Mark Spain Real Estate, which has been named the No. 1 real estate team in the U.S. for closed transactions each of the last four years by Real Trends and The Wall Street Journal, is expanding into Alabama. Its Birmingham office will officially open on May 16. Mark Spain Real Estate already has 14 offices in Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Nashville, Chattanooga, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greenville.

The new Mark Spain Real Estate office is located at 3000 Galleria Circle, Suite 1500, in Birmingham, near Riverchase Galleria mall and just off Interstate 459. It expects to add over 50 jobs to the area once its office is fully staffed.

The greater Birmingham real estate market averages 40 days on the market and listings are selling for 100% of list price. The median sold home price was a very affordable $210,000. Inc. has named Birmingham one of the 50 best places to start a business and Glassdoor has ranked it 8th for best city for getting a job.

“Birmingham’s cost of living is well below the national average and this helps with quality of life and achieving homeownership,” said President and CEO John Makarewicz. “We are grateful for the opportunity to help Birmingham families with their real estate goals and look forward to serving the community.”

In 2021, Mark Spain Real Estate jumped from $1.4 billion in annual sales to $3.3 billion, surpassing 10,000 annual transactions for the first time. Additionally, the company expanded into the Tampa and Orlando real estate markets in 2021. The Atlanta-based firm is opening five additional offices in mid-size Southeastern markets by mid-year. Its popular Guaranteed Offer program offers a quick, hassle-free option for Birmingham homeowners to sell their homes without showings.

Mark Spain Real Estate was just honored for a third time on the Real Trends 500, a ranking that showcases the top-producing residential real estate brokerages in the country. The 500 firms on the annual list represent the top half of 1% of all real estate firms, franchise and independent. These firms represented 40% of all brokerage-controlled real estate sales in the U.S. in 2021, and Mark Spain Real Estate ranked in the top 12% of brokerages nationwide. This is quite an accomplishment given the company employs 352 agents, compared to the average of 1,138 agents the other brokerages on the list employ. Comparatively, Mark Spain Real Estate agents are more effective, selling 4x more homes than the average agent.

Mark Spain Real Estate differs from traditional real estate brokerages as all agents work as a team to serve clients and provide an unparalleled client experience. Its agents are also highly trained and specialized, serving clients on only one side of a transaction. This allows clients’ goals to remain the top priority, unlike at traditional brokerages where an agent can represent both the buyer and seller in a sale and potentially create a conflict of interest. One of the company’s core values is to remain client-focused, and, as a result, Mark Spain Real Estate has received nearly 10,000 5-star reviews and is the No. 1 most reviewed real estate company in the United States.
