In 2015 at the annual Keller Williams award ceremony, while working at KW Palo Alto, I was recognized as their top producing individual agent in the whole United States. I am very thrilled and grateful to many people! This was the third consecutive year that I was ranked as one of the top 3 individual agents nationwide. I love being recognized as the number 1 top real estate agent nationwide by Keller Williams, the largest residential real estate franchise in the United States. Achieving "Juliana Lee, number 1 top real estate agent nationwide at Keller Williams" is very meaningful to both myself and to my team.
Top producing means the value of the real estate I sold or bought for my clients totaled more than any other individual agent. This was not achieved through the sale of an extraordinarily high priced property but through the consistent sale of numerous Silicon Valley homes.
Individual agent is actually not as simple as you would first assume. At this level of performance an agent is not their own secretary, is not putting their own signs in the front lawn of houses, they are not the first to answer EVERY phone call. Of course these and many more actions are often performed by assistants working for the individual agent. Some of the tasks performed by assistants require that the assistant be a licensed real estate agent.
I essentially personally negotiate every home purchase or home sale for my clients. The phone number I advertise, 650-857-1000, is my personal cell phone and has been for over 20 years. Keller Williams, using their criteria, considered me an individual agent, and ranked me at the top of over 100,000 agents.
If you want a top real estate agent, a number 1 top real estate agent nationwide at Keller Williams to help you sell or buy a Silicon Valley home, call me at my cell phone 650-857-1000. I love selling real estate!

update:
Right after achieving the number 1 individual agent nationwide ranking, Keller Williams both bribed and pushed me to no longer be an individual agent. I and my assistants were classified as a team. I added a couple buyer agents to my team and a year or so passes, then my team was classified as a group. Another year passes and although my team is still small, it is very effective. The Keller Williams Palo Alto Office did not have enough conference rooms for us to meet our clients nor enough office space for my four assistants. We needed a better office, so I bought my own office building. Keller Williams Palo Alto feared I would take their agents away from them to my office and told me to leave KW. So my love and success of selling real estate has lead me to have my own office building for my team. My daughter, Jade Lee, has been working with me for years. She is now the broker for the Juliana Lee Team. I am no longer at KW Palo Alto.

I and my three very experienced buyer agents are a small sales team compared to the top "teams at Keller Williams" (remember, Keller Williams is the largest real estate franchise in the U.S.A.). I have other specialists on my team who support sales activities including marketing, accounting, documentation, and more, but the number of buyer specialists working directly with clients is still small. I am still the only agent on my team who meets home sellers and creates (with the help of my specialists, of which some are licensed real estate agents) a custom plan to sell my client's home and meet their goals.
Keller Williams is always making changes to provide incentives and support for agents to grow their own business beyond being an agent, beyond being a team, and even beyond being a market center. I don't know what future categories I will be competing in, or which categories will even exist. Keller Williams is a company which pushes their agents forward.
If you want a top real estate agent, a number one real estate agent nationwide at Keller Williams to personally help you sell or buy Silicon Valley real estate, call Juliana Lee (me) at my cell phone 650-857-1000. Yes, I am now a team, and yes I love hearing "Juliana Lee, number 1 top real estate agent nationwide at Keller Williams". I'm eager to accomplish even more.
RealTrends rankings are also broken into different categories: individuals by transaction sides, individuals by sales volume, individuals by average price, teams by transaction sides, teams by sales volume, and teams by average price.
When using RealTrends rankings to compare agents or teams directly there is a major problem. There is no consistency determining when an agent is no longer an individual agent but is instead a team, nor when a team is no longer a team but is instead a brokerage. The first most obvious example is the #1 agent, Ben Caballero of HomesUSA.com. With approximately $1B of sales and nearly 2,500 home sales each year, he is clearly at the top of almost any nationwide real estate ranking short of a ranking of real estate franchises. He has been ranked the #1 agent for at least the last 3 years and will probably remain there for years to come. He is ahead of any team. But is he an individual agent? At the top of RealTrends there isn't a lot of difference between an agent and a team. In many instances, an agent or a team is actually a real estate company with many employees. Every real estate franchise has their own definitions. A small brokerage can call themselves whatever they want to. Is it a company, is it a team, or is it an individual? They can present themselves as they wish, no matter how many licensed real estate agents are working together.
I have been ranked as high as #40 nationwide in the individual by sales volume category.
If an agent or team has been ranked highly by RealTrends it means that there is a group of people who are very good at selling homes. Does it mean there is a top ranked agent who will personally be negotiating the sale or purchase of your home? It can! Call me at my cell phone 650-857-1000, if you are wanting to sell or buy a home in Silicon Valley, and you will be talking and working with a top real estate agent, the number 1 real estate agent nationwide at Keller Williams and who is ranked highly by RealTrends even when competing against large teams and even real estate companies.
If I'm in a meeting or already talking with someone, your call might be transfered to an assistant but I will have your number on my cell phone. I will get back to you if needed. I love to talk to clients, to friends, about real estate! You will be working with both me and my team of experts.

