Notes on the Data
All data and rankings are based on sales in the MLS (Realtors’ database of record) and does not include some off-market sales, which make up an unknown volume of some agents’ businesses and is not reflected in the Top 25 lists.
There are some real estate teams that enter all sales under one agent’s name, so in these cases, individual numbers represent the production of many agents rolled into one agent, but I don’t have transparency into that data to parse it. Here’s a link to an article I wrote in 2019 explaining how different agents/teams are structured.
I removed a few agents from the Top 25 list whose business is all in-house sales (for a builder or building).
Does Agent Production Matter to Consumers?
Most studies suggest that consumers are less concerned with measures like sales volume and more focused on the strength of communication and trustworthiness of the agent they’re working with, but market expertise and experience are still important considerations.
Many people see the low barrier to entry for real estate licensing, and the resulting high volume of agents, as a negative, but it also means that you have a lot of choices as a consumer and, with some effort, can make sure that you’re working with somebody who provides the type of service you’re looking for and the experience to match.
