JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - May 15, 2014 - PRLog -- According to a recent research report produced by REAL Trends, the 500 largest residential real estate brokerage firms in the nation controlled just over 2 million residential sales transactions in 2013.

The transactions represent close to 32.6 percent of all new and resale transactions completed by brokers during the year, yet the REAL Trends 500 represented less than three-fifths of one percent of all brokerage firms.  The 500 ranked brokers closed more than 2.5 million home transactions with a value of over $767 billion during 2013, up from $624 billion in calendar year 2012.

Included in the REAL Trends 500 is Watson Realty Corp., headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla. Watson Realty Corp. ranked 19th in the REAL Trends 500 with 14,642 residential transaction sides closed last year.
