VILLA NAMED 2013 TOP WORKPLACE

Villa Real Estate, Southern California's most innovative luxury residential real estate brokerage, today announced that it has been selected as one of The Orange County Register's Top Workplaces for 2013. The honor is based directly on employee feedback that is gathered via survey and the Newport Beach-based firm was up against stiff competition from hundreds of other impressive firms throughout the county.

Villa Real Estate's leadership hand-selects the region's top luxury residential real estate professionals for the firm's team, all of whom are renowned for their outstanding sales productivity and proven track records for delivering stellar client service. In addition to being top producers, Villa Real Estate's professionals are among the most respected, ethical, and client-centric real estate advisors in the industry.

"We've grown from five founding agents to more than 60 accomplished real estate professionals within six months," said Kim Bibb, Villa Real Estate Co-Founder. "Villa Real Estate's incomparable corporate culture – where both agents and clients are treated with the utmost respect and importance – deeply resonates within our industry and our community. It's an innovative and effective approach that we are very proud to bring to Orange County."
