What do the stats mean?
RealTrends is the real estate industry's standard production ranking. It covers more than 50,000 agents and teams nationwide and ranks them by city and category using verified closed-transaction data from the previous year. Placing #1 among Charlotte small teams by sales volume means no other small team in the city closed more dollar volume in 2025. Anyone can check the number. That is the point.
why this matters for
buyers and sellers
In 2025 The Finigan Group closed 101 transaction sides. The next team on the Charlotte small-team list closed 58. Small team is a RealTrends size category, not a description of results. It means fewer agents handle every transaction. In our case that is 101 closings a year moving through a team where Josh Finigan is involved in every listing, not delegated to a roster of forty agents. Sellers get the marketing budget and systems of a high-volume team and the attention of a small one. The 200-Step Marketing Plan and the 29 Day Sale Guarantee exist because that combination is possible at this size.
Across our history, the team has served more than 800 families and closed over $280 million in Charlotte-area real estate. We hold more than 500 five-star reviews and have been voted Best Real Estate Team three years running. Our listings sell in 17 days on average. We serve Charlotte and its surrounding markets, including Ballantyne, SouthPark, Myers Park, Waxhaw, Weddington, Matthews, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, and Lake Norman.
the story
behind the
ranking
I was genuinely surprised when I saw this. The Finigan Group was just named the #1 small team in Charlotte, NC and #13 small team in North Carolina by RealTrends.We've been building this team slowly, year by year, and it's wild to look back and see how far we've come. There have been plenty of obstacles and setbacks along the way. But I'm honored to work alongside such an amazing group of people.
The truth is, rankings never tell the whole story. They don't show the late nights, the deals that nearly fell apart, the hard conversations, the mistakes, the adjustments, the prayers, the pressure, or the people who kept showing up anyway. What they really don't show is the culture we've built together. This team doesn't just work well together, we genuinely like each other, push each other, and show up for each other. That's rare, and I don't take it for granted.
And honestly, none of this means anything without our clients. We've gotten to meet some incredible people and walk alongside them through some of the biggest moments of their lives, buying their first home, selling the house they raised their kids in, relocating for a new job, starting over after a loss. Getting trusted with that is not something we take lightly. Every one of those relationships is part of this ranking too.
None of this happens without my wife and family, who put up with the long hours, the nights, and the weekends. That sacrifice is on this ranking too, even if it doesn't have a name on it.
We are not a perfect team. We're just a group of people who care deeply, work hard, and genuinely want to serve people well. I'm shocked, humbled, grateful, and excited about what's next.
This recognition has our name on it, but it belongs to a whole lot of people, our clients, our agents, our families, and everyone who's believed in us along the way. Thank you for helping us get here. The future looks VERY bright! We're just getting started.

What our clients say
The reviews below are pulled from our Google Business Profile, unedited, in our clients' own words. A ranking is a number. This is what the number felt like.
01"Josh and his team did an outstanding job selling our home. After working with two other realtors who were unable to get it sold, Josh stepped in and completely turned things around. His communication was excellent, he was always available to answer questions and kept us informed every step of the way, which made the entire process much less stressful. What really set him apart was his marketing strategy. His use of YouTube and other marketing channels gave our home incredible exposure and brought in the right buyers quickly. Not only did he help us get the price we wanted, but he did it in under 30 days."
02"Josh is very good at what he does. He is honest and will get you the most money for your house. He knows the market inside and out and doesn't feed you a bunch of nonsense. He came into my house on a Tuesday afternoon and by that Saturday evening we had 3 offers and one over asking price. In those four days he took beautiful pictures, did measurements, marketed our property and helped stage the house. Josh's entire team is very competent and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend the Finigan Group to anyone looking for top dollar selling their house."
03"5 stars isn't enough for Josh Finigan and his incredible team at the Finigan Group! His innovative approach to marketing our property, including a fantastic video showcase, really helped our home stand out. But what truly impressed us was Josh's professionalism and expertise. From the initial listing date to closing, Josh and his team worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. And the results speak for themselves. We were under contract in just 4 days and closed 32 days after listing!"
