DEFINITION OF A TEAM

Teams Logo

Teams are described as a group of real estate professionals who work as one entity. Only transactions that are listed in the name of the team leader per MLS, purchase contract, or other official records will count toward the team's total.

In order to be considered for this award, the team lead must identify as Hispanic or Latino. It is not a requirement, however, that the entire team be comprised of Hispanic or Latino individuals.

To qualify as a team:

  1. All transactions attributed to the nomination must be closed in the team lead’s name or otherwise include the team name on the official transaction record.
  2. If any licensed agents are supporting transactions and closing in the team’s name (except one transaction coordinator), they are considered a team. This includes husband and wife teams or other small teams.
  3. If a team lead co-lists or co-sells with their team members, full credit for both transaction and volume is awarded to the team lead’s nomination.
  4. Transactions can only be submitted once for this award. Co-team leads can be recognized together, but not separately. Individual team members cannot submit their production if the team lead submits their transactions on behalf of the team.

DEFINITION OF AN INDIVIDUAL

An individual agent is defined as one who closes transactions under their name per MLS, purchase contract, or other official records. Please note that if an agent considers themselves part of a team, yet closes their transactions in their own name, they are eligible to submit themselves as an individual.

To qualify as an individual agent:

  1. All transactions attributed to their nomination must be closed in their own name.
  2. No licensed agents can help them with their transactions, including showing agents. Exception: a transaction coordinator (with or without a license) is considered ok.
  3. If an individual agent co-lists or co-sells with another agent or agents, half (0.5) side is awarded for the transaction, while full volume will be awarded.
  4. Transactions can only be submitted once for this award. An agent cannot be submitted as both a team and an individual agent. If the team lead submits on behalf of the team, individual agents on that team cannot be individually considered for the same transactions (even at half credit).

How are nominations verified?

NAHREP takes all nominations into consideration prior to announcing final results. In addition to broker attestation, sales data submitted is independently verified for accuracy and consistency with reporting methodology in office and by a third party. Please note that transactions in which an agent has co-listed, one half a side will be awarded, while full sales volume will be included.

What do I get if I make a list?

The Top 250 Latino Agents will receive special distinction during NAHREP's Fall Conference, September 14-16, 2026.
