Cari McGee, a real estate agent based in Tri-Cities, Washington, has been ranked 43rd among all Washington real estate agents in the 2026 WSJ/RealTrends Verified agent rankings. The recognition, based on her 2025 performance of 52 transactions totaling $26.3 million in sales volume, places her among the top 1.5% of agents nationwide. This marks her second consecutive year earning a spot on the prestigious list.
McGee's achievement is particularly notable given the Tri-Cities' relatively low home prices compared to other major metro areas in Washington. Her sales volume ranked third among individual agents in the Tri-Cities and 163rd statewide, while her transaction count made her the third most productive individual agent in the region. "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."
Clients attribute McGee's success to her hands-on approach, responsiveness, and personal attention. As the sole active licensed agent on the Cari McGee Real Estate Team, she works directly with every client. Her post-sale client care includes a unique rewards program offering perks from local and national businesses. These efforts have earned her more than 270 five-star reviews and accolades such as being named the Most Trusted Realtor® in Tri-Cities by BUILD magazine in 2025.
This latest honor follows other recent awards. At a RE/MAX Northwest awards ceremony in Kennewick, McGee was recognized as the #10 individual RE/MAX agent in Washington, #3 individual agent at RE/MAX Northwest (out of over 200 agents across 11 offices in Washington and Oregon), #1 RE/MAX agent in Washington for contributions to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and achieved the 2025 RE/MAX Chairman's Club distinction.
Since 2004, McGee has sold more than 650 homes. In 2025, her listings spent a median of just 10 days on the market, significantly faster than the market median of 28 days. Her business philosophy emphasizes efficient systems combined with personal guidance, encapsulated in her promise that "no agent takes better care of their clients."

The implications of this announcement extend beyond individual recognition. McGee's ranking demonstrates that agents in lower-priced markets can achieve national prominence through volume and client satisfaction. It also highlights the importance of client care and community involvement in building a successful real estate practice, as evidenced by her philanthropic work and rewards program. As the real estate industry increasingly relies on data-driven rankings, McGee's achievement serves as a benchmark for agents in similar markets striving for excellence.
