The Baltimore Business Journal ranked The Long & Foster Companies as the No. 1 residential real estate firm in the greater Baltimore region on June 23. The list ranks firms by the number of local sales agents each one has in the region.

“We’re honored to be recognized as the No. 1 residential real estate company in the Baltimore region by the Baltimore Business Journal,” said Gary Scott, president of Long &  Foster Real Estate. “Since our founding nearly 50 years ago, Long & Foster has worked diligently to put our agents first, ensuring they have the best technology, tools and training available so they can succeed in this business. Our ranking in the Baltimore Business Journal is a testament to that commitment.”

Cindy Ariosa, senior vice president of the Baltimore and Western Maryland region of Long & Foster, shared Scott’s thoughts on the recognition.

“I’m so proud to see Long & Foster at the top of this list, and I’m thankful for each and every agent that has chosen to call our company their home,” Ariosa said. “We’re an agent-focused organization and without our family of agents we wouldn’t be the company we are today. It’s because of our associates’ dedication, professionalism and passion in guiding clients home that we’re the leading real estate company not only in the Baltimore area, but also throughout the Mid-Atlantic.”
