United Real Estate Is the Third Fastest-Growing Agency in America

United's low-fee model attracted agents and consumers despite nationwide decline in real estate sales

DALLAS, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United^® Real Estate (United) grew faster than nearly all U.S. real estate companies within the past five years, as revealed by the 2024 RealTrends Verified ranking. And this is the fourth consecutive year it ranked among the top 10 of the 500 largest real estate companies in America.

Landing at No. 3 in the Five-Year Top Mover ranking by sales volume and transactions, United Real Estate and its affiliated brokerages experienced a surge in sales between 2019 and 2023. The network's five-year growth was in excess of 725%, with an increase of $14.96 billion in volume and 36,279 transactions. Driving United's steep growth curve during the period were organic growth, franchise expansion and merger activity.

In contrast to others on the Five-Year Top Mover list whose growth slowed appreciably in 2023, and despite the nationwide decline in real estate agents, United grew its agent count 13% year over year, welcoming more agents to its network than almost every competitor. Notably, as announced in March, Premiere Plus Realty and its 1,500 agents joined United, becoming one of the largest brokerages ever to affiliate with another real estate company. United's growth is featured in "Learning from a New Generation of Brokerages," published in March 2024 by real estate strategist and author Mike DelPrete.

"You would have to be literally living under a rock to be unaware of the once-in-a-lifetime, intense changes that have been happening in the U.S. real estate market. Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to work with companies and within sectors that span pretty much all of the U.S. economy, from technology, consumer products, financial services, automotive, energy exploration and production to core agriculture (yes, pig farming). I have never observed, in any window of time or sector, as much change affected upon a sector of our economy. There are fierce internal and external competitive pressures, massive changes in technology, a volatile regulatory environment and capital market upheaval," said Dan Duffy United Real Estate Group Chief Executive Officer. "Our continued growth and market share capture is a testament to the professionalism of each and every one of our affiliated agents, brokers, auctioneers and the exceptional dedicated team that delivers our value proposition daily.  Paradoxically, we believe that we have just begun to hit our stride, and the best is before us," added Duffy.

"All the credit for our growth continues to go to our agents, employees and the hundreds of thousands of loyal clients we serve. We know that we have the proper business model, but our success happens with the passionate execution of hundreds of employees and thousands of agents. They continuously bring the company's values to market each day, and the exciting part is we are increasing our velocity of growth," noted United Real Estate President Rick Haase.

Other brokerages under United's umbrella include Charles Rutenberg Realty Fort Lauderdale, Pearson Smith Realty, Leading Edge Real Estate Group, Platinum Realty, Virtual Properties Realty, Benchmark Realty and Texas United Realty.
