Inc. Magazine ranked US Appraisal Group 319th on its 31st annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. It was also ranked the 11th fastest growing real estate company in the country, and the 13th fastest growing company in the Chicago Metro area. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000. With three-year growth at 1,177 percent, US Appraisal Group anticipates an exciting 2012-2013 cycle.
“Over the past two years, we have brought on a number of significant accounts at US Appraisal Group," said said Dione Spiteri, CEO and president of US Appraisal Group. "Our clients are often initially attracted to our company because we are exceptionally vigilant about maintaining the highest quality appraisal panel. We believe that everyone deserves to have a positive experience and our vision is to dramatically increase confidence in appraisal management. Our inclusion on the Inc. 500 list is just another testament to our clients’ satisfaction. We’re very excited about the direction we’re headed in."
To make the Inc. 500, companies had to have achieved a staggering minimum of 770 percent in sales growth. The Inc. 500’s aggregate revenue is $15.7 billion, with a median three-year growth of 1,431 percent. The companies on this year's Inc. 500 employ more than 48,000 people and generated over 40,000 jobs in the past three years.
"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is,” says Inc. Magazine Editor Eric Schurenberg.
