We are proud and humbled to announce that once again we have been named to the exclusive Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies by Inc. Magazine — for the third consecutive year. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to our clients, agents, and friends who made this possible. We are so grateful to you all. Thank you.
We met all the criteria required for the ranking, including increasing our annual net revenue by 59 percent between 2012 and 2015, from $10.1 million to $16.1 million. Our recognition on the the Inc. 5000 list for three years running is a testament of our consistent growth and success. Today’s luxury clients value ease, transparency and liquidity more than ever, all of which our platform delivers. Quite simply, we have pioneered the most effective method for matching buyers and sellers of the world’s finest properties.
Originally introduced as the Inc. 500 list in 1982 to acknowledge the country’s fastest-growing privately held companies, the prestigious list evolved into the Inc. 5000 list in 2007 and has become a testament to entrepreneurial success. Well-known brands such as Dell, Fitbit, LinkedIn, Pandora, Timberland, Yelp, Zillow, and many other household companies are early members of and have been honored by the Inc. 5000.
The Inc. 5000 list exclusively ranks the fastest-growing private American companies according to percentage revenue growth in a three-year period. To determine this year’s winners, 2012 and 2015 revenues were evaluated. All 5,000 honored companies are individually profiled on www.inc.com/inc5000 and will be officially recognized during the 35th Annual Inc. 5000 Conference and Gala in San Antonio, Texas in October. Speakers will include Tony Robbins, New York Times best-selling author and entrepreneur; Weili Dai, director and co-founder of Marvell Technology Group; and Adam Miller, founder, president and CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand, among others.
In addition to expanding our international footprint over the past year, with activity now in 32 U.S. states and 14 countries, we recently achieved the monumental milestone of $1 billion in historic sales; added 18 full-time employees, growing our team to 65; executed our first European auctions; and achieved record prices in multiple markets.
“Last year, we set a goal to reach the $1 billion mark in aggregate sales in 2016, and I’m proud to say that we’ve accomplished that goal and are on pace to exceed two billion in 2018,” said Chairman Chad Roffers. “Our team, powered by innovative technology such as our Instant Gavel app, continues to break barriers and deliver what the high net worth (HNW) consumer is looking for.”
Thank you to our clients, agents, and friends who have made this continual level of growth possible. Our Q3 2016 auction block is already underway with luxury real estate properties in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Italy, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
