Realty ONE Pennsylvania firms combine as REMAX adds Montana and 46-year Tennessee family brokerage

# What happened Two regional brokerage moves and several team realignments were announced that change local footprints and agent access to brand services. In Pennsylvania, Realty ONE Group Generations merged into Realty ONE Group Unlimited. REMAX added a new affiliate in Montana and brought a long-standing family-run Tennessee brokerage into its network.

# Realty ONE consolidation in Pennsylvania Realty ONE Group Unlimited integrated Realty ONE Group Generations, folding more than 100 real estate professionals into Unlimited's operations while keeping the York and Shrewsbury offices open under the Unlimited name. The founders of Generations — Glenda Kane, Alex Kane and Aaron Pendergast — shifted back to a sales focus, leading The Glenda Kane Team at Unlimited and continuing to run their property management company, Hulson Homes.

# REMAX additions: Montana affiliate and Tennessee family firm REMAX launched REMAX Confluence in western Montana, led by broker-owner DJ Smith with an initial roster of nine agents. Smith previously began his career with REMAX in Missoula, later held managing broker roles, and served as president of the Montana Association of Realtors in 2024. The new firm plans to recruit additional agents and aims to expand its footprint while emphasizing mentorship and collaboration.

In Tennessee, David Jent Realty — a family-owned brokerage founded in 1980 and now led by Jason Jent — joined the REMAX network as REMAX David Jent Realty. The firm serves Marshall County and surrounding communities with a team of 18 agents. The move gives those agents access to REMAX's referral network, marketing and technology platforms, and professional development resources while maintaining the brokerage's local, relationship-focused approach.

# Other team moves and brand alignments mentioned

# What this means for agents and local markets Joining a larger brand or consolidating under a single regional office typically offers agents centralized technology, marketing programs, administrative support, and access to wider referral networks. For broker-owners, the trade-offs often involve ceding some independent operations while gaining scale, marketing reach and platform tools. For consumers, changes can increase local offices' visibility and access to national referral systems.

# Concrete details to note

• Generations' offices in York and Shrewsbury remain open under Realty ONE Group Unlimited.
• Generations founders will focus on The Glenda Kane Team and continue operating Hulson Homes.
• REMAX Confluence launched with nine agents in western Montana under DJ Smith.

# Bottom line These moves reflect continued consolidation and brand affiliation activity in U.S. residential brokerage: smaller, local firms and teams are aligning with larger brokerages for technology, marketing and referral advantages while keeping some local operations and leadership continuity in place.
