When you look at the most productive real estate agents in America, one name doesn’t just stand out: it stands alone. As documented by The Wall Street Journal and independently verified by HousingWire’s RealTrends, Ben Caballero, founder and CEO of HomesUSA.com, is the most productive individual real estate agent in U.S. history.
Guinness World Records has honored him three times for achieving the most annual home sales transactions through the MLS by an individual sell-side agent: a distinction unmatched in the industry.
A production record without parallel
For more than a decade, Ben has dominated the RealTrends ranking as the nation’s No. 1 individual real estate professional for both total transactions and total sales volume. From 2013 through 2024, no other agent has come close. For over a decade, Ben’s individual numbers exceeded all real estate teams as well.
He is the only agent ever to surpass $2 billion in annual sales for multiple consecutive years. From 2018 through 2024 (with the exception of 2021)and the only agent to exceed $3 billion three years in a row (2022–2024). His 2024 performance—7,722 home sales totaling $3.92 billion—cements his place in real estate history.
Ben’s numbers at a glance:
Ben is the only individual real estate agent to reach nearly $4 billion in residential sales transactions in a single year, hitting $3.93 billion in 2024. He was the first agent to exceed $3 billion (2023, 2022), the first to exceed $2 billion (2018, 2019, 2020), and the first to exceed $1 billion (2015, 2016, 2017) in total home sales volume.
A remarkable innovator too
What makes Ben’s production possible isn’t just his expertise, it’s his commitment to innovation. As a longtime advocate for technology in real estate, he built HomesUSA.com by inventing a proprietary online SaaS marketing management platform designed specifically for production homebuilders.
Today, his latest builder technology creation is SpecDeck, the world’s first fully automated MLS listing platform for builders that also leverages artificial intelligence.
His newest invention delivers the efficiency, accuracy, and scale needed to support the nation’s largest builders, enabling Ben to do what no other individual agent can: help his 70+ builder clients manage tens of thousands of MLS listings with precision, accuracy, speed, and consistency.
Ben’s work has redefined how builders leverage the MLS, which he aptly calls one of the world’s most powerful marketing platforms.

Ben shares his business practices and how he leverages builder technology to achieve his success and record numbers in a six-part podcast, “Ben Caballero: Real Estate Agent Series and BUILDER TALK Series from the #1 Ranked Agent in the US.”
Available on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, YouTube Music and Spotify, the three-part Builder series and three-part Agent series offers rare, behind-the-scenes perspective from the industry’s most accomplished agent.
