MADISON, N.J., Aug. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — For the second consecutive year, Realogy affiliated agents lead the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals (NAGLREP) Top LGBT+ Agent List, including more than half (53 percent) of agents ranked by Sales Volume and nearly half (49 percent) of agents ranked by Individual Sides. Overall, 35 percent of all agents and teams recognized in the new rankings are affiliated with a Realogy brand, building on the company’s strong showing in last year’s inaugural list.
"We remain committed to supporting and developing our base of diverse real estate professionals and are elated that they continue to have such a strong showing on NAGLREP’s list of top LGBT+ producers," said John Peyton, President and Chief Executive Officer, Realogy Franchise Group. "Our longstanding, collaborative partnership with NAGLREP and the fact that so many successful LGBT+ agents affiliate with Realogy brands are more proof that the LGBT+ community and its allies have a home at Realogy."
