Wednesday, February 28, 2018
Residential Properties Ltd. President and CEO Sally Lapides appeared on GoLocal LIVE, where she spoke to the company having a record 2017 finishing with nearly $800,000,000 in total sales volume -- and how she is aiming at over $1 billion in 2018.
RPL was recently ranked as the #1 real estate company in Rhode Island for both number of residences sold and overall sales volume in 2017. Founded in 1981, RPL now has approximately 180 agents and five office locations.
In a wide-ranging interview, Lapides spoke to the current market versus pre-2007-2008; whether she saw the market at its peak yet; the impact of price increases and limited inventory, and what communities besides Providence are heating up.
