Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties Agents Ranked Among Nation’s Top 1,000 REALTORS®

San Diego, CA, July 19, 2015 --(PR.com)-- A significant number of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties agents and teams have been ranked in the top one-half of 1 percent of more than 1,100,000 REALTORS® nationwide in the 10th annual “The Thousand,” a prestigious list of America’s top 1,000 real estate sales professionals. The designees were compiled through surveys conducted by REAL Trends Inc., a leading source of analysis and information for the residential real estate brokerage industry, and published in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal.

“Our agents’ award-winning efforts were nothing short of phenomenal,” said David M. Cabot, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “Being ranked in REAL Trends ‘The Thousand’ is an incredible accomplishment.

“The national average for agents and teams is fewer than 10 closed transactions and less than $1.2 million in closed volume each. Our top achievers did more than 20 times that amount, which is a testament to their extraordinary levels of professionalism.”

Agents and teams from among Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties’ 60 Southern California offices placed in the following categories on the 2015 “The Thousand” list:

· Top 250 for Individual Agent’s Sales Volume
· Top 250 for Agent Teams’ Sales Volume
· Top 250 for Individual Agent’s Average Sale Price
· Top 250 for Agent Teams’ Average Sales Price

The full list of designees by category is on the brokerage’s blog. The complete list of all national designees is at www.realtrends.com.

“These leading real estate sales professionals have shown that in up markets, down markets and flat markets, they know how to grow and prosper. 2014 was actually a down year in unit sales, yet these top-performing sales agents and teams increased their business and their market share,” said Steve Murray, publisher of REAL Trends “The Thousand.”
