More Than Real Estate: Why We're Proud to Be Part of This Company

At The Churchill Team, we often say that real estate is more than just property—it’s people. It’s community. It’s about building a life with meaning, surrounded by those who inspire us to be better every day. That belief is at the very heart of why we are so proud to be part of a company that lives those values, day in and day out.

Nineteen years ago, our founders—including Ryan Iwanaga and his best friend—set out with a bold vision. Alongside 27 other courageous real estate professionals, they wanted to build something different. Not just another brokerage, but a place where people could do purpose-driven work, form lifelong relationships, and make a positive impact—not only in real estate, but in the communities we serve.

And what started with just 29 passionate agents has now grown into something extraordinary: a 700-strong family generating nearly $7 billion in annual sales. But as impressive as those numbers are, they’ve never been the true measure of our success.

It’s the Spirit That Defines Us

What sets this company apart is its soul—a spirit of collaboration, kindness, and unwavering integrity. We are more than colleagues—we are a family. We've shared each other’s joys and challenges, supported one another through highs and lows, and celebrated countless milestones together.

This isn’t just a place to work. It’s a place to grow, give, and belong.

1% for Good: Giving Back With Heart

One of the most powerful reflections of our values is the 1% for Good program. Through this agent-driven initiative, our company has given more than $6.5 million to over 500 charities. This impact isn’t just measured in dollars—it’s felt in classrooms, shelters, food banks, and nonprofits across the region.

Our agents lead with generosity because that’s who we are. We're not just building homes—we're helping build stronger communities.

A Company That Grows With You

Over the years, we’ve shared more than just transactions—we’ve shared life. From welcoming babies to walking children down the aisle, from personal challenges to professional triumphs, this company has been the backdrop to it all.

As one of our founders shared, their youngest child was born just two years before the company launched. Today, they welcome a grandchild into the world. That kind of personal reflection reminds us that time is precious—and how lucky we are to spend so much of it doing meaningful work with people we admire and care about.

Why We Love Being Part of This Company

At The Churchill Team, being part of this company means:

  • Collaborating with thoughtful, mission-driven professionals

  • Making a real impact in our communities

  • Working in a culture that values authenticity, generosity, and connection

  • Being part of something bigger than ourselves

We are proud to be part of a brokerage that leads by example and lives by its values. In an industry that can often feel transactional, we’ve found something transformational.

And we’re just getting started.
