We know what our members need because we’ve been where they are. Established in 1963 as a national organization focused on relocation and referrals, LeadingRE was galvanized in 1997 when 50 of the US’s largest independent brokerage firms left a major real estate network to launch one of their own. In doing so, we leveraged collective top-line knowledge and experience and built from the ground up, uniting leading local brands worldwide. LeadingRE has since grown to be the market leader in independent brokerage networks, with 550 firms in 70 countries, generating 1.3 million global transactions a year.
With this global reach capable of leveraging a vast network of connections—along with partnering service arms Luxury Portfolio International® and the relocation management company RELO Direct®—LeadingRE can provide our members not only with a proprietary cache of robust referrals and resources, but exponentially diverse solutions for customers.
