REAL TRENDS AMERICA’S BEST REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS RANKINGS

More than 14,000 real estate professionals from every state are featured. To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2018. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.

Steve Murray, REAL Trends president, said, "Those individual agents and teams who make up the 2020 America’s Best Real Estate Professionals represent only about 1.5% of all Realtors® in the country yet account for over 10% of the closed transactions and more than 16% of all the sales volume closed last year,” says Murray.  

“It’s also special to note that the average Realtor did fewer than nine transactions and $2.4 million in volume in the same year,” he says. “It’s incredible to consider that such a small number of real estate professionals have found a way to truly build their own businesses. It’s also interesting that these top performers are reaching new levels while they work with numerous different kinds of brokerage firms and regions of the country." 

The rankings are compiled based on surveys from virtually every national branded network, many state and local associations of Realtors®, multiple listing services, all applicants from past years’ rankings, and the 900 largest brokerage firms in the United States. Verification from an independent source is required for all submissions. In addition, REAL Trends senior staff reviews every submission for completeness and accuracy.
