REAL Trends + Tom Ferry Announce 2020 The Thousand 15th annual real estate ranking advertised in The Wall Street Journal

CASTLE ROCK, Colo. - EntSun -- Today, REAL Trends + Tom Ferry, as advertised in The Wall Street Journal, published the 15^th annual The Thousand list of America's top 1,000 real estate sales professionals, teams, and agent- and team-owned brokerages. An abridged list of the designees is published in today's edition of The Wall Street Journal and a complete listing is available online at www.realtrends.com/rankings/rt1000.

REAL Trends + Tom Ferry The Thousand, is an annual, national awards ranking sponsored by REAL Trends—the Trusted Source—and Tom Ferry International coaching, advertised in The Wall Street Journal. Designees are recognized as the top one-tenth of one percent of more than 1.4 million licensed Realtors® nationwide.

The Thousand includes additional categories to highlight the variances in the real estate industry. This year, there is a new category called Agent-owned and Team-owned brokerages—encompassing those top agents and teams who own their brokerages. Many also qualify to be ranked on the REAL Trends Nation's Best Brokerages, the top 1,700+ brokerage firms in the country.

We also segmented teams by the number of Realtors® they have on their teams—small (2-5 licensed members), medium (6-10), and large (11+) teams. "We changed the ranking categories to allow for a more accurate and equal representation of successful agents and teams based on size and business models," said Steve Murray, president of REAL Trends.

We continue to ensure accuracy in these reports but also realize that given the disparity of the types of agent and team models, absolute consistency is not always achievable. We'll continue to perform superlative due diligence on the type of agent or firm applying to be ranked and the volume of business they closed. We know that there are agents and teams who either chose not to be considered for these rankings or who we haven't been able to reach.
