FIV Realty Co

Kalayji built the brokerage around revenue sharing for its agents and came to it from a California background, having worked at Provident Real Estate, First Team Real Estate and Prudential California Realty before studying marketing at Cal State Fullerton. The firm operates across state lines, and its agents here work the Washington County market.

Behind the brand

A franchise office is locally owned and locally staffed; what it buys from the network is the name, the referral pipeline and a set of tools. For a seller that matters most when the buyer is out of state, which in Washington County they very often are — FIV Realty carries a listing into a national audience that a purely local firm has to reach some other way. It does not change who negotiates your deal, which is still an agent in St. George.

Which part of the valley this is

The address falls in St. George proper rather than in one of the outlying cities, which puts it within a short drive of most of the county’s inventory. The closest neighborhoods we write about are Stone Cliff, Washington Fields and Foremaster Ridge, which is the quickest way to picture the ground this office stands on.

Buying a first home in this county

First-time buyers in Washington County run into two things at once: a market with a lot of out-of-state cash competing for the same entry-level stock, and a set of Utah-specific loan programs most people have never heard of. Utah Housing runs down-payment assistance with its own eligibility rules, and rural USDA financing covers more of this county than buyers expect — Hurricane, La Verkin and Leeds among other places. Ask an agent at FIV Realty Co which of those a property qualifies for before you rule it out. Our first-time homebuyer guide has the detail.
