AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Realty Austin ranks 6th as one of Austin's fastest growing companies. The company received the ranking at The Austin Business Journal's annual awards ceremony held last night at the AT&T Executive Education & Conference Center. Companies eligible to win this year were nominated based on compounded annual average sales growth for three years.

Jonathan Boatwright, co-owner of Realty Austin said, "The keys to our growth are building the right tools, systems, compensation plans and culture to attract and retain the best and brightest agents in Austin. The combination of the best technology and the best agents is the true secret to our success. Our agents are second to none, and we are proud of the fact we have been able to more than double the average amount each agent earns even as we increased the size of our team."

Over the three year period 2009-2011, Realty Austin's growth rate was 93.3%. Out of the 25 finalists with $10 million or greater net revenue, Realty Austin ranked 6th in the high profile category.

"We literally threw out the rule book for creating a real estate brokerage and built our business like a high tech sales and marketing organization. Our company is charting the course for how real estate brokerage will be done in the future," Boatwright continued.

This year marks the first time Realty Austin has been a nominee for the Austin Business Journal's Fast 50.
