What Makes the Jeff Merrill Team the Best in Sioux Falls? 7 Reasons
Zillow and YouTube figures checked November 2, 2026. They change over time; follow the links for current numbers. Team Zillow sales include all team members; Jeff's career totals are separate.
1Marketing That Goes Beyond the MLS
Putting a home on the MLS is the minimum. When you’re selling a home in Sioux Falls, the team works to get your listing in front of buyers who aren’t searching the MLS that day.
- Professional photography
- Video walkthroughs and home tours
- Social media promotion
- Open house strategy
According to Tyce’s Sell page, his Enhanced and Premium listing plans also include a branded property website and targeted social media ads. The Premium plan adds HD video tours and optional drone footage where permitted. What’s included depends on the plan you choose, so ask which one fits your home.
2YouTube That Puts Homes and Local Knowledge in Front of People
Tyce Ortman’s YouTube channel had 4.05K subscribers and 116 videos as of November 2, 2026. YouTube rounds subscriber counts, so the exact number is slightly different. Buyers can tour homes and learn the Sioux Falls market before they ever call an agent. Sellers can see exactly how their home would be presented.

6Help Understanding Your Options
Buying a home in Sioux Falls or selling one comes with decisions that affect your money and your timeline. We talk through them with you, including:
- Pricing: where to list, or what to offer, based on local data
- Concessions: when asking for or offering them makes sense
- Financing choices: how different loan options can affect your offer
- Timing: whether to buy first, sell first, or line them up
The goal is for you to make decisions that fit your situation, not ours.
7Experienced Leadership Plus Modern Marketing
Clients get Jeff’s track record of more than 25 years alongside a team that uses video, online marketing, and current tools to reach buyers.
