About Spark & Logic

Helping real estate companies ignite their sales meetings.

A framework for success.

The most profitable real estate companies consistently educate and engage their agents. Using in-house staff to do this effectively is not always feasible or realistic. We created Spark & Logic to build a framework for your company learning culture and help you provide superior sales meetings.

Easy

It does not matter how great a program’s content is if it is not easy to implement. User-friendly, relevant resources are a Spark & Logic priority.

Effective

So often, we learn great things only to fail at putting them into practice. Our goal is not only to inspire and educate but enable practical application.

Affordable

Every dollar counts when you run a small business. We strive to ensure the value of our service outshines the cost.

Mission Statement & Values

Spark & Logic helps real estate companies create learning cultures that attract loyal agents who service happy clients.

Customer Commitment

We are invested in relationships and our members' success.

Teamwork

We believe everyone benefits when we lift each other up.

Quality

We do innovative work that makes our friends and families proud.

Passion

We work tirelessly to ensure we exist where our skills, needs, and interests intersect.

Meet the team.

We have a lifetime of real estate industry experience, the perfect blend of skills, and an aligned vision. For over a decade, our friendship and mutual respect grew as we collaborated on learning events and celebrations for a major real estate brand. Spark & Logic became our dream. We always said, “we should…” 2020 made it easy to say, “let’s go for it!”

Danielle Fogel grew up in Grand Haven, a picturesque beach town on the shore of Lake Michigan. While most teenagers were earning spending money scooping ice cream or selling t-shirts, Danielle was painting gold posts and installing for sale signs for the local CENTURY 21 office, her father’s business. The entire family chipped in, and at a young age, she learned firsthand the delicate balancing act between work and life in the real estate industry.

After pursuing a degree in Natural Resources and the Environment from the University of Michigan, Danielle worked in nonprofit communications, where she honed her ability to use written words and visuals to inspire action.

An entrepreneur at heart, Danielle tapped into her uncanny ability to harness the power of the moment and started Clever Bird Events. She helps businesses and nonprofits inspire, engage, and elevate their constituents. For nearly two decades, Century 21 has contracted Danielle to plan large-scale regional events and facilitate the association for franchise brokerages.

Danielle met her partner, Laurie Popp, while planning Century 21’s events. The two instantly found that they are better together. Laurie’s extensive real estate knowledge is the yin to Danielle’s creative yang. Their common ground is their sincere desire to help real estate company owners succeed. Together they identified where they could help most and created Spark & Logic.

Danielle is happiest when exploring the outdoors with her husband and two sons. She loves living in Spring Lake, Michigan, where a dip in Lake Michigan or a stroll along the beach is always an option. Danielle has an adventurous spirit and enjoys traveling, experiencing different cultures, and marveling at the world’s beauty.

As a former executive Vice President with Century 21 Real Estate, Laurie saw the need for a company to provide white-label content designed specifically for real estate owners. Knowing that an owner’s time is in high demand, she knew outsourcing agent training and sales meeting content would be essential for companies who wanted high-quality interactions with their agents. Laurie partnered with a colleague with the same passion and is excited to offer high-end agent training and tangible marketing for successful company growth.
