LOS GATOS, Calif., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno proudly celebrates the remarkable achievements of its agents recognized on the 2026 RealTrends Verified list, a prestigious ranking of the top 1.5% of real estate professionals across the United States.

The firm also ranked #31 for sales volume nationwide and #161 for sides nationwide, and received the following awards: RealTrends Verified Best Brokerages, 500 by Sides, 500 by Volume, Billionaires’ Club, and Top Independents – Private.

“Being recognized nationally is meaningful, but what it represents locally is what drives us. Our agents show up every day with extraordinary skill and an even deeper commitment to the people and communities they serve,” said Chris Trapani, Co-Founder and CEO. That combination of excellence and genuine care is what separates Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno and its agents, and these rankings reflect it.

As Northern California’s largest locally owned and operated independent real estate brokerage, Christie’s Sereno continues to set the standard for both excellence and integrity in real estate. With over 650 agents across 19 offices spanning San Francisco, Peninsula, Silicon Valley, South County, East Bay, Santa Cruz, Marin, Wine Country, Tahoe, Incline Village, Sierra Foothills, and the Central Coast, the firm remains rooted in its dual commitment to luxury and community.

“What makes this recognition so meaningful is who earned it. Our agents aren’t just skilled negotiators and market experts. They’re neighbors, trusted advisors, and genuine contributors to the communities they call home. They don’t chase rankings; they chase doing right by their clients. That’s the culture we’ve built at Christie’s International Real Estate Sereno, and seeing it reflected in recognition like this is incredibly gratifying,” shared Ryan Iwanaga, Co-Founder and CXO.
