The US’s 1000 largest brokerages accounted for nearly 60 percent of total residential sales volume in 2021
LADERA RANCH, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 28, 2022
T3 Sixty, a real estate management consulting and analytics firm, has released its 2022 Mega 1000, an annual ranking of the nation’s 1,000 largest brokerages by sales volume, transaction sides and agent count. The report reveals that this cohort of brokerages accounted for nearly 60 percent of the nation’s residential sales volume in 2021.
The 59.2 percent of the nation’s total sales volume that the U.S.’s 1,000 largest brokerages accounted for in 2021 represents a growth of 13.4 percent in market share from the year previous (market share is determined using Mega 1000 data and existing home sales data as reported by NAR). That’s approximately double the next highest year-over-year growth in Mega 1000 market share since the report debuted in 2018, when the Mega 1000 market share stood at 44.9 percent.
Companies such as Compass, which moved from No. 3 in 2021 to No. 1 in this report, and eXp Realty, which grew sales volume by 116.2 percent from 2020 to 2021 and No. 4, achieved some of the largest growth over this period. Heavyweights Realogy Brokerage Group and HomeServices of America, No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, also anchored the nation’s largest brokerages. With eXp Realty’s leap, 2021 saw four brokerages top the $100 billion sales volume threshold.
“We are beyond thrilled to continue to move up the Mega 1000 ranks,” said West + Main Homes CEO and Co-Founder Stacie Staub. “As always, we have our agents, our clients, and every single person who continues to trust and support West + Main with their Real Estate business.”
”From Number 970 in 2019 to Number 274 this year, we’re so excited to break into the Top 300,” said Company COO and Co-Founder Madeline Linder. “Our staff continues to create systems that scale, so that we can love on our people every day and give them everything they need to attract, nurture and deliver during transactions. It’s such an honor to lead this group.”
