Our History Since 1925, small cities and towns and the surrounding properties across America have relied on United Country Real Estate for all of their lifestyle and country real estate needs. It started as a vision to provide urban and suburban buyers a roadmap to the country and country sellers broader exposure for their listings by Roscoe L. Chamberlain. Chamberlin recognized that more remote country properties required more than just a For Sale Sign in the yard and out of area urban buyers had difficulty finding Lifestyle Real Estate. In 1928, the company produced the first national real estate catalog, which is housed in the Smithsonian Institution, recognized as a real estate marketing innovation for the time. The catalog enabled urban buyers to review country properties all over America in the comfort of their home. This innovation stays alive and well as United continues to publish the only national real estate catalog featuring lifestyle real estate. Today, extensive national marketing of listings is accomplished by one-of-a-kind marketing tools ranging from thousands of leading websites, unique niche marketing programs, advanced e-marketing programs, sophisticated social media advertising, direct mail, national magazine and newspaper advertising, custom marketing for listings provided by an in-house advertising agency, our famous exclusive national real estate catalogs, the only national buyer database of more than 650,000 buyers and more. 2
