Alex Kessler | CEO & Founder of KessCo

Our brand is built on authenticity. On the games side, we’re fans of the properties that we work with and the games that we play. We make games by fans, for fans. And if someone isn’t already a fan of a property that we’re working with, we make sure the games are accessible and still fun without being a fan. On the toy side of the business, we’re also fans of play and making play fun and interesting. People can tell that we really care, and that’s what’s led to our success. Read more>>

Danielle Whitney Moore | Owner of Team Whitney (Real Estate Team)

We feel the key to our brand’s success lies in our unwavering commitment to building lifelong relationships with our clients. Our mission goes far beyond facilitating a real estate transaction, whether it’s buying or selling. We strive to be a trusted resource, always available to support our clients with their best interests at heart. From vendor referrals to answering real estate questions or offering guidance, we are here for our clients every step of the way. We go the extra mile, encouraging them to set up trusts to avoid probate, file for homeowner tax exemptions, and navigate important decisions throughout the buying and selling process. We do not stop there though. Our reminders and support continue long after the deal is closed. For us, our clients are more than transactions. They are family. Just like family, we are here to help whenever they need us. Read more>>
