Some 68 fast growing real estate brokerage firms, teams and alternative models made the list. The average three-year revenue growth rate for ranked real estate firms was 311%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>At the top of the real estate\/alternative model category, at No. 56, was <strong>Big Block Realty<\/strong>, which ranked No. 160 by sides and No. 91 by volume in the<a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/brokerage-rankings\/\"> RealTrends 500 (RT500)<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/bigblockrealty.com\/\">Big Block<\/a> is a 100% commission model based in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>United Real Estate Group<\/strong>, which is ranked No. 10 by sides and No. 16 by volume in the RT500 rankings, ranked No. 1,055 on the Inc. rankings. The low-fee brokerage, which built its own end-to-end tech platform, attributes a portion of their growth to two strategic acquisitions in the Nashville and Atlanta markets. &#8220;Our tech platform, called Bullseye, is an end-to-end agent and broker productivity platform. It&#8217;s also entirely cloud-based,&#8221; said<a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/dan-duffy-ceo-united-real-estate-group-growth-core-services\/\"> Dan Duffy,<\/a> CEO of United Real Estate Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How did Big Block, which ranked lower than United, end up ranking higher on the Inc. 5000?
