Watson Realty Corp. ranked 17th in the nation

RISMEDIA, residential real estate’s largest independent news and information service, has released its 19th Annual Power Broker Report & Survey which identified Watson Realty Corp. as ranking 17th in the nation based on closed transaction sides (16,503) and 27th in the nation based on Sales Volume ($4,192,355,352.) in the year 2006. They were the only real estate company listed within the Top 50 brokerages from the State of Florida.

The report stated, “Like many of the Power Brokers listed in this month’s Annual Power Broker Report & Survey, we have the gift of perspective here at RISMedia,” said RISMedia CEO and Publisher, John Featherston. “Publishing this magazine for 27 years and ranking leading brokerage firms for 19 of those years has provided us with an important vantage point on the market. It allows us to comfortably say that, despite rampant talk of the demise of real estate in 2006, we are still in the midst of a vibrant real estate market, one that continues to present a wealth of opportunity. But, there’s a catch. You have to know where to look.”

“These brokers confronted the reality of the new marketplace and turned it into their competitive advantage,” Featherston said. “While some firms acted on the false hope that the slowdown was just a temporary fluke, Power Brokers with the benefit of perspective took the necessary steps to ensure profitability.”

Said Ed Forman, Watson Realty Corp. REALTORS® President: “We are pleased to once again be ranked among the nation’s top real estate companies in the Power Broker Report & Survey. It is quite an honor and a powerful statement to be ranked as the top Florida real estate company as well as 17th in transactions and 27th in sales volume nationwide! We continue to expand to meet the needs of our customers and are totally committed to providing the very best quality service in the industry. Our associates are driven to exceed their customers’ expectations and our company’s full range of ancillary services allow our customers to have truly a one-stop shopping experience.”
