Manhattan, we mean business. And we're thrilled to share some big news. The Agency has just been ranked 15th in Manhattan in The Real Deal's 2026 NYC Top Brokerage Ranking. This isn't a one-time thing, either. It marks our fourth year in a row on this prestigious list, following our spots in 2025, 2024, and 2023. That's four consecutive years of being recognized as a top player in one of the world's toughest markets. It's a milestone that speaks volumes about our team's dedication and skill. We didn't just arrive in New York; we came to compete and win. ### How The Real Deal Ranking Works You might be wondering, how does a brokerage even get on this list? It's not just about reputation. The Real Deal's ranking is built on hard data. They look at the previous year's residential transaction volume, pulling numbers directly from New York City's official ACRIS database. They then cross-check that data with MLS systems and brokerage websites to ensure accuracy. We're talking about a massive dataset here, covering over 38,000 residential transactions across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. It includes everything: - Condos - Co-ops - Single-family homes - 2-to-4 family homes So, this ranking is a pure reflection of sales volume and market activity. It's a numbers game, and our numbers are strong. ### A Team Built for New York Juliet Clapp, our SVP and Managing Partner for the North East Coast, put it perfectly. She said, "Being recognized by The Real Deal for the fourth consecutive year is a true testament to the talent and tenacity of our New York team." She went on to say, "Manhattan is one of the most competitive markets in the world, and our agents have proven they are up for the challenge. This ranking reflects their hard work — and the momentum we've built here only continues to grow." And she's right. This city doesn't hand out success. You have to earn it, every single day. Our agents understand that. They know the neighborhoods, they understand the nuances of co-op boards versus condo associations, and they fight for their clients. This ranking is their victory. ### Our Rapid Rise in the Big Apple Let's rewind for a second. The Agency made its official East Coast debut in Manhattan just a few years ago, in 2023. In the grand scheme of New York real estate, that's a blink of an eye. Yet, here we are. Four appearances on The Real Deal's list, and every single time we've landed in Manhattan's top 20 brokerages. Think about that growth. It shows how much ground our team has covered in a relatively short amount of time. We moved quickly, but we moved with purpose. Every deal, every client relationship, was a building block. ### What This Means for You So, why does this ranking matter to you? It's simple. It's proof of concept. When you work with The Agency in New York, you're not just working with a friendly face. You're partnering with a powerhouse. You're aligning yourself with a team that has consistently delivered results in a market where many struggle to keep up. This ranking reinforces our core commitment: to deliver exceptional, no-compromise results for our clients in Manhattan and beyond. As we continue to expand our footprint here, that commitment only grows stronger. We're here for the long haul, and we're just getting started. The momentum is real. The results are undeniable. And we're incredibly proud of what our New York team has accomplished. They've turned our big city move into a major success story, one transaction at a time.
