February 4,
2021 (DALLAS) – United®
Real Estate, one of the nation’s fastest-growing real estate companies, is garnering
national attention for its influence within the real estate industry and its
accomplishments. Three of United’s leaders have been named to RISMedia’s 2021 Real Estate Newsmakers list.
Dan
Duffy,
Chief Executive Officer of United Real Estate Group, has been named a “Luminary” for his vision and innovation,
leading his team to achieve tremendous growth by adding 5,700 agents and
doubling the size of the company in the past 12 months.
“We are, as an
industry, getting healthy and we can thank the predators for that. Instead of
disdain for the predators, we should welcome them and thank them for the
wake-up call and then out-run and out-maneuver them,” stated Duffy.
Rick
Haase,
President of United Real Estate, has been
named a “Trailblazer” for his role in United’s record-setting performance and
growth of its franchise and company-owned operations.
"Our aim is to
continuously improve the way real estate brokerage is done across America. We
achieve this by delivering an unparalleled business model and support services
and systems on which to execute. None of us are as smart or as strong as all of
us," said Haase. We appreciate the recognition by our industry stalwarts
while never forgetting that it is our agents, our employees and our clients who
really make our success possible," he added.
Phillip
Cantrell,
Chief Executive Officer of Benchmark Realty, a United Real Estate Company, has also been
named a “Trailblazer” for
incorporating new technology, training and support for his team. In late 2020,
Cantrell and his 1,300 affiliates joined United Real Estate in a merger.
"As leaders, our
paramount responsibility is not to rest on our laurels, but to engage in a
constant quest to understand how to integrate new technologies, new structures
and new strategies into our businesses, or we will surely face the consequences
of failing to satisfy consumer demand," said Cantrell.
In 2020, United Real
Estate received national attention for its mergers with Nashville-based Benchmark Realty
and Virtual Properties
Realty (VPR), based in Atlanta. The company also announced an ambitious initiative to
return $1 billion in transactional efficiencies to the company’s Agents and
to the economies in markets served by 2025; United gives back agent commission dollars normally retained
by traditional brokerages through its 100-percent commission, transaction-based
model.
The firm also recently announced
deployment completion of its cloud-based
Bullseye™ Agent & Brokerage Productivity Platform. This
virtual platform utilizes proprietary SEO algorithms to identify, retain and
convert business leads for its agents and brokerages. Powered by a 1.8+ million listings
data warehouse, it generates over 3 million monthly visitors to United’s
websites and 30,000 leads per year.
United Real Estate has a network of
more than 100 franchised and company-owned offices, 10,500 agents closing over
48,000 transactions and $12 billion in real estate sales annually.
