The time has come to highlight game-changing real estate professionals who adhered to the gold standard of brilliance in 2024. RealTrends Verified has opened the submissions period for its 2025 rankings, alongside a series of big-time enhancements.
This year’s rankings mark a new chapter in the journey for RealTrends Verified — and real estate professionals won’t want to miss out.
RealTrends Verified first arrived on scene in March 2024 as the first dual-verified real estate sales performance platform that highlights brokerages, agents and teams that deserve to stand out among their peers. The platform is a rebrand of RealTrends — a platform with 35 years of excellence behind it. In 2025, the platform will offer a slew of upgrades designed to empower professionals, enhance local brand visibility for agents and highlight industry-leading talent.
The platform analyzes individual performance data to highlight the top 1.5% of real estate professionals. Users can also download a complete list of 28,000 professionals, along with their transactions and sales volumes, as well as state-level rankings via a spreadsheet.
“This is going to be the brand’s biggest year ever. And I don’t say that lightly, because RealTrends Verified has been around for several decades — leading the industry verifying and ranking the top real estate professionals nationwide,” said Nate Smoyer, director of real estate program growth at HousingWire.
“Whether you’re a leader at a brokerage, run a real estate team or you’re an individual agent, RealTrends Verified is the place to showcase your accomplishments. This is the year to be part of RealTrends Verified whether you’re submitting for the rankings this year or you’re looking to partner up.”
Major platform enhancements on the horizon
The RealTrends Verified brand is adopting a series of upgrades in 2025 — all of which are aimed at enhancing trust and quality.
The brand’s website received a major facelift, featuring an all-new design and layout that was developed to enhance the user experience and visually represent professional rankings, resources and industry insights in a new, streamlined way.
But that isn’t the half of it. Ranked agents, teams and brokerages also benefit from upgraded branding, verification badges and marketing assets that truly set them apart. RealTrends Verified also increased its data capacity for more comprehensive rankings.
This new technology empowers the platform to analyze, measure and appropriately rank brokerages, teams and agents with better accuracy than ever before.
How can agents and teams benefit in 2025?
RealTrends Verified agents and teams offers more than rankings and a better user experience.
Ranked agents can now purchase promotional packages that include several co-branded assets. These include custom badges, graphics for agents seeking a better social media presence, trophies that solidify a professional’s top-ranked status and more.
Additionally, year-round recognition on all ranking levels — including national, state and city rankings — is another key benefit. Professionals ranked on the national and state levels will also be eligible for city rankings for the first time.
What makes RealTrends Verified important?
RealTrends Verified maintains its spot as the industry’s go-to place for fully-reviewed, comprehensive rankings that recognize a true state of excellence and high achievement in the real estate industry. With new updates and larger datasets, agents and brokerages will benefit from better visibility at the local level.
“I’m placing my bet that the top performers gained market share in spite of some really challenging market conditions. Excited to celebrate the success of the RealTrends Verified brokerages, agents and teams!” one industry professional said.
With new upgrades and growing excitement, this year’s rankings are sure to change things for the long term. Stay tuned for more updates.
