LEADING REAL ESTATE COMPANIES OF THE WORLD

Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) is a non-franchise, invitation-only global real estate network comprising the strongest independent brokerages—the largest in overall sales, company and agent populations, and performance. Its mantra is to “make the best brokerages better” through education, marketing, lead generation, technology, global connections, corporate relocation, and luxury property services available to 565 affiliate brokerages with 4,300 offices and 130,000 sales associates in more than 70 countries. Producing $254 billion in home sales annually, LeadingRE’s affiliates ranked #1 in 40 percent of top U.S. markets with more than 1.1 million transactions.

LeadingRE provides the global connections and robust resources of a franchise while enabling brokers to build their own local and regional brands. Affiliates must meet high standards (market ranking, reputation, stability) to qualify for a membership invitation. LeadingRE’s training and educational offerings are key drivers influencing continued global growth, high performance, productivity, and profitability.

The organization’s learning and development (L&D) strategies support corporate goals and include investing in a robust “LeadingRE Institute” online learning portal/ learning management system (LMS) hosting nearly 400 courses and numerous certifications, extensive live training events, Webinars, leadership development (including its transformative Maestro Leadership for sales managers), CEO mastermind groups, and targeted curricula for multiple audiences—brokers, sales managers, agents, marketing/ relocation/technology/training managers—and continuous development of its staff. It serves global affiliates with firms ranging from boutique to mega-sized with a wide array of organizational structures. With quality integral to everything LeadingRE does, its training also must be scalable and flexible to meet the needs of such diverse students. It must provide comprehensive, standalone resources for smaller firms, and also valuable integrations with sophisticated training programs for others.

As a privately held corporation owned by visionary brokers, LeadingRE is nimble and able to invest in research and analysis identifying needs and specific knowledge and resource gaps. The global real estate environment is ever-changing and complex. LeadingRE’s success depends on its agility and commitment to building innovative, world-class solutions and training to benefit its affiliates and the clients they serve.
