These sales associates and teams are far above average and have built enormously successful small businesses in an extremely competitive field,\u201d says Steve Murray, president of REAL&nbsp;Trends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to everyone who made the America\u2019s Best list,\u201d says Tom Ferry, owner and founder of Tom Ferry International. \u201cThere are multiple ways to become successful in real estate. Yet, despite the differences, the real estate professionals on this list have one thing in common\u2014they are the best. Great job from everyone at Tom Ferry International.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 14,500 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 2019. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;This year\u2019s America\u2019s Best includes additional categories and breakouts to highlight all the variances in the real estate industry. This year, there is a new category called agent-owned brokerages and team-owned brokerages which encompasses those top individual agents and teams who own and direct their brokerages. Many of them also qualify to be ranked on the REAL Trends Nation\u2019s Best Brokerages, which ranks the top 1,700 plus brokerage firms in the country.<\/p>\n<p>We also segmented teams by the number of Realtors\u00ae they have on their teams\u2014small (2-5 licensed members), medium (6-10), and large (11+) teams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those individual agents and teams who make up the 2020 America\u2019s Best Real Estate Professionals represent only about 1.5% of all Realtors\u00ae in the country yet account for over 10% of the closed transactions and more than 16% of all the sales volume closed last year,\u201d says Murray. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also special to note that the average Realtor did fewer than nine transactions and $2.4 million in volume in the same year,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to consider that such a small number of real estate professionals have found a way to truly build their own businesses.&nbsp;It\u2019s 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.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/rankings\/americas-best\">https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/rankings\/americas-best<\/a> to see the 2020 REAL&nbsp;Trends + Tom Ferry&nbsp;America&#8217;s Best Real Estate Professionals list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>METHODOLOGY<\/strong><br \/>REAL Trends + Tom Ferry America\u2019s Best Real Estate Professionals honors America&#8217;s finest real estate agents and their companies and is compiled and analyzed by REAL Trends.<\/p>\n<p>The rankings are compiled based on surveys from virtually every nationally branded network, many state and local associations of Realtors\u00ae, MLSs, all applicants from past years\u2019 rankings, and the 900 largest brokerage firms in the United States.
