42 years.
Last week Rapattoni Corporation celebrated their 42nd anniversary as a company. Andy and Niki have been in business for over 42 years. A remarkable feat.
The closest company I can think of being around as long is FBS (flexmls) at 33 years.
Think about all the companies getting in and out of this industry, the name changes, the reorgs, the acquistions, etc. Here’s a few…
PRC
Moore Data Systems
Fidelity
LPS
VistaInfo
eProperty
Homeseekers
GEAC
Realigent
Cyberhomes
IRIS, LLC
FNIS

Realty Plus Online
HomeStore
Marketlinx
RISCO

And I know I’m missing a few.
I’m sure, like any company, Rapattoni has had their ups and downs. But as the co-founder of a 4 year old software company the fact that Andy and Niki have been able to keep their company together in this space since Nixon was president is inspiration and deserves recognition. Congratulations.
This is an incredible example of entrepreneurial fortitude. My hats off to them! It’s a great American story of starting a company from scratch, putting it all on the line every day, and creating a 42 year old successful company. Congrats to Andy and Niki, and their team.
