RSVP Brokers ERA was founded in 2004 by real estate brokers Steve Kloetsch (CEO) and Andy Kloetsch (COO and Designated Broker). As a father-and-son real estate team, they experienced firsthand how much of their hard-earned commission went to brokerage splits that didn't match the value they received. Together, they started RSVP to build the brokerage they wished they'd had.
Today, RSVP is a family-owned, fully remote Washington State brokerage with 270+ licensed brokers serving communities across the state. While we maintain registered offices in Bellevue and Seattle, our brokers work from wherever they are. We've grown by doing one thing well: keeping costs low and support high so brokers can focus on their clients, not their overhead.
Here's what sets us apart:
Named a RealTrends Verified brokerage, a Puget Sound Business Journal Hall of Fame honoree, and one of the fastest-growing private companies in Washington State, RSVP is proof that putting brokers first works.
Whether you're newly licensed or an experienced producer, RSVP gives you the systems to grow without giving up what makes your business yours.
We understand tech can feel overwhelming. With ERA's full technology platform, which includes over 30 tools for marketing, lead generation, and business growth, combined with RSVP's hands-on support, you get:
Every tool comes with training and support, not just a login and a help ticket.
In September 2021, RSVP affiliated with ERA Real Estate, immediately becoming one of the largest companies in the ERA system. That partnership combines our local, family-run values with the resources of a globally recognized real estate brand.

RSVP is family-owned and operated, founded in 2004 by Steve Kloetsch (CEO) and Andy Kloetsch (COO and Designated Broker). Before founding RSVP, Steve and Andy worked as a broker team and experienced firsthand how much of their hard-earned commission went to brokerage fees that didn't match the value they received. That experience is why RSVP was built around keeping costs low and putting more money back in brokers' pockets. Decisions are made by people who know the agents, not a corporate board. Combined with zero desk fees, a fully remote model, dedicated tech support staff (not a help ticket), direct access to the designated broker, and the global reach of ERA Real Estate, it's a structure designed to help brokers keep more income while getting more support. RSVP is a RealTrends Verified brokerage, a Puget Sound Business Journal Hall of Fame honoree, and was named one of the fastest-growing private companies in Washington State.
RSVP Brokers ERA has 270+ licensed brokers serving communities across Washington State, with registered offices in Bellevue and Seattle. As a RealTrends Verified brokerage, RSVP has grown steadily since its founding in 2004, expanding through its fully remote model and broker-friendly fee structure.
RSVP takes a different approach than most brokerages when it comes to leads. While we do have ERA's lead routing system that distributes inquiries from our website, our real focus is on helping brokers build sustainable business pipelines through their sphere of influence (SOI). We believe that strong relationships, not cold leads, are what drive long-term success in real estate. Our staff includes a Buffini Certified Mentor who leads coaching programs such as "100 Days to Greatness," helping brokers strengthen their referral networks and grow their business organically.
