Dan joined United in 2006 to secure growth capital to support growth and repositioning of the United system.

The transcript below has been lightly edited for length and clarity:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tracey Velt:<\/strong>\u00a0I wanted to talk to you first about some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/united-real-estate-merges-with-benchmark-realty-announces-goal-of-creating-1-billion-in-transaction-efficiencies-by-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">M&amp;A<\/a> work that United Real Estate Group has been doing and your growth strategy. You&#8217;ve obviously jumped pretty high in the rankings, and you&#8217;ve had some key acquisitions with Benchmark in Nashville and Virtual Properties in Atlanta. So, tell me about your strategy going forward. Will you continue with M&amp;A or are you looking to transition to more of an organic growth strategy or still combine the two like you&#8217;ve been doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dan Duffy:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, it&#8217;s definitely a combination strategy. I think that every time you have an opportunity to welcome an incredible operator to the team like we did with Benchmark and VPR, you&#8217;re creating the network effect. So, you have a bigger system on which to grow organically. So, we&#8217;re equally focused. If there was organic growth printed on one wall in my office and then mergers and acquisition, or tuck-ins on the other, I&#8217;m equally positioned to see both walls, and so is the rest of the team, including our offices. I think that having a two-pronged strategy for growth allows you not to be overly dependent on either one. Our organic growth is strong, north of 20%, and that&#8217;s solid organic growth \u2014 agent count, transaction count. But equally important, we see opportunities with entrepreneurs that have done amazing things in their geographic area, where we don&#8217;t have a presence and they have similar models to ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>REAL Trending features the brightest minds in real estate.
