to weather whatever “storms” have cropped up in the industry and the local market. The industry is once again facing a time of transition, but commitment to agent success at EHC – which comprises Ebby Halliday Realtors, Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, and Williams Trew – has never been higher. 

Carolyn Rosson, President and CEO of Ebby Halliday Companies, and her leadership team have been working tirelessly to make sure that commitment is evident to everyone, from the inside and the outside.

“When you choose us,” Rosson says, “whether it’s to fulfill your real estate needs or to anchor your career, you’re choosing certainty because in our 79 years, we have been down similar roads before and always came out stronger for it. This year, we have been busy staying ahead by educating both ourselves and the people affected most by these changes – our clients. We have many initiatives underway to help settle the collective nerves.”

Comprehensive Education, And Expertise

Ebby Halliday Companies agents have always benefited from regularly scheduled, cutting-edge educational programs designed to keep them ahead of industry trends. And since the news of impending changes regarding buyer’s agents first broke, Broker of Record Ginger Gill has been heavily involved in helping them process these changes in regular classes and in-the-field Q&A sessions. (Over the last six weeks, she led seven virtual classes with an audience of 1,400-plus agents, created 11 individual educational videos, and conducted 27 office visits).

“What I tell agents when they inevitably ask about the future,” Gill says, “is ‘you are full-service Realtors at a full-service brokerage firm and we are going to all be fine and continue to grow our businesses.”

Not only is she helping them process the changes, but she personally participated in the process of updating all Texas Realtor forms and is coming to these classes and sessions with first-hand knowledge.

“It was very interesting to work hand-in-hand with the four Texas Realtor attorneys and see how much they care about the agents in Texas,” Gill said. “They looked at every single document for three-plus months, adding to and refining them to protect our agents and make sure they were able to get compensated while staying compliant with the settlement agreement. It was also fascinating to meet other brokers from around the state and hear how they do business in their areas. I feel very lucky to have been there live and in person to hear why and what we were doing with each document to protect our agents.”

Innovative Marketing and Strategic Support

In addition to supporting agents by dispensing knowledge, EHC’s dedicated 14-person marketing team crafts compelling weekly materials that showcase the unique value of agent services, positioning both seller’s agents and buyer’s agents as industry leaders. By anticipating market needs and providing timely resources to counter the fear created by sensational news reports, they are empowering EHC agents to build lasting client relationships based on trust and expertise.

Mentorship and Growth Opportunities

Recognizing the power of mentorship and having many seasoned mentors to pull from, EHC is positioned well to foster a culture of growth and advancement. They have tapped top producers to mentor peers through specialized training sessions, sharing invaluable insights and strategies for success. This mentorship not only enhances individual performance but also strengthens the cohesive team environment and collaborative culture found throughout the company’s 30 offices.

Looking Ahead

Joining EHC means joining a community dedicated to unity, advancement, and superior client service. For the last several months, they have been preparing for an upcoming company-wide Fall Summit that further exemplifies a commitment to continuous learning and collective networking strength across all brands. This event will feature an international keynote speaker, industry leaders from NAR, LeadingRE, and a sister HomeServices of America brokerage, as well as a top-producing agent panel. Agents will leave equipped with the skills and confidence to thrive in any market condition and new connections that will inevitably prove invaluable down the line.
