RealTrends + Tom Ferry The Thousand names 2023 Compass California and Hawaii Honorees

We are delighted to recognize and celebrate the exceptional agents and teams representing Compass on this year’s WSJ RealTrends + Tom Ferry The Thousand list! These individuals and groups consistently demonstrate a strong drive to exceed expectations on behalf of their clients and bring a distinctive passion and enthusiasm to their local communities.

The RealTrends + Tom Ferry The Thousand, prominently featured in The Wall Street Journal, is an annual national awards ranking sponsored by RealTrends and Tom Ferry International coaching. This prestigious list acknowledges the highest-performing real estate professionals and teams based on transaction sides and sales volume.

As in previous years, the methodology of the list invited submissions from past qualifiers, national real estate brands, brokerage firms ranked on the RealTrends 500 and Nation’s Best, as well as local and state Associations of Realtors®. All reported production is derived from closed residential sales in the previous calendar year, encompassing off-market listings while excluding leases or commercial sales. The sales data may encompass various markets beyond the primary office location of the agent or team. Real Trends ensured verification from an independent third party for each sales professional and team.

We take immense pleasure in congratulating the honored individuals and teams, whose names are listed below.

Compass Named #1 Brokerage in San Francisco and Los Angeles 

The Real Deal Recognized Compass As the Leading Brokerage in California’s Two Largest Metros 

Compass is honored to be named by The Real Deal as the number one brokerage by sales volume in two of the country’s most premier West Coast markets: San Francisco and Los Angeles. 

Compiled by The Real Deal’s data and research team, the list ranks Compass San Francisco as having the biggest share of San Francisco residential transactions across the county bringing in $5.8 billion in volume across more than 3,200 home sales between March 2022 and March 2023. In Los Angeles, Compass dominates the brokerage rankings with almost triple the on-market output for the county compared to the second-ranked brokerage. 

“We are able to attract the most eyeballs on our listings, share market data and resources with fellow agents and keep better tabs on the pulse of the market,” said Kevin Patsel, Compass’ regional vice president for Northern California. “Inventory is shared internally amongst agents before it hits the general market and deals are often done before a property hits the market.”

“When I started in 2017 there were 600 agents,” said Parker Beatty, Compass’ regional vice president for California and Hawaii. “Now there’s around 2,800. 

“We have an amalgamation of incredible agents. It’s not a one-person operation,” Beatty continued.

We congratulate our outstanding Northern California and Southern California agents for their continued success and unmatched service across the country’s Golden State!

“Compass leads the pack with nearly $6B in sales volume over the past year.”

Compass claimed by far the biggest share of San Francisco residential transactions, according to data compiled by The Real Deal, handling $5.8 billion in volume across more than 3,200 home sales between March 2022 and March 2023.”

“From Malibu to Long Beach — and virtually everywhere in between — there’s no question as to which brokerage rules Los Angeles County.

National giant Compass, which arrived on the West Coast less than a decade ago, brokered more than $18 billion worth of home sales in the nation’s most populous county over the past year — almost triple the output of its closest rival.”
