The Swanepoel Power 200 (SP 200), the definitive ranking of the residential real estate brokerage industry’s executives and leaders, has named Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP), as one of the nation’s ten most powerful and influential people in real estate for 2023.

Andy ranked ninth on the list and is joined by a second member of CoStar Group’s leadership team, David Mele, President of Homes.com, who ranked 128th on the list.

The annual report published today, marking its 10th year as the industry’s most respected analysis of the scope, reach and leadership of the industry's executives running the nation’s largest companies.

The recognition of Andy Florance on the SP 200 list comes on the heels of a banner year for the company. Founded in 1986, CoStar Group has grown to over 5,600 employees in 14 countries and fulfills Florance’s vision to digitize the real estate industry, empowering people to discover properties, insights, and connections that improve their businesses and lives. In 2022, CoStar Group was added to the S&P 500 Index, one of the premier benchmarks of the U.S. equities market, and the company was also included in the NASDAQ 100, one of the world’s largest preeminent large-cap indexes.

“It's an honor to be ranked as one of the top ten real estate business leaders and to have David Mele recognized for his leadership,” said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “This award reflects our continued commitment to providing the most in-depth and powerful real estate tools through the incredible efforts of our whole CoStar Group team. We’re looking forward to continuing to drive innovation within the real estate industry.”

Andy is joined on the Swanepoel Power 200 list by a wide range of top executives, including Gino Blefari, president and CEO of HomeServices of America; Gary Keller, the founder and executive chairman of kwx; Glenn Sanford, the founder and CEO of eXp World Holdings; and Ryan Schneider, CEO and president, Anywhere Real Estate among others.

“Talented leaders,” said Jack Miller, CEO of T3 Sixty, “are executives who can continue to right the ship even in untested waters, and the industry’s top-ranked leaders have in the last year proven that they have earned their place at the helm.”
