CEO/ Broker/Founder of Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc., Zoritha Thompson, is officially announcing a brand new Commercial Real Estate Division to the successful Corporate Real Estate business. “I’ve always wanted to do Commercial Real Estate but never really had the time because you do have to learn and study. COVID actually gave me the time to really sit down and delve into it,” said Thompson. The Commercial Division was launched on October 1st, 2020. The company has already listed (1) Land listing (approx. 9 acres), coming soon will be with three (3) commercial lots, more land/lots and a commercial business listing coming up soon.
It has been a much-anticipated venture for Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc., Thompson added, “Throughout the years I’ve always had people and clients asking me to do Commercial Real Estate. The new division will be another umbrella of sorts, allowing the company to be more of a one-stop shop for Realty needs. It will also open more doors for Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc., creating opportunities for more listings in business sectors, making more connections networking in the Sacramento business community and surrounding areas, and networking with local bankers or individuals who own numerous buildings.
For 29 years Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc., has specialized in listing, negotiating, and selling Corporate owned properties, or also known as REO’s (bank foreclosures). They have listed and sold properties for major Corporations like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, the Veterans Administration, and various other institutions. With the new Commercial Division Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc, to start, will specialize in Small Apartment Complexes with 5 to 25 units, Commercial Buildings and Land.
An engine is an integral part of any motor vehicle, so in the same sense, there are powerhouses behind the scenes at Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc., Thompson credits much of the success for her business to her Office Manager and her Sister, Juanita Lewis. Lewis has been a valuable asset to the company from Day 1 and has been the consummate professional. “She keeps it all together,” stated Thompson. Darlene Johnson, Milic Dockery and Jimmy Guzman are Senior Agents and have been with the company for 15 years or more. Goree & Thompson Real Estate, Inc., is raising up two fresh millennial Agents, Terrelle Keys, a Superstar Millennial, and Darius Graham an up and coming Millennial. Then, Thompson is bringing up the next generation in the family business, the highly efficient administrative assistant and her niece, Tiana Lewis.
Zoritha Thompson would be remiss to not acknowledge a company legend. She gives posthumous tribute to her late beloved business partner and friend, Carolyn Jean Goree. Goree, who was the Broker of Record before Thompson took over the helm, was also one of the founding members of the Sacramento Realtist Association. Goree passed away 2 years after the perfect pair founded the company in 1996. Thompson is confident that Goree truly passed down the mantle of success.
