I was just wondering because I've seen newspaper articles that have mentioned certain real estate agents as being the #1 seller in (insert place here), and I was wondering how they know which agents sold more than others. I thought maybe there was some organization that keeps track of how many sales each agent makes.

most agents are also "Realtors" which is a trade organization. the Realtors run the MLS (multiple listing service) which keeps track of the listing price and sales price of each property.

it also tracks the listing and selling agent and the listed commission, and whether the property sells or expires unsold.

real estate companies keep track of this info to promote their top sales people.
