RETSY, Arizona’s Forbes Global Properties brokerage, announced that it crossed the $1 billion mark in sales volume more than two months earlier than in 2024, despite a more challenging housing market marked by rising interest rates and shifting commission structures. Recognized on RealTrends as the #1 brokerage for average sales price of brokerages in Arizona with over $1 billion in sales volume in 2024, RETSY has now closed over $5 billion in sales volume in just under five years since its founding.
“These achievements underscore the strength of Arizona’s luxury real estate market and RETSY’s commitment to recruiting only the most experienced agents,” said Chris Morrison, Founding Partner of RETSY. “By providing the highest level of technology, marketing, and support, we’ve created an environment where top professionals can thrive and outperform the market, and where buyers and sellers receive unmatched service and results.”
RETSY’s growth model is anchored on bringing on only high-caliber, experienced agents who can thrive in a competitive landscape and giving them cutting-edge tools, global reach, and the backing of Forbes Global Properties, one of the most powerful luxury real estate networks in the world. This has garnered the luxury real estate firm a strong competitive market position:
Year-to-date, RETSY’s transaction count is up 18.3%, with total sales volume rising 12.8% versus 2024. In 2025, RETSY agents achieved an average sales price of $1.36 million—outpacing the Arizona market and more than doubling competitors that rely on much larger agent rosters. For context, RETSY recorded an average sales price of $1.44 million in 2024, maintaining its standing as Arizona’s leader in luxury transactions.
While many brokerages have shifted their entire marketing strategy exclusively online, RETSY has doubled down on expanding their marketing innovation with a multi-channel approach designed to reach discerning buyers and sellers wherever they are. This year, the firm launched RETSY Reserve, a high-quality glossy magazine showcasing premier listings and in-depth market insights, along with “The RETSY Podcast,” which features conversations with leaders across real estate, design, and luxury lifestyle.
As of August 2025, RETSY has been accepted into Leading Real Estate Companies of the World: a world-class referral network and a listing advantage with innovative programs, unique events and connections to people and opportunities around the world.
“As the market evolves, top agents need more than just a brokerage—they need a partner,” Morrison added. “RETSY offers exactly that: an ecosystem where agents can grow their business and seize the opportunities that others can’t.”
Despite national headlines suggesting a softening housing market, Arizona continues to benefit from corporate relocations, major manufacturing investments, and population migration, all of which fuel steady demand in the high-end housing sector. Unlike many regions, Arizona’s luxury market has remained comparatively insulated from economic downturns, positioning RETSY and its agents for continued growth.
