United® Real Estate, a fast-growing urban-centric real estate and franchise operation company, today announces its CEO, Dan Duffy, has been recognized as one of the most powerful people in residential real estate for 2013 by the Swanepoel Power 200.
The Swanepoel Power 200 is the most comprehensive analysis of powerful decision makers, influencers, innovators and company thought leaders within the residential real estate industry. The ranking consists of 200 individual men and women who are viewed as key decision makers within their companies. When making their selection, the Swanepoel Power 200 editorial team created benchmarks and algorithms that took into account the individual’s personal influence, tenure in the industry, financial resources, the company’s significance and contribution to the industry, the company’s geographic reach and overall growth potential within the industry.
Dan has been selected by the Swanepoel Power 200 editorial team for his success in securing capital which has contributed to the rapid growth of United Real Estate’s disruptive business model. United’s 100 percent commission, agent-centric franchise offering is designed to develop top performing agents and features a comprehensive suite of support tools along with access to a national referral network of real estate agents. The company also offers a protected territory for the owners of a United Real Estate franchise, which allows them to have a differentiated business model and quickly grow a successful real estate company in their local market.
“It is truly an honor to be selected for the Swanepoel Power 200,” said Dan Duffy, CEO of United Real Estate. “Having been in business for less than three years, we are excited to see our brokerage model recognized by such a respected publication. United’s rapid expansion and the recognition from major industry influencers like Stefan solidifies the fact that our business model is unlike any other in residential real estate.”
Dan’s vision and brokerage strategy has also been highlighted in the 2014 Swanepoel Trends Report, the most widely recognized and trusted publication in real estate business and technology trends. In the recent article, Dan shares his insight into the importance of change, innovation and the major characteristics of a successful real estate brokerage model. “We all resist continual, disruptive innovation at our own peril,” said Dan. “History is littered with business models in every market segment that waited too long to change. External conditions for innovation left unaddressed allow curious, innovation companies to enter incumbent’s markets and cause significant business disruption at best and many times outright collapse.”
