Inc. Magazine Names Nest Realty to 2013 Top 5000 List of Fasting-Growing Private American Companies
Charlottesville, VA (PRWEB) August 21, 2013 -- Nest Realty, a full-service, boutique real estate brokerage throughout Virginia, today announced that Inc. Magazine has recognized it as #884 on the magazine’s annual 500|5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in the country. Nest prides itself on being a “different breed of brokerage,” and the company’s investment in quality brokers and innovative practices has set it apart from other firms during its past five years in the often-challenging real estate market.
Key highlights from the 2013 Inc. 5000 list:
• Nest Realty achieved 504% growth during the last three years and $4.1 million in revenues in 2012 to qualify for the list
• Nest Realty ranks as the #5 fastest-growing real estate brokerage nationwide
• Within Charlottesville, Nest is the second fastest growing company
• Among all Virginia companies, Nest ranks #44 on the overall Inc. 2013 list
• The 2013 list was the most competitive in history, with the median company on the list increasing by 140% since 2010
This distinction now places Nest Realty among a myriad of notable brands including Microsoft, Zappos, and Chobani that Inc. has recognized for their passion and commitment to hard work.
This recognition follows Nest’s achievement of number one market share in the Virginia market areas of Charlottesville and Albemarle. In addition, this news comes on the heels of a nomination for Nest Realty’s “Live Where You Love” video series for Digital Strategy by Inman News, an industry-leading source for all things real estate. The company also recently announced the opening of its fourth Virginia location in Fredericksburg.
