New Real Luxury Office Opening in Haddonfield, New Jersey

Led by Industry Leaders Jeremiah Kobelka and Philip “Pip” Haxby-Thompson

A new era of luxury real estate is coming to South Jersey.

This October, a brand-new office under the banner of Real Broker is set to open at 310 N Haddon Avenue, Haddonfield, NJ 08033, providing a premium home base for top-performing agents focused on luxury listings.

Spearheaded by real estate entrepreneurs Jeremiah F. Kobelka and Philip “Pip” Haxby-Thompson, respectively President and Creative Director of Haddon Township’s JFKLiving Team, the office will serve as a hub for elite agents seeking to tap into South Jersey’s thriving luxury market while maintaining the independence and flexibility Real is known for.

The new space is not a JFKLiving Team expansion, but rather part of the Real Luxury Division—welcoming agents from any team or brand within Real who are ready to elevate their business. The office will feature modern amenities including private call booths, meeting rooms, and hot desks, all designed to support agents in delivering a white-glove client experience.

“This isn’t just an office—it’s an opportunity,” says Jeremiah Kobelka.

“We’re creating a collaborative space for agents who are serious about growing their business in the luxury market. Whether you're an independent agent or part of a team, this office is designed to support high-level professionals who want to take their careers to the next level.”

Real continues to be one of the fastest-growing real estate brokerages in the country, known for its agent-first model and innovative tech stack. The Haddonfield location will be one of the first luxury-focused Real offices in New Jersey.

“Real’s momentum is undeniable,” says Pip Haxby-Thompson. “As the fastest-growing brokerage in the US, we’re attracting some of the brightest talent in the industry. This new space in Haddonfield is the perfect example of how Real empowers agents to build their brand, their way—backed by a company that’s redefining what it means to be a brokerage.”

The Haddonfield office is scheduled to open on Thursday, October 9th 2025.

Agents interested in joining the Real Luxury Division or learning more about the space are encouraged to message Jeremiah here.

How to Switch Brokerages (Without Burning Bridges)

Leaving a brokerage can feel a lot like breaking up with someone:

• “It’s not you, it’s me… but actually, it’s a little bit you.”

Most agents don’t leave because they hate their colleagues or their office culture (though that happens too). More often, it’s because they’ve outgrown the environment, want different tools, see better splits, or are looking for a new kind of leadership.

Whatever your reason, the move itself can feel daunting. You don’t want to lose clients, upset your broker, or make the transition messier than it needs to be. So let’s break it down—both the logistics and the emotions—so you can leave with confidence, professionalism, and maybe even some friendships intact.

Step 1: Get Clear on Why You’re Leaving

Before you start writing your resignation email in your head during sales meetings, ask yourself:

• What’s missing for me here?

• Can I fix it without leaving?

• Will the new brokerage actually solve this problem, or just swap it for a shinier version?

Sometimes clarity alone can calm your nerves. And if leaving still feels like the right move, you’ll have a solid answer ready when people inevitably ask, “Why are you leaving?”

Step 2: Quietly Get Your Ducks in a Row

Think of this like moving houses—you don’t start hauling furniture out the front door before you’ve signed the lease on the new place.

• Line up your next brokerage first. Get your agreement signed, tools set up, and marketing pieces ready to go.

• Check your contracts. Some brokerages have non-solicitation or non-compete clauses (yes, even if they’re rarely enforced). Know the rules so you don’t accidentally step into legal hot water.

• Wrap up your transactions. Ideally, you don’t want messy pending deals hanging in limbo. Smooth closings mean fewer headaches.

Step 3: The Actual Breakup

Keep it short, professional, and respectful. A few tips:

• Do it in person or over a call, not just an email.

• Avoid the laundry list of grievances—it rarely goes over well.

• Focus on gratitude: “I’ve learned a lot here, I appreciate the opportunities, but I’m moving in a different direction.”

It doesn’t have to be Shakespeare. Clear and kind wins.

Step 4: Handle the Emotional Side

This is the part nobody talks about…

You’ll probably feel guilty, anxious, or like you’re “betraying” your broker and colleagues. That’s normal. But remember: this is business. Good brokers know agents move on—it happens all the time.

And if you’re worried about losing friendships? The good ones will stick. Your happy hours and coffee chats don’t have to disappear just because your email signature does.

Step 5: Announce With Class

Once it’s official, let your sphere know you’ve made the move. Keep it positive and future-focused:

• “I’m excited to share I’ve joined XYZ Brokerage, where I’ll have access to new tools and resources to better serve you/my clients.”

• Not: “Finally escaped that dumpster fire of a company!”

People notice how you leave. A graceful exit says a lot about your professionalism.

Final Thought

Switching brokerages is rarely comfortable—but growth never is. If you approach it with clarity, preparation, and respect, you’ll not only land on your feet, you might even level up your career faster than you expected.

And hey—your old office might even miss you enough to keep inviting you to happy hour.

Jon Campbell Team Joins The Kollective

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 24, 2025

The Jon Campbell Team Joins The Kollective to Launch Zillow Flex Partnership Across PA/NJ

Bethlehem, PA & South Jersey — The Jon Campbell Team, a top-performing real estate powerhouse with over $4 billion in lifetime sales, has officially joined The Kollective, a fast-growing lead share program founded by real estate innovator Jeremiah F. Kobelka of The JFKLiving Team in Haddon Township.

This move marks a strategic expansion of Zillow Flex opportunities in the PA/NJ region, enabling the 20-agent Jon Campbell Team to begin receiving between 150-200 high-quality Zillow Flex leads per month—backed by training, mentorship, and growth accountability offered through The Kollective.

The connection began earlier this year when Jon Campbell first heard of Jeremiah through real estate industry thought leader Sharran Srivatsaa. Intrigued by Jeremiah’s vision and The Kollective’s results-driven model, Jon began following his work on Instagram. As buzz around the Flex-based lead share program grew, so did Jon’s interest.

“When I saw how The Kollective was helping independent-minded agents plug into top-tier lead flow with real accountability, I knew we needed to bring this to our team,” said Jon Campbell.

Since then, The Jon Campbell Team has been approved by Zillow to participate in Flex through The Kollective—a notable milestone given Zillow’s careful vetting process for market saturation. Onboarding is now underway, with teamwide training rolling out across both states.

“Jon and his agents are exactly the kind of professionals The Kollective was built for,” said Jeremiah Kobelka. “They’ve got the drive, the local expertise, and now they’re getting the lead flow and systems to scale even faster.”

As the real estate market continues to shift, strategic alignment and agent support have become more critical than ever. The Kollective offers a unique blend of lead generation, agent independence, and collaborative training—without sacrificing personal branding or local market presence.

This partnership is expected to further strengthen The Jon Campbell Team’s dominance in Pennsylvania and New Jersey real estate while showcasing the scalability and agent-first ethos that defines The Kollective.
