Aprile Osborne named one of country’s top 1,000 agents

Call It Closed International Realty co-founder and Chief Vision Officer Aprile Osborne has been named one of the country’s top real estate agents by an independent real estate research firm. The designation follows a similar ranking of Call It Closed as one of the country’s top independent brokerages.

Agents and teams recognized on the 2024 RealTrends Verified + Tom Ferry The Thousand rankings represent the top echelon of the estimated 1.5 million Realtors in the country. In the category of small teams, Aprile Osborne’s three-person squad ranked just outside the top 150 in Florida, generating nearly $50 million in sales for 2023 alone.

The rankings are featured in The Wall Street Journal and were announced on Friday, May 31. In March, RealTrends Verified named Call It Closed to its list of the Nation’s Best brokerages, ranking the company No. 135 nationwide among independent brokerages. The 30-year-old company tracks and analyzes real estate brokerages, teams and agent performance data, spotlighting the top tier of real estate professionals.

City rankings, including for Naples, will be released this fall.

“Industry recognition of both Aprile and Call It Closed as among the nation’s best real estate pros are honors we truly cherish,” said president and CEO Chad Osborne, who co-founded the company five years ago with his wife. “While such accolades are deeply appreciated, it’s really a testament to the trust our buyers and sellers place in us when seeking their own slices of paradise.”

The rankings only account for single-family, residential real estate transactions. The research firm noted that both Aprile Osborne and Call It Closed’s performance came amid a strong year by independent brokerages, whose market share grew to 27 percent from 2022 to 2023, a 4 percent increase gained at the expense of larger brands.
