Where the team fits in

The Agency Marketplace tribe builds and maintains a set of products that allow potential sellers to connect with the right agent, and for agents to find and cultivate the seller leads which are crucial to the success of their business. The tribe is unique in that it has a foot in both camps – we build products for both agents and the people who require their services.

The squad itself is the Phoebe Squad, a mature, full stack web team which has shown itself to be adaptable and open to new ideas and processes that will improve either the efficiency or the wellbeing of the squad.
