For some of L.A.’s top residential brokers, less is more.
Kurt Rappaport was the agent with the highest median sale price in 2025 and the smallest number of deals, according to an analysis of The Real Deal’s annual broker ranking data for L.A. County over the past year.
Rappaport, co-founder of Westside Estate Agency, notched a median sale price of $24 million this year, which was just $1 million shy of his median deal price in 2024. Rappaport’s typical deal size this year was also almost $10 million more than the L.A. realtor with the second-highest median figure, Carolwood Estates CEO Drew Fenton.
Rappaport undertook the fewest deals this year — just 19 — among the top 10 brokers on TRD’s 2025 ranking. Rapapport’s transactions over the past year totaled $568 million, the fifth-highest in the county.
The broker team with the highest deal volume this year was Williams & Williams Estates Group, led by Branden and Rayni Williams. The team raked in $1.3 billion in sales across 197 transactions. In terms of its median deal size, the group placed seventh, with a typical sale of $3.2 million.
For its annual broker ranking, TRD looked at the buy and sell sides of residential transactions in L.A. County’s Multiple Listing Service between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025. Deals under $1 million and off-market deals were not included.

L.A.’s top 10 brokers this year inked about 4 percent fewer deals than they did last year. But those deals were worth more. The total for the best-performing brokers and teams was about $6.3 billion, a nearly 22 percent increase compared to last year.Measure United House to L.A., also known as ULA or the mansion tax, has weighed on L.A.’s luxury market this year. Some brokers told TRD that they would have done more deals if not for the tax, which voters greenlit in 2022. The controversial tax is currently set at 4 percent for city of Los Angeles property deals of at least $5.3 million but under $10.6 million, and 5.5 percent for deals valued at $10.6 million and higher.
