"This year's GameChangers are the brokerages that posted the highest transaction-side percentage growth over the five-year period from 2021 to 2025. The list is drawn from RealTrends Verified, which has tracked key measurements in the residential real estate industry since 1987. The RealTrends Verified 500 is the annual ranking of the nation's largest residential brokerage firms by closed transaction sides and closed sales volume. From that ranking, RealTrends identifies the firms that grew the most by transaction-side percentage over a five-year period."
"For 2026, Equity Union Real Estate led the GameChangers list with 239% transaction-side growth, followed by McWilliams/Ballard at 207% and REMAX Premier Realty at 171%. Our growth has been our barometer year after year. We always strive for more while making sure that everyone is involved in that growth, said Jim D'Amico, CEO of Brands by Integra."
"The list arrives at a moment when scale has become one of the industry's dominant themes. Following the three recent large-scale acquisitions mentioned above, market share has grown dramatically for these companies. We are so proud to be on a list of such amazing companies with such incredible growth. Acquisitions have been very good to us for growth but, more importantly, very good to the sellers and agents who joined us in them. So I am happy and grateful, said Anthony Lamacchia, CEO of Lamacchia Companies."
"But the GameChangers list shows that growth is not limited to the largest national players or the companies making the biggest M&A headlines. The firms on the list represent a range of brands, business models and markets. Some are affiliated with national franchise brands. Others are independent or regional players. Their growth stories differ, but the common thread is execution. That has been a consistent theme in RealTrends' analysis of high-growth brokerage firms."
GameChangers are brokerage firms with the highest transaction-side percentage growth over 2021 to 2025. The rankings come from RealTrends Verified, which tracks residential real estate metrics and produces the RealTrends Verified 500 based on closed transaction sides and closed sales volume. From that pool, firms are selected for the largest five-year transaction-side percentage increases. For 2026, Equity Union Real Estate led with 239% growth, followed by McWilliams/Ballard at 207% and REMAX Premier Realty at 171%. Growth is linked to scale and acquisitions, which can expand market share while benefiting sellers and agents. High growth also appears among independent, regional, and franchise-affiliated firms, with execution as a shared driver.
