Editor’s note: Some real estate-related companies may not have received mention in this report because they were not specifically listed in Inc. magazine’s real estate category. This article has been updated to include an additional real estate-related company that ranked among the fastest-growing private companies.

The lastest Inc. magazine list of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., released this week, includes 52 companies in its real estate category.

Companies on the Inc. 5000 are ranked by overall revenue growth in the three-year period between 2007-10. In order to qualify, companies had to have generated revenue by March 31, 2007; have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in 2007, and at least
$2 million in revenue in 2010; and be privately held, for profit, based in the U.S., and independent (not a subsidiary or division of another company), according to the Inc. website

Marietta, Ga.-based appraisal management company Valuation Management Group was at the top of the list of companies in the real estate category, with a 7,910 percent jump in revenue growth, to $25.4 million in 2010. The company had 50 employees at the
end of 2010, up from three at the end of 2007. The company ranked at No. 22 in the overall list of 5,000 companies.

Potomac, Md.-based Innotion Enterprises, which provides technology, management, and marketing services to asset managers for real estate owned properties, ranked fifth among companies in the real estate category. That company’s revenue jumped 1,564 percent
from 2007, to $14.4 million in 2010. The company had 46 employees in 2010, up from six in 2007.

    employees in 2007 to 58 in 2010.
