@properties Climbs To No. 21 In REAL Trends 500 Report

@properties has moved up the list of the nation’s largest real estate brokers once again, ranking 21st in the annual REAL Trends 500 Report, based on 2012 closed sales volume.

@properties is the No. 1 real estate broker in the city of Chicago. The firm had sales of $3.2 billion in 2012, its highest volume in company history. The company jumped nine spots overall from last year’s Real Trend’s report.

Now in its 14th year in business, @properties has more than 1,100 real estate brokers and 11 offices in the Chicagoland area. In February, the firm expanded to Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana with the opening of its Harbor Country real estate office in New Buffalo, Mich. The firm also recently announced that it will open an office in Glenview this summer.

“We continued to open new offices, recruit top-producing brokers, and invest in new marketing, technology and training programs,” said @properties co-founder Thaddeus Wong. “That put us in a really good position to outperform the market once things began to turn around.”

“2012 was a record year for @properties, and we’re on track to post even higher sales figures in 2013,” added @properties co-founder Michael Golden.
