RISMEDIA, May 14, 2013–Prudential Georgia Realty was recently recognized by RISMedia as one the top real estate firms in America. The RISMedia Top 500 Power Broker report ranked Prudential Georgia Realty #30 in residential transactions. This is the highest performance for any brokerage in Georgia. Number two on the list of the nation’s largest firms is HomeServices of America Inc. headquartered in Minneapolis, MN with 151,017 transactions and over $42 billion in sales volume for 2012. HomeServices of America Inc., is a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and in March announced the acquisition of Prudential Georgia Realty.
According to RISMedia, this year’s 1,000 Power Brokers collectively amassed $767,983,687,087 in sales volume for 2012 and 2,985,668 in closed transactions. This represents a more than $158 billion increase in sales volume over 2011. While they had expected 2012 to be a transitional year as housing began the gradual process of recovery, these expectations were widely exceeded and many brokers closed the year in much better shape than they had anticipated.
Dan Forsman, President & CEO of Prudential Georgia Realty said “We are honored by these rankings and applaud our associates on their outstanding performance. Our leadership team and sales professionals faced one of the most difficult real estate markets in the nation during the great recession. We saw this as both a challenge and an opportunity. Our team worked very closely with our agents to help them weather the storm and transform their businesses. We made strategic investments in marketing, technology, coaching, training and support services that made our agents more valuable to their clients. Now that the market is improving, our agents are in a great position for the future.”