Our New Office Bldg
According to local multiple listing service records there were 10,843 agents who sold at least 1 home in either Santa Clara County or San Mateo County during 2018. It sounds like there are a lot of agents to choose from. However the average number of sales for the lowest ranking 5,421 agents was 1.2 sales for the entire year! You want to work with a top agent who has experience, knowledge, and connections in Silicon Valley.
One of my goals, one of the goals of my team, is to quickly get you, our client, to know more about the Silicon Valley real estate market for the home you are looking for, than your competition knows! We help you make great decisions. We make great things happen for you.
I am talking and negotiating with buyers, with sellers, and with other real estate agents every day. I have the knowledge, experience, and connections to help you like very few others can.
Juliana Lee completed 103 sales vs. ...
90% of all agents sold less than one home per month. Only 32 agents in Silicon Valley or 0.32% of the agents sold at least one home per week. I sold 103 homes that year.
If you are a buyer, there are even fewer choices. Many top ranked real estate agents only work with sellers. I work with both buyers and sellers.
I have over 25,000 people in my contact list. I am negotiating with buyers, with sellers, and with other real estate agents every day. I will help you like few others can. We make great things happen for you.

Yes, almost always. To understand why, look at what the best real estate agent does for you:
For a home buyer: The best real estate agent will find the best home for you, negotiate a great purchase price and terms, solve any problems occurring during escrow, and support you for any home issues as long as she can contact you.
For a home seller: The best real estate agent will provide advice enabling you to make informed choices both as to whether to sell or which potential buyer to sell to. The best agent will help you prepare your home for sale, market your home, solve any problems occurring during escrow, and help you get into your new home. As an example I have on many occasions when selling my client's home, advised the buyer's agent and the buyers where they can get a loan after the buyer's favorite lender refused to fund the loan for the purchase. A top agent makes good things happen.
A top agent sells more real estate than other agents. This is equivalent to a report card. A real estate agent's goal is to sell homes. A top real estate agent sells more homes. The top agent is better at selling homes. As a number 1 top real estate agent, about 70% of my business is a second or third sale for one of my previous clients. My clients were so pleased, that they asked me to help them again.
Solving problems so that the home sale can complete is not taught in schools or books. Being skillful at solving problems comes from experience and creativity. A top agent has more of both.
Although negotiation skills can be improved by studies, experience and reputation are key to negotiating. A top agent has more of both.
The skills of preparing and marketing your home for sale can be improved by studies. Additionally, better results are attained by getting help from specialists. A top agent has more connections and can get the help of better specialists. A top agent has more recent experience and knows what is favored and effective. A top agent can reach out to more real estate agents, potential buyers, and people to create a positive buzz of comments about your property. A top agent isn't a one person company, she is a skilled experienced agent with an experienced team helping her.
