Realogy celebrated the fourth graduating class of Ascend: The Executive Leadership Experience. The group of 31 real estate brokerage leaders were honored for completing the comprehensive 46-week program that provides a unique learning opportunity to enhance the business succession program within their companies.

Realogy offers Ascend to its brand-affiliated real estate broker owners who seek a smooth and profitable business succession transition as well as rising senior leaders of large multi-office franchisees and company owned stores. The program leverages Realogy’s deep industry knowledge and engages senior leadership, real estate industry experts as well as more than 70 brand franchisees who have participated in panels and webinars over the past four years.

"Realogy’s Ascend leadership experience is a unique and compelling learning opportunity within the industry," said John Peyton, president and CEO, Realogy Franchise Group. "Across Realogy, we strive to offer valuable and effective programs that support the growth and success of our franchisees and affiliated agents, and we congratulate all those who have completed this year’s program and wish them much success as they ascend to new heights within their individual companies."

Ascend features intensive learning experiences that prepare participants to become successful brokerage leaders by challenging them to significant growth in three core areas identified in the program’s mission statement: Leading Self. Leading Others. Leading Organizations.® The challenging curriculum combines onsite classroom sessions at Realogy’s headquarters along with online learning modules and individual case study presentations.

According to Mike Good, Realogy’s executive champion for Ascend, out of the 31 graduates, four have already received promotions and eight have become owners.

While the graduation marks the end of the program for today’s graduates, the learning continues as they join previous graduates in the Ascend Alumni Network, which now boasts nearly 150 members representing all of Realogy’s franchise brands, across three countries and in 125 different cities. The Alumni Network continues to meet for structured events, knowledge sharing and networking.

"Participation and completion of this program is a significant commitment to personal and professional growth," Good said. "We congratulate all of our graduates who have shown exemplary progress over the past year."
