"A total of 1,267 firms met RealTrends Verified standards this year, with each closing at least 500 transaction sides or $350 million in sales volume. Together, these brokerages accounted for $2.24 trillion in volume and 3.94 million transactions, underscoring just how concentrated production remains among the industry's top performers."
"At the top of the brokerage rankings, stability reigns. Compass, prior to its acquisition of Anywhere, once again led all firms in sales volume at $262.2 billion, while eXp Realty retained its hold on the No. 1 spot for transaction sides with 343,091."
"The largest brokerages are not just holding their positions - they're reinforcing them. But if the top four feel locked in, the gap behind them is starting to narrow."
