March 2019 Mega 1000: The real estate industry’s most comprehensive, accurate brokerage and fran- chise rankings are here HomeServices of America, Compass, eXp Realty and Sotheby’s reach new highs, while NRT, Keller Williams Realty and Realogy retain top slots SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA – April 2, 2019 – T3 Sixty, the residential real estate brokerage industry’s lead- ing consulting and research firm, has released its second annual Mega 1000, het real estate industry’s definitive ranking of brokerages, franchisors and holding companies. The second annual Mega 1000, available now at mega1000.com, provides the industry the most comprehensive and accurate, information it needs to make informed, smart decisions. The report ranks the nation’s top 1,000 brokerages, its top 20 franchisors and its top 20 holding companies by annual sales volume, transaction sides and agent count. T3 Sixty uses sales volume as its lead ranking criteria because it is the core metric used to calculate agent commissions, franchise fees and company revenue, and therefore reflects a compa- ny’s overall strength. Unlike other industry lists, T3 Sixty is determined to include all of the nation’s largest companies, whether they partici- pate in official annual surveys or not. For example, on the 2019 Mega 1000, readers will find Redfin (No. 5 on the Mega 1000 brokerage list), Weichert Realtors (No. 7 on the Mega 1000 brokerage list), Realty One Group (No. 9 on the Mega 1000 brokerage list), Windermere Real Estate Services (No. 7 on the Mega 1000 franchisor list) and Realogy (No. 1 on the Mega 1000 holding company list), all companies that do not generally appear on rankings by other firms. “Without the best data available, assumptions and decisions are flawed before they’re even made,” said T3 Sixty CEO Stefan Swanepoel. “The Mega 1000 is committed to provide the most accurate and complete information possible,” Swanepoel added. Highlights from the 2019 Mega 1000 NRT LLC once again tops the brokerage leadership board based on the most important measurement criteria – sales volume – with 2018 annual sales of $176.3 billion, 29.7 percent more than Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary HomeServices of America’s (HSA) $135.9 billion. HSA did, however, close the gap significantly in 2018, narrowing it from $52.7 billion to $40.4 billion. When looking at 2018 transaction count, HSA’s 346,629 transaction sides narrowly edged out NRT’s 336,806 sides to give HSA the top spot based on sides. The brokerage category’s big story, however, is 7-year-old Compass’ huge jump from No. 9 on the 2018 Mega 1000 list to No. 3 in 2019; the relative newcomer edged out 107-year-old Douglas Elliman, which held the No. 3 slot on the 2018 Mega 1000. The industry leaderboard, and its year-to-year changes, confirms which companies and business models are gaining traction, and which maintain enormous sales volumes and market share. The largest risers among the nation’s 20 largest brokerages are eXp Realty, which shot up 236 percent from No. 23 in 2018 to No. 9 in 2019 on sales volume and No 4 based on transactions sides and Compass, whose annual sales volume shot up 225 percent to $45.5 billion on the back of huge acquisitions. The latter numbers do not yet even reflect Com- pass’ March 2019 acquisition of Alain Pinel Realtors (itself a sales volume of over $12 billion in 2018). Family-run giants Weichert Realtors (No. 7) and Howard Hanna Real Estate (No. 8) remain solidly in the top 10 with estimated 2018 annual sales of $19.0 billion and $16.9 billion, respectively (both these number exclude their franchise divisions; Howard Hann’s numbers don’t reflect the purchase of Allan Tate ealtors,R which closed in early 2019. On the Franchisor side, Keller Williams Realty nearly doubled its annual sales volume lead over Re/Max in 2019; this after taking the franchisor crown from Re/Max in 2018. No. 3 Coldwell Banker nudged slightly closer to Re/Max. However, if Canada sales volume were included, Re/Max remains North America’s largest real estate brand. At No. 5, Sotheby’s International Realty narrowly passed $100 billion in annual sales volume nudging into the top 5 slot for the first time in the company’s history. Many of these franchisors also have major global footprints, which are not reflected in these stats. The Mega 1000 also includes membership rosters and other key information on the industry’s largest real estate net- works: Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, The Realty Alliance, Cartus and luxury network, Christie’s Interna- tional Real Estate. Mega 1000’s breadth and comprehensiveness makes it the new standard for real estate company analysis. Access it at mega1000.com.

  • ADDENDUM to COVER STORY: After the May 16 Issue of Real
    ADDENDUM TO COVER STORY: After the May 16 issue of Real Estate Technology News went to press, we received additional information regarding court testimony from GAC’s non-compete lawsuit against five former IT workers from its GATORS division and their new employer Lenders First Choice. In the sidebar on p. 3 of this issue, “Rumors surround GATORS’ fate,” we include information from the affidavit of one of the former employees, Norm Gottschalk, in which he claimed he met with GAC President Rich Snedden at a café in Pittsburgh in late 2005. According to his statement, he, fellow GATORS team member Chris Behning and Snedden discussed possible outsourcing of GAC’s software development to India and/or phasing out GATORS. Gottschalk claimed that Snedden told Behning that he should update his resume and have a contingency employment plan in place for 2006. However, according to recently obtained testimony, Snedden claimed that the comment about updating the resumes was a joke among friends, as Behning and Gottschalk were also joking about not being able to approve a purchase over $2,500 without appropriate signatures because they were now owned by Fiserv. He said the conversation took place over a holiday drink, and GAC’s Kevin McCarthy, Bill Stevens and Randy Ruff were also present.

    Episode 15: DANGER Report: Looking Back & Moving Forward Let's be honest – REALTORS® face an ever-changing industry. With emerging tech, growing trends, and a booming market, it’s vital to keep up. Join me, Gilbert Gonzalez, CEO for the San Antonio Board of REALTORS®, as I get real with experts on what REALTORS® need to know in this industry. It's time to Get Real. GG (00:23): A few years ago, NAR commissioned a report from real estate consultant, Stefan Swanepoel, which details 50 threats, risks, and challenges that real estate industry is facing today or could face in the near future. T3 Sixty is an advisory and management consultancy offering real estate consulting, trends research and analysis in residential real estate. With us today is Clint Skutchan, VP of Organized Real Estate with T3 Sixty. So, thank you for joining us, Clint. CS (00:49): Oh my pleasure. Thanks for having me. GG (00:51): Even though the initial report came out in 2015, it uncovered a lot of threats and opportunities in the industry that were still very relevant today and is interesting to see how things have progressed over the years. We're six years into it, and what predictions may have been fulfilled, which is what we want to talk about today. So, I wanted to start with some basics around the report. DANGER stands for Definitive Analysis of Negative Game-changers Emerging in Real Estate. And its goal was to help every brokerage, MLS and association think through some fundamental threats and changes that may be coming to the real estate industry.
