Ann Marie Chauss and her team have secured a spot among the top one percent of real estate teams in Florida, according to the 2026 RealTrends rankings. The recognition comes after a strong year that saw the team close 58 separate transactions totaling more than $33.6 million in sales volume.
The RealTrends Verified Top Team designation is based on verified production data, meaning the numbers are audited and confirmed rather than self-reported. For Chauss, the ranking reflects a consistent focus on client service and market knowledge in a competitive Florida landscape. The team handled a mix of residential sales, working with both buyers and sellers across multiple price points.
Chauss credited the achievement to her agents and support staff, noting that the volume of deals required tight coordination and a deep understanding of local market trends. The 58 closed transactions represent a steady pace in a year when interest rates and inventory levels shifted frequently.
Being named to the top one percent places the team among an elite group of Florida agents. The RealTrends list is widely used in the industry to benchmark performance. For Chauss, the 2026 ranking adds to a track record of consistent sales growth and client referrals. She said the goal now is to maintain that momentum heading into the next year.
