Understanding the RealTrends City Rankings
The RealTrends Verified City Rankings is a relatively new program designed to provide consumers with a clear guide to top real estate professionals in their specific city. The program was launched in 2024, initially covering the top 50 real estate markets in the U.S.
Ranking Program Expansion
In 2025, RealTrends expanded the City Rankings program to be nationwide. It now includes every city within the organization's extensive database, significantly increasing the scope and local relevance of the rankings. This move aims to make performance data accessible to consumers in smaller and mid-sized markets, not just major metropolitan areas.
The primary goal of the rankings is to help homebuyers and sellers easily identify experienced and successful agents in their immediate area. Unlike some industry awards, the City Rankings do not have minimum performance thresholds. However, inclusion is limited to professionals who practice real estate on a full-time basis.
This criterion ensures that the list reflects agents who are fully dedicated to the profession, providing a more reliable measure for consumers seeking expert representation in their real estate transactions.
