DENVER, June 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RE/MAX has more of the nation's top agents than any other brand, according to the 15th Annual REAL Trends "The Thousand" rankings. RE/MAX agents have claimed the most rankings in The Thousand for five out of the last seven years. Of the 1,000 rankings based on transaction sides and sales volume, RE/MAX agents claimed 136 – more than any other brand.

"Delivering unmatched value to homebuyers and sellers is the core of our business," said Adam Contos, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. "Leading all brands in the number of transaction side and sales volume rankings speaks to the unrivaled professionalism and expertise of the RE/MAX agent. The real estate agent is the most important part of the real estate transaction and seeing our agents recognized time and time again as top producers in The Thousand says a lot about their passion, focus and perseverance."

Among the 505 participating individuals and teams closing the most residential transaction sides, 111 (22%) were RE/MAX agents. RE/MAX agents have earned the highest number of rankings for most transaction sides for seven years from 2014-2020. In the category for transaction sides sold by individuals, each of the 45 qualifying RE/MAX agents sold at least 10 times as many homes as the agent median of 11* reported by the National Association of Realtors. Two of the qualifying RE/MAX agents finished in the top 15.

REAL Trends added eight new categories to The Thousand rankings this year for a total of 12 categories. Six of the categories are for the top 500 producers by transaction sides and the other six categories are for the 500 top producers by sales volume. The six categories are: individual producers, individuals who own their brokerage, teams who own their brokerage, and teams of three sizes: 2-5 agents, 6-10 and 11 or more.
