NAPLES, Fla. —  According to a Tuesday announcement, cloud-based brokerage Call It Closed International Realty is now operating in Oregon and Washington, expanding it national footprint to 18 states with the addition of Principal Broker Eric Young in Portland.

The Florida-based company’s co-founder Chad Osborne commented on the expansion and Young’s hiring.

“Eric’s roots in Portland and the Pacific Northwest run deep,” Osborne said. “Our entrepreneurial model gives agents a far greater opportunity at success, and as the company continues to expand, our innovative approach and network of local experts are poised to deliver the best deals available for both buyers and sellers.”

The statement said Call It Closed, which was founded in 2019, is the country’s first and only cloud-based, 100% commission brokerage with a multi-tiered revenue-sharing platform.

Young brings nearly 25 years of real estate and banking experience in Oregon and Washington to the company, the statement said, most recently supporting more than 200 agents as a managing broker at his previous brokerage’s office in Vancouver. He has been licensed as a Principal Broker in Oregon since 2018.

Call It Closed is actively recruiting real estate agents in Oregon and Washington alongside the other states the organization operated in. Interested agents can visit joincallitclosed.com to learn more.

“The digital revolution that has upended how we communicate, conduct business, and navigate the wider world is transforming commercial and residential real estate,” Osborne said. “At Call It Closed, we are moving beyond an outdated business model that puts a disproportionate share of control — and commissions — in the hands of large brokerages by instead empowering individual agents.”

Rather than pay franchise fees or split commissions like some large firms, the announcement said Call It Closed’s model gives agents a greater opportunity at success. According to the statement, when agents have more control of their cash flow, then they can better use their resources to market their property and have greater autonomy.

According to the announcement, Osborne said Call It Closed is also in the process of opening several affiliates overseas including a location in London.
