Atlanta Communities Real Estate Named to Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 for Fastest-Growing US Companies

ATLANTA - Sept. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- The Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Zillow, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on Inc. 5000.

This marks the third consecutive year that independent real estate brokerage Atlanta Communities has earned a place on this list and the firm is one of only 190 real estate related companies on the list. Over the last three years, the firm has experienced a 109 % growth rate. Atlanta Communities (http://www.AtlantaCommunities.net) surpassed the $1 billion sales mark for the first time in 2014 and has not looked back, posting $1.36 billion in sales last year.

Five months earlier, the company was again honored to make the Real Trends 500 list, a national list compiled exclusively by annual real estate sales. The firm placed No. 81 for transactions with its 6,208 transactions in 2015. This represented nearly a 24 percent increase in closings, year-over-year. And, about a month ago, Atlanta Communities CEO and Founder Judson Adamson was named to Atlanta Business Chronicle's Top 100 Most Influential People in Real Estate for metro Atlanta.

"The metro Atlanta real estate market has been quite active the last couple years and we are seeing listings go under contract very quickly," noted Judson Adamson. "In addition, new construction is ramping up in the area, which is an additional indicator of just how much our real estate market has recovered and is now expanding."

The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."

Atlanta Communities is a residential real estate brokerage that assists home buyers and sellers primarily in the north metro Atlanta region. For more information or to conduct a property search of the metro Atlanta real estate market, visit www.AtlantaCommunities.net or call 770-240-2001.

Formed by Judson Adamson in 2009, Atlanta Communities Real Estate Brokerage has been named one of Atlanta's top 100 fastest-growing private companies for three consecutive years. It is also the youngest real estate firm to make the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Top 10 Residential Real Estate Organizations list. With more than 825 agents and five locations, Atlanta Communities increased its total volume in 2015 by 32 percent, reaching over $1.3 billion in annual gross sales.
