8th Annual Real Estate Ranking
Ray Young was Named to REAL Trends + Tom Ferry America's Best Real Estate Professionals in Rockford, Illinois.
(Rockford, Illinois, July 21, 2020) Ray Young of Dickerson & Nieman Realtors was named one of America's most productive sales associates as a part of REAL Trends + Tom Ferry America's Best Real Estate Professionals, a ranking report produced by REAL Trends and Tom Ferry International. He is now a member of the "America's Best Real Estate Agents," and ranked number 7 for the state of Illinois.
REAL Trends America's Best Real Estate Professionals ranks over 14,500 residential real estate professionals solely based on their excellence in real estate sales during calendar year 2019. All production numbers are independently verified by a third party to ensure accuracy and report integrity. This group of highly successful real estate sales agents represents the top 1 percent of all real estate practitioners in the United States.
"Congratulations to Ray Young who made the America's Best list," says Tom Ferry, owner and founder of Tom Ferry International. "I have the pleasure of working with successful real estate professionals day in and day out, and I know all the hard work, late nights, and huge effort that goes into achieving such incredible results," says Ferry. "There are multiple ways to become successful in real estate. Yet, despite the differences, the real estate professionals on this list have one thing in common—they are simply the best. Congratulations to all recipients of this prestigious recognition."
The America's Best are ranked in twelve categories:
By TransactionsÂ
Agent-owned brokerages by Transaction Sides
Individuals by Transaction Sides
Teams, Small (2-5 licensed members)Â by Transaction Sides
Teams, Medium (6-10)Â by Transaction Sides
Teams, Large (11+) by Transaction Sides
Team-owned brokerages by Transaction Sides
By VolumeÂ
Agent-owned brokerages by Volume
Individuals by Volume
Teams, Small (2-5) by Volume

To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2019. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.
"Those individual agents and teams who make up the 2020 America's Best Real Estate Professionals represent only about 1.5% of all Realtors® in the country yet account for over 10% of the closed transactions, and more than 16% of all the sales volume closed last year," says Murray. "To say that Ray Young is an exceptional sales professional is an understatement. To attain this level of sales is extraordinary."
"I'm pleased and honored to be ranked on this ranking of the country's top residential real estate agents," says Ray Young. "It represents the time and effort that we put into each client that we serve and how much work it takes to build a successful real estate career.
