"Those individual agents and teams who make up the 2020 America's Best Real Estate Professionals represent only about 1.5% of all Realtors® in the country yet account for over 10% of the closed transactions and more than 16% of all the sales volume closed last year," says Murray.

"The average Realtor did fewer than nine transactions and $2.4 million in volume in the same year," he says. "It's incredible to consider that such a small number of real estate professionals have found a way to build their businesses. These top performers are reaching new levels while they work with different kinds of brokerage firms and regions of the country."
