More and more real estate agents are choosing to start or join independent real estate brokerages. In a recent NAR study of Realtors, 51 percent identified themselves as being affiliated with an independent company.

But the rise of niche brands coupled with fierce competition from national competitors and thinning profit margins is making it harder to create and sustain a profitable independent business. Those who’ve proven the most successful have identified ways to leverage their indie brand and showcase its unique value proposition in a noisy world.

On Tuesday, July 17 at the Hilton Union Square in San Francisco as part of Inman Connect, independent brokers from across the country will gather for Indie Broker Summit to hear content focused on they can best leverage their indie brands for success.

Moderators Thaddeus Wong of @Properties and Kendyl Young of DIGGS will lead sessions on topical and timely issues facing every indie broker:

Vacation rental company Vacasa buys Sterling Resorts

Vacation rental management tech startup Vacasa isn’t slowing down its ambitions to conquer the market: this week, it announced that it has purchased Sterling Resorts, a vacation management company on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Sterling has changed hands before: it was bought by Pacifica Companies in 2015 and currently manages 450 homes. Now it will become a part of Vacasa’s effort to expand its presence in vacation destinations such as northern Florida, where Sterling is based. At the time of this latest purchase, Sterling’s home inventory was down from 585 properties in 2015. Vacasa has raised more than $200 million since its launch ten years ago. Founder Eric Breon said he was motivated to start the company after struggling to find a satisfactory management solution for a cabin belonging to his wife’s family on the Washington coast. Now Vacasa seeks to provide rental property owners with “a seamless experience…through innovative technology and local staff,” that give them

Forbes interviewed Wyatt to talk about creativity, design, the gun threat incident at NeueHouse New York, and why he isn't phased by his "800 p

CLARY/AFP/Getty Images) Getty A 2014 bill that aims to impose an additional tax on part-time New York residents—dubbed the “pied-a-terre tax”—has risen from the dead, largely in thanks to the recent record-breaking Central Park penthouse purchase by billionaire Ken Griffin. Griffin, worth an estimated $11.7 billion and No. 45 on the Forbes 400 , reportedly bought the $238 million-dollar apartment “as a place to stay when he’s in town,” according to his representatives. The purchase drew widespread attention to the financial losses that part-time and foreign property owners can cause the city. Bec
