Ranked by number of active licensed agents. *Conventional real estate accounting practice is to count sales twice when the listing company is also the selling company, so that if a real estate company sells a $100,000 house that it has also listed, it records two units sold and $200,000 in sales. WND=would not disclose. 1) Murney Associates was established in August of 1997 and does not have a full year of transaction figures available. The SBJ list of Springfield's largest residential real estate agencies was compiled from data supplied by individual agencies. Some agencies may have been omitted due to lack of information, space or deadline restrictions.
