RealTrends Verified ranking for North Dakota
Furthermore, the team is ranked No. 38 among large teams nationwide and holds the position of 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 earned recognition from RealTrends Verified as the top large team in North Dakota based on transaction sides, according to the 2026 rankings reflecting 2025 performance.
In the same RealTrends Verified rankings, The Elm Group secures the No. 38 position among all large teams nationwide by transaction sides — a standout national result within one of real estate's most trusted, independently verified recognition programs. RealTrends Verified directly confirms production data with brokerages before publication, giving this acknowledgment added weight in an industry where self-reported figures are widespread.
Behind these rankings lies an exceptional year: The Elm Group completed 353 transaction sides and achieved $111.5 million in sales volume during 2025, based on the RealTrends Verified data that drove these results.
The team also earns a distinction that reaches across the country. Within The Real Brokerage — one of North America's fastest-growing brokerages — The Elm Group ranks as the No. 2 team in the nation, a standing measured against thousands of agents and teams 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."

The Elm Group attributes its success to a model that pairs experienced, full-time Realtors with technology, market analytics, and deep neighborhood expertise.
