Who is America’s #1 Real Estate Agent? It isn’t who you’d think it would be! Real Trends announced America’s #1 real estate agent…drum roll please….. Ben Cabellero in Addison Texas! No he doesn’t’ cater to the rich and famous in Beverly Hills or the captains of Wall Street in Manhattan. He owns HomesUSA.com based in Addison Texas.
Hold on to you hats Ben broke his previous record of 1.002 billion in home sales when he became the world’s first “Billion Dollar Real Estate Agent.” Ben last year sold 1.444 billion in homes sales!
This is the 6th year for Ben to win the top real estate agent award with whopping sales of 3,356 homes! This was a 42% increase in number of homes sold and a 43% increased in dollar volume. There were plenty of predictions that Texas would be hard hit and would suffer from the volatility in oil prices. Maybe now people will believe Texas is not as dependent on oil as we were. We learned the secret..diversify!
Caballero is the only individual real estate agent to ever surpass the total production of the number one real estate teams in “The Thousand List” in both dollars volume and number of homes sold.
The ranking from Real Trends is completed in partnership with the Wall Street Journal and requires independent third-party verification.
How does Ben Cabellero sell so many homes? It’s easy he invented his own on line technology for builders provided by his company HomesUSA.com. His platform allows builders to provide more accurate data to consumers and increases their ability to market their new home listings to real estate agents. Ben virtually sells almost all new home construction.
Ben became a real estate agent at 21 and has been a builder for 18 years. His on-line platform was developed in 2007 and is offered in Texas but will soon be rolled out in Florida and North Carolina. He grew his business in the last year from 40 builders to now serving 60. Ben’s unprecedented sale of homes shows how innovative technology can work in the real estate industry.
