Earning partnership at The Connor Group is a significant milestone. It reflects the culmination of relentless dedication and a steadfast commitment to our organization. And when a new partner is revealed, it creates an emotional moment not just for that new partner, but for every associate in the room.
The Connor Group celebrated seven promotions to partner across multiple markets this past awards season. We cheered on lead techs, managers and central office associates who now all have an ownership stake in our company and the properties we purchase. Partners in our organization have the opportunity to begin building generational wealth.
In Fort Lauderdale, senior manager Traci Quetano was in disbelief as her mom, dad and fiancé entered the room and her promotion was announced. Tears of joy flooded her eyes.



“I’m just so grateful,” said Traci. “After four years with the company, this is something I’ve wanted so, so badly. It’s a huge honor for all the hard work, dedication and the hours.”
The road to partnership is not without challenges and obstacles. Associates must first be nominated to be placed “on the radar.” You can learn about the process here: Associates on the path to partnership.
