The achievement is Boston West\u2019s first recognition on the list since opening its doors in 2005.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really surprised,\u201d Marks said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what the sales revenue cutoff was\u00a0 so when I saw it I was really surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Swanepoel top 1000<\/a> list is created annually by the staff at T3 Sixty, the leader in analysis of annual trends and industry leaders.<\/p>\n

Each year, T3 Sixty compiles information from approximately 2,500 of the largest brokerages, franchisors and holding companies in the United States. This information is then analyzed to create the comprehensive report.<\/p>\n

In total, Stefan Swanepoel, a leading visionary of real estate trends, and his team at T3 Sixty invest approximately 1,100 hours into creating the list.<\/p>\n

Realty Executives International president, Patrick van den Bossche, takes pride in Boston West\u2019s inaugural showing on the prestigious list.<\/p>\n

\u201cRealty Executives Boston West being named to the 2018 Swanepoel Mega 1000 is a benchmark of achievement by Alan Marks and his team and their commitment to providing the best professionals to service the industry,\u201d van den Bossche said.<\/p>\n

Marks said Boston West\u2019s growth is credited to a new focus on marketing and high-performing Executives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put a big emphasis on marketing support and concierge level service,\u201d the Boston West president said. \u201cWe have a boutique feel with the power of the Realty Executives brand behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marks\u2019 new focus on marketing the company brand began in 2016 when he brought in Erica Wallace and her team of marketing professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first year (working with Wallace), maybe a little over a year, was all about stabilization of the marketing service and making sure all of the current Executives were taken care of and then enhance,\u201d he said. \u201cThe mantra was stabilize then enhance and now we\u2019re in the enhance stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

This enhancement stage has lead to Boston West opening it\u2019s fifth location in Wellesley, Massachusetts, later this month.<\/p>\n

Marks believes the company growth and finding a spot on the list for the first time is a testament to the hard work of his real estate professionals.<\/p>\n

Kathy Foran, Craig Morrison, and Kathy Chisholm rank amongst the top three executives at Boston West and played a large role in its success this year, each bringing in over $25 million in sales.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe best part of being an Executive at Boston West is the knowledge that I\u2019m in the company of the seasoned, top professionals in my market area,\u201d Chisholm said. \u201cI am supported by the most incredibly talented marketing and administrative teams in the business. \u00a0In my 5 years since joining Boston West, my business has grown to a new, higher level, which I\u2019d never attained at my former brokerage. \u00a0The environment is a very positive one, and very supportive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Despite this huge accomplishment for Realty Executives Boston West, Marks has his eyes set on the future and believes this success can be perennial.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it (the Swanepoel Mega 1000 list) is great validation,\u201d Marks said. \u201cIt is an accomplishment to be named one of the top 1,000 brokerages in the country. That\u2019s great but I feel like it\u2019s all about bringing our business model to more agents and growing the brokerage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston West is currently home to 80 real estate professionals. Marks wants this number to grow to 100, however, he is more committed to the quality of his Executives rather than the quantity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want engaged professionals with a great reputation in their local community who stay on top of trends in the industry and serve their clients at a very high level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to grow and climb on that list, Marks said. \u201cThe validation is secondary to us. It\u2019s great and I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll help us get some recognition in our local market place but, it\u2019s more about getting to 100 great quality Executives, growing the brand, and leveraging Realty Executives\u2019 tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston West was one of nine Realty Executive branches named to this year\u2019s Swanepoel top 1,000 list.<\/p>\n
