Miami stands as one of the most dynamic and valuable real estate markets in the United States. While not yet reaching the trillion-dollar mark, Miami‘s total real estate value, including both residential and commercial properties, was estimated at approximately $650 billion as of 2023, according to the Miami Association of Realtors. This places Miami among the top-tier real estate markets in the country, attracting both local and international buyers and driving intense competition among real estate agents.
As of Sept. 4, 2024, Altos Research reports that the city of Miami had 1,861 active listings for houses and 3,563 active listings for condos. Given this inventory and Miami’s status as a premier destination for luxury real estate, top-performing agents remain dominant in the market, handling a significant share of the transaction volume.
According to RealTrends Verified analysis, breaking into Miami’s top 50 real estate agents requires more than $16 million in annual sales, while breaking into the top 75 calls for a minimum of $5 million in sales. This only underscores the level of performance required to thrive in Miami’s market.
RealTrends Verified City Rankings highlight the highest-performing agents in Miami and other key markets across the U.S. Leading agents such as Mariana Niro of Serhant, Liz Hogan of Compass, and Lesli Burkhead of The Keyes Company are at the forefront of the Miami market. Each closed over 50 transaction sides in 2023. Niro currently leads the Miami rankings with 61 transaction sides.
Niro’s 61 transactions equate to approximately $81.5 million in 2023 volume, positioning her among the top 50 agents in Florida.
