San Luis Obispo, CA April 11, 2022 – Richardson Properties, San Luis Obispo’s leading real estate brokerage, today announced its ranking as the number 864 real estate firm in the United States in sales volume, according to RISMedia’s 34th Annual Power Broker Report. Richardson Properties reported a total sales volume of $477,337,000 in 2021, representing 514 closed transactions.
RISMedia President and CEO John Featherston praised Richardson Properties for its placement in this year’s Power Broker Report. “Congratulations to all the leaders and their respective management teams and sales associates who have contributed to the collective success represented in the 34th Annual Power Broker Report,” says Featherston. “2021 was a historical year with unprecedented benchmarks, and those who rank on our Power Broker list represent the tremendous success that’s occurred in residential real estate over the past year. Looking forward, I am confident that this group will continue to forge ahead toward another successful year.”
“It is wonderful to see Richardson Properties and the team recognized again as a top firm in the United States,” said Chris Richardson, President of Richardson Properties. “We’ve been ranked #1 in total property sales volume in SLO County for two years running and Lindsey Harn was named one of America’s top-selling realtors by TrendGraphix in February – it’s been a great first quarter and we look forward to building on this momentum in 2022.”
