OUR MISSION Fifth Avenue’s mission/purpose is expressed in this simple phrase: Bringing People Home. This statement encompasses all we do:
From the Developer partner/Client perspective, this statement continues to be the driving force behind what we do. We provide advisory services, essential Project planning and preparation, and high-performance marketing and sales services. We collaborate with our Developer Clients/partners to sell at pace and optimal prices.
From the consumer perspective, it describes our ongoing role in connecting prospective new multifamily home Buyers and their REALTOR® representation with the newest multifamily offerings in each of the more suburban markets we serve.
The Mission Statement also extends beyond our for-profit aims and includes our “Corporate sharing and giving”.

OUR VISION Fifth Avenue is a “sales-marketing organization”. The central focus of all our activities is not complicated: sell homes. The marketing side of our work is undergoing dramatic shifts including the growing use of digital and social media, the ever more important rise of the third-party REALTOR® and the emergence of the Foreign Buyer community in our key markets. Continued success requires strategic adaptation and a continual pursuit of sales, marketing and operational excellence. Excellence drives Client loyalty and new business development success. To sell more, we collaborate with Developer partner/Clients to develop communities/new homes that become the Consumer’s preferred choice and enable us to outperform the competition. We continue to position ourselves as a natural extension of our typically entrepreneurial Developer partner/Clients’ organizations.
We are the marketing and sales department they require without the investment in overhead that an in-house solution demands and the associated risks. Thus, our work providing “Sales and Marketing from The Ground Up” includes helping our clients develop their own businesses and brands as we do what we do.
The “Sell More” vision captures the inherent competitive spirit that flows through our organization. To that end, we focus on being a formidable competitor in each market area we operate in. We also know full well that we cannot be everywhere so we focus on the market areas where we can lead and focus on providing leading value-added services that enable us to attract the best new opportunities and achieve relative premium rates and fees. Our client base is growing and operationally and culturally diverse, thus our vision includes shaping our staffing to match the changing demographics make-up of our Clients, Consumers, and REALTOR®s in our markets.
The “Sell More” vision is fueled by the following aspirations:
OUR CULTURE Our overall culture is always a work in process as is every one that contributes to it. With that said, we are inherently a sales culture. We refer to our collective efforts to advance at our craft and create an environment in which active learning is encouraged as a New Homes Sales Professional Community of Practice – the “Sell More Community”. Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. Enduring passion for sales and selling anyone?
