United Country Real Estate Ranked Among the Top Residential Real Estate Teams in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - April 26, 2018 - PRLog -- The Kansas City Business Journal (https://www.bizjournals.com/) announced that United Country Real Estate is a top residential real estate team in the Kansas City, Mo., metro area based on closed 2017 sales. The Business Journal provides breaking business news and popular business updates from the Kansas City area and has yearly rankings in many categories, including real estate.

"Residential real estate has really been strong in the past couple of years. We specialize on homes with some land like country estates just outside of major cities. We have excellent agents, brokers and auctioneers all over the country who excel in those sales, so I'm not surprised that our numbers in residential properties reflect that growth," said Mike Duffy, president of United Country Real Estate. "Investing in a home has always been a key part of the American dream. The strong residential market we are experiencing underscores our desire to own our own piece of real estate and start building a strong foundation for our families and personal wealth (pun intended). I think home buyers see a real opportunity to invest in something real and tangible that always holds value versus renting and paying someone else's mortgage.  ."

Due to this strong market, United Country Real Estate realized significant growth in 2017, producing more than $3.2 billion dollars in sales and opening 55 more franchise offices around the country. Founded in Kansa City, Mo., in 1925, they are the leading integrated network of conventional and auction real estate professionals in the country that focuses on lifestyle and niche real estate. They are consistently included on the INC5000 list of fastest growing companies and one of the top ranked companies in franchisee satisfaction for nine years in a row from Franchise Business Review.
