IRVINE, CA (April 20, 2016) - Real Living Real Estate, a real estate brokerage network operated by HSF Affiliates LLC, today announced it was named “Real Estate Agency Brand of the Year” and “Most Loved” real estate brand in the 28th annual Harris Poll EquiTrend® study.

Real Living Real Estate received the highest ranking in the Real Estate Agency category based on consumers’ perception of its brand familiarity, quality and usage consideration. Additionally, Real Living Real Estate was rated the “Most Loved” real estate brand among those considered in the Harris Poll EquiTrend® study, underscoring respondents’ emotional connection to the brand. The study was based on opinions of more than 97,000 U.S. consumers surveyed online earlier this year.

“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by consumers in the venerable Harris Poll EquiTrend® study,” said Gino Blefari, CEO of HSF Affiliates, which operates Real Living Real Estate. “It’s certainly a tribute to the strength of the Real Living Real Estate brand and the service provided by its top-quality professionals.”

The brand received the highest numerical Equity Score among real estate brands included in the 2016 Harris Poll EquiTrend® study, which measures and compares the brand health of more than 3,800 brands across nearly 500 categories from airlines and apparel to retailers and real estate.
