PLAINFIELD, Ill., May 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals, a locally owned and operated RE/MAX franchise by Kathy McCauley-Dames and Shannon Simotes, was nationally recognized by qualifying for the annual REAL Trends 500 survey. The REAL Trends 500 ranks the performance of the top residential real estate brokerage firms in the country. Brokerages needed to close a minimum of 500 transaction sides in 2020 to qualify.
When ranking qualifying brokerages by average agent transaction sides, RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals was # 33 with 31.1 transaction sides in 2020.* RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals placed #161 over all for total closed transaction sides. Among the 1,753 brokerages that qualified, 500 (29%) were RE/MAX brokerages—more than any other real estate brand.
"The market in 2020 was fiercely competitive, which made working with an experienced real estate professional more important than ever," said Kathy Dames, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Ultimate Professionals. "We continue to leverage the exclusive tools and technology offered by RE/MAX to give our agents an edge in their business. The result is a superior real estate experience for their clients."

- RE/MAX agents averaged $5.0 million in sales volume, 67% higher than the $3.0 million average of all other agents in the REAL Trends 500 survey. The RE/MAX average was up from $4.5 million in last year's REAL Trends 500.
