Corporate Overview
About Birch & Co. Brokerage
Birch & Co. Brokerage is a modern real estate brokerage built around one simple idea: when agents have better technology, stronger systems, and the right support behind them, they can deliver a better experience for their clients.
Whether you're buying your first home, selling a property, or navigating a complex real estate transaction, Birch is designed to give you the personal service of a dedicated real estate professional backed by modern infrastructure.
Our Story
Birch & Co. Brokerage wasn't created in a boardroom. It was built from experience.
Founder and Principal Broker Odney Joseph knows what it means to start with very little. After immigrating to the United States from Haiti as a teenager, he learned English through evening ESOL classes, earned his GED, later completed his education, and spent years building businesses while teaching himself software development and real estate.
That journey shaped a simple belief: Technology should remove barriers, not create them.
After working in real estate and seeing how many agents were forced to juggle disconnected software, unnecessary overhead, and outdated brokerage models, he decided to build something different. Birch & Co. Brokerage was created around one central idea: Give agents the technology, structure, and support they need without the complexity they don't.
Today, Birch operates as a cloud-based brokerage powered by technology built in-house, designed specifically to simplify transactions, improve efficiency, and allow agents to focus on what matters most: serving people.
Our Mission
"To empower real estate professionals through technology, structure, and operational excellence, creating an environment where agents can focus on relationships, negotiations, and exceptional client service while our systems handle the complexity behind the scenes."
Why "Birch"
The birch tree is known for resilience, adaptability, and steady growth. Those values reflect the kind of brokerage we strive to build.
Strong systems.
Long-term thinking.
Continuous growth.
Careers that last.
The Birch Client Experience
Better Technology Means Better Support
Better technology isn't about replacing the human side of real estate. It's about giving the people behind the transaction better tools to serve you. When you work with a Birch agent, you're working with a real estate professional supported by a connected brokerage infrastructure designed to help them stay organized, responsive, informed, and focused on you.
For Buyers
Buying a home involves more than finding the right property. Your Birch agent can help you navigate the process from initial search and property tours through offers, negotiations, contracts, inspections, and closing, while the technology behind them helps keep your communication, appointments, documents, and transaction details connected.
The result is a more organized experience where your agent can spend less time managing disconnected processes and more time helping you make informed decisions.
For Sellers
Selling a home requires strategy, communication, marketing, and attention to hundreds of details. Birch agents are supported by tools that help them manage your listing, coordinate marketing, communicate with you, track activity, manage documents, and keep the transaction moving from listing to closing.
From the listing presentation to the open house, from offers to the transaction and ultimately the closing table, our technology is designed to keep the journey connected, while your agent remains the person guiding you through it.
One Agent. One Connected Experience.
Your agent is still the person you call. They're still the one sitting across the table from you, answering your questions, negotiating on your behalf, and helping you make important decisions. Birch simply gives them more infrastructure behind the scenes.
Client portals. Transaction management. Intelligent workflows. Communication tools. Scheduling. Compliance systems. Marketing technology. Business intelligence. All connected.
So your agent can spend more time doing what technology cannot: Listening. Advising. Negotiating. Communicating. Building trust.
Executive Leadership
Meet the Founder
Odney Joseph
Principal Broker & Founder
Florida Broker License: BK3544553
Odney Joseph is a licensed Florida real estate broker, entrepreneur, software engineer, and business builder.
Rather than relying on third-party platforms to operate his brokerage, he designed and developed Birch's internal technology ecosystem himself, creating tools for transaction management, client relationships, operational workflows, automation, and brokerage administration.
His unique combination of real estate experience and software development allows Birch & Co. to continually improve its technology based on the real needs of agents, not generic software built for everyone.
“Technology should never replace the relationship between an agent and a client. It should remove distractions so agents can spend more time building trust, creating value, and serving people.”
Our Core Values

We do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Trust is earned through transparency, accountability, and putting clients first.

Technology With a Purpose
Technology is part of Birch's identity, but it is not the reason we exist. We build technology because real estate is too important to be held together by disconnected systems and unnecessary complexity.
Our goal is simple: give our agents the infrastructure to provide a more organized, responsive, transparent, and connected experience for their clients.
"Technology should never replace the relationship between an agent and a client. It should make that relationship stronger."
Operating Culture & Ecosystem
Birch & Co. operates a cloud-based brokerage model designed to reduce administrative friction and increase agent productivity. Our structure is built around scalable agent frameworks that support different levels of production and team organization.
We maintain efficient transaction workflows designed to support speed, accuracy, and compliance throughout the closing process. All operations follow strict adherence to Florida real estate regulations and fair housing standards.
Birch & Co. Brokerage was built by someone who understands what it's like to start with nothing and believes every real estate professional deserves systems that help them build something meaningful.
The Birch Difference
A modern brokerage shouldn't make real estate feel more complicated. It should make the people involved feel more supported. That is what we're building at Birch & Co. Brokerage.
One connected experience, from the first conversation to the closing table.
