The Hasson Company Ranks No. 1 Real Estate Firm in Nation for Average Sales Volume Per Agent

Date: June 18, 2008

For the second year in a row, The Hasson Company ranks No. 1 in the nation for the highest average sales volume per agent, outperforming firms with 200 or more agents. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year as the premier independent real estate brokerage in the Northwest, The Hasson Company is pleased to be the No. 1 choice for local area homebuyers.

While the national residential real estate industry saw a decrease of more than $106 billion in sales between 2006 and 2007, The Hasson Company remained strong. Avoiding the difficulties other companies experience in a challenging market, The Hasson Company's success is the result of a healthy business model and smart business practices.

"My philosophy has always been that the company is not going to make the agent great; we want great agents who are going to help make the company great," says Mike Hasson, President and owner of The Hasson Company. "Our ranking supports this philosophy. The agents at The Hasson Company know how to get business done, are entrepreneurial by nature, but still know and understand they're part of something bigger."

RISMedia's 20th Annual Power Broker Report & Survey is based on information gathered from a national survey distributed by RISMedia, publisher of Real Estate magazine. The annual survey ranks residential real estate firms according to closed transaction numbers and closed sales volume. All sales data is directly provided by the brokerages, but is validated by external accounting sources prior to publication.
