The Ops Boss® Checklist for Rebrand Or Brokerage Change

When you change brokerages or rebrand, it’s not just about swapping logos—it’s your chance to make a massive impact, reconnect with your database, and capture attention. A smooth transition means having your DOO and Marketing Director handle every detail so you stay visible, relevant, and in control. Let’s break down what you need to dominate your next big move.

Why This Is a Big Deal

Changing brokerages or rebranding isn’t just busywork—it’s a strategic power move. It’s your opportunity to reintroduce yourself to your sphere (and your recruits!), stay top of mind, and showcase your growth. Consistency across platforms protects your brand recognition and client trust while giving you the perfect reason to reach out and remind your audience why you’re the go-to expert in your market.

If you’re a Director of Operations, Marketing Manager, or Executive Assistant, ensuring no critical details slip through the cracks is key to a successful transition. We’ve highlighted a few must-dos below—make sure you download the FULL Ops Boss® Checklist for Rebrand or Brokerage Change to cover every detail!

Brand Identity Refresh

First up—lock in your new brand identity like a pro:

  • Update your logo, color palette, and fonts across all platforms
  • Refresh your brand messaging (mission, vision, values, tagline)

Digital Presence Overhaul

Visibility is everything. Ensure your brand stands out across all digital channels:
