Every year for the last 11 years, T3 Sixty has analyzed and ranked the North American residential real estate brokerage’s 200 most powerful leaders and published the resulting SP 200. The exercise requires a significant amount of research and analysis, and careful debate about who makes the list, who makes the top 10, top 50, top 100, and, ultimately, the full 200. 

T3 determines the rankings by each leader’s power within the industry — how much capital could they access or leverage themselves, their ownership stake, if any, in the companies they lead, the size and importance of the companies they lead, their place in their company’s org chart, their personal influence within the industry, the size and production of the companies they lead. All of these factors are considered when ranking leaders, and, as such, the exercise requires a ton of analysis and, unavoidably, some subjectivity.

Note: Any reference to size and sales volume of companies in leaders’ bios is shared for framing purposes. Numbers quoted reflect full-year 2022 data, the last full-year of audited numbers. Audited numbers for 2023 will be available 90-120 days after the end of the financial year and will be released by T3 Sixty then (known as the Mega 1000).

Analysis of the SP 200 takes approximately 10 T3 executives approximately 500 hours, following a deliberate, detailed procedure and review of eight ranking criteria. The SP 200 attempts to provide an accurate reflection of the leadership of the industry as is; it includes no sponsorships, pay-to-play, discrimination or preferential treatment.
