The state of Florida has the highest number of real estate agents in the country, with over 220,000 agents, according to the National Association of Realtors. With so many agents and companies in the state, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. To help with this, USA TODAY, the USA TODAY Network Florida, and market research firm Statista collaborated to create a list of Florida's 500 top-performing real estate offices.
The list, titled "Florida's Best Real Estate Agencies 2024," is based on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data and focuses on key areas such as revenue, price performance, sales volume, and success rate. The list includes several large home builders with their own sales offices for their own developments, such as Lennar and D.R. Horton.
Broward County has the most winners on the list, with 51, followed closely by Hillsborough County with 50. The list can be searched by county and city, and it includes several well-known companies like RE/MAX, Coldwell Banker, Keller Williams, and Berkshire Hathaway.
The Florida housing market remains strong, with single-family sales holding steady over the year and inventory continuing to grow for all types of housing. The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in August was $411,638, down slightly from a year ago.
The real estate industry accounted for $381.4 billion, or 24.1% of the state's gross product in 2023, and the total economic impact of a typical Florida home sale is $123,000. Over 456,000 residential properties have changed hands over the past year.
To find the right Realtor, Florida Realtors suggests asking 10 questions, including how long they have been a Realtor, what neighborhoods they specialize in, and how many homes they helped buy or sell in the past year. It's also important to ask about their schedule and availability, their buying-to-listing ratio, and how they will determine what homes match your wish list.
Overall, the list of Florida's 500 top-performing real estate offices is a valuable resource for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the state. By doing your research and finding the right Realtor, you can ensure a smooth and successful transaction.
