The Aaron & Geoff Team Ranked Among the Top 1.5% of Real Estate Professionals Nationwide, RealTrends
From a two-person vision in 2020 to a nationally recognized real estate team, we’re honored to be named to the 2026 RealTrends VERIFIED list. Thank you to the clients, neighbors, and partners who helped us achieve this milestone.
We are incredibly honored to announce that our team has officially been named to the 2026 RealTrends VERIFIED list, ranking us among the top 1.5% of real estate professionals in the entire United States.

For those outside the real estate industry, it’s worth explaining how unique this specific ranking is. Supported by HousingWire, RealTrends VERIFIED is widely considered the industry’s gold standard for performance data. It is not an award based on popularity votes, paid entries, or subjective nominations. To be included, every single transaction and dollar of sales volume must be tracked, submitted, and independently verified by a third party.
Out of more than 1.5 million licensed real estate professionals across the country, earning a place among the top 1.5% is a milestone we do not take lightly. When Geoff and I first started this team back in 2020 at 26 years old, we simply wanted to build a business anchored in hard work, integrity, and localized expertise. Receiving this national recognition five years later is a powerful validation of that vision.
- Top 1.5% Nationally: Recognized among the highest-performing real estate professionals in the country through a rigorous third-party verification process.
- More Than $50 Million in Closed Sales Volume: A milestone achieved through consistent performance across highly distinct local micro-markets and a commitment to serving clients through every stage of the market cycle.
- 100+ Successful Transactions: Experience spanning luxury single-family homes, first-time co-op purchases, investment properties, estate sales, and probate transactions—each with its own unique challenges and opportunities.
- Core Regional Focus: Results concentrated directly within our local communities across Riverdale, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Westchester.
Excelling in a Challenging Market
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is the market environment in which it was earned. The 2026 RealTrends VERIFIED rankings were based on 2025 production, a year marked by elevated mortgage rates, affordability challenges, and slower transaction activity across much of the country. Yet our team continued to deliver results for our clients, producing more than $15,000,000 in sales volume.
For our team, that means remaining disciplined, data-driven, and hyper-focused on the neighborhoods we serve. Whether advising a first-time buyer, marketing a luxury property, or helping families navigate estate and probate sales, our goal remains the same: deliver clear guidance and exceptional execution regardless of market conditions.
Driven by Our Community
While we are deeply honored by the statistics published by RealTrends, we know that these metrics are entirely driven by the relationships we’ve built locally. Behind every single one of those 100+ verified transactions is a neighbor who chose us to protect their investments and execute a major financial move on their behalf.
An achievement of this scale requires an elite support network. We are incredibly grateful to our entire group of local agents and support staff who manage our day-to-day operations with precision, as well as our wider network at Compass for providing the technology, marketing resources, and market intelligence that help our clients stay competitive. Compass agents and teams were strongly represented throughout the 2026 RealTrends VERIFIED rankings, further demonstrating the strength of the platform and the professionals it supports.
Most importantly, we want to thank our clients, referral partners, and neighbors. Whether we’ve negotiated an intricate deal for your family or connected with you at local events like Riverdale Pride, your business is the true foundation of this ranking.
We are proud to see our team’s hard work recognized on a national stage, but the market never stops moving. We are right back to analyzing the numbers, refining our strategies, and ensuring our clients continue to receive top-tier representation.
Whether you’re considering a move, preparing to sell, navigating an estate transaction, or simply looking for a data-driven perspective on your neighborhood’s market, we’d be happy to help.
