Of all the industry awards real estate advisors may earn in a year, one comes with extra excitement.

 

Each year, a firm called RealTrends Verified ranks the top individuals, teams and brokerages in the United States. The company, launched in 1987, bases its various rankings on sales data that is independently verified, which is why folks in the real estate world anxiously await the results.

 

No surprise: Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty always has advisors who make the rankings. (That’s just how it is at the most famous luxury brokerage in North Texas.) The new Best Real Estate Agents rankings were just released this morning by RealTrends and the following Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty agents and teams landed spots on that prestigious list. Many of them are returning honorees — even more impressive when you consider that there are about 1.5 million licensed agents in the U.S. and about 150,000 in Texas. That puts our experts at the very top of the industry — which they prove every single day.

 

Here are the 2025 honorees from Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, earning RealTrends Verified awards in both the Top Agent and Top Team categories, and ranked by both total sales volume and total transaction sides (meaning one side of a real estate transaction, either the buyer side or the seller side):
