Real Trends Announces America's Best Real Estate Agents List

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mike Hughes, Jeff Shelton & Andrea Webb of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate were named one of America's most productive sales associates as a part of REAL Trends America's Best Real Estate Agents, the newly issued ranking report produced by REAL Trends and sponsored by Zillow Group.  Hughes Shelton Realtors is now a member of the "America's Best Real Estate Agents," and ranked number 28 for the state of Florida.

REAL Trends America's Best Real Estate Agents ranks over 12,000 residential real estate professionals solely based on their excellence in real estate sales during calendar year 2015. All production numbers are independently verified by a third-party in order to ensure accuracy and report integrity. This group of highly successful real estate sales agents represents less than 1 percent of all real estate practitioners in the United States.

The real estate professionals are ranked in four categories:

• Individual agent — Sales volume
• Individual agent — Transaction sides (in each real estate transaction there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: the buy side and the selling side)
• Agent team — Sales volume
• Agent team — Transaction sides

To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2015. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.

"The average residential real estate agent in the United States closed fewer than eight transactions in 2015 and had less than $1.5 million in sales," says Steve Murray, publisher of REAL Trends' America's Best Real Estate Agents and president of REAL Trends. "To say that Mike Hughes, Jeff Shelton and Andrea Webb are exceptional sales professionals is an understatement. To attain this level of sales is truly outstanding."

"We are also pleased that two of the nation's most prominent online real estate websites, Trulia® and Zillow®, have partnered with REAL Trends to bring a superior level of customer exposure of these sales agents' performance," Murray added.

"We are obviously pleased and honored to be ranked on this ranking of the country's top residential real estate agents," said Jeff Shelton.  "It represents the time and effort that we put into each client that we serve and how much work it takes to build a successful real estate career. The level of sales it takes to qualify makes it a truly special recognition."
