T3 Top 5 Real Estate Brokerages

Residential real estate brokerages are an essential element in the industry: they provide the legal mechanism for the buying and selling of homes, support agents with company structure and training and collaborate with local competitors to ensure the real estate market remains as healthy and fluid as possible. This section ranks the US’s largest brokerages – the companies who directly own and operate their offices. 

Brokerages offer administrative, operational, marketing, technology, legal and branding and training services to real estate agents who hang their license with them. Agents typically interact directly with consumers who usually recognize brokerages as a corporate or umbrella brand on shopfronts, for sale signs, websites and legal contracts.

The top five brokerages for 2023 are ranked by their full-year 2022 sales volume. Sales volume is calculated against NAR’s existing home sales data. The rest of the Mega 1000 ranking will be available in late April.
