How many Real Estate Professionals are selected for membership to America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®?

In keeping with the name of our organization, only 100 Real Estate Professionals in each region are selected each year for membership among America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®. Regions are determined to ensure that only the Top 1% of Real Estate Professionals are selected within a given region.

Can Real Estate Professionals buy their way into America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®?

No. Real Estate Professionals cannot buy their way into membership. Every Real Estate Agent and/or Broker selected for membership among America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents® must pass through a thorough multi-phase screening process (See Selection Methodology for more information about the selection process).

How are Real Estate Professionals selected for membership to America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®?

Candidates for membership are initially identified and carefully screened through third-party research and analysis involving proprietary algorithms applying multi-criteria decision making methods to create a Pareto efficiency frontier. These algorithms assess a broad array of criteria and data for each candidate, including (but not limited to) the Real Estate Professional’s total yearly sales volume, luxury home sales, efficiency rating for closing sales, lifetime professional experience, client satisfaction ratings, and other notable recognitions, among many other proprietary factors.

The Pareto efficiency frontier created by the analysis of these criteria establishes a measure/rating for each Real Estate Professional that indicates their relative effectiveness in closing high-value sales in comparison to other Real Estate Professionals in their region. Through advanced data analytics, the most efficient and effective Real Estate Professional among the community are then identified for selection among America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®. See Selection Methodology for more information about the selection process.

Why wasn’t I selected for membership to America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents® this year?

All Real Estate Professionals selected for America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents® each year must pass through a thorough multi-phase screening process. If you were not selected this year, it means that either (1) you were not among the Top 100 Real Estate Professionals in your region based on the comprehensive criteria of our multi-phase screening process and data analytics [See Selection Methodology for more information about the selection process], or (2) our third-party candidate research did not locate enough public information and data about you, your real estate sales, and your other professional accomplishments in order for a complete analysis to be conducted. If you believe that a mistake has been made and your sales efficiency rating should qualify you for selection, you may email data regarding your sales for the past 24 months so that we may verify if any new information is contained therein that might change your ranking among the Top 100 in your region. Such inquiries can be sent to membership@top100realestateagents.com.

Given that less than one percent (1%) of Real Estate Professionals in the United States will be selected each year for membership among America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®, there are certain to be many great, well-respected Real Estate Professionals who are not selected among the 100 for their region each year. We apologize if you believe you should have been selected for membership, but have not been selected. Ultimately, selection for any award, honor, or exclusive membership organization is always subjective in nature, as the underlying data can often be subjective, but we have developed a comprehensive multi-phase selection process with sophisticated proprietary algorithms and data analytics in an effort to ensure the most objective and balanced selection process possible.

Can I nominate a Real Estate Professional I believe is deserving of membership to America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®?

Yes. You can nominate a Real Estate Professional for any region by emailing us their information and any data you are aware of that would support their selection. Such emails should be sent to membership@top100realestateagents.com. While we appreciate the nomination of deserving Real Estate Professionals in order to help bring them to our attention, anyone nominated must still pass through the same rigorous multi-phase research and screening process to determine if they rank high enough to merit selection to America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents®. See Selection Methodology for more information about the selection process.

If any Real Estate Professional who was selected for membership returns their Acceptance Form after the due date indicated in their selection letter and after all 100 spaces for membership in their region have been filled by other qualified Real Estate Professionals, then they will have forfeited their membership among America’s Top 100 Real Estate Agents® for that year and their membership dues will be returned to them.
