Pleasanton, CA — January 15, 2026 — NextHome’s Co-Chief Executive Officer, James Dwiggins, was once again recognized by T3 Sixty as a prominent leader in the residential real estate brokerage industry, earning a spot on the 2026 Swanepoel Power 200 (SP 200) list.
James continues his steady rise on the prestigious list, having been ranked No. 158 in 2017, No. 105 in 2018, No. 72 in 2019, No. 54 in 2020, No. 48 in 2021, No. 40 in 2022, No. 37 in 2023, and No. 28 in 2024. After breaking into the Top 25 last year, James was again ranked No. 24 in 2026, reinforcing his continued influence and leadership as he navigates industry change and positions the NextHome franchise and its members for long-term success.
“For decades, power in this industry was closely tied to tenure and legacy,” said Jack Miller, President and CEO of T3 Sixty. “What the 2026 Swanepoel Power 200 clearly uncovers is that power and influence are now also secured through strategic clarity, operational execution, and the ability to build platforms, the flow of capital, and listings access.”
In addition to his role at NextHome, James shares his insights and perspective as co-host of the Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered podcast, where he interviews notable industry leaders, top-producing agents, and teams. He is also a sought-after speaker, frequently invited to discuss current real estate challenges and opportunities at conferences and events across the country.
Created and published by T3 Sixty, the Swanepoel Power 200 represents hundreds of hours of research analyzing company performance metrics, individual biographies, and conversations with industry leaders. The rankings provide a definitive look at the scope, reach, and leadership of residential real estate executives. Leaders are evaluated based on four equally weighted criteria: their power within their own company; their reputation and influence among industry peers; their relative power within their industry subgroup (such as brokerage or MLS); and their anticipated impact on the industry in the foreseeable future.
“Earning a place in the Top 25 again is incredibly humbling, but it’s truly a reflection of the people behind the NextHome brand,” said James Dwiggins. “Our corporate team, franchise owners, brokers, and agents challenge each other to be better every day, and that collective commitment is what drives our success. We will continue to lead with transparency, embrace change, and stay focused on what matters most, supporting people in their journey home.”
NextHome extends its sincere gratitude to all members across the country for making recognitions like this possible. The company’s leadership continues to make a meaningful impact on the real estate industry thanks to the ongoing support, collaboration, and dedication of the NextHome network.
