Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Auction.com, the world’s largest online real estate marketplace, Jeff Frieden, is a finalist for EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2014 in the Orange County Region.
“This is truly an honor, and I consider it a testament to our team and its commitment to driving the technology, service and results that have made us a leader in our industry,” Frieden said. “Auction.com’s vision is to fundamentally change the way people buy and sell real estate, and we believe that our company will play an important role in how real estate sales are transacted in the future.”
Under Frieden’s leadership, Aucton.com has sold $20 billion in real estate assets since 2010 and is now valued at $1.2 billion. A recent $50 million investment by Google Capital is expected to further solidify the company’s leadership in online real estate sales.
Now in its 28th year, the EY Entrepreneur of the Year™ awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.
