“We also continue to invest in the most up-to-date technology that provides our sales executives an unparalleled level of service to market and sell their clients’ homes,” said Gordon Miles, president and COO. “Our technology and global marketing abilities have been particularly attractive to our Millennial real estate sales executives and clients.”
