I\u2019m happy to report that we were the top ranked real estate company in the midsize business category and we ranked No. 3 overall in the midsize business category, regardless of industry type,\u201d reported Chief Operating Officer and Partner of Realty Executives Integrity, Dana Keegan.<\/p>\n<p>Realty Executives Integrity also received national recognition in both the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/realtrends.com\/rankings\/real-trends-500-by-sides17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 2017 REAL Trends 500<\/a> as well as the <a href=\"http:\/\/rismedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/April17_PB_Story__Chart.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RISMedia\u2019s 29th Power Broker Report <\/a>for the fifth year in a row.

The leadership team\u2019s people-centric approach and focus on building a strong company culture has made a tremendous impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/reintegrity\/photos\/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1675960689088235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sales productivity<\/a>, and in turn, the company\u2019s efforts to give back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery decision we make stems from one simple question \u2018will this best serve our people?\u2019\u201d Keegan explains. \u00a0\u201cWe strongly encourage our Executives to make a difference in the communities they serve to ensure their footprint extends past the closing table. Our foundation is based on four pillars: independence, profitability, support and culture. On a leadership level, we work diligently to keep each of those areas strong and that attracts the right individuals,\u201d Keegan concludes.<\/p>\n<p>The firm actively supports five charitable organizations: <a href=\"http:\/\/milwaukeehabitat.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Habitat for Humanity<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.treesofhopewi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lindsey\u2019s Voice<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/unite4peyton.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unite4Peyton<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jrspupsnstuff.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JR\u2019s Pups-n-Stuff<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopestreetministry.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hope Street Ministries<\/a>. Each organization connects personally with a member of the company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made it easy for our Executives to support these charities by allowing them to make donations directly from their closing checks. Outside of financial contributions, our leadership team and Executives donate their time and energy to work events associated with these charities as well,\u201d Keegan said.<\/p>\n<p>Realty Executives Integrity\u2019s office culture has been widely recognized amongst the Realty Executives International network on more than one occasion.
