DOORA Properties is a groundbreaking residential concept blending concierge real estate services with exquisite home design to transform how you buy, sell, finance, and furnish your properties. The brainchild of real estate innovator Troy Palmquist, a Southern California industry influencer and brokerage founder, DOORA Properties provides a suite of services designed with the sophisticated Southern California real estate client in mind.

Debating whether to align yourself with one of the nationally known franchise brokerages or a local or regional independent? Whether you are just starting out in real estate or are considering a mid-career shift to a new brokerage, this will be a huge decision. There are a variety of considerations to review before you decide.

Through its partnership with Side, DOORA Properties leverages technology and training to provide unparalleled support to Southern California real estate agents and their clients. By working with the design-side at DOORA Designs and DOORA Collective, DOORA Properties provides vertically integrated solutions for every real estate need. Side transforms high-performing agents, teams, and independent brokerages into successful businesses and boutique brands that are 100% agent-owned. Side exclusively partners with the best agents, empowering them with proprietary technology and a premier support team so they can be more productive, grow their business, and focus on serving their clients. Side is headquartered in San Francisco.

Palmquist has been involved in launching and scaling both indie and franchise brokerages while selling thousands of residential properties under his own license. He headed up the Engel & Völkers launch in Santa Monica before founding independent brokerage The Address in 2017. He took this first indie from one small office in the Channel Islands harbor to five offices throughout Southern California within four years. Over the past three years, the brokerage has recorded sales of just under $1 Billion. After selling The Address in 2018 and receiving a cancer diagnosis in 2020, Palmquist stayed on to serve as broker of record, overseeing the growth of the company during its transition. During this time, he helped to conceive of the model for what would become DOORA in collaboration with Southern California interior designer Antoinette Fargo. “Finding myself grappling with cancer created the space for me to rethink my priorities and my legacy, both personally and professionally. My goal is always to innovate, and I am proud of the innovation and creativity that went into the development of The Address. Now, however, I am ready to take on even bigger challenges and return to an ownership role with DOORA and DOORA Properties,” said Palmquist. Troy published his first book, Independent: Why the old-school brokerage model is broken — and how you can disrupt it. It was the culmination of years of thought and experience on both sides of the franchise/indie equation. He is currently hard at work on his follow-up. In Summer 2019, Troy was invited to speak at Inman Connect Las Vegas as part of a panel entitled “Change is Here: A Brokerage Survival Guide.” Opportunities like this bring more visibility to The Address while also burnishing Troy’s credentials as an influencer in the space. Troy has written and contributed to dozens of articles for major media outlets, sharing his thoughts on independent brokerages, company culture, and more. His voice in the industry provides a necessary antidote to the same old, tried and-true dogma, while also helping to inspire best practices designed to modernize the way real estate brokers work. Troy has been elected to the Board of Directors for the Ventura County Association of Realtors as well as being named to the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) 2020 Leading Edge Advisory Board. He believes in the importance of taking a leadership role and having a say in the direction of these industry organizations, especially as an independent brokerage owner.
