Village Unique Properties
village being a trendy word for wealthy suburbs.
unique for your purple cow ideas.
the words are unrelated, and make it sound like it could be the result of a merger, making it seem like you have more experience.
or village unique realty might be better.

What exactly will this company be doing? Based on what you wrote it sounds like a typical residential brokerage company that has a side mortgage business. But then you added property management and commercial, which are both aimed at very different markets from the residential side of the business.

I currently own a commercial real estate brokagege company that specializes in tenant representation of small (under 10,000 sf) tenants (yes this sounds like a very small market niche but most companies have under 25 employees and are not pusued or served by the large multinational firms). So I picked a name that tells people excactly what I do "Tenant Advisors". You would be amazed how many calls/hits I get based just on the fact that my name tells people exactly what I do. As a test try standing a street corner and ask 1,000 people to name a commercial real estate firm - I would bet maybe 10 people could name one of the top 5 firms. So when small companies in my area search for a firm they have no idea who Cushman and Wakefield are or that CB/Richard Ellis is not he same company as Grubb & Ellis.

Think about what keywords an uninformed typical potential customer would use to search on google and use those words in your name. If you were looking for a property mangement firm and opened the yellow pages would you call "Johnson and Associates Property Management" or "Property Management Solutions"?

I would suggest that you form seprate companies to work within each type of business specialty. Form a residential brokerage, a property mangement company, a mortgage company and a commercial brokerage. Then pick names that work for each industry specific company. If you pick one name that tries to encompass all these business niches you will not have a specific name that will help a potential client to pick up the phone or click on your PPC adv.

My ideas

Kramerica Investments
Kramerica Financial
Brown Trout Property (very purple cowish name)
All County Properties (along with the obvious tag line)
"We keep you from getting sacked for a loss"

(Sup Bro Investments just doesn't inpsire much confidence)

PS Whatever you pick can you make sure you post the name somewhere. I am a licensed Realtor in San Jose and would like to keep aware in case my current boss sleeps with my wife or something.

Maybe that is what I really meant DrNo, but it sounds sooooo much less sleazy the way I asked it.........
