About ‘The Thousand’ and ‘America’s Best’ Rankings

Advertised in The Wall Street Journal, the annual REALTrends “The Thousand” ranks participating U.S. real estate agents by number of homes sold in the previous year, as well as by sales volume.

Consisting of a record 18,000+ individual producers and team leaders, “America’s Best Real Estate Professionals” is the industry’s largest ranking of agents based on homes sold, and it includes the qualifiers for “The Thousand,” who essentially top every category. Both “The Thousand” and “America’s Best” are made up of five categories, and each category has two subcategories – one for sides and one for sales volume.

The five categories are: individual producers, small teams, medium teams, large teams and mega teams. This is the first year the surveys have been announced together.
