Early in 2004, 45th Parallel Realty, L.L.C. opened its doors in Elk Rapids. The main purpose was to form a company whose mission is to provide clients with exceptional service by truly professional agents; and not a company driven to fill offices with people, whether they are qualified or not, just to increase company sales volume. On January 1, 2007, 45tth Parallel Realty, LLC in Elk Rapids, Became 45th Parallel Realty Premier and is now solely owned and operated by Lesley Werth.

Our Philosophy

Our main philosophy is to provide a technically advance platform for agents to better serve their clients, creating an environment of teamwork by attracting only highly professional agents and efficiently manage agent costs resulting in financial rewards for our agents.

Through years of experience we have learned that more money will be made in this business by treating people fairly and generously than by stepping on toes to make a quick buck. Our overriding philosophy is pretty simple:

Think of your clients' best interest first
Be honest with both clients and other agents
Address any potential problems immediately and head-on
Share what you've learned to help other agents succeed
Each agent's individual success leads to success for the rest of the company

Why Choose Us?

Quality of agents: We are convinced that the biggest mistake most brokers make is to bring on any agent regardless of personality, experience, integrity, or work ethic. One inexperienced or unethical agent within an office can cause any number of problems. We purposely designed our office to accommodate a limited number of qualified real estate professionals. While every agent works under 45th Parallel Realty Premier, they are in fact their own business. By surrounding our agents with other agents of similar experience, drive, and integrity, we know they'll be more likely to sell each other's listings when shown, add credibility to the company and, in the end, grow their individual business.

Get something for your money: When an agent in a large firm begins selling 2 to 3 million dollars in volume each year, the amount of commissions paid to the broker can be a hard pill to swallow. It's especially troubling when the agent feels like their not getting much for all of that money they're paying in. At 45th PRP, we're committed to providing advertising, technology, support staff and other services that will directly result in growth in our agents' individual business. 45th PRP will provide all of the following for agents:

High quality image advertising
Tremendous internet presence with no additional charge
E and O insurance provided
High quality LaserJet printers for low cost, high quality printing
Advanced telephone systems
Central database allowing instant access to complete info on all company listings
Competent office staff servicing fewer agents

Entrepreneurial Atmosphere: In many large companies, it's easy to feel like a very small drop in a very large bucket. With 45th PRP, each agent owns his/her client list — your clients are not doing business with you because of the company you work for, they are working with you because of the service you are providing. 45th PRP is the platform for you to better serve your clients.
