“The A-List represents more than a set of rankings – it’s a celebration of the drive and talent we have within AREAA and the impact we make on the industry, buyers and sellers,” said AREAA President Jamie Tian. “These agents and teams are helping to build and strengthen communities and support their clients in achieving the American Dream of homeownership. Their work elevates the visibility and voice of AREAA, and we’re extremely proud to recognize their success.”

The A-List was developed using these criteria:

  • RealTrends Verified identified honorees by cross-tabulating AREAA membership with those on its RealTrends Verified list
  • AREAA allowed for individual submissions, allowing individual agents who are AREAA members and generated at least 25 transaction sides or $10 million in sales volume in 2024 to be recognized. 
  • Teams needed at least 40 transaction sides or $16 million in sales volume to be included. The team lead must be an AREAA member.
