Each year, the Swanepoel T3 Group releases their SP200 (Swanepoel Power 200) list, honoring the top 200 most powerful and influential leaders in residential real estate.

Swanepoel conducts over 600 hours of research and analysis in order to produce a definitive ranking report for the industry. Leaders are evaluated on their personal influence, tenure, decision-making power, the financial resources at their disposal, their company’s industry significance, geographical reach and more. In short, they did their homework thoroughly to ensure it’s the most accurate reflection of power and influence in residential real estate.

We are happy to see several familiar faces on the list this year! Congratulations to the following network members for receiving this honor, and for continuing to set the bar in real estate.
