I've Been Named a RealTrends Verified Top Agent by Volume — Here's What That Actually Means for You
In real estate, "top producer" is a claim anyone can print on a business card. Having it independently verified is a different thing entirely.
That's why I'm so proud to share this news: on June 8, I was officially recognized as a RealTrends Verified Top Agent by Volume, a distinction that places me among the top 1.5% of real estate agents and teams nationwide.
RealTrends is one of the most trusted names in real estate performance data, and what makes this recognition different from the usual industry awards is right there in the name: verified. The numbers aren't self-reported. They're confirmed by an independent third party, so the results stand entirely on their own. You don't have to take my word for it — you can view my verified profile directly on RealTrends.
The Verified Numbers Behind the Recognition
This honor is based on my confirmed 2025 sales performance:
$0.00M
Verified Sales Volume
0
Homes Closed
$0.0K
Average Home Price
Independently verified by RealTrends — Based on 2025 sales data
But here's what I want you to understand about those numbers. Each one represents a real person — a first-time buyer getting keys to their starter home, a growing family upsizing, a seller closing one chapter so they could start the next.
Every figure is a door opened and a family settled into home. That is the heart of this work.
It's the part no ranking can fully capture.
Why Independent Verification Matters When You Choose an Agent
If you're buying or selling a home in Burbank or anywhere in the greater Los Angeles area, you're about to hand someone an enormous responsibility. Your agent will set the price, run the marketing, fight for your terms at the negotiating table, and carry the transaction safely to the closing date — through what is, for most people, the largest financial decision of their lives.
The challenge? Almost every agent's marketing says the same thing.
"Top producer." "Award-winning." "Number one in the area."
Independent verification removes the guesswork. When RealTrends confirms an agent's production, it means the experience and the results are real, consistent, and earned — not just a tagline. In a market like ours, where the median list price in Burbank now sits around $1.5 million, that proof matters more than ever.
This Recognition Belongs to More People Than Me
To my clients: you trusted me with one of the most important decisions of your life, and I held that trust close every step of the way.
To my friends and family: your referrals, your encouragement, and your constant support are woven into every closing.
To my vendors and partners: your expertise and reliability make every smooth closing possible. Thank you for being part of the team.
Your name belongs on this recognition right beside mine.
Where the Focus Goes Next
I see this milestone as a starting point, not a trophy shelf.
My next priority is raising the standard of what clients can expect from Tooyn Homes across Burbank and the greater Los Angeles area. That means sharper pricing and negotiation strategy for sellers in a competitive market, marketing built to reach the buyers most likely to fall in love with each home, and a smooth, communicative process from the first conversation to the final signature.
If buying or selling a home is part of your 2026 plans, I'd welcome the chance to talk it through — just an honest conversation about your goals and what the market looks like for you, with zero commitment expected.
