MORE THAN 220 AGENTS AND TEAMS ARE RECOGNIZED ON THE ASIAN REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA’S 2024 A-LIST

List of Top Producers is Headlined by William Lublin, Christopher Karas, the Scofield Group and Kinetic Real Estate

San Diego, Calif. (September 23, 2024) – The Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) today released its annual A-List which recognized 157 individual real estate agents and 68 teams for outstanding production in 2023. The A-List honorees, all AREAA members, generated $9.85 billion in sales volume on 10,214 transaction sides in 2023. The top 50 agents and 25 teams will be honored at the AREAA National Convention on October 24-26 in Las Vegas.

The list of real estate agents and teams on the A-List was produced this year by RealTrends Verified

William Lublin of CENTURY 21 Advantage Gold in Philadelphia generated 351 sides in 2023 to lead all individual sales professionals on the A-List. He was listed 11th in the nation on the RealTrends Verified list. Stephanie Vitacco (144.3) with Equity Union in Encino, Calif., Meghan O Clarkson (104) with Long & Foster Real Estate, in Chincoteague Island, Va., Magda Esola (98) with Brookline Homes in Concord, N.C., and Johnny Rojas (80) with CENTURY 21 Jr Gold Team Realty in Garfield, N.J., rounded out the list’s top five individual sales professionals. 

Christopher Karas of Compass in Scottsdale, Ariz., generated $286.7 million in 2023 volume to lead the A-List. He was 24th on the RealTrends Verified list. Diana Zhang ($217.4 million) with Brown Harris Stevens in New York, N.Y., was second, followed by last year’s top overall producer in volume, Tracy Allen ($200.6 million) with Coldwell Banker Realty in Honolulu, Hawaii. Vitacco ($169.9 million), and Michele Schuler ($72.6 million) with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty in Bellevue, Wash. 

Kirby Scofield’s Scofield Group of LPT Realty in Las Vegas, Nevada, led the team closed sides list with 360. Kinetic Real Estate of Daly City, Calif., led by Kevin Cruz, was second with 318 followed by Judy Cuong’s Portfolio Real Estate in Elk Grove, Calif., the Luxury Collective, led by Eric Delgado of Keller Williams in Encino-Sherman Oaks, Calif. (242.2) and Danielle Moy’s Moy Group (242.1) of @Properties in Orland Park, Ill. 

Kinetic Real Estate earned top honors in sales volume, generating $300.9 million in 2023. The next four highest earners in sales volume were Moya Skillman’s Team Foster Skillman ($268.1 million) of Compass in Bellevue, Wash., the Luxury Collective ($190.1 million), Melissa Sofia’s The Avenue Home Collective ($188.3 million) in San Diego, Calif., and Michael Ramos’ Momentum Realty ($163.1 million) in San Francisco, Calif. 

“The A-List offers the perfect snapshot of how influential the AANHPI community is within the real estate industry,” said AREAA President Jamie Tian. “When you’re in the trenches, working with consumers every day, it’s easy to forget how much we accomplish as a greater community. This list is the perfect tool to shine a light on that. Each and every member of our organization on this list is a proponent of professionalism in real estate and we’re proud to congratulate their effort and dedication to the cause.”

The A-List was developed using these criteria:

  • RealTrends Verified identified honorees by cross-tabulating AREAA membership with those on its RealTrends Verified + Tom Ferry America’s Best Real Estate Professionals list
  • AREAA allowed for individual submissions allowing individual agents who generated at least 15 transaction sides or $6 million in sales volume in 2023 to be recognized. 
  • Teams needed at least 25 transaction sides and $9 million in sales volume. The team lead must be an AREAA member.

The top 50 individual agents and teams are listed below. The full A-List is available by clicking here
