Coakley Realty, Inc. Celebrates 25 Years in Business, Continues Family Legacy of Entrepreneurship in the Washington, D.C. Area

One of the area’s leading real estate firms marks key milestone, builds on four generations of dedication, professionalism and integrity in business

ROCKVILLE, MD – April 1, 2014 – Rory S. Coakley Realty, Inc. (Coakley Realty), a premier full service residential and commercial real estate company in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area serving Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C., announces today that it has reached a key milestone, 25 years in business. This newest achievement is underscored by the company’s innovative growth model and culture of expertise, nimble structure and focus on client outcomes.

Rory S. Coakley, Founder and President of Coakley Realty, hails from a long line of entrepreneurs who have exerted significant impact on the business growth and culture of the Washington, D.C. region.  While working at his father, Neil T. Coakley’s development and construction company, Coakley & Williams Inc., early in his career, Rory got ‘the itch’ to go out on his own, and transitioned to running his own business full-time over a period of two years.

As a premier full-service real estate firm serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Coakley Realty specializes in residential and commercial real estate sales and leasing, property management, tax appeals, appraisals and litigation support. The boutique-style firm has carved out a niche in the crowded D.C. metropolitan area real estate market through its innovative single-source, one-stop-shop model, which allows the client maximum access to knowledge and expertise, with a responsive team that is ready to help them meet their real estate goals on their schedule and budget. Coakley Realty’s fluid corporate structure also allows the company to be more flexible on terms and conditions, when compared to their larger, more structured competitors.

“We are thrilled to have reached this momentous milestone in our company’s history,” Rory stated. “All of our successes are a testament to the values of hard work, dedication and entrepreneurial spirit, qualities central to our family’s legacy in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area real estate market over four generations. We are pleased with all we have achieved so far and look ahead with anticipation to the years to come.”

2013 marked the company’s best year yet in gross sales. In 2014, Rory will continue to lead a push to expand Coakley Realty’s real estate tax appeal business, while also focusing on increasing the firm’s footprint across the Washington, D.C. region in the growth of its residential capabilities, with a strong focus on the expansion of its commercial sales and leasing, and property management lines of business. Rory also recently completed a relocation of the firm’s headquarters to support his aggressive growth goals, and several new real estate consultants will be on-boarded over the next several months as the company continues to grow in sales, visibility, and stature.
