San Diego, CA – June 24, 2015 – The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) today released its annual report on the Top 250 Latino Agents in the country. For the fourth consecutive year, NAHREP received a record number of applications from top agents across the country competing for a spot on the prestigious list. This year’s report was again distributed in association with Zillow Group.
“While the media continues to report about the dip in homeownership rates and the challenges that new homebuyers are facing with today’s tight credit market, we are proud to acknowledge these hardworking individuals who are making the American dream a reality for thousands of families in hundreds of communities,” said Teresa Palacios Smith, 2015 NAHREP president. “These agents are the engine that is driving Latino homeownership in a sustainable way.”
The Top 250 Latino Agent report represents nearly $4 billion in total transaction volume from agents in 26 states across the nation. It includes profiles of some of the 2015 honorees, along with other interesting data points about this year’s Top 250 Agents. RE/MAX Real Estate was the franchise with the most agents making the list, with 62.
