Fran Broude, president and COO of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, has announced that several of the brokerage’s agents have been named to the 2012 The Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends The Thousand Report, according to an issued press release.

In its seventh year, the report is based on submitted surveys from every national branded network, state and local association of Realtors, applicants from past years’ rankings and the 900 largest brokerage firms in the United States, according to Steve Murray, editor of REAL Trends, Inc. in regards to the survey’s methodology.

An agent or team’s ranking in the list is based upon their business and level of sales for the prior calendar year. The Thousand list is then divided into the Top 250 Real Estate Professionals or Teams by Transaction Sides or by Transaction Volume.
