Full Rebrand — 10-Part Scope

The Client

The Real Estate Station is a hometown Texas brokerage with offices in Argyle and Saint Jo — a team of agents built on community roots and long-standing relationships. Owner Dave Salisbury had grown the business into two locations with a full roster of agents.

But the brand hadn't kept pace with the business. RES needed an identity as established as its reputation — and one system to unite two offices, dozens of agents, and every piece of marketing they touch.

The Challenge

  • A dated identity that undersold an established, trusted brokerage
  • Two offices and many agents, each needing to look like one unified brand
  • No documented standards — every flyer, sign, and post started from scratch
  • A story worth telling — with no video or content system to tell it

The Video

Two office tour films — one for each station — produced by Message Masters and live on the RES YouTube channel:

The Brand

The new RES identity is built on a warm, grounded palette — forest and sage greens against clean neutrals — with a documented type and layout system, so every agent and office produces marketing that looks unmistakably RES.

The Results

  • One brand, two stations. Argyle and Saint Jo now market under a single, documented identity — down to location-specific brochures cut from the same cloth.
  • A self-sufficient team. With guidelines, templates, and a shareable vendor kit, the RES team produces on-brand marketing without reinventing anything.
  • A brand you can tour. Both office films are live on the RES YouTube channel, giving buyers and sellers a real look inside before they ever walk in.
  • A lasting partnership. The engagement keeps growing — and today RES sponsors Message Masters' Foundation & Future business event.

"Thank you for everything!"
