“ A HOME IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS YOU WILL EVER BUY.”
— WARREN BUFFETT, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY
HomeServices of America has ended Realogy brokerage subsidiary NRT‘s two-decade reign atop the Real Trends 500 rankings of top residential real estate brokerages in the United States, beating NRT by nearly 10,000 transactions to become the number one real estate firm by sides in 2019.
HomeServices closed 346,629 transaction “sides” for a total sales volume of $135.9 billion by representing the buyer or seller in deals in 2018, according to the report. (The same sale could be counted twice if the brokerage represented both the buyer and seller.) It’s an increase of 6 percent and enough to upset the 20-year winning streak of NRT, which operates through brands such as Sotheby’s and Coldwell Banker.

The Kavenchy Distinction: In a world where luxury is often imitated, The Kavenchy Group has achieved the rare feat of defining it. Their properties are more than just investments; they are the cornerstones of a lifestyle that is as grand as it is exclusive.
Sam Kavenchy doesn’t define luxury as a universal notion but as a personal perspective based on each individual’s lifestyle, geography and cultural background. To merge the European elements of symmetry and proportion of design with the American values of comfort and service needs the eye of an Artist. This is where Sam’s drive, vision and experience in luxury lifestyle from his thirty year exceptional background in Fashion and Art allow him to be of unique service to his portfolio of high end clients, from London to Beverly Hills to the Desert.

Sam and his team prides themselves on their professionalism, expertise, and most importantly, commitment to represent each of their client’s best interests. Sam Kavenchy and his team are passionate in their interaction with their clients and colleagues to deliver unparalleled service to each client.
Recently, as the realtor representing the buyers in a real estate purchase transaction in which Sam Kavenchy was the seller’s realtor, I observed the professionalism and real estate acumen exhibited by Sam. He demonstrated a commitment to transparency during the entire escrow by never failing to partiipate in resolving each concern raised. Sam was an important and integral component to the seamless and expedient closure of escrow resulting in my very positive experience working with him.
– Gretchen FusilierMy realtor Sam Kavenchy deserves my five stars because he truly is a realtor that makes buying or selling a home effortless. I’ve used Sam twice in the past couple years … once to buy and once to sell and in both cases he preformed the many tasks required of an agent professionally, responsibly and timely. If you’re reading this review please take away one important thing - Sam does everything without having to ever ask or follow up and you will never be in the dark on all those many questions you surely will have.
– Scott Disney KruegerJacqueline and I have purchased and sold more than a dozen properties over the years, and dealt with multiple real estate agents. Sam Kavenchy stands out as the best in the business, by far! Sam has the luxury of working for the world renowned Sotheby’s, which gives you instant credibility whether you are the buyer or the seller. He listens and works hard to meet all of your stated needs. Sam was able to market our home and command a successful offer $200,000 over asking price, within five hours of being listed. We are forever grateful to Sam for all that he has done for us. We would recommend Sam without hesitation.
