New York, NY – April 14, 2026 – Compass continues its reign as America’s #1 independent real estate brokerage, marking five consecutive years at the top of the RealTrends Verified Brokerage Rankings for sales volume.
Some of the most talented real estate professionals in the industry fueled the firm’s success, surpassing $262 billion in sales volume across 245,173 transactions in 2025 and delivering elevated service to homeowners and homebuyers in one of the most challenging housing markets ever.
“This ranking reflects the real estate professionals who have helped us build a company with a distinct identity defined by being both big and boutique,” said Compass President Neda Navab. “While national scale and a broad network of top talent have fueled our growth, it continues to be our agents’ focus on relationships and hyper-local expertise in their markets that truly differentiates Compass.”
The RealTrends Verified Brokerage Rankings represent the most comprehensive and respected real estate brokerage performance analysis in the United States.
Compass dominates the Rhode Island real estate market, closing the first quarter as the #1 brokerage in the state. The firm leads in Providence, Newport, and Washington Counties, and has also secured the top position in the key markets of Newport, Westerly, and the East Side of Providence. Further demonstrating their market leadership, Compass agents represented three of the five highest-priced home sales in Rhode Island in Q1.
“Across Rhode Island, our agents continue to deliver exceptional results for our valued clients—from the historic East Side to the coastlines of Newport and South County,” remarks Ryan Elsman, Managing Director of Compass Rhode Island. “As a proud part of the nation’s #1 brokerage, we’re able to pair local expertise with a powerful national platform. We’re excited to build on this momentum in 2026.”
