the case
The DeGroot Real Estate Team, operating under Keller Williams Realty, is a husband and wife dynamic duo. Still starting out, they are working to establish their own strong brand. They're distinguished from other realtors and teams by their attention to detail, family-oriented approach, and constantly going above and beyond for their clients. Where other realtors haven't succeeded, they come in and make things happen for their clients. Realizing this, they wanted to build an identity apart from the Keller Williams brand and illustrate their distinguishing qualities with a fresh brand design.
the approach
To get a better sense of their business, we went through a brand workbook to understand the essence of their brand: their clients, approach to business, and business goals. After cataloguing many brand characteristics, I developed multiple logo and style options to get feedback and hone in on a direction. We then worked to perfect the logo with a couple round of edits and I crafted a tagline to complement their brand design. We then finalized the logo and variations, making sure that their brand could appear in many forms to ensure consistency across their various types of collateral. We then developed the accompanying collateral, further bringing the brand to life, and in tandem crafting the style guide. The trickiest part of the style guide was to ensure that the DeGroot brand could be used alongside the Keller Williams brand, and detailing how that would happen.
the output
We developed a full suite of materials to get them started on their new brand and business journey. It included a logo and variations, brand tagline, brand style guide, business cards for each Jenna and Doug as well as a joint business card, notecard, social media profile graphics, and a For Sale sign for properties. Jenna and Doug are well on their way to building their team and establishing a great real estate business in Florida!
