The Swanepoel Power 200 (SP200) is an annual list of the 200 most powerful people in residential real estate in North America (United States and Canada).[1] The list is described as the most comprehensive list of influential CEOs, thought leaders and senior executives in the residential real estate business.[2][3]

Origin and Methodology

The publication was researched and published under the guidance of trends analyst[4] Stefan Swanepoel.[5][6] Swanepoel is widely acknowledged as a leading researcher on real estate trends[7] and is author of the annual Swanepoel Trends Report that has been published annually since 2006.[8] It is this 30,000-foot purview and in-depth 20-year industry research that brings validity to the list. The executive editor on the SP200 is Rob Hahn.

The rankings are based on multiple criteria[9] taking into account attributes such as the individual’s personal influence, his/her tenure in the industry, the office he or she holds, the decision-making power of said office, the financial resources of the company or organization, the company or organization’s significance and contribution to the industry, the company’s geographic reach, and his or her recent activities, growth, and potential.[10][11] The list[12] stands as a milestone analysis of the multidisciplinary residential real estate industry and is released annual in January in print and online at www.sp200.com.
