17 Brokerages Make Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Firms

Every year, the Inc. 5000 list cuts through the noise and identifies the private companies actually growing in America. This year, 17 real estate brokerages earned a spot, and their stories offer a clear signal about what is working in today's market. From a No. 7 overall ranking to established firms crossing major revenue milestones, the range of companies on this list is worth paying close attention to.

The Brokerages That Made the Cut

Here is a closer look at the standout performers and what their placements tell us about the current landscape of real estate growth.

Epique Realty - No. 7 Overall

The headline grabber of the group, Epique Realty did not just make the Inc. 5000 - it landed at No. 7 overall, making it the fastest-growing real estate brokerage in America on the list. What makes this placement particularly notable is that their expansion has been entirely organic. No acquisitions, no inflated agent counts from mergers. Just genuine, compounding growth built from the ground up.

SERHANT.

Founded by Ryan Serhant, the SERHANT. brokerage has become one of the most recognized names in luxury real estate. Their Inc. 5000 placement follows a period of aggressive and strategic market expansion, proving that brand-led growth backed by strong agent support can translate into real business results at scale.

CB&A, Realtors - No. 976

Based in Tomball, Texas, CB&A, Realtors posted a 353% growth rate to land at No. 976. The firm sits in the $5 million to $10 million revenue bracket, which means this level of growth represents a serious operational achievement. Executing at that pace without losing service quality is no small task for a regional brokerage.

Zach Taylor Real Estate - No. 1,531

This Murfreesboro, Tennessee firm recorded a 228% growth rate on its way to No. 1,531. Murfreesboro has been one of the faster-growing metro areas in the Southeast, and Zach Taylor Real Estate appears to have capitalized on that momentum with a focused, market-specific strategy.

The Hype Real Estate Group - No. 1,611

A younger firm based in Miami, The Hype Real Estate Group achieved 216% growth to land at No. 1,611. Miami continues to attract domestic and international buyers, and firms that can move quickly in that environment are clearly finding room to grow fast.

Lamacchia Realty - No. 3,254

The Waltham, Massachusetts-based brokerage posted a 91% growth rate and reached the $50 million to $100 million revenue tier. For a firm of this size to sustain that growth rate is genuinely impressive. Lamacchia has long invested in agent development and technology infrastructure, and this ranking reflects what that kind of long-term commitment produces.

Partners Real Estate

Founded in 1997, Partners Real Estate out of Houston has been in the business long enough to have seen multiple market cycles. Posting a 30% growth rate while operating in the $50 million to $100 million revenue bracket shows that established brokerages can still scale meaningfully when they stay focused and adapt well.

What These Brokerages Have in Common

The firms on this list come from different markets, different size tiers, and different stages of their business lifecycle. But a few themes run through their stories consistently.

1. Market clarity: Each of these brokerages knows exactly which clients they serve and where they compete. Diluted positioning rarely produces this kind of growth.
2. Agent experience as a growth lever: The fastest-growing firms invest in making their agents more productive and more supported. When agents grow, the brokerage grows.
3. Operational discipline: Revenue growth at scale requires systems that can keep up. Brokerages hitting the $50 million to $100 million tier while still growing did not get there by accident.
4. Adaptability: Whether it is a newer firm riding a hot market or a 25-year-old brokerage evolving its model, the ability to adjust quickly appears to separate the high performers from the field.

What This Means for Agents and Brokerages

The Inc. 5000 list is more than a rankings exercise. It is a real-world benchmark for what growth looks like across different business models and market conditions. For independent brokerages and growing teams, the lesson is straightforward: sustainable growth comes from building the right foundation, not chasing shortcuts.

Tools matter. Systems matter. The way you recruit, retain, and support agents matters. Brokerages that get those fundamentals right - and back them up with technology that actually helps agents close more business - are the ones showing up on lists like this.

The fastest-growing brokerages in America are not growing by accident. They are building on purpose.
