Swanepoel Power

Chief Executive Officer and Other National Association of Realtors Leaders Make the 2021 200 List .

This year’s Swanepoel Power 200 list includes ® association leaders, brokerage and MLS executives, and real estate tech innovators and executives from across the residential real estate spectrum. Featured executives have embraced disruption and growth and have provided strong guidance as the nation grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic and forges a new direction on equity and inclusion.

For the fourth straight year, CEO Bob Goldberg has been ranked in the top 10. President Charlie Oppler, CEO of Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty in New Jersey, was also named to the list, as were several of NAR’s senior executives. The SP200 list, released Tuesday, is from T3 Sixty, a consulting and research firm for the residential . “Despite the complexities and craziness of 2020, many NAR leaders stepped up, and were willing to do what it takes to serve their members and the real estate brokerage industry at large,” says T3 Sixty Chairman and CEO Stefan Swanepoel.

“NAR’s commitment to improving diversity and making the industry a more balanced and represented profession is also highly commendable.” Overall, the rankings are based on several factors, including an individual’s achievements, position within the organization, and decision-making power, as well as the organization’s significance. Nominations for Power 200 are accepted, but the majority of the 3,000 or so people reviewed and considered come from T3 Sixty’s own database and ongoing research of the industry.

While we honor them with their inclusion on the SP200 for 2021, we also acknowledge the tens of thousands of other leaders that also stood up and made a difference when the industry needed them.”
