Marco Fregenal Named 2025 HousingWire Vanguard: A Visionary Leader Guiding Fathom Into the Future

We're proud to announce that Marco Fregenal, CEO of Fathom Holdings, Inc., has been named a 2025 HousingWire Vanguard, one of the housing industry's most prestigious leadership honors.

Now in its 11th year, the HousingWire Vanguards award recognizes 100 of the most influential executives across real estate, mortgage, and housing technology. As Editor-in-Chief Sarah Wheeler stated, these leaders "aren't just driving growth within their organizations; they're shaping the future of housing itself."

Marco's recognition underscores the extraordinary impact of his leadership during a year of dynamic growth, innovation, and transformation for Fathom.

A Year of Strategic Growth and Innovation

Under Marco's direction, Fathom Holdings reported 32% revenue growth, 26% transaction growth, and 23% agent growth in the first quarter of 2025 alone, numbers that reflect not only strong operational execution, but also his vision for scaling in a volatile market.

Fathom Realty was ranked the #9 Largest Real Estate Brokerage in the U.S. by RealTrends Verified, with top-five growth in both transaction sides and volume over five years. These achievements were made while maintaining Fathom's commitment to independence, as the #6 Largest Independent Public Brokerage in the nation.

Elevating the Agent Experience

A hallmark of Marco's 2025 leadership was the launch of Elevate, a revolutionary platform that integrates lead generation, marketing, coaching, and transaction support powered by Fathom's proprietary intelliAgent technology. Elevate exemplifies Marco's ability to blend high-tech with high-touch while keeping Fathom's agent-first commission model intact.

"Elevate is designed to help our agents scale their business without sacrificing income or autonomy," Marco said. "It's about delivering world-class tools that empower, not encumber."

Elevate's early success, along with the performance of Fathom brands like LiveBy, helped secure spots on the 2025 HousingWire Tech100 list, further evidence of Fathom's role as a technology leader in real estate.

A Vanguard-Level Legacy

The HousingWire editorial team and judging panel selected Marco for his ability to lead through uncertainty while delivering transformative results. As HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins put it, "While others stand still, HousingWire Vanguards are moving forward, crafting a legacy of growth and innovation."

Marco's legacy is precisely that: an enduring commitment to servant leadership, agent success, and long-term value creation. His work has not only advanced the Fathom mission but also set a new standard for what leadership in real estate can look like.

Please join us in congratulating Marco Fregenal on this well-deserved honor. His Vanguard recognition reflects the strength of our collective future and the kind of leadership that inspires all of us at Fathom.
