BAM’s Key Details:

  • Every year, T3 Sixty releases T3 Top 5 rankings, which list the nation’s five largest real estate enterprise companies, brokerages, franchise brands and franchisees.
  • Rankings are determined by sales volume for 2022 and calculated against NAR’s existing home sales data. 

Yesterday, the T3 Top 5 rankings were released, showcasing the largest real estate enterprises, brokerages, franchise brands and franchisees. 

And while 2022 was a challenging year in real estate—NAR reported a 9% year-over-year decline in home sales— we all know there were plenty of transactions to complete. 

Two companies who made the list stood out to T3 Sixty chairman Stefan Swanepoel, as each was able to show a significant increase in their sales volume during a time when most saw declines. 

The majority of companies listed saw year-over-year declines in production and volume, some almost exactly matching the nationwide market decline. But the notable exceptions, including eXp and the top franchisee, RE/MAX Gold, Representing Gold Nation, showed massive increases despite this market downturn. We applaud everyone who has made the T3 Top 5 rankings in 2023 and look forward to tracking and analyzing their progress.
