Both firms foster innovation, empower agents to reach their full potential, give back to the Austin community, and consistently rank among the top 3 workplaces in Austin.<\/p>\n<p>The merger creates a powerful force in the Austin market with over 10% market share, and signals to the residential real estate industry that independent, agent-centric brokerages with forward-thinking technology will continue to lead from a position of strength by prioritizing their agents and customers.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Boatwright, co-owner of Realty Austin said, \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome REILLY, REALTORS\u00ae to the Realty Austin family. This is our first acquisition and one we made very thoughtfully. Our core values couldn\u2019t be more closely aligned as both companies have a team-oriented culture made up of very productive and collaborative agents. It will allow us the scale we need to take our agent tools and services to the next level while increasing our online presence by about 50%.\u201d The companies operate the #1 and #2 local real estate websites, realtyaustin.com and austinhomelistings.com.<\/p>\n<p>Yvette Boatwright, co-owner of Realty Austin said, \u201cOur companies are very similar, both culturally and professionally, as we are both consistently ranked a top 3 workplace and focused on giving back to the Austin community. We have long had a mutual respect for one another, and are very excited to welcome the Reillys, their agents and their amazing staff to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael Reilly, owner of REILLY, REALTORS\u00ae said, \u201cJonathan and I have known each other for over ten years. We were among the first companies in Austin real estate to successfully leverage the Internet to generate opportunities for our agents, and over the years we\u2019ve had many conversations around real estate and technology. I\u2019ve always respected Jonathan as one of the most forward-thinking people in the business. My most important priority in this move is making sure our agents and staff have a place where they can continue to grow and thrive. We know Realty Austin is that place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shae Reilly agrees and adds, \u201cThis merger will also benefit our home buyers and sellers, thanks to Realty Austin\u2019s exceptional marketing platform and technology tools. We know our agents will have even more resources and training, and with our combined support staff, more time to spend on the things that matter most to their clients. We will be better together!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brokerage was the first in Austin to harness the power of the internet to grow their agent\u2019s business, and in 2006 was one of the first brokerages in the US to leverage Salesforce CRM to make their agents more productive. Realty Austin recently upgraded its brand with a new logo, signage, and a refresh of the Realty Austin Website and mobile home search app. This new look reflects the visionary spirit of the company and their trajectory of success. In 2019 the company will open three new state-of-the-art Agent Success Centers near Lakeline, the Triangle, and Southwest Parkway. An Agent Success Team will staff each of these locations to help agents grow their business through coaching, training and collaboration with their peers. Realty Austin agents are supported in total by 52 staffers in 6 offices throughout the Austin area, and average more sales per agent than any other large firm in Austin.<\/p>\n<p>REILLY, REALTORS\u00ae was founded in 2006 by former tech executives Michael and Shae Reilly. The firm has seen rapid growth in the past several years which led them to start exploring options for taking the company to the next level. The Reillys were approached by several national real estate firms but elected to partner with Realty Austin because of their strong local brand and the superior services that Realty Austin could offer their agents.<\/p>\n<p>REILLY, REALTORS\u00ae agents will transition to the Realty Austin brand over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>More info on REALTY AUSTIN AND REILLY REALTORS\u00ae JOIN FORCES #BetterTogether<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=REALTY+AUSTIN+AND+REILLY+REALTORS%C2%AE+JOIN+FORCES+%23BetterTogether&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">REALTY AUSTIN AND REILLY REALTORS\u00ae JOIN FORCES #BetterTogether - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=66376548be0f462c88df6ebb3f2f9e7a&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mercurynews.com%2F2024%2F04%2F17%2Fsan-jose-real-estate-entertainment-store-sports-kids-economy-jobs%2F&amp;c=9942782253959118239&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tReal Estate\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>(Google Maps) \u201cWe continue to capitalize on real estate opportunities where there are growing numbers of young families building demand for our business and leasable former retail spaces that ...<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n            \n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=66376548be0f462c88df6ebb3f2f9e7a&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.msn.com%2Fen-us%2Fmoney%2Frealestate%2Fcommanders-bank-of-america-join-forces-to-build-new-homes-in-silver-spring%2Fvi-BB1lOewI&amp;c=14960800681511248360&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCommanders, Bank of America join forces to build new homes in Silver Spring\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Washington Commanders and Bank of America joined forces with the Habitat for Humanity to build affordable housing for communities in Montgomery County.
