One Arkansas Real Estate Firm, Limbird Real Estate Group, Makes Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000 list

ROGERS, Ark. - Sept. 8, 2017 - PRLog -- The Inc. 5000 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, Domino's Pizza, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on Inc. 5000.

The 2017 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 average company on the Inc. 5000 list grew by sixfold in the three-year sales growth assessment time period. By comparison, the economy grew by 6.7 percent.

So, this sustained increase, like the 402 percent three-year sales growth accomplished by Limbird Real Estate Group in the competitive Northwest Arkansas real estate market, was a major achievement. It is the first time Limbird Real Estate Group has been named to the annual Inc. 5000 list for fastest-growing private companies.

"We couldn't believe it when we were notified," explains Principal Broker and Owner Tara Limbird. "And then, when we were told we nearly cracked the top 1000 on the list and we're one of the top five companies representing our great state of Arkansas—well we couldn't wait to share the news with our team of 28 agents and employees! After all, their loyalty and hard work were a large part of the reason we were on the Inc. 5000 in the first place."

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.

One of only 196 real estate-related firms in America to earn a spot on the list (and dozens of these were actually home builders, not residential real estate companies), Limbird Real Estate Group was the only real estate firm in Arkansas to make the 2017b Inc. 5000 list.

The Inc. 5000 honor comes just weeks after the Limbird Team was named the No. 45 top sales team in the nation for most closed annual sales transactions on The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals list. The national awards ranking is sponsored annually by REAL Trends and advertised in The Wall Street Journal. It's based on 2016 sales production.

Nick and Tara Limbird are also the only Arkansas agents to be endorsed by Barbara Corcoran, the real estate mogul frequently seen on ABC's Shark Tank. Visit http://www.LimbirdTeam.com to see the 30-second testimonial. Contact Limbird Real Estate Group at 855-755-SOLD.
