What Does It Really Mean to Be a Top-Ranked Realtor? A Look Behind the RealTrends Rankings—and Why It Matters for You

by Costanza Genoese Zerbi

 

 

If you've been shopping for a home or considering selling yours, you've probably come across agents claiming to be top-ranked, award-winning, or the #1 something. But what does that actually mean? And how can you tell if it’s just marketing fluff—or a real sign of expertise?

One of the most trusted sources for real estate agent rankings is RealTrends, a data-driven platform that analyzes actual performance, not just popularity or social media presence.


What Are the RealTrends Rankings?

RealTrends ranks the top agents and teams in the country each year based on measurable criteria, like:

  • Total number of transactions closed

  • Total sales volume (in dollars)

  • Consistency and excellence across multiple years

This is not a paid-for list or a popularity contest—it’s backed by hard data, verified by independent third-party audits. Being recognized by RealTrends means you're among the top-performing agents in the U.S., often in the top 1.5% out of more than 1.6 million licensed agents nationwide.


I’m Proud to Be Ranked by RealTrends

I’m Costanza Genoese Zerbi, and I’m honored to be ranked by RealTrends as one of the top real estate professionals in the country. This recognition reflects more than just numbers—it reflects years of dedication, successful outcomes, and the trust of my clients.

But here's the real question: Why does that matter to you?


Why Experience and Ranking Matter in Real Estate

Buying or selling a home isn’t just about filling out forms or opening doors. It’s about protecting your finances, your future, and your peace of mind. Here’s what you get when you work with an experienced, top-ranked agent:

Local Market Knowledge

I know this market—street by street, block by block. I bring insight that algorithms and search engines can’t, from pricing strategy to timing your move.

Experience With All Types of Scenarios

Every transaction is different. Over the years, I’ve successfully navigated:

  • Multiple-offer situations

  • Contingency chains

  • Appraisal issues

  • Probate and trust sales

  • Investment property complications
    You name it—I’ve probably seen it and solved it.

Contract and Negotiation Expertise

Real estate contracts are full of important (and often overlooked) details. I know how to write and interpret them to protect you, structure a winning offer, or keep a deal alive when things get tricky.


Why It’s Worth Choosing a Pro

Your home is likely your largest asset. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, you deserve more than just someone with a license—you deserve someone with proven results, deep experience, and a track record backed by RealTrends recognition.

If you're ready to work with a nationally ranked agent who still believes in local, personal service—I’m here.
