#1 Real Estate Team in Nevada: Inside the RealTrends Ranking

Why Is Nevada Real Estate Group Ranked #1 in Nevada?

RealTrends released its RealTrends Verified 2026 rankings on June 5, 2026, as HousingWire reported. The 2026 rankings measure calendar-year 2025 production. They also sort teams into size categories, so a five-agent team is not ranked against a 150-agent one. Nevada Real Estate Group competes in the Enterprise category, which RealTrends' ranking FAQ defines as teams with 51 or more licensed agents. HousingWire reports that 181 teams made up the first Enterprise class nationwide.

In RealTrends' Nevada enterprise-team ranking by transaction sides, NREG placed first with 789 sides and $361.58 million in closed 2025 volume, and it placed first in Nevada by volume as well. The team's June 2026 release on PR Newswire adds the national picture: #44 in the U.S. by sides and #50 by volume. Elsewhere on this site the volume is shown as $361.5 million.

That is the verified record this article relies on, and it covers one production year. An earlier version of this page described a multi-year run at #1 and a 2025 transaction count that we could not document from RealTrends data or the team's own release. Both have been corrected, and the operating statistics built on them have been removed.

What Does the RealTrends #1 Ranking Actually Measure?

RealTrends Verified is a submissions-based program. According to RealTrends' ranking FAQ, agents and teams provide their own production for review and pay an annual $195 submission fee. Anyone who does not submit, or does not supply verification, is left out. RealTrends prefers verification by the team's managing broker through its electronic system. It also accepts MLS data, production reports from CRM software, or a signed letter from the managing broker.

The same FAQ sets what counts toward a team's totals:

• Residential sales only. Homes, condos and multi-family buildings of four units or fewer count. Commercial deals, referrals, land, lots, leases and rentals do not.
• Both sides of one sale. A team that represents the buyer and the seller in the same sale counts two sides and counts the sale price twice in its volume.
• Co-listings are split. When agents co-list a property, the side and the volume are divided among them.
• A floor to be ranked. To appear in the national and state rankings, a team needs at least 40 residential sides or $16 million in closed volume.

Revenue, profit, commission rates, days on market, sale-to-list price ratios and client satisfaction are not part of the RealTrends data. A #1 ranking says nothing about any of them, in either direction. It tells you how much verified residential business a team closed in one year, within its size category.

Who Leads the Team, and How Large Is It?

Chris Nevada founded and leads Nevada Real Estate Group, which operates under LPT Realty. According to the team's About page, Chris came to real estate after a 16-year U.S. Navy career as a Chief Petty Officer. He has 16+ years in residential real estate, and the team now numbers 150+ agents. His Nevada license, S.181401, can be checked with the Nevada Real Estate Division.

The team publishes two kinds of numbers, and they should be read separately. The 2025 figures were independently verified by RealTrends. The career figures are the team's own published totals. They cover different periods and are never added together.

The team has not published a year-by-year history of its headcount, agent tenure or retention, so this article does not give one.

Where Does the Team Work Across Nevada?

The About page lists the team's coverage in both halves of the state. In Southern Nevada that is Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas and Boulder City. In Northern Nevada it is Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Lake Tahoe and Incline Village. Individual Las Vegas-valley neighborhoods such as Centennial Hills, Spring Valley and Aliante have their own guides on this site.

Because RealTrends ranks the team statewide, the 789 sides include business in both regions. Neither RealTrends nor the team has published a breakdown of those sides by community, city or price range. If you want to know how much business a team does in your neighborhood, ask the agent for an MLS report of their closed sales there.

How Does 789 Sides Compare With the 2025 Las Vegas Market?

Las Vegas REALTORS' year-end numbers, as reported by Nevada Business on January 6, 2026, show a slow year. Southern Nevada recorded 28,498 sales of existing homes, condos and townhomes in 2025, the lowest annual total since 2007 and about 9% below the 31,305 sold in 2024. The December 2025 median single-family price was $470,000, down 1.1% from December 2024 and 3.9% below the $488,995 record set in November 2025, a record the median later topped at $490,000 in May and June 2026, according to Las Vegas REALTORS figures reported by FOX5. Condos and townhomes had a December median of $275,000. In December, 22.7% of sales were cash purchases, and the sales pace equated to nearly a four-month housing supply.

The team's release compares its 789 sides with that 28,498 total and puts its share at about 2.8% of Southern Nevada residential closings. Treat that as an approximation. Sides and sales are different units, because one sale has up to two sides, and the team's sides are statewide while the 28,498 figure covers Southern Nevada only.

What Do the Verified Numbers Show, and What Do They Leave Out?

Dividing $361.58 million by 789 sides gives an average of about $458,000 per side. That is a simple average of the two verified figures, not a median sale price, so it should not be compared directly with the $470,000 Las Vegas REALTORS median. An average is pulled up by high-priced sales in a way a median is not. A sale in which the team represented both parties counts twice in both totals, which leaves the average unchanged but means 789 sides is not the same as 789 homes.

Several things are not published by RealTrends or the team: revenue, profit, commission rates, per-agent production, agent retention, days on market and sale-to-list ratios. If an agent quotes you one of those numbers, ask for the report behind it and the dates it covers. A figure without a source and a date is not something to base a hiring decision on.

What Does the Team Offer Military Buyers and Sellers?

The About page says the team was founded by a 16-year Navy veteran and has VA-loan specialists and PCS-relocation-trained agents serving military clients at Nellis AFB, Creech AFB and beyond. The team has not published what share of its business comes from military clients.

The loan program itself is documented by the Department of Veterans Affairs. According to VA's home loan page, nearly 90% of VA-backed loans are made with no down payment, and VA-backed loans carry no private mortgage insurance. Borrowers need a Certificate of Eligibility to show a lender that they qualify based on service history and duty status. Our VA loan guide for Nellis AFB buyers and moving-to-Las Vegas hub cover the local steps.

How Does NREG's #1 Ranking Affect Client Experience and Outcomes?

A volume ranking tells you a team closes a large amount of verified residential business. It does not tell you who will handle your file, how your home will be marketed, or what price you will get. Those depend on the individual agent, the plan you agree to, and the market.

Read the original review profiles for client comments, publication dates and the exact team, office or individual covered. Platform counts and averages are not combined here. Individual comments describe personal experiences; they do not establish a measured satisfaction rate or guarantee negotiation, pricing or closing outcomes.

Before hiring any team, ask three things. First, which agent will represent you, and how many sides did that agent close personally last year? Second, what exactly does the plan include? Sellers can compare NREG's published listing deliverables on the sellers page and in our guide to what a 150-agent team means for sellers. Buyers can review buyer representation. Third, how is the agent paid? Under NRS 645.252, an agent must disclose each source of compensation and whether they are acting for more than one party to the transaction.

How Can You Verify a Team's Ranking and License Yourself?

You do not have to take a team's word for its ranking. Every claim in this article can be checked from primary sources:

• The ranking. RealTrends publishes its state rankings by category. Check the category (enterprise, mega, large and so on), the measure (sides or volume) and the program year, since the 2026 rankings cover 2025 production.
• The license. The Nevada Real Estate Division's licensee search confirms an agent's license status. The Division also posts Real Estate Commission orders by year, which you can search for an agent's or broker's name.
• The reviews. Read reviews on the platform where they were posted, with their dates, rather than as a single combined number.
• The awards. Our press and awards page lists the team's recognitions with their programs and years.
