Today We Toot Our Own Horn! First Team named No. 1 in California sales

The Costa Mesa-based brokerage firm ranks No. 8 nationally in total transaction volume.

Costa Mesa-based First Team Real Estate ranked No. 1 in sales transactions in California and No. 8 in the U.S. in sales volume among the country’s top 300 real estate companies in 2010, according to RISMedia’s Power Broker Report. The family-owned, nonfranchised company has sold more homes in Orange County than any other real estate firm in the last decade and, despite the struggling housing market, has managed to increase its overall position. The firm has expanded beyond O.C., with property transactions in Beverly Hills, Marina del Rey, Pasadena, Westlake and San Diego. “Our continuous growth and ever-improving performance, particularly in one of the most challenging real estate markets in history, is a testament to our aggressive leadership and constant innovation that enables us to stay ahead of the market by anticipating and meeting the changing needs of consumers and agents,” said First Team Real Estate Founder and CEO Cameron Merage. Merage also credits the firm’s success to the brokerage’s “dedicated and well-trained agents and “sophisticated tools” that set high standards of value for the consumer. Established in 1976, First Team Real Estate has branched out to more than 60 locations and supports more than 2,000 employees and agents. Number 1 in California. Number 8 in the Nation.
