FirstTeam named Aaron Shriner, former vice president and managing broker of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty and Group One Sotheby’s International Realty, its broker of record in Washington. Shriner was also named one of the brokerage’s founding members in the state.

Shriner has 25 years of experience in the real estate industry and co-founded The Shriner Group with his wife, Laura Shriner.

“What drew me to FirstTeam was the company’s team-oriented approach, the great things we continually heard about the leadership team, the industry-best stack and the customizable branding that comes with it,” Aaron Shriner said in a press release. “I’d been looking to work with a company that could move at the speed of the industry, and all the recent changes we’re seeing have only reaffirmed our decision. Multiple brands are sitting in the market right now that don’t know what the future looks like. At FirstTeam, we have the flexibility and stability to continue to grow in the evolving landscape.”

“Partnering with FirstTeam has meant joining a brand where innovation, teamwork and shared success drive everything we do,” Laura Shriner added. “It’s a refreshing change from the traditional model we’ve found at other brokerages.”

California-based FirstTeam opened its inaugural office in Washington in September and expanded into Idaho in April. The brokerage plans to continue its national expansion over the next several months with a presence in Arizona and Colorado.
