Keller Williams Agents Leo Pareja and David Acosta Among Top 10 Latino Agents

Thirty top-producing Hispanic real estate agents from franchise featured on NAHREP Top 250 list

AUSTIN, TEXAS (July 7, 2015)Keller Williams, the world's largest real estate franchise by agent count, is represented by two of the Top 10 agents on the 2015 National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) list of the top-producing Hispanic real estate agents in the United States. The fourth-annual NAHREP list includes 30 Keller Williams' agents, which doubles its representation from two years ago.

For the fourth consecutive year, Leo Pareja of Falls Church, Va., has secured a spot in the Top 10. Pareja closed 398 transaction sides in 2014, a 21 percent increase over his strong performance in 2013. David Acosta of El Paso, Texas, also makes a return to the Top 10, with 351 transaction sides closed in 2014.

"Congratulations to Leo, David and our full team of agents on this year's NAHREP Top 250," said Chris Heller, CEO, Keller Williams. "We're excited and honored to be in business with them all. Keller Williams is stronger because of their determined efforts to set such a high bar of achievement."

The 2015 list recognizes top-producing agents whose hard work and dedication has led them to close an outstanding number of transactions. Selected from among 500 agents considered, the 250 winners collectively handled a total of 20,730 transaction sides in 2014 and over $3.9 billion in total volume.

"We continue to attract top agents who are building extraordinary businesses," said John Davis, President, Keller Williams. "These 30 agents are market experts who have committed to delivering a superior customer experience. It's no wonder so many clients choose to work with them to buy or sell their home." NAHREP will recognize the Top 250 Latino agents during the NAHREP 2015 National Convention and Latin Music Festival in Chicago on Sept. 22.

"We are proud and excited to acknowledge these hardworking individuals who make a remarkable difference in the lives of Latino families across the U.S.," said Teresa Palacios Smith, president, 2015 NAHREP. "These agents take us one step closer to our goal of increasing Latino homeownership in a sustainable way."
