How Can We Help YOU Achieve Your Real Estate Goals?

Join The Operative Group – Where REAL Estate Agents Thrive

Looking for more than just a brokerage change? Looking for a place that actually gets it?

Imagine…

  • Walking into every week with a pipeline full of opportunity instead of wondering where your next deal is coming from.
  • Having world-class systems, coaching, and marketing done for you so you can focus on closing deals—not chasing them.
  • Partnering with leaders who have built multimillion-dollar portfolios and are willing to share every play in the playbook with you.
The Operative Team

This isn’t a dream brokerage. This is The Operative Group.

We’re not hiring “agents.” We’re recruiting high-performance teammates who are tired of excuses and ready to level up.

Why The Operative Group?

We believe in one core rule: Work Hard. Be Kind.
Our culture is built on The 7 Standards, the code we live by:

  • Make $hit Happen
  • Respect Everyone, Everything, Everytime
  • Complaining Leads to Cancellation
  • Work the Solution, Not the Problem
  • Know Your #’s (or someone else will)
  • Your Vibe is Your Tribe
  • Burning Desire for Financial Freedom

We don’t hire credentials. We hire for mindset, grit, and impact.
If you’ve got the hunger, we’ll give you the blueprint.

The Proof Is In The Performance

Co-founder Ed Zulyevic keeps agents plugged in with operational systems, CRM mastery, and funnel generation. Together, they’ve built one of Oregon’s most respected, investment-friendly real estate teams.

We practice what we preach—our team leadership personally owns and operates a $5M+ real estate portfolio spanning STRs, multifamily, new construction, and MHPs.
