The Thousand honors America's finest real estate professionals and their companies and is compiled and analyzed by RealTrends.

Verification from an independent source is required for all submissions. In addition, RealTrends senior staff reviews every submission for completeness and accuracy.
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.
