ZipRealty (NASDAQ: ZIPR), a full-service real estate brokerage, has announced the Company was ranked number 59 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a listing of the fastest growing technology companies in North America. From 2000 to 2004 ZipRealty grew an impressive 4,394 percent making it the highest ranked real estate company on the list. ZipRealty also ranked number eight on the Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50, a regional listing of the 50 fastest growing technology firms.
Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years. Overall, companies that ranked on the 2005 Technology Fast 500 had growth rates ranging from 240 to 73,752 percent over the past five years, with an average growth rate of 2,408 percent.
ZipRealty was founded on the belief that buying or selling a home could be faster, easier and more efficient. Since the Company launched in 1999, the Company has continued to expand its services, offering excellent customer service, savings and convenience to clients in its markets from coast to coast. The Company went public in November 2004, and has closed more than 33,000 real estate transactions worth over $11 billion. In the past year, ZipRealty has expanded into Las Vegas, Houston and Miami, and has announced plans to enter into four-to-six new markets in 2006.
“To be included on Deloitte’s prestigious list of successful technology companies is an honor and a credit to our model, vision and commitment to client service in the real estate industry,” says ZipRealty president and CEO Eric Danziger. “We feel we offer our clients a better way to buy and sell homes, blending proprietary technology and the Internet with experienced agents in our 15 local markets. This model allows us to better serve our customers and make the home buying and selling process easier and more efficient.”
Fast 500 Selection and Qualifications
The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte’s 15 regional North American Fast 50 lists, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 2000 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD or $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively, and 2004 operating revenues of at least $1 million USD or CD.
Entrants must be headquartered in North America and must be a “technology company,” defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
