The Thousand real estate professionals was announced on June 23, with four separate categories honoring the top 250 residential agents and agent teams for excellence in:

* Individual Sales Professionals – Transaction sides (in each real estate transaction, there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: a buyer’s and a seller’s.)

* Team Professionals – Sales volume

* Team Professionals – Transaction sides

For the third year, REAL Trends added two new categories to The Thousand ranking based on of average sales price. This new category is broken down into the top 50 residential agents and agent teams for excellence in:

* Individual Sales Professionals – Average Sales Price

* Team Professionals – Average Sales Price

According to The Thousand, Davis had transaction sides totaling 171, ranking her 87th in the nation.

“The best individual agents and teams – including Davis’ award-winning efforts – were nothing short of phenomenal considering the challenges in today’s complex housing market,” said Steve Murray, founder of REAL Trends, a Denver-based consulting, publishing and communications company and The Trusted
