The Real Estate Top 200
Advertisement
As any of the agents whose names appear in the following lists can tell you, a key to success in real estate is understanding numbers within the context of other numbers.
In determining the value of a house on Maple Street, for instance, an agent is likely to take into account previous transactions on Maple Street. By considering the value of the house within the context of other houses, an agent can better understand exactly what he or she is dealing with.
The same can be said of this Top 200 list. To understand exactly whom we're dealing with -- to understand just how elite the agents listed here are -- it is important to consider context.
According to the Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) there are over 1.35 million real estate agents registered in the United States. While all of them, surely, are not full-time, practicing agents, the figure is nonetheless important to consider.
Listed here, in four groups of 50, are residential real estate's elite -- agents who are easily in the top one percent of the top one percent of real estate professionals in America.
The Wall Street Journal, in conjunction with REAL Trends, is pleased to honor these dedicated men and women.
