The overall 2019 SP200 ranks the most powerful leaders in the residential real estate brokerage industry as of December 31, 2018, with adjustments made only for the major leadership announcements made after that date and before this release on January 15, 2019. To rank the leaders eight (8) different criteria were reviewed and can be seen here.

We spotted three familiar faces. Congrats to Chad Ochsner, Scott Webber and Steve Murray!

He is also extensively involved in many brokerage mergers and acquisitions.


These rankings (SP200) are of the leaders in our industry and is not a company ranking. Size and sales volume listed are shared for framing of the person listed. Note that 2017 numbers are used as those are the only available across the board for all companies. Most companies have not completed their 2018 financials and our official company and brokerage rankings (MEGA 1000) will be published in April/May 2019 after financial and audits have been completed.
