Cari McGee, a Tri-Cities real estate agent, has been ranked 43rd among all Washington state agents in the 2026 WSJ/RealTrends Verified agent rankings. The recognition is based on her 2025 performance, during which she closed 52 sales totaling $26.3 million in volume. This marks the second consecutive year that McGee has been listed among the top-producing agents nationally.
McGee's transaction count places her as the 43rd most successful agent in Washington by sales count and within the top 1.5% of agents nationwide. In the Tri-Cities area, she ranks as the third individual agent for both sales count and volume. Her $26.34 million sales volume also ranks third in the Tri-Cities and 163rd statewide, a notable achievement given that Tri-Cities home prices are among the lowest in any major Washington metro area.
“It’s amazing to think that only a few dozen agents sold more homes than me in the entire state of Washington last year,” McGee said. “Thank you to everyone who put their trust in me and hired me, or referred me to others who hired me. I am so, so grateful.”
McGee's success is attributed to her hands-on approach and personal attention. As the only active licensed agent on the Cari McGee Real Estate Team, she works directly with all clients. Her post-sale client care includes a unique rewards program offering perks from local and national businesses. This recognition follows other recent awards, including being named the #10 individual RE/MAX agent in Washington, #3 individual agent at RE/MAX Northwest (out of over 200 agents in 11 offices across WA and OR), #1 RE/MAX agent in Washington for contributions to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and a 2025 RE/MAX Chairman's Club member.
The implications of this ranking are significant for the Tri-Cities real estate market. It highlights that agents in lower-priced markets can achieve national recognition through high transaction volume and client satisfaction. McGee's ranking also underscores the value of personalized service in an industry increasingly dominated by large teams and technology. For home buyers and sellers in the Tri-Cities, this award signals that local expertise and dedicated client care can yield results comparable to those in more expensive markets.
McGee's track record includes selling over 650 homes since 2004, with a median of just 10 days on market for her listings in 2025, compared to the market median of 28 days. She holds more than 270 5-star reviews and has been named the Most Trusted Realtor in Tri-Cities by BUILD magazine in 2025. Her Rockstar Rewards program offers exclusive benefits from local and national businesses, further distinguishing her services.
