We're #1 in Tennessee — And #17 in the Nation. Here's What That Means for You.

June 5, 2026 - If you've been searching for the top real estate team in Franklin, TN or the best real estate agents in Middle Tennessee, we have some exciting news to share. The LCT Team at Onward Real Estate has officially been named the #1 real estate team in Tennessee and #17 in the nation for sales volume among large teams — according to the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings, released today.

What Is RealTrends — And Why Does It Matter?

RealTrends Verified is widely considered the gold standard for real estate team rankings in the United States. Each year, they independently verify sales data submitted by top-producing teams and agents across the country. To appear on this list — let alone rank in the top 20 nationally — a team must demonstrate exceptional, verified production. Our 2026 ranking is based on $392.63 million in sales volume and 270 closed transactions in 2025. That's real results for real clients, not a popularity contest.

What This Means If You're Buying or Selling in Middle Tennessee

Rankings are only meaningful if they translate to a better experience for you — and that's exactly what we're focused on. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer in Franklin or Brentwood, a luxury home seller in Williamson County, or someone relocating to Nashville from out of state, our team brings deep local market expertise backed by nationally verified production. We know the neighborhoods, the builders, the inventory, and the nuances that make Middle Tennessee real estate unlike anywhere else.

Moving to Tennessee? Here's Why Local Expertise Matters More Than Ever.

Tennessee continues to attract buyers from across the country — from California, New York, Illinois, and beyond — drawn by no state income tax, strong job growth, and an incredible quality of life. But the Middle Tennessee market moves fast, and having a top-ranked local real estate team in your corner can be the difference between landing your dream home and missing out. The LCT Team has helped hundreds of out-of-state buyers navigate relocations to Franklin, Brentwood, Spring Hill, College Grove, and the greater Nashville area — and we bring that same intentional, personalized approach to every single client.

Why Clients Choose the LCT Team

Led by Lisa Culp Taylor, the LCT Team at Onward Real Estate has built a reputation across Middle Tennessee for combining high-level market knowledge with a genuinely personal client experience. We specialize in luxury and new construction communities across Williamson County and the greater Nashville area — and our national ranking reflects what our clients have always known: we show up, we know our market, and we deliver. We're also proud to be the #1 team at Onward Real Estate since the brokerage opened in summer 2024.
