Yitzchak Pierson, Broker Associate with eXp Realty, has been named a RealTrends Verified agent based on his 2025 production, a national, independently verified ranking of real estate professionals by closed transaction volume. For 2025, Pierson closed 63 transactions totaling more than $13.23 million in sales volume, ranking him #55 in Texas and #1,180 nationally for transaction sides.
Unlike locally voted recognitions, RealTrends Verified rankings are based on independently confirmed closed-sale data, making the distinction a widely referenced benchmark within the real estate industry for measuring production at the individual agent level. Pierson, who serves buyers, sellers, and investors along the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio with a focus on New Braunfels, Canyon Lake, San Marcos, and Seguin, said the recognition reflects the volume of transactions he closed for clients navigating the submarket's shifting resale and new construction conditions over the past year.
The RealTrends Verified recognition adds to a list of honors Pierson has received in 2026, including being voted Best Real Estate Agent in New Braunfels for a third consecutive year, named a 2026 PT500 REALTOR® by Platinum Top 500 San Antonio, a Top 250 eXp Realty agent nationally, a second-consecutive eXp Realty ICON Agent, and #33 on the San Antonio Business Journal's Top 100 Residential Real Estate Agents list. These accolades underscore Pierson's consistent performance and reputation in the region.
The significance of the RealTrends Verified distinction lies in its objectivity. While many awards rely on nominations or votes, RealTrends Verified requires agents to submit their closed transaction data, which is then independently verified by a third party. This provides a reliable metric for consumers and industry professionals to assess an agent's actual sales activity. For Pierson, being ranked #55 in Texas among all agents who qualified is particularly noteworthy given the size of the state's real estate market.
Pierson's focus on the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio places him in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country. The area has seen significant population growth and housing demand, with New Braunfels and surrounding communities attracting both homebuyers and investors. His ability to close 63 transactions in a single year demonstrates his effectiveness in helping clients navigate the competitive market conditions, including fluctuating interest rates and inventory challenges.
This recognition also highlights the growing importance of data-driven validation in the real estate industry. As consumers become more informed, they increasingly seek agents with proven track records. RealTrends Verified provides a standardized way to compare agents across markets, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Pierson's achievement serves as a benchmark for other agents in the region and reinforces the value of independent verification in a field often characterized by self-promotion.
