Hello again, friends (and perhaps mildly curious readers).

If you’ve been paying attention—and let’s be honest, who can blame you if you haven’t? —you might know we’re on the cusp of a milestone: Original Realty Group (formerly Roots Out West) is turning five. Yes, that’s half a decade of wrangling listings, navigating contracts, and occasionally fielding requests for a sprawling castle on a studio-apartment budget—we’re not judging!

Why Five Years Matters

They say by the time you hit five, you should have some semblance of maturity, right? Mmmmmmm. Our approach remains refreshingly—dare we say, original—unburdened by stuffy real estate clichés and over-the-top theatrics. Instead, we serve up honest advice with a side of humor and a raised eyebrow at the industry’s more outlandish moments.

The Big Things on Our Radar

Now, let’s talk about what’s next. In a nod to progress, we’ve got some exciting plans in the works—think expansions, fresh collaborations, and maybe even a new coffee maker in the break room because I'm feeling SO generous (I kid, I kid). Naturally, the details are under wraps for now (can you say free OG tattoos!?) but rest assured, whatever we do next will remain true to our core: originality, transparency, and a sense of humor.

A Toast to You (Yes, You)

We also want to thank everyone who has trusted us to guide them through the exhilarating ups and downs of buying or selling a property. You keep us on our toes and occasionally keep us up at night when you email listings at 2 a.m. with subject lines like, “OMG, look at this one!” But hey, that’s what we signed up for, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

So, here’s to celebrating five years of Original Realty Group—and yes, we will be throwing ourselves a confetti-filled party (stay tuned for details!). Also, consider this your formal invitation to join us for the next five years, and beyond. Who knows? Maybe by then, the real estate world will have learned to appreciate our world class sense of humor. 😉

Until then, keep your eyes peeled for our “big things.” We promise they’ll be worth sticking around for, because if there’s one thing we’ve learned in half a decade, it’s that staying original never goes out of style.
