“We achieved strong growth momentum across the customer, agent and new product fronts in the third quarter, and that success drove third-quarter financial results that were above our expectations,” said ZipRealty CEO Lanny Baker in a statement.
The firm’s Powered by Zip network, which added three firms in the third quarter to bring the network total to 19 and has been run by former Microsoft exec Xavier Zang since June, saw revenue jump 72 percent and the number of participating agents jump 101 percent in the third quarter 2013 from a year ago, Baker said.
The number of unique visitors to ZipRealty’s mobile and Web sites were up 11 percent in the third quarter to an average of close to 2.8 million per month from July through September, and the number of agents at its company-owned brokerages grew to 1,692 by third quarter’s end, the firm reported.
