Despite current market conditions, Advance moves ahead of last year’s seventh place ranking, based on the total number of agents, and continues to focus on gaining market share from such well known competitors as Long & Foster, Coldwell Banker and Prudential Carruthers.
Advance reports a company record high real estate sales volume for 2007, which continues to attract new recruits to their growing agent population. The company reports that the trend of increasing volume has continued through the first quarter of 2008. Advance attributes this increasing volume to the residential real estate market shifting in favor of a lower commission model, and to the company’s new web platform “Agent 360" and the new corporate, office and agent websites that have greatly advanced both the consumers and real estate agents internet experience. Advance also exhibits in real estate tradeshows nationwide which helps to attract new agents.
Advance Realty, known for its low 1.75% listing fee and expert full-service offering, was established in 2001 in Baltimore Maryland. Through the “List more, Sell more” system, agents are offered the most incentive-rich, income-producing program available in the trade. Now with offices in multiple states, the company offers complete real estate services and money-saving programs to real estate buyers and sellers and provides numerous agent benefits including profit sharing, integrated real estate technologies and comprehensive training.
