The 2025 RealTrends Verified Broker Rankings reveal that leading brokerages like eXp Realty and Compass continue to excel amid challenging market conditions. eXp Realty maintains the top position by transaction sides but experienced a slight decline in numbers. Compass, with a significant increase in sales volume, is driven by a strong focus on empowering agents. Other notable firms such as The Real Brokerage and LPT Realty have achieved remarkable growth rates, indicating a broader trend of innovation and adaptation in the real estate industry to secure market share and support agents effectively.
In an exclusive interview with HousingWire, The Real Brokerage CEO Tamir Poleg emphasized the importance of tech innovation, stating, "We still have a long runway before we get to the point of plateauing in our growth." His focus is on creating a major industry player through innovative technology rather than merely improving existing business models.
Compass CEO Robert Reffkin shared insights into the company's approach, asserting, "Agents are our clients, and we work for them, not the other way around. We exist to give them an edge with their clients and will continue to invest in programs, offerings, and technology that help them."
eXp Realty CEO Glenn Sanford noted the company's consistent performance, stating, "Our ability to grow despite industry changes shows the strength of our value proposition and the commitment of our agents. We will continue to refine this to maintain our leading position in the market."
