DALLAS, TX – The Ebby Halliday Companies, which includes Ebby Halliday Realtors and Dave Perry-Miller & Associates, topped $6.4 billion in residential real estate sales in 2013, a company record for the 68-year-old firm. Sales at the North Texas residential real estate leader were approximately 25 percent above 2012 levels. Company sales volume is calculated using an industrywide standard that is based on the value of each closed transaction.
“We are so grateful to our valued clients – both home buyers and sellers – who have entrusted us with one of the largest financial transactions of their lifetime,” says Mary Frances Burleson, president and CEO of the Ebby Halliday Companies. “Sales records of this magnitude reflect the exceptional performance of our more than 1,500 Associates. We are so pleased to recognize their professional accomplishment and success – they are the reason the Ebby Halliday Companies lead the North Texas real estate market.”
Since 1945, Ebby Halliday has provided outstanding service to home buyers and sellers and the community. With 30 offices located throughout North Texas, the Ebby Halliday Companies is the largest independently owned residential real estate company in Texas and the 12th-largest nationwide, according to REAL Trends, Inc. In addition to brokerage and leasing services, the firm offers mortgage, insurance and title services through Home Team Mortgage Co., Home Team Insurance and Texas Premier Title.
“With dedication, creativity and most of all team spirit, the Ebby Halliday Companies has grown from a one-woman office to one of the most-respected residential real estate firms in the United States,” says Betty Misko, executive vice president and director of sales offices. “Our firm remains independent, and has risen to the top thanks to highly trained sales associates, outstanding sales managers, and top-notch corporate staff and senior management.”
Adds Ron Burgert, chief financial officer of the locally owned firm, “2013 sales at the Ebby Halliday Companies are a testament to the growing strength of the North Texas economy, our company’s conservative, yet pro-active management approach during both positive and negative economic cycles, and to our industry-leading Associates who are known far and wide for serving our clients with the upmost professionalism.”
The Ebby Halliday Companies’ more than $6.4 billion in residential real estate sales in 2013 offers a clear picture for potential home sellers in North Texas, according to Ms. Burleson. “Now is an ideal time to offer a property for sale given our region’s increasing home values, decreased competition for sellers and projected growth.”
