Pacific Union International Real Estate Ranked Fifth-Largest Brokerage in the U.S. With 2017 Sales Volume of $14.1 Billion

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As California's powerful economic engine continues to ignite global markets, San Francisco-based Pacific Union International's similarly aggressive growth today earned a new national ranking for the brokerage of fifth-largest in the U.S. for sales volume from real estate industry media organizations REAL Trends and RIS Media. Pacific Union, California's leading independent real estate brokerage reported 2017 sales volume of $14.1 billion, a 39.3 percent increase over its 2016 results.

The 2017 results demonstrate Pacific Union's continued steady climb in the national rankings since the firm first appeared in the top 10 in 2015, when it ranked ninth for sales volume. Led by CEO Mark A. McLaughlin, the brokerage set out on a path of rapid expansion into Southern California, merging multiple firms into one high-performance brokerage.

"Nearly nine years ago we had a vision of returning Pacific Union to its home -- back to the roots of its founders," McLaughlin says. "We are entrepreneurs and risk-takers with a people-first, results-based culture. The talented people we have attracted to our organization are reflective of that same vision and spirit. Each one of us feels a passion for our cause, and we are proud of our accomplishments. We do not seek these acknowledgments, we simply strive to outperform the expectations of our clients."

With 1,700 real estate professionals in more than 50 offices across Northern and Southern California's most active real estate markets, Pacific Union continues to deliver on its promise to be the ultimate California real estate company.
