Top residential brokerage firms by closed Manhattan deals

In addition to ranking Manhattan’s biggest brokerage firms by listings (see charts on adjacent pages) as it had done in years past, The Real Deal ran its first-ever ranking of Manhattan firms by closed deals (encompassing only sales above $1 million) in its May 2013 issue. The ability to rank firms based on closed sales rather than on a snapshot of listings was the result of improved data-gathering methods as well as better transparency in the industry. Data was provided by the website StreetEasy with additional research by The Real Deal.
