History of Top Producer®

Before smartphones and widespread use of the Internet, the Top Producer® Team was looking to simplify the lives of real estate professionals.

The team began this quest back in 1982, when the average price of a home was $69,3001. Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ was also climbing the charts, E.T. was a box-office hit, and the Commodore 64 home computer was released:

A lot has changed since then. What hasn’t though, is that real estate agents are still the most important entity in this business. And our primary goal remains to help agents reach unimaginable success.
