Nevada Real Estate Firm Receives National Recognition

LAS VEGAS - Aug. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Six Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices teams and one individual real estate sales executive have been recognized among the leading professionals in American real estate, according to REAL Trends' The Thousand. REAL Trends, in conjunction with The Wall Street Journal, recently published "The Thousand" list of America's top 1,000 real estate sales professionals and teams.

"The Thousand," as advertised in The Wall Street Journal, is an annual, national awards ranking sponsored by REAL Trends and advertised in The Wall Street Journal. Designees are recognized as the top one half of one percent of more than 1.1 million licensed Realtors® nationwide. The Thousand is divided into four categories, each listing the top 250 designees: Individual Agent—Sales Volume; Individual Agent—Transaction Sides; Agent Team—Sales Volume and Agent Team—Transaction Sides.

"Our teams comprised five of the top 10 in the state for sides, or number of transactions," said Gordon Miles, president and COO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties. "And seven of the top 20 teams in sales volume are also from our company, representing $498 million in Southern Nevada real estate sales last year.
