Hello Executives!

This has been an incredible year for our brokerages, sales Executives, and affiliate partners. Our achievements did not happen by chance, but rather through perseverance, hard work, experience, and leadership.

am proud to announce that our network’s sales productivity once again ranked us as the second-best national, full-service brokerage brand, surpassing competitors such as Compass, EXP, HomeSmart, Keller Williams, and Realty One Group.

Other notable accomplishments during the year include steady growth in our luxury program, Realty Executives Collection, the launch of our TV commercial and sales campaign through our Adwerx partnership, expansion into key markets like Nashville and Green Bay, the creation of a new Realty Executives Certified Concierge Expert program with nearly 300 registrants, and a sold-out, in-person Realty Executives Annual Conference that received high praise from attendees.

In the real estate industry, change is the only constant. We face a shifting market going into 2023 as we move from the euphoria of these last two years of sales “flying off the shelves” fueled by historically low mortgage rates. The headlines appear to be ominous with mortgage rates rising to over 7% and the buyer and seller markets being at an impasse when determining to pull the trigger on listing and buying decisions.

However, this is where the Realty Executives network excels. Our Executives leverage experience, a deep knowledge base, and the power of our network to provide truly professional real estate services to prospects and clients. We have witnessed the decline of those without the necessary fundamentals be a full-service real estate brokerage and professional. Realty Executives has weathered eight significant recessions over our 57-year history and will continue to do so by making decisions that support the success of our Executives and the stability and health of our brand.

The secret to our success at Realty Executives is the sum of our parts. We are in this for the long-game, and am excited to see what we can accomplish together in 2023!
