WHERE WE LIVE, quality extends to people, NOT JUST PROPERTIES.
THE APR Tradition
Alain Pinel Realtors began in 1990 with a pioneering vision: that the principles shaping success in other industries – innovation, global networking, technology-driven productivity, and attention to the marketplace – would succeed in real estate, as well. We recognized and leveraged the advantages delivered by cutting-edge information tools. We invested in our brand, recognizing the power of high-quality marketing materials. And we were the first to embrace a code of best practices that set a foundation for consistent excellence over time.
APR is the largest privately-owned and independent residential real estate company in California, and was ranked the sixth largest residential real estate firm in the United States based on its closed sales volume in 2010. The firm has nearly 1,400 agents in its 32 offices throughout the Bay Area. Celebrating over 20 years in Bay Area real estate, APR was founded by CEO and President Paul L. Hulme, and is based in Saratoga, California.
