Ben Caballero, CEO and founder of HomesUSA, set a new world record for both annual home sales and annual transaction volume in 2023. The record was previously held by Caballero.

According to MLS data, Caballero sold 7,012 homes totaling $3.638 billion last year — that averages out to over 19 homes sold every day of the year, or $10 million in home sales daily. 2023 marked the second straight year during which Caballero surpassed the $3 billion mark for home sales, having become the first agent to reach the milestone in 2022 with his $3.06 transaction volume.

Originally from Tampa, the 83-year old, second-generation Cuban American first became a Realtor at the age of 21. He moved to Dallas in 1960 and lives and works in the North Dallas area.

“I have been blessed for more than six decades to work in the best business in the greatest state in the world,” Caballero said in a press release. “Texas is the best market for new-homes in the U.S. year-in and year-out. Clearly, becoming a Texan is one of the best decisions I ever made.”
