T3 Sixty's Mega 1000 shows younger brokerages edging out older incumbents
LADERA RANCH, Calif., April 25, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The 2023 Mega 1000, the most comprehensive and accurate analysis of U.S. brokerages, reveals that for the first time, half of the brokerages in the top 20 by sales volume were founded after the year 2000. The rankings also show that the brokerages with No. 1 rankings in each category were founded in the modern era:
- Largest Brokerage by Sales Volume: Compass (founded 2012)
- Largest Brokerage by Transaction Sides: eXp Realty (founded 2009)
- Largest Brokerage by Agent Count: eXp Realty (founded 2009)
Compiled and released by the real industry's leading management consulting firm, T3 Sixty, the Mega 1000 analyzes residential real estate brokerages by annual U.S. sales volume, transaction sides and agent count.
"It's incredible to see these relatively new companies – Compass and eXp Realty – own the top three slots of the rankings, and companies like Peerage, At World Properties and HomeSmart firmly in the top 10 by sales volume," said Jack Miller, president and CEO of T3 Sixty.
