Empowering Brokers with Baird & Warner's Black Alliance Network.
In June of 2024, the Black Alliance Network became the first affinity group to be officially chartered at Baird & Warner. Founded by Heidi Rogers, assistant manager and broker in the Oak Park office, the Black Alliance began as a means for Black agents within the company to connect with one another and offer mutual mentorship and guidance.
Heidi started by recruiting other top agents to support and mentor newcomers, and the group operated informally for several years before approaching the executive team at Baird & Warner to become a formal affinity group. Steve Baird and his executive team were in full support — thus, the blueprint for affinity groups in the company was then formed.
"There are so many Black agents in the company. We didn't know each other, and we felt that if we could have an organization where we could come together, we could share...

In the face of adversity, our agents know we have their backs.
We have experienced many challenges throughout our 170+ year history, and we have always met them head-on with a spirit of innovation and a focus on ensuring our agents can keep doing what they do best.

Leading the team is Shannon Lange, a former VHT/Matterport sales and account manager and a licensed real estate agent of 20 years. Working alongside Shannon is Michael Johnson and George Tsakanias, two VHT/Matterport veterans. Together, they worked around the clock t...

Coaching events that actually make a difference in your business.
We talk a lot about the depth of our training and coaching opportunities and how it's essential to agent success, but what does that actually mean in practice? It means regularly providing opportunities to expand their knowledge and skillset so they can tackle what's impacting their businesses right now.
Recently, our top agents attended an event with speaker Terri Sjodin, a NYT bestselling author and nationally recognized sales expert. Stepping in as sales coach for the day, Terri went beyond the basics to provide a deeper understanding of what persuasive speaking really is...
