Ken DeLeon of Keller Williams Realty, Inc.was named one ofAmerica’s top real estate professionals by The Wall Street Journal and REAL
Trends. For the second year in a row, he has been a member of the top 100 real estate professionals by sales volume, which is a
component of the “Top 400 Real Estate Professionals,” a prestigious national awards ranking sponsored annually by the two respected
publications. DeLeon is now ranked #45 out of the more than 1.1 million REALTORS® nationwide.
The Top 400 Real Estate Professionals was announced this month with four separate categories honoring the top 100 residential agents
and agent teams for excellence in:
* Individual Sales Professionals – Sales volume
* 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
According to the top 100 by sales volume list, DeLeon’s 2009 individual sales totaled $64,255,170, which earned him his top 50
designation.
“The best individual agents and teams – including DeLeon’s award-winning efforts – were nothing short of phenomenal considering the
challenging real estate market,” said Steve Murray, founder of Denver-based publishing and communications company REAL Trends, which
compiled the list. “Ironically, if you look at the top 100 in each category you will find that collectively, their sales volume and
transaction sides held up quite nicely compared with the market as a whole.”
“Becoming a member of such an elite group as the Top 400 Real Estate Professionals is an incredible accomplishment in any market, but
what DeLeon did during these challenging times is impressive on so many levels,” said Marti Gallardo, vice president of classified
advertising for The Wall Street Journal. “His efforts topped 99.99 percent of the more than 1.1 million REALTORS nationwide.”
“I am absolutely thrilled to be named on this distinguished list again this year, especially to be among the top 50 realtors in the
country,” said DeLeon who serves clients primarily in Northern California. “Even with the market’s challenges, it’s incredibly
gratifying to help clients find their dream homes as well as help them sell their properties quickly and for the highest price
possible.”
