The Muñoz Group Is Now RealTrends Verified: A Top Small Team in Austin

 

What RealTrends Verified Means for a Top Austin Real Estate Team

What makes a top Austin real estate team? One benchmark is RealTrends Verified, an independent ranking that confirms actual production (transaction sides and sales volume) against verified data. Teams that qualify represent the top 1.5% of real estate professionals in the country. The Muñoz Group at Compass earned the 2025 designation with 102 transaction sides and $74.43M in verified sales volume, ranking among the top small teams in Austin by volume and #16 in Texas overall.

We have some news.

RealTrends just released their 2025 Verified rankings, and The Muñoz Group at Compass is on the list: ranked as a top small team in Austin, #16 in Texas by volume, and #26 in Texas by sides. That puts us in the top 1.5% of real estate teams in the country, based on verified 2025 sales data.

We don’t share this to brag. We share it because when you’re choosing a team to represent one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, credentials like this are how you separate the people who say they’re experienced from the ones who can prove it.

What RealTrends Verified Actually Means

RealTrends doesn’t accept self-reported numbers. The Verified designation means our 2025 production (102 transaction sides and $74.43M in sales volume) was independently confirmed against actual data. That’s what makes it meaningful: any team can put impressive numbers on their website. RealTrends makes you prove it.

The ranking also puts our Austin performance in national context. There are roughly 3 million licensed real estate agents in the United States. Qualifying for a RealTrends Verified designation means you’re in the top 1.5% of them.

What This Means If You’re Thinking About Buying or Selling in Austin

Honestly, the ranking itself isn’t what should matter to you most. What matters is what it reflects: 26 years in the Austin market, 1,800+ clients served, and a team built to handle the full range of what Austin real estate looks like in 2025 and 2026. A more balanced market, more inventory, longer days on market, and real room for buyers to negotiate.

We’ve sold in the frenzy years and we’re selling now. The team, the process, and the market knowledge are the same either way.

If you’re preparing to sell, the RealTrends production data is one signal that our pricing and marketing approach works in real market conditions, not just a hot market where anything sells. If you’re buying, it’s a signal that we’ve navigated a lot of transactions. The edge cases, the difficult negotiations, and the deals that almost fell apart are where that experience actually shows up.

By the Numbers: 2025 RealTrends Verified Performance

  • 102 transaction sides
  • $74.43M in verified sales volume
  • Top small team in Austin by volume
  • #16 in Texas by volume
  • #26 in Texas by sides
  • Top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationally

This is based on 2025 sales data, independently verified by RealTrends.

A Note from Lisa

This recognition belongs to the whole team: Teel, Janine, Juanita, Colby, Helen, Joe and Karen. Every transaction in that 102 had someone on this team showing up for a client in a moment that mattered. That’s what I’m proud of.

If you’re thinking about your next move in Austin (buying, selling, or just starting to explore what’s possible), we’d love to be part of it. Reach out anytime at munozaustin.com/connect.
