“The Real Estate Market in the Northeast continues to stabilize and shows many signs of positive growth in the years to come,” said Michael Bean, President and CEO of Bean Group. The Massachusetts launch follows a recent and successful expansion into the Maine and Vermont real estate markets after a 7 year period where the Bean Group grew to be the largest independent real estate firm in New Hampshire.

Studies show that 90% of customers start their home search online, so Bean Group’s powerful and intuitive award winning website, www.beangroup.com, should make quick inroads with home shoppers in Massachusetts.

“In a market where many real estate brokerages continue to reduce services to customers and agents, Bean Group continues to expand its coverage and services. With 238 agents and growing, Bean Group continues to be the destination of choice for real estate professionals looking to expand their career trajectory” said Paul Ringuette, Bean Group’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

The Real Trends 500 annually identifies the 500 largest real estate brokerages in the US.  Bean Group was named to the 2010 Real Trends 500 largest firms, ranked both by closed transactions and by closed sales volume.

This is a wonderful milestone for Bean Group to achieve, particularly given the fact that we reached this in our 6th year in business. Our business model, which is unique within the real estate brokerage industry, is ideally suited to today’s real estate environment.

Since founding the company in December 2003 Bean Group has grown to eight offices with more than 225 agents and employees, and we are recognized as the largest independent brokerage in New Hampshire. It is worthwhile to note that much of the growth of the company has occurred during the challenging real estate market of the last two years.

We have a wonderful team of talented agents and employees, a great business model, and an incredibly useful, one stop real estate website that puts our sellers right in front of today’s buyer. We look forward to continued expansion and success throughout New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
