San Diego, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2017 -- The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP®), in association with Zillow®, released its sixth annual Top 250 real estate agents report recognizing exceptional Latino real estate agents from around the country. With agents hailing from 30 states and Puerto Rico, with aggregate sales of over $6 billion, this year’s report includes a ranking of the top agents by transactions along with supplemental rankings of top millennial agents, top individual agents, and top agents in major market regions including the Northeast, South, West, Midwest, California, and Texas.
"Last year Hispanics accounted for nearly 75 percent of the growth in U.S. homeownership. Those gains are largely due to individuals like the top producers on our list who continue to drive Hispanic homeownership in their local markets," said Leo Pareja, NAHREP President, "They are the gateway to the demographic changes in the housing market and represent the vitality of our industry today and in the future."
