(Dallas, TX) – United® Real Estate, a rapidly expanding real estate and franchise organization, announced the winner of the Leadership Excellence award for 2016. The Leadership Excellence award highlights the top franchise office that has demonstrated a commitment to implement and embrace the United system, leadership and the company’s values and guiding principles to lead their agents in growing their businesses successfully. The 2016 Leadership Excellence award winner was announced at United’s annual real estate convention in Austin, Texas.
This prestigious award was presented to John and Jeff Finn, owners of United Real Estate | Richmond, on March 4, 2017. When United Real Estate | Richmond joined the United Network in February of 2015, they had one agent. By the end of 2016, the office had accomplished exponential growth of their agent count and experienced sales production of over $63 million. In less than two years, John and Jeff Finn were able to grow their business to the eighth largest firm in the Central Virginia Regional MLS with 85 agents.
Upon receiving the Leadership Excellence award, John Finn said, “It is an extreme honor and quite humbling to be recognized for this award. We, at United Real Estate | Richmond, are determined to operate our office in a manner that will produce the ultimate success for our agents. My brother and I were unaware we were to be recognized by the leadership team, our colleagues and our agents. We are ecstatic to have earned this award and look forward to continuing our leadership model and helping our agents accelerate their business for years to come.”
United Real Estate is an agent-centric model backed by a 100-percent commission strategy with industry-leading technology, marketing and training combined with full brokerage support.

The passion and demeanor with which John and Jeff run their company and treat their agents is an impeccable model for our other offices to observe and follow.”
