Richmond, VA, February 28, 2019 --(PR.com)-- United® Real Estate, a fast-growing real estate franchise, announces the addition of a new Broker-Owner team joining its Richmond office. Following the successful launch of their second office in 2018, United Real Estate | Richmond continues to be one of the fastest growing office in Central Virginia. In accordance with this growth, a new Broker-Owner team set to join, United | Richmond will be led by Charles Futrell, previous Principal Broker with The Universal Real Estate Group.

The newest addition will be the first of several small to mid-size brokerages expected to move to United Real Estate, under their new Broker-Owner’s Program. United’s business model attracts teams and brokerages who are searching for a way to sustain their well-established brands but are seeking affordable tools and training. The Broker-Owner’s Program provides state-of-the-art technology to keep up with the ever-changing real estate market.
