Some news you sit with for a minute before you share it.
This month, Miranda Realty Team was officially named one of the best real estate small teams in Argyle, Texas on the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings — a recognition based entirely on independently verified 2025 production data, published by the most credible ranking program in American residential real estate. (We'll share exactly where we landed in a moment — but first, the part that matters more.)
Before we tell you what it means, we want to tell you what we felt when we saw it: gratitude. Not the hashtag kind. The kneel-down kind.
We say it on every video, every blog, every closing table: for the glory of God and the good of others. This recognition doesn't change that mission — it confirms that the mission works. When you serve families the way you'd want your own family served, the numbers take care of themselves.
What Is RealTrends Verified — and Why It Actually Matters
We're grateful for every form of recognition this business has brought us — each one represents families served and trust earned. What makes RealTrends Verified distinct is the process behind it. This isn't an award in the traditional sense; it's a data benchmark. And here's what we'd want to know if we were reading this as a buyer or seller: is it real? With RealTrends Verified, the answer is checked by someone other than us:
RealTrends has been the trusted data authority in residential real estate since 1987. Founded by industry analyst Steve Murray and now owned by HW Media — the publisher of HousingWire, the housing industry's leading trade publication — RealTrends has spent nearly four decades tracking and analyzing agent, team, and brokerage performance.
RealTrends Verified is the only major agent and team ranking that requires third-party verification. Every number is confirmed by a managing broker through an electronic verification system, MLS data, or audited production reports. Agents can't verify their own numbers. Brokers can't sign for themselves. The data has to hold up.
It represents the top 1.5% of real estate professionals in America. Of the roughly 1.5 million licensed agents in the United States, just over 50,000 agents and teams nationwide earned a spot on the 2026 rankings.
City-level teams must close a minimum of 25 residential transaction sides or $10 million in verified sales volume in the prior calendar year to qualify. Small Teams are defined as 2–5 licensed agents — which means this category measures teams like ours against teams built like ours: lean, personal, and accountable for every single transaction.
In plain terms: this isn't a badge we bought. It's a benchmark we earned — and someone else checked the math.
So here's the number: Miranda Realty Team ranked #4 among small teams in Argyle, Texas — verified, published, and ours to steward.
The Argyle Part Means the Most
We could have been ranked anywhere and been grateful. But Argyle? That's home turf.
We met at the University of North Texas in Denton. We've bought and sold seven homes of our own across this corridor — six of them new construction. We've raised our girls here, worshiped here, and built two businesses here serving the same five communities we'd recommend to our own family: Argyle, Northlake, Denton, Justin, and Flower Mound.
Every client behind this ranking is a family we know by name. The Bennetts, who became the first-ever homeowners at Landmark by Hillwood. The Sinclairs, who went contract-to-close in 69 days. First-time buyers, relocations, new construction journeys we walked from dirt to drywall to keys. This recognition belongs to them as much as it does to us.
And it belongs to our team — Kyra, Randy, and Katherine — who prove every day that "small team" doesn't mean small standard.
What This Means If You're Buying or Selling in the I-35W Corridor
Here's the practical takeaway. When you hire a RealTrends Verified team, you're not trusting a slogan. You're trusting audited performance in your exact market:
- Verified local production — our results in Argyle, Northlake, Denton, Justin, and Flower Mound have been independently confirmed, not self-reported.
- New construction depth — we've personally lived the new-build process seven times, and we've guided clients through Landmark by Hillwood, Pecan Square, Harvest, Treeline, and Furst Ranch.
- Straight talk, no fluff — the same Spirit-led counsel we'd give our own parents, our own kids, our own church family.
Our Thank You
To our clients: you trusted us with the biggest financial and family decision most people ever make. We do not take that lightly, and we never will.
To our team: this is yours.
To our Lord: every closing, every ranking, every open door — Soli Deo Gloria.
If you're thinking about buying or selling along the I-35W Alliance Corridor, we'd be honored to earn your trust the same way we earned this recognition: one verified result at a time.
