Every year, RealTrends chooses GameChangers based on five-year, transaction side percentage data from the RealTrends 500. This year, we chose three public independent brokerage firms, four private independents and 11 franchises who grew their businesses at astronomical rates.
Whether through mergers and acquisitions, recruiting, or more times than not, a combination of the two, these brokerages are growing at record speeds in areas all over the country.
This year, we categorized them by public independent, private independent and franchise brokerages.
Several firms have received the GameChanger award for multiple year — eXp Realty, Compass and Fathom Holdings in the public independent category. Lamacchia Realty, all in the independent category.
In the franchise category, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Premier, RE/MAX Precision, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty and Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate The Good Life Group are repeat GameChangers.
For the next few weeks, we’ll be featuring our GameChangers in podcasts and company profiles on the RealTrends site.
