2019 Most Powerful People In Residential Real Estate

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!

#48 Chad Ochsner | CEO of RE/MAX ALLIANCE and RE/MAX EQUITY

Ochsner oversees Colorado's largest privately-owned real estate company, Re/Max Alliance and Re/Max Equity, which, combined, have 1,300 agents across Colorado and Oregon who do nearly 18,000 annual transaction sides and over $7.4 billion in annual sales.

#49 Scott Webber, CEO of LIV Sothebys

Through several acquisitions, Webber has built three different Sotheby's International Realty companies: Summit, Sierra and LIV. The combined companies include 30 offices and over 700 real estate agents who closed more than $6 billion in 2017.

#109 Steve Murray, CEO of REAL TRENDS

Murray serves as president and editor of Real Trends, which he co-founded in 1987. The firm publishes productivity rankings of the nation's top brokerages, teams and agents, and hosts the annual Gathering of Eagles conference. 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.
