We’re honored to announce that FirstTeam® Real Estate has been named a 2025 Disruptors Awards nominee by the Los Angeles Business Journal, recognizing organizations reshaping their industries through innovation, creativity, and exponential growth.
This recognition isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about the leaders behind the growth, the culture behind the brand, and the people behind the agents.
At FirstTeam®, we believe in building businesses that last, and that starts by building up the people who power them. Our nomination is a reflection of the very foundation we’ve built:
-
Where leadership isn’t just diverse, it’s dynamic, with women charting the course across marketing, operations, and agent success.
-
A culture of ownership that rewards initiative, mentorship, and collaboration.
-
A commitment to being agent-first, not just in words, but in systems, structure, and everyday support.
This moment is especially meaningful to us as it highlights the powerful synergy between our core campaigns:
-
Behind the Agent™, our agent-first philosophy that provides agents with the resources, marketing, technology, and legal support to grow businesses that endure.
-
Women of FirstTeam®, a celebration of the extraordinary women who lead, mentor, market, negotiate, and build, both behind the scenes and at the frontlines of every market we serve.
We want to take this moment to thank every leader and agent who made this possible. And to especially recognize the women whose leadership continues to drive our company forward:
Michele Harrington, Lauren Henss, Anna Bennett, Merie Yousef, and Merie Fam, thank you for your vision, brilliance, and drive. You exemplify what it means to lead Behind the Agent™.
And to every FirstTeam® manager and agent across California, Idaho, and Washington, this recognition belongs to you. We are proud to be your partner, and we’re just getting started.
We look forward to celebrating with our peers and fellow innovators at the 2025 Disruptors Awards on December 4th at the Biltmore Los Angeles.
Let’s keep building what’s next.
