Real Trends Verified Ranking for ND
The team also ranks No. 38 among large teams nationwide and stands as The Real Brokerage's No. 2 team in the country for 2025 production.
GRAND FORKS, ND, UNITED STATES, July 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Elm Group, a real estate team operating under The Real Brokerage and covering Fargo, Grand Forks, and the Minnesota Lakes Area, has been named by RealTrends Verified as the No. 1 large team in North Dakota based on transaction sides in the 2026 rankings, which reflect 2025 production.
According to the same RealTrends Verified evaluation, The Elm Group is positioned at No. 38 among all large teams nationally by transaction sides — an elite countrywide result within one of real estate’s most trusted and independently verified performance programs. RealTrends Verified validates production information directly with brokerages ahead of publication, giving the recognition extra credibility in an industry where self-reported figures are frequent.
Underlying the rankings is an exceptional year: The Elm Group completed 353 transaction sides and $111.5 million in sales volume in 2025, based on the RealTrends Verified data that generated these results.
The team also earns a distinction extending across the entire country. Within The Real Brokerage — one of North America’s fastest-expanding brokerages — The Elm Group ranks as the No. 2 team nationally, a position measured against thousands of agents and teams active on the same platform.
“These rankings belong to our clients and our agents,” said Tyler Lindell, team leader of The Elm Group. “Being verified as North Dakota’s top large team, and standing among the best teams in the country, reflects the trust families across our region place in us every day. We don’t take that for granted.”
For purchasers and sellers throughout Fargo, Grand Forks, and the Minnesota Lakes Area, third-party recognition provides something marketing cannot: independent confirmation of a proven track record. RealTrends Verified rankings are among the most frequently cited benchmarks in residential real estate, used by consumers and industry peers alike to spot top-performing teams.
The Elm Group attributes its achievements to a model that combines experienced, full-time Realtors with technology, market analytics, and deep neighborhood expertise. “Our goal has never been a ranking; it’s to help people make better real estate decisions,” Lindell added. “These results tell us that approach is working, and we’re just getting started.”
