Trobaugh Group Realtors Is Joining Connexa Real Estate

Real estate has changed a lot over the years.

Technology has changed. Marketing has changed. Client expectations have changed. The way agents build their business has changed. The way brokerages support their agents has changed.

But some things should not change.

Ethics matter.
Clients should be protected.
Relationships still matter.
Local knowledge matters.
Doing the business the right way matters.

That shared belief is at the heart of why Trobaugh Group Realtors is joining Connexa Real Estate.

This did not start as a corporate transaction. It started with mutual respect.

Sallye Trobaugh and Brad Cohen have known each other through local transactions, professional conversations, and lunches over the years. Over time, it became clear that while they represent different generations of the business, they see the business through a very similar lens.

Sallye has built a long-standing reputation in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County real estate community. She is known for her client care, composure, experience, ethical leadership, and deep relationships. Trobaugh Group Realtors is a legacy brand that has earned trust over time.

Connexa Real Estate brings a modern brokerage platform built around marketing, technology, national network reach, transaction coordination, operational support, and a forward-thinking approach to client service.

Together, the firms are creating a stronger local brokerage.

For Trobaugh clients, this means the trusted relationships they value are now supported by a broader platform, stronger marketing, improved technology, and more operational depth.

For Connexa clients, this means deeper local experience, broader community relationships, and the added guidance of another highly respected broker. With three brokers on staff, Connexa offers a level of experience and problem-solving depth that is uncommon for a boutique firm of its size.

For agents, this is a blending of teams and values. Trobaugh agents are being welcomed into Connexa as equals, with respect for their experience, relationships, and individual strengths. Connexa agents gain the benefit of added mentorship, perspective, and collaboration.

Sallye will continue serving clients while also stepping into a supervising broker and mentorship role within Connexa. Her knowledge, judgment, and ethical approach to the business will continue to serve her clients and will now become an even broader resource for the team.

This move also reflects a larger shift in the real estate industry.

Clients expect more communication, transparency, marketing, and guidance than ever. Agents need more support, technology, and operational resources. Boutique brokerages still have a powerful place in the market, but they need infrastructure to compete and serve well.

The future of boutique brokerage is not staying small and under-resourced.

It is staying local while getting stronger.

That is what this move represents.

Trobaugh Group Realtors’ legacy will continue as part of Connexa Real Estate. Connexa becomes stronger through Sallye’s experience, the Trobaugh team’s relationships, and the trust they have built in the community.

Different generations of the business.

Same standards.

Stronger together.
