His new honor was tied to the sale of 3,556 homes through MLS during 2016. Caballero work with new homes sales for 65 builders in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio markets.

According to research conducted by REAL Trends, Caballero’s sales record for 2016 was seven times more homes than his closest competitor (467 homes) and totaled a new individual real estate agent sales record of $1.444 billion, breaking his 2015 record of $1.022 billion.
