Own Your Real Estate Brokerage
City2Shore gives brokers the platform, tools, and national reach to become successful brokerage owners.
Brand overview
Founded in 2011 by Steve and Shelley Frody, City2Shore began as a Michigan-based real estate company helping clients buy and sell single-family homes, condos, commercial properties, land, and multi-family properties. The brand earned its franchise license in 2016 and has since grown to multiple offices across the state. Today, City2Shore National Franchises empowers brokers across the country to transition from working for someone else to owning and operating their own brokerage, whether by starting a new franchise or converting an existing one. Owners gain access to national platforms, proprietary programs, and a proven support system designed to attract and retain top-tier agents and teams.
