The annual Bulldog 100 list is made up of the fastest-growing businesses owned or operated by UGA alumni and is measured by compounded annual growth over the three-year period of 2017-2019.

This is the third time Mark Spain Real Estate has been honored on the annual Bulldog 100. More than 429 nominations were submitted for the 2021 list.

Mark Spain Real Estate, owned and led by its namesake, Mark Spain, specializes in residential real estate. Spain is a 1993 graduate of the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia. The firm has earned the No. 1 real estate team in America honor the last three years running (The Thousand Top Real Estate Professionals, a national ranking based on annual sales production compiled by REAL Trends and The Wall Street Journal). Mark Spain Real Estate has also made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest- growing private companies in America for five consecutive years.

“I am extremely proud to be a University of Georgia graduate. Therefore, this Bulldog 100 award means a great deal to me,” stated Chairman and CEO Mark Spain. “By leading with a servant’s heart, remaining client-focused, and striving to constantly grow and improve, Mark Spain Real Estate has become the most trusted name in residential real estate by being the most 5-star reviewed real estate company in the United States.”

The 2021 Bulldog 100 includes businesses from industries such as technology, real estate, health care, construction and nonprofits. Of the 100 businesses, 81 are located within the state of Georgia. In total, two countries, nine U.S. states and the District of Columbia are represented on the latest Bulldog 100 list.

Applicants were measured by their business’ compounded annual growth rate during a three-year period. The Atlanta office of Warren Averett CPAs and Advisors, a Bulldog 100 partner since the program began in 2009, verified the information submitted by each company.

The UGA Alumni Association will virtually host the annual Bulldog 100 Celebration in February to celebrate these alumni business leaders and count down the ranked list to ultimately reveal the No. 1 fastest-growing business.
