The Exception to the Rule

Did you know that 12 percent of companies remain in business for 25 years? As impressive as a quarter-century sounds, do you want to guess the number that celebrates 100 years? One out of 200, i.e., a mere 0.5 percent. Which is why United Country Real Estate, its nearly 500 offices, and its more than 4,000 agents in the United States, Canada, Central America, and South America should take a well-deserved bow. This year marks the centennial of the innovative Kansas City-based real estate powerhouse. I encourage you to take a few minutes and study Cary Estes’s take on United Country’s centennial. It might help you — in the long run.
