Delete. Advertorially toned article about a real estate company, whose only evident claim of notability under WP:CORP is that it's been ranked as a "top local company" in local listicles. For sourcing, all we have here is a business directory which just verifies the company's existence but does nothing to support notability, a press release on the website of an affiliated agency, and a blurb which just names the top company on one of the ranking lists while entirely failing to mention this company at all. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes -- in addition to the fact that the sourcing here doesn't even pass basic WP:GNG, companies have the added burden of also having to pass WP:AUD on the basis of media coverage expanding significantly beyond the purely local, which nothing here does. In addition, the article was created by a user named "LRE123", a probable conflict of interest. As always, Wikipedia is not a free PR directory on which a company is entitled to start an article about itself just because it exists -- RS coverage, supporting a valid claim of notability per CORP, has to be shown for an article to become earned.

Delete. I agree that it the wording looked like it belonged on a company website than on Wikipedia. It lacks real information on the subject and only serves to promote the subject. Meiloorun  (talk) 🍁 22:26, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Improve or Delete Article is too promotional in nature and lacks sufficient references. Making the Inc 500 list is a highly notable, but no other significant sources or indications of notability. Author should improve the article ASAP with 1) further references from reputable international media, 2) more insightful content about the company's activities, coverage, history, etc. Newtonslaw40 (talk) 16:07, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Concur with nom. Promotionally toned and written by SPA with probably COI. MB 02:45, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't care about COI as much as I care about the fact that no notability has been established. Longstanding Wikipedia consensus is that Business Journals, while sourceable for information, do not confer notability.  Directories absolutely don't confer notability.  And the best google news comes up with for this company are local newspapers only, which are insufficient to convey notability.  Delete. Fieari (talk) 02:56, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:PROMO; strictly advertorial. No indications of notability or significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:52, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
