The September 2001 issue of the National Association of Realtors’ “Realtor Magazine” features the “top 100 mega producers” of the industry, and Redondo Beach agent Leo Nordine is ranked #17 in the country. Nordine has sold over 300 properties a year for 5 years in a row, and over 2500 since 1987. He runs his own small company with his wife Molly, and is continually proving agents don’t need to work for a large company to be successful. The National Association of Realtors has 760,000 members in the United States. Nordine was ranked 1st among 55,000 agents in Los Angeles County and 3rd in California. 9 other California agents were among the top 100 agents in the country. The #1 agent in the United States was a condo specialist in Philadelphia who also owned his own firm and closed an almost impossible 754 deals last year.
