Santa Clarita Real Estate Companies: How Do They Stack Up?

Real Estate Magazine's April 2008 edition features the 2008 Power Broker Report, which includes sales activity for Santa Clarita's local real estate companies. The 2008 Power Broker Report shows RE/MAX of Santa Clarita (Valencia) clearly on top in terms of total transactions (sales) per agent. This information is compiled from surveys submitted voluntarily by each office.

RE/MAX of Santa Clarita (Valencia) came out on top in the Number of Sales Per Agent at 8.66 sales per agent, which is the most important number to consider when selecting a Realtor to represent you on the sale or purchase of your home. Keller Williams VIP Properties came in the lowest at 1.96 sales per agent.

Realtors gain knowledge through experience just like professionals in any other industry, and the offices with fewer sales per agent will typically have a handful of agents who are experienced, with the bulk of their agents having little to no completed transactions during the year. While real estate is a person-to-person business where your relationship with your Realtor (agent) is more important than the office they work out of, having a Realtor who works out of a strong office with proven track record is definitely a plus in being able to provide top-quality service for all types of clients.

Interesting to note is that RE/MAX of Santa Clarita has the fewest agents of the offices reported, with the highest number of sales per agent. Quantity does not always equal quality in this case - the offices with the largest number of agents also had the lowest number of sales per agent. Experience counts!
