United Real Estate Bolsters North Texas Presence with Merger of Stryve Realty and United Real Estate | DFW Properties

Published

on

Stryve Realty is the second Fort Worth-based brokerage to join United in the past 12 months

DALLAS, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — United® Real Estate (United), the nation’s eighth largest brokerage, announced today a merger between Stryve Realty, based in Fort Worth, and United Real Estate | DFW Properties, based in Grapevine, solidifying its foothold in North Texas.

The combined operations include two offices in Fort Worth and one in Grapevine under the United banner. The move expands United | DFW Properties to more than 200 agents servicing the region. Stryve Realty founder Shawn Buck will support brokerage services and organizational growth as Associate Broker, Strategic Growth Partner moving forward.

Buck comments, “This partnership is the right move at the right time. The brokerage industry is quickly evolving. United is empowering agents and teams to build their own brands and run their businesses according to their needs. It’s a bottom-up instead of a top-down management approach. My agents will benefit from United’s level of brand recognition, top-notch technology, training, referral network, healthcare plans and retirement, to name a few. They’re poised to provide a superior level of service.”

Managing Partner/President, Andy Bearden, states, “We are coming alongside Shawn, adding to and enhancing his tools, technology and support. We are taking his resources to the next level. I believe he will find he’s in business with good partners who care about their agents, and we think the same way about him. There are many brokerage leaders like Shawn who could benefit from a conversation with United.”

This is the second merger in 12 months for United | DFW Properties, following its October 2023 merger with Insight Realty, which added approximately 100 agents to the agency. Stryve Realty’s 60 agents and existing Fort Worth office expand United’s service footprint and support services for agents and consumers.

Principal Broker and Partner of United | DFW Properties, Brenda Cole, underscores the synergistic union, “With this merger, we are making a positive impact on the lives of our agents. I could not be happier to bring Shawn and Stryve Realty into our circle and show United to others. We are excited to have a larger family to share with and to learn from. We have gained a new team of commercial and residential agents, added a new office in Fort Worth, expanded our agent support team and increased our value to agents and consumers.”

Rick Haase, President of parent company, United Real Estate, explains, “We are thrilled to have Shawn and his agents join United Real Estate in the DFW market. Shawn’s deep caring for his agents and clients, as well as his standing in the local real estate community, make him a perfect fit for our organization and his new role. As is always the case when new talent joins our company, there is a reciprocity of learning from each other. With this merger, we are raising all boats.”

Mili and Egnyte Partner to put Client Documents to work in Financial Advice

Published

By

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.

About Egnyte

Egnyte is a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, trusted by more than 23,000 customers to increase employee productivity, drive operational efficiencies, and secure mission-critical content. Egnyte’s AI-powered platform empowers organizations to create, share, and protect their information at scale, with specialized solutions designed to meet the unique needs of organizations in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), financial services, life sciences, and other industries.
