Named Again: Rigsby Luxury Group Earns RealTrends Top 1.5% and Premier Sotheby's Club 1744 Recognition for 2026

There is a moment every year when recognition like this arrives, and the first thing Spencer and I feel is not pride. It is gratitude. Pure and simple.

We have been named again to the RealTrends Verified Top 1.5% of Small Teams by Sales Volume in the United States for 2026. And also again, we have been named to Premier Sotheby's International Realty's Club 1744, which recognizes the Top 10% of Global Advisors company-wide across Florida and North Carolina. These are two of the most meaningful benchmarks in our industry with Premier Sotheby's being the #1 Sotheby's Affiliate in the World, and we do not take either one lightly.

But here is what we want you to know: this is not really about us.

It Starts With the People Who Trust Us

Every transaction behind these numbers represents a real person, a real family, and a real decision that mattered. Buying or selling a home in Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, or Fort Myers is not a small thing. It is a life decision. It carries weight, and it deserves advisors who treat it that way.

To every client who chose us, referred a friend or family member to us, or simply picked up the phone and said "I trust you with this," thank you. You are the reason these rankings exist at all.

Our Referral Colleagues Deserve a Spotlight

One thing that does not always get said loudly enough is how much of our business is built on professional trust across state lines, time zones, and country borders.

Real estate referrals are a significant part of what we do. We have spent years cultivating a network of highly skilled colleagues from coast to coast and around the world, agents and advisors who share our values and our commitment to the client experience. When they send someone they care about to Naples Florida, they are putting their own reputation on the line. We never forget that.

To every colleague who has entrusted a client to our care, whether they were buying their dream home on the Gulf, selling a property to begin their next chapter, or relocating a family across the country, we are honored by your confidence and we work hard to be worthy of it every single time.

That relationship goes both ways. When our clients need to buy, sell, or invest anywhere outside of Naples and Southwest Florida, we have the network to connect them with the right advisor in virtually any market. Our clients are covered, not just here, but globally.

What Club 1744 Means

Premier Sotheby's International Realty's Club 1744 recognizes the Top 10% of advisors company-wide across their Florida and North Carolina footprint. For context, Premier Sotheby's is one of the most respected luxury real estate brokerages in the country and #1 Sotheby's Affiliate in the World. Being named to this group two years running tells us that the standard we hold ourselves to is being recognized at the highest levels of our company.

What RealTrends Verified Means

RealTrends Verified is one of the most credible independent rankings in residential real estate. The Top 1.5% designation for small teams is based on verified sales volume, not self-reported numbers. When you see that designation, you know it is earned.

Looking Forward

Spencer and I are as motivated today as we have ever been. The luxury market in Southwest Florida continues to attract buyers from across the country and around the world, and the opportunity to serve them at the highest level is something we genuinely love doing.

If you are thinking about buying or selling in Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Estero, or Fort Myers, we would love to earn your trust the way so many others have. And if you are an agent anywhere in the country looking for a trusted referral partner in Naples Florida or anywhere in Southwest Florida, we would love to build that relationship.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We could not do any of it without you.
