These 335 Agents Just Made the RealTrends 2026 City Rankings

Lucía Torres · 2026-07-10

The Agency just got a massive nod of recognition from RealTrends. In their 2026 Verified City Rankings, 335 of our agents and 53 teams across 98 cities were honored. That's not just a nice statistic—it's a testament to the grit and hustle our folks bring every single day. This ranking highlights the top-performing agents in America's 50 biggest markets. And honestly, it couldn't have come at a better time. The market's been anything but predictable lately. Rates have zigged when everyone expected them to zag. Buyers and sellers are more cautious. Yet our agents have adapted quickly and creatively, always putting their clients' goals first. ### What This Recognition Really Means Look, this industry has never been more competitive. And that's exactly when real, face-to-face guidance and client advocacy matter most. That's what Rainy Hake Austin, The Agency's President, said when we asked her about it. "We've grown into a global brokerage," she told us, "but we've never let go of the boutique, concierge-level standard that built us." That's the key. You don't get 335 agents recognized in a single year by accident. It takes a culture that values relationships over transactions. And it takes agents who are willing to go the extra mile—literally from coast to coast. ### A Coast-to-Coast Celebration The list of honorees spans from Alaska to Arizona, from California to… well, mostly California. But that's okay. Let's break down some of the highlights: - **Alaska**: The Mehner Weiser Real Estate Group in Anchorage was recognized as a Top Team by both sides and volume. That's no small feat in a market that's often overlooked. - **Arizona**: Scottsdale brought in heavy hitters like Frank DiMaggio, Clayton Wolfe, and Debbie Sinani, all recognized for their volume or sides. - **California**: This is where the list really gets deep. Alamo alone had 18 agents recognized. Berkeley had 8. And Beverly Hills? A staggering 33 agents made the cut. It's not just about the big names either. You'll see teams like The Tannahill Team in Berkeley earning their spot. And individual agents like Alex Vichinsky in Beverly Hills rounding out the list. Every single one of them earned this through sheer determination. ### Why This Matters for Clients Here's the thing about rankings like this: they're not just trophies for agents. They're signals for clients. When you work with an agent who's been recognized by RealTrends, you're working with someone who's proven they can perform under pressure. These agents have navigated shifting interest rates, inventory shortages, and changing buyer preferences. They've closed deals when others couldn't. And they've done it while maintaining that boutique, concierge-level service that sets The Agency apart. So if you're looking to buy or sell in 2026, this list is a pretty good place to start. These are the people who've already shown they can get the job done. ### The Full Picture We can't list every single name here—the full list is extensive. But you can check out the complete breakdown at RealTrends.com. Just know that every agent on that list has earned their spot through hard work, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to their clients. As Rainy Hake Austin put it: "I couldn't be prouder of our team." Neither could we. --- *For more details on the RealTrends 2026 Verified City Rankings, visit RealTrends.com.*
