Empire Realty Group Earns Fifth Consecutive Crain’s Detroit Business Fast 50 Recognition

Southeast Michigan real estate company ranks No. 23 after achieving 255.3% five-year growth and $135 million in 2025 revenue

DEARBORN, Mich., August 18, 2026 — Empire Realty Group has been named to the 2026 Crain’s Detroit Business Fast 50, marking the company’s fifth consecutive year among Southeast Michigan’s fastest-growing businesses.

Empire ranked No. 23 on this year’s list, with Crain’s reporting 255.3% growth over five years and $135 million in 2025 revenue. The annual Fast 50 recognizes qualifying companies headquartered in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw and Livingston counties and ranks them according to revenue growth over the preceding five-year period.

“Being recognized once is an honor. Earning a place on this list for five consecutive years reflects something deeper—the consistency, discipline and trust our team has built over time,” said Ahmad Fawaz, CEO of Empire Realty Group. “This milestone belongs to our agents, employees, partners and clients who continue to believe in what we are building together.”

Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Dearborn, Empire has grown from a real estate brokerage into an integrated real estate services company spanning residential and commercial real estate, mortgage, title and media. Its model is designed to make the real estate experience more connected while giving clients access to complementary expertise under one trusted brand.

The fifth consecutive recognition comes as the company continues investing in its people, expanding its regional presence and strengthening the systems that support clients, agents and communities across Southeast Michigan.

“Fast growth can happen in a moment, but sustained growth has to be earned year after year,” said Ali Fawaz, Chief Growth and Marketing Officer of Empire Realty Group. “Five consecutive Fast 50 recognitions tell a larger story about our organization: we continue to evolve, find new ways to create value and remain deeply connected to the Southeast Michigan communities we serve.”

Crain’s 2026 list reflects the breadth of Southeast Michigan’s economy, with honorees representing industries ranging from advertising and transportation to health care, technology, construction and real estate. Empire’s continued inclusion demonstrates the strength of its integrated model and its ability to maintain momentum through changing real estate and economic conditions.
