Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® (LeadingRE) is the network of the world’s leading independent residential real estate agencies, present in over 70 countries, with 550 companies and 134,000 sales associates. Our invitation-only network is based on unparalleled performance and trusted relationships that ensure exceptional client experiences. In 1997, 50 of the largest real estate agencies in the United States left one of the industry’s major networks to create what subsequently became Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, with the goal of controlling their own destiny and forming a network composed only of the best local and regional firms focused on excellence in the real estate sector. Today, we are industry leaders by reputation and across a wide range of metrics related to sales, market coverage, and much more. The LeadingRE mantra is “Making the best real estate agencies even better,” providing these leading local brands with world-class corporate resources and national and global connections.
