The Agency Ranks #11 in Bay Area Brokerages for 2026

Lucía Torres · 2026-07-07

We're thrilled to share that The Agency has once again been named among the top 20 residential brokerages in the Bay Area, according to The Real Deal's 2026 rankings. This year, we landed at #11—up two spots from last round—closing 867 transactions on deals exceeding $100,000 between May 2025 and May 2026. ### What This Ranking Means for Bay Area Homebuyers That growth reflects The Agency's expanding footprint across the region. We now have offices in Berkeley, Alamo, Marin, Woodside, Los Altos, Los Gatos, and Healdsburg. Each location puts us closer to the communities we serve, giving us a real edge in understanding local markets. In 2025, we added 15 agents across our Bay Area offices. This deepened our local presence and strengthened our ability to serve buyers in these competitive, sought-after markets. Together, these agents brought in more than $166 million in production volume. That's not just a number—it represents hundreds of families finding their dream homes. ### A Growing Team, A Growing Reputation Our NorCal teams were recently ranked among the largest Bay Area residential real estate brokerages by the San Francisco Business Times. That recognition came based on the gross volume of regional sales closed in 2025. It's a testament to the hard work and dedication of every agent in our network. "As the Northern California region continues to grow and evolve, our presence has too," said Rainy Hake Austin, President of The Agency. "I'm so proud of the truly talented team of agents we have, who understand the nuances of their markets inside and out. Clients rely on that genuine insight, and I couldn't be prouder of what this team has built." ### Why Local Expertise Matters More Than Ever - **Deep market knowledge**: Our agents live and work in these neighborhoods, so they know the schools, commute times, and hidden gems. - **Stronger connections**: Local offices mean faster responses and better relationships with clients. - **Proven results**: Climbing to #11 shows we're consistently delivering for buyers and sellers. We're proud of this honor, but we're even prouder of the trust our clients place in us every day.
