1#1 in Sides Sold Among eXp Small Teams for July 2026
eXp Realty publishes a production leaderboard that ranks its teams by closed transactions. In July 2026, the Jeff Merrill Team finished #1 among small teams in sides sold. July is one of the busiest months of the Sioux Falls market, and that's when pricing and marketing decisions matter most.
