@properties Named To Inc. 5000 List For Tenth Time
CHICAGO (PRWEB) August 19, 2016 -- Chicago-based @properties, the largest independent real estate brokerage firm in Illinois, has been named to Inc. magazine’s 35th annual Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies once again. This marks the tenth time in the past eleven years that @properties has appeared on the list.
@properties landed at No. 2569 based on a three-year revenue growth of 138 percent. With annual revenue of $200.2 million, @properties had the highest revenue of Illinois-based residential real estate brokerage firms on the list. The firm is the only real estate brokerage to make the list 10 times.
Established in 2000 by Thaddeus Wong and Michael Golden, @properties has grown from a four-person real estate company to one of the top 11 brokerages in the United States by sales volume. The company is the No. 1 real estate brokerage firm in the city of Chicago by a sizable margin, with over 20 percent market share year to date, and is the second largest brokerage firm on Chicago’s North Shore. @properties also has offices in New Buffalo and St. Joseph, Mich., and in Lake Geneva, Wisc. In 2015, the firm closed a record $7.4 billion in sales.
Besides attracting new brokers (the firm recently welcomed its 2000th licensed real estate agent), @properties’ continual growth has been driven by innovation. Within the last few years, the firm has invested in or partnered with a number of local tech startups, including TurboAppeal, PointDrive and Yapmo, which offer products and services that enhance the real estate experience for brokers and clients. Recently, @properties also unveiled a new consumer app and plans to launch a redesigned website in the coming months.
“2015 was a great year for @properties,” said Wong. “We posted our highest sales volume in company history, and also introduced a number of new technologies and marketing initiatives. We are excited about making the Inc. 5000 list for the tenth time, but in many ways, we also feel like we are just getting started.”
“While we have grown rapidly, we have been committed to remaining independent since Day One. We’re proud to be recognized among such an impressive list of private companies, and grateful for the hard work our team puts in every day,” added Golden.
According to Inc., the 2016 Inc. 5000 class is the most competitive in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, generating 640,000 jobs over the past three years.
