SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Side, the only real estate brokerage platform that exclusively partners with the best agents, teams and independent brokerages to transform them into market-leading boutique companies, today announced that 195 partner agents and companies — around 46% of all companies on the Side platform — have been named to the 2022 RealTrends America's Best Real Estate Professionals list.

"We're extremely proud — and not at all surprised — to see so many of our partners recognized on the RealTrends list of America's Best Real Estate Professionals," said Guy Gal, CEO of Side. "That so many companies in the Side network were named to this list illustrates Side's commitment to partnering with only the very best agents, teams, and independent brokers in real estate and helping them predictably grow their own companies year over year. Congratulations to the hundreds of Side partners who were honored for this well-deserved recognition."

Unlike traditional brokerages, which require agents to adhere to the brokerage's brand, Side is a brokerage platform that elevates the best agents in the industry as their own distinct brands. Side's platform allows agents to easily manage their transactions from contract to close, saving an average of 4-6 hours per transaction. In 2021, 30% of Side partner brands doubled their production volume year-over-year.

Founded in 2017, Side has grown to serve over 420 partner companies across California, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and New York. Of Side's partner companies, over 50% are woman-owned and over 30% are minority-owned. On the strength of its model, Side raised a $150 million Series D round for a valuation of $1 billion; just three months later, the company more than doubled its valuation to $2.5 billion with an additional $50 million in funding.
