Launch Real Estate Teams & Agent Receive Top Rankings in Phoenix

(Newswire.net — September 27, 2017) Scottsdale, AZ — The Phoenix Business Journal named four residential real estate teams and one residential real estate agent from Launch Real Estate to the 2017 edition of its annual Residential Real Estate Agents and Real Estate Teams lists.

The 2017 rankings are based on overall residential sales for the 2016 sales year. The same year that Launch Real Estate was founded. Sandra Baldwin, a co-founder of Launch Real Estate and head of The Sandra Baldwin Team, said that the real estate market in 2016 was steady and quite good. Baldwin pointed out how extraordinary it was for Launch Real Estate agents and teams to rank as well as they did in their first year of real estate sales. “When you look at us having four teams in the top thirty four. Out of all the thousands of real estate agents that we have now, I think it’s a great tribute to Launch Real Estate, and what we managed to get done since it was founded,” said Baldwin.

The residential real estate teams from Launch Real Estate that received top rankings in the Phoenix Business Journal were: The Joffe Group (Robert Joffe), LaunchPad (David Newcombe), The Sandra Baldwin Team (Sandra Baldwin), and the Gabel Phillips Group (Babbi Gabel and Angela Phillips).

Chris Karas, a co-founder of Launch Real Estate, at The Karas Group, was third on the agents list with total sales of $52.64 million in 2016. He attributes his success to the team atmosphere at Launch, “collectively we have more than 175 agents, pushing each other’s properties.” Karas added, “from the co-founders of this agency to its most recent hires, this agency has attracted the very best agents in the market because we offer a family friendly, team-based environment.”
