Detwiler was named No. 32 on this year’s list, and Foster was named No. 136 on the list, which includes 200 CEOs, top executives and other leaders in the residential real estate industry.

“Those named to the Swanepoel list are innovative leaders in the real estate industry, and there are many worthy experts and professionals included,” Detwiler said. “Our goals at Long & Foster have always been honesty, integrity and innovation, and we are proud to have been named to the Swanepoel Power 200 list again.”

“Being named to a list that includes so many of our distinguished peers and top real estate industry professionals is an honor,” said Foster. “It also validates Long & Foster’s success and I’m very proud to be part of it.”

The rankings are based on several criteria including an individual’s personal influence, their tenure in the industry, the office they hold and the decision-making power of that office. Their company’s financial status, size and significance within the industry, as well as its geographic reach, are also considered in the process. Additionally, the individual’s future contributions to the industry are part of the evaluation criteria.
