The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP®) has released its eighth annual Top 250 Latino Agents Report, recognizing outstanding Latino real estate agents and teams from around the country. This year’s report, sponsored by Zillow, includes rankings of top millennial agents, top individual agents by volume, top Latino teams and top agents by major market regions, representing over $6.67 billion in combined sales volume in 2018.
“Latinos account for more than 50 percent of new homeowners nationwide, and highly skilled Latino agents have the inside track in serving this burgeoning segment,” says 2019 NAHREP President David Acosta. “Having had the privilege of being ranked in the top 10 of this elite group multiple years, I can attest that achieving the level of results seen in this report is simply incredible. It demonstrates that those who commit to being full-time professionals, develop their skills, attend trainings and invest in themselves can build meaningful businesses and succeed beyond expectations.”
