Irvine, CA (PRWEB) May 30, 2014 -- While the real estate market continues to mature into a pattern of long term growth, according to the Real Trends 500 national survey of brokers few major independent brokers had a 2013 like First Team Real Estate.
"Our sales were up by 23% last year placing us in the national top 10 for brokers with just over $5.9 billion in sales," said Rick Brotherton, Vice-President, Marketing for First Team Real Estate. "We are one of the few regionally based brokerages with a top ten national sales position."

In addition, ongoing mentorships and peer led groups involve nearly every senior leader in the company from founder Cameron Merage on down.
"Since our start in 1978, we have made consistent training a core part of our success strategy," explained Brotherton. "At each stage in an agent or real estate professional's career with us they are supported by the rest of our team in their development and growth. That commitment is key to our 2013 success."
Real Trends 500 reported that in 2012, First Team Real Estate was ranked 11th nationally with sales of $4.8 billion. By the end of 2013, those numbers for Southern California's most trusted real estate broker had grown to $5.9 billion, placing First Team in the tenth spot nationally.
