Pacific Union International Delivers Aggressive Q1 Results With Sales Volume Growth Topping 42 Percent
John Aaroe Group Posts Highest First-Quarter Sales in Company History
SAN FRANCISCO, May 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With 2016 sales volume of $10.15 billion, Pacific Union International, Inc. continued its climb in 2017, posting sales volume growth of 42.1 percent for year to date April 2017 and units sold growth of 27.5 percent over the same period in 2016. This remarkable momentum was propelled by historic sales from John Aaroe Group, Pacific Union's Southern California brand. With recent new developments and business wins from The Mark Company, Pacific Union now projects its 2017 sales volume to exceed $13 billion, which would make it the largest independent residential real estate firm in California.
On the heels of its December 2016 merger with Pacific Union, Los Angeles-based luxury brokerage John Aaroe Group reported seven significant closings over $10 million in the first quarter, including the Danny Thomas Estate ($65 million, the second highest in the history of Beverly Hills), an estate in Holmby Hills ($40 million), and the highest reported sale in the history of Malibu's famed Carbon Beach ($48 million). These remarkable sales results exceed any first quarter in the firm's history.
John Aaroe Group's year to date performance in Southern California combined with Pacific Union's and The Mark Company's results in Northern California produced a 27.5 percent gain in the number of units sold year over year, while the average sales price increased by more than 11 percent.
"The spectacular leadership displayed by John Aaroe and his extraordinary team is setting the pace for the entire organization," Pacific Union CEO Mark A. McLaughlin says. "We are thrilled to enjoy synergies with John's amazing team, and we firmly believe that we have created the ultimate California real estate company."
The Mark Company, Pacific Union's sales and marketing firm for new urban residential developments, launched the first quarter by announcing an exclusive new contract to drive sales and marketing for the highly anticipated Oceanwide Plaza residences near downtown Los Angeles' Staples Center and L.A. LIVE. The three-tower project includes 504 ultra-luxury condominiums and boasts one of the country's most luxurious urban rooftop parks.
To enhance direct international exposure, on Jan. 1, 2017, Pacific Union and John Aaroe Group dramatically increased investments in global digital advertising campaigns in Brazil, India, China, and the U.K. The first-quarter campaign results delivered more than 60 million global impressions and 245,000 international unique site visits to http://www.pacificunion.com/. The dynamic campaign exceeds past initiatives or exposure created for Pacific Union through its affiliation with Christies International Real Estate.
On March 31, The San Francisco-based brokerage earned industry accolades as the eighth-largest residential real estate firm in the U.S. by industry publications RisMedia and REAL Trends.
