Inside Real Estate

Apologies to RE/Max Alliance & Coldwell Banker...
RE/MAX is the Market Leader

When it comes to the raw number of Real Estate deals closed in Charlotte, Manatee and Sarasota counties, Re/Max Alliance is the biggest firm in town and Re/Max is the Biggest Franchise.
A blog posted last month got the order wrong because this blogger failed to account for the fact that Coldwell Banker has more than one franchise in the three-county region. Re/Max Alliance closed 2,222 deals in 2010, giving it an 11.7 % Market Share.
Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate came in second with 1,852 deals and a 9.8 % market share, while Michael Saunders came in thirds with 1,797 deals closed and a 9.5 % market share. When the dollar value of those sales is taken into account, however, Michael Saunders rockets back to the top in both Sarasota and Manatee counties, with 23.1 % market? Share in Sarasota and 13.8 % in Manatee.
But we’re talking about raw numbers here, and when it comes to raw numbers Re/Max is the Market Leader.
All told the eight Re/Max affiliates in the three-county region closed 3,187 deals in 2010, giving them a 16.8 % Market share. Here is a table showing the largest corporations in the region ranked by the number of deals closed.
