Compiled annually by REAL Trends magazine, it is perhaps the most comprehensive annual comparison of real estate brokerage sales performance.
REAL Trends ranks the top 500 firms nationwide based on both closed transaction sides and closed sales volume during the prior year. It also recognizes all brokerage firms that close at least 500 transaction sides and uses the data it collects to measure brokerage performance in a number of other ways.
Several Chicago-area RE/MAX brokerages were ranked by REAL Trends as among the Top 50 firms nationally in specific performance categories.
RE/MAX Professionals Select of Naperville was ranked 24th in terms of closed transaction sides per associate with an average of 24.4. It also ranked 26th nationally in sales volume per associate.
RE/MAX Synergy of Flossmoor and Orland Park ranked 40th in closed transactions sides per associate, with an average of 21.5. In addition, the firm was among the 50 brokerages recording the largest percentage increase from 2011 to 2012 in both closed transactions and closed sales volume. RE/MAX Synergy was 13th in transactions with an 89 percent gain and 19th in sales volume with a 70 percent increase.
Also ranked in the Top 50 for percentage increase in closed transaction sides was RE/MAX 10, which has offices in Oak Lawn, Palos Heights and Chicago. It ranked 46th with a 45 percent increase.

The 2013 REAL Trends survey underscored the overall strength of RE/MAX nationwide. Associates at RE/MAX brokerages averaged 17.1 transaction sides last year. That figure was more than twice the 7.9 average of all competing agents in the survey. It was also twice as high as the averages posted by national competitors such as Coldwell Banker (8.5), Century 21 (8.2), Prudential (8.1) and Keller-Williams (7.3). When the survey’s top 500 brokerages were ranked by per-agent transaction sides – one of the most meaningful measures of productivity – RE/MAX claimed 40 of the spots on the Top 50 list.
Overall, 118 RE/MAX brokerages qualified to be ranked among the top 500, or nearly 24 percent, a percentage greater than any competitor. RE/MAX agents averaged $3.4 million each in sales volume, which is 60 percent more than the average of all other agents in the survey. Even with their status at the top of the industry, RE/MAX agents improved their performance over the prior year’s survey, closing 13 percent more transaction sides and 12 percent more sales volume.
