Winners Collectively Tabulated an Impressive $4.7 Billion in Transactions in 2023

NEW ORLEANS, LA—The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) announced the Top 100 Black real estate professionals at an elegant “En Blanc Soirée” celebration at their 76th Annual Convention. The event, a glamorous evening of celebration and recognition, honored awardees, who collectively produced $4.7 billion in transactions in 2023 for their excellence in real estate sales.

“As the premier network of Black real estate professionals, recognizing the success of Blacks in the real estate industry is one of the most important activities we do as an association,” said NAREB President Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose. “We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of our Top 100 awardees.”

At the event on August 9, NAREB recognized the outstanding Black real estate professionals who epitomize excellence. Among these achievers were individual brokers/agents, residential brokerages, teams, commercial brokerages, and loan officers who collectively executed transactions exceeding $4.7 billion in value throughout 2023. NAREB also announced Andreda Randelson, with The Vine Realty Group in Mobile, AL, as the Realtist Community Impact Award winner, a special recognition for those who have made significant contributions to their local communities.

"These awards recognize the excellence of Black real estate professionals and their profound impact on Black communities across the country,” said C. Renee Wilson, NAREB’s executive director. “We are proud of the honorees. Their dedication and commitment are helping to increase Black homeownership and help consumers build wealth, inspiring others in the industry.”

Wilson expressed her heartfelt gratitude towards the supporters of the Top 100, including the valued partnership of Dionne Cuello, SVP, National Diverse Market Segments, Citi; Liz Gehringer, President and CEO of Anywhere Franchise Brand; Jason Waugh, President of Coldwell Banker Franchises. "We couldn’t do this without the financial support of our corporate partners,” Wilson said. “Their support is deeply appreciated and helps make this program and event possible.”
