Alain Pinel Realtors is an independent, family owned real estate company that has set the standard for innovation and the use of technology in real estate since its inception in 1990. Founded by Paul Hulme in Saratoga, Alain Pinel was different from the start. It was the first company to employ networking in the real estate industry by providing a computer for every agent, allowing them to send email and access technology to enhance their productivity. Alain Pinel was also the first real estate brokerage to have its own web site. Today that web site, apr.com, is the industry standard for interactive web sites designed with the consumer in mind.

While we are an independent brokerage firm, we are not small. We employ over 1100 agents in 24 bay area offices. And our sales professionals are the most productive agents in the country among the top firms, averaging almost 3 times the industry average for production per agent. As compared to the largest national franchises, we are among the top 10 real estate firms in sales volume, with over $8 Billion in annual property transactions.

Our unique identity in the marketplace is often copied, but never duplicated. Our bold marketing and cutting edge technology gives us an enormous advantage in the sophisticated bay area real estate environment, where we have revolutionized the real estate industry. Alain Pinel Realtors continues to deliver outstanding results for our sophisticated clients, who have come to appreciate our emphasis on leading into the future.
