Awards and Rankings | Amy Stockberger Real Estate

Amy Stockberger Real Estate in Sioux Falls, South Dakota won Most Innovative Team at the 2026 Inman Innovator Awards, ranks in the top 40 nationally on RealTrends, has been voted Local Best in Sioux Falls every year since 2009, and has been the #1 producing real estate team in Sioux Falls and South Dakota since 2017.

The Full Award and Ranking Record

Four different bodies, measuring four different things. National innovation, national production, local public vote, and state level output. Agreement across all four is the part worth noticing.

Most Innovative Team at the 2026 Inman Innovator Awards

Inman is the national trade publication the real estate industry reads. Its Innovator Awards recognize companies changing how the business operates rather than companies with the largest advertising budget.

Amy Stockberger Real Estate won Most Innovative Team in the 2026 class. The official winners announcement lists the team by name, and the Inman Innovator Awards page carries the program itself.

The innovation being recognized is Lifetime Home Support™, the client for life model Amy Stockberger started building in 2015. Amy also writes for the publication about how other brokerages build the same structure, collected on her Inman author page.

Top 40 Nationally on RealTrends

RealTrends is the ranking body brokerages watch most closely, because its rankings come from verified production rather than self reported claims.

Amy Stockberger Real Estate sits in the top 40 nationally. The RealTrends team profile holds the record.

Context matters on this one. Roughly 1.5 million agents hold licenses in the United States. A top 40 national team position out of a market of this size, run from a city of Sioux Falls’s population, is an outlier result rather than a regional one.

Local Best Every Year Since 2009

The Local Best award in Sioux Falls comes from a public vote by residents. No panel, no submission fee, no industry jury.

Amy Stockberger Real Estate has won it every year since 2009. The Local Best winner page carries the listing.

Seventeen consecutive years of a public vote measures something no industry award reaches. Whether your neighbor would send her sister. A single win reflects a good campaign. Seventeen in a row reflects the work.

The same standard runs through the Home Support Team, a referral network of 120+ vendor partners who have each been voted Local Best themselves. Amy Stockberger Real Estate refers clients to those partners and does not own or operate them.

#1 in Sioux Falls and South Dakota Since 2017

Amy Stockberger Real Estate has held the #1 producing real estate team position in Sioux Falls and across South Dakota since 2017.

Nine consecutive years spans two sharply different markets. The 2020 and 2021 run of low inventory and fast sales, and the slower, more price sensitive years following it. Holding the top position through both means the result came from structure rather than conditions.

The Production Numbers Behind the Awards

What the 4.2x Figure Measures

Agents at Amy Stockberger Real Estate serve 4.2 times more clients per year than the average Sioux Falls agent. Two explanations exist for a number like this, and only one survives scrutiny.

The first is volume without service, where files get processed and clients get forgotten. A brokerage running this way shows it in the repeat rate. New business would arrive from advertising instead of relationships.

The second explanation is structure. Division of labor by role, dedicated buyer specialists, dedicated listing specialists, a transaction team on every file, the One Roof Solution covering lending, title, insurance, design and property management, and Home Sweet Concierge carrying the ownership years.

Over 90% repeat and referral business points to the second explanation. Clients returning at this rate are reporting on the service, not on the marketing.

Why This Matters in Sioux Falls SD

Awards matter because of what a mistake costs you here. The Sioux Falls median listing price reached $368,000 in June 2026, according to FRED data from the St. Louis Fed. A one percent difference in negotiation is roughly $3,680 of your money on a median priced home.

Median days on market ran 47 days in August 2026, per FRED market data. Pricing accuracy decides which side of seven weeks your listing lands on, and pricing accuracy comes from repetition.

Sioux Falls also draws steady out of state arrivals who have no local network to ask. For a relocating buyer, a verifiable public record from four independent bodies is the only substitute for a neighbor’s recommendation.
