PORTSMOUTH — When Michael Bean founded his real estate firm in 2003, he created a new business model: Attract top agents by leveraging technology connecting buyers and sellers.
"Rather than open a 3,000-square-foot office, we invested in talented people and in the Internet," said Bean, president and chief executive officer of the Bean Group in Portsmouth.
