My good friend, Brian Block, whipped out his calculator yesterday and did some simple math using figures from RISMedia and the Power Broker Survey. If you doubt his work, check out this month’s REAL ESTATE magazine, published by RISMedia.
Here is just a little tidbit from Brian’s blog:
RE/MAX Allegiance is ranked #22 in the country by total sales volume with sales of $2,598,955,784.
RE/MAX Allegiance transacted this volume of sales with a total of just 657 agents in 23 offices. We’re not a small company by any measure, but let’s look at some other numbers.
Every single brokerage that sold more real estate than RE/MAX Allegiance had more agents. The next smallest company ranking ahead of ours in sales volume had over 1,100 agents.
Sure, some of the companies ranked ahead of us in sales volume had mega amounts of sales, but consider the following.
Long & Foster Real Estate had a sales voume of $21,779,927,000. That’s over 8X as much volume as RE/MAX Allegiance. However, Long & Foster has almost 19X as many agents at 12,405 total agents.
That means the average Long & Foster agent sold $1,755,737 of real estate in 2009 while the average RE/MAX Allegiance agent sold $3,955,792.
And, since I know you were wondering… the top Keller Williams brokerage on this list — Keller Williams Realty in Dallas with 12 offices and 1,578 agents — sold a total of $2,129,074,428 in sales volume or an average of $1,349,223.
BOTTOM LINE: With almost $4 million in sales for 2009, the average RE/MAX Allegiance agent is anything but average!
