FROM
RECORD SALES TO REVOLUTIONARY DATABASES: UNITED COUNTRY’S 1970S LEGACY
As we
celebrate 100 years of United Country, we’re taking a look back at the key
moments that shaped our legacy. The 1970s were a pivotal decade—one of
record-breaking sales and groundbreaking innovations that set the stage for the
future of real estate and auctions.
A Landmark
Year in Sales
In 1972,
United Country reported a 48-year record high in sales volume, reaching an
impressive $297,800,000—a 30% year-over-year increase. This growth reflected
our commitment to helping buyers and sellers connect across the country, a
mission that continues to drive us today.
Revolutionizing
Buyer Connections
The 1970s
also saw the introduction of a game-changing innovation: our very first buyer
lead database. This tool allowed sellers to instantly connect with buyers
already searching for properties like theirs, making the selling process more
efficient and effective.
Fast
forward to today, and that pioneering idea has evolved into a private database
of over 1 million opt-in buyers—an invaluable resource for our sellers and
brokers.
A Legacy
of Progress
United
Country’s ability to embrace technology and innovation has been a driving force
behind our success for the past century. From the early days of print
advertising to today’s cutting-edge digital marketing strategies, we remain
committed to leading the industry and delivering unmatched results for our
clients.
Stay tuned
as we continue to reflect on our 100-year journey and the milestones that have
shaped our success. Here’s to the next century of growth and innovation!
