Residential Properties Ltd. is excited to announce that for the 12th year in a row, RPL has earned inclusion as a member of the REAL Trends 500 ‒ an independently verified list of the top 500 most successful real estate companies in the entire nation. With 1,185 transaction sides, Residential Properties was also ranked in the Top 150 Independent brokerages in the country.
“It is an honor to be included in this elite group of the very best real estate companies in the country,” RPL President and CEO Sally Lapides said. “We are proud of our extraordinary leadership and management teams across Residential Properties, who always pivot and adapt to changes in the market. Last year was marked by higher interest rates and lower inventory, with many sellers who either refinanced or bought houses during the pandemic unready to sell or unwilling to give up their low interest rates. RPL agents, however, are able to remain confident and thrive because of our supportive environment, which is the key to remaining agile.
Ongoing training, marketing, professional networks, and other interwoven services help keep our agents feeling prepared and ready to meet client needs. Because we’re independent, we can change course to navigate market trends without the institutional inertia that can weigh down franchise real estate companies. Rhode Island is a unique, highly localized market. Our advantage is that we are Rhode Island natives, who are entrenched in the community and understand local nuances while also having national recognition and an international reach. As a woman-owned, family-run company, we have always cared deeply about people. The security which homeownership provides is an important part of how we strengthen our communities.”
