Recognized by RealTrends Verified: A Prestigious Industry Honor
The Monarque Group has been recently named the #5 Best Small Real Estate Team in Illinois by RealTrends Verified, a trusted and nationally respected source for residential real estate rankings, news, and analysis. Even more impressively, they are the only team in the top five based in Naperville, Illinois—a reflection of both their hyperlocal and broad market reach.
This recognition is based on their performance in 2024 and represents their 2025 RealTrends Verified ranking. The Monarque Group, partnered with @properties Christie's International Real Estate, is made up of five full-time broker who bring passion, skill, and market savvy to every client relationship. In 2024, the team closed $73.70 million in sales volume, with an average home price of $752,024—a testament to their ability to deliver results to their clients in a competitive marketplace.
Understanding RealTrends Verified Rankings
RealTrends Verified uses independently reviewed sales data to identify and rank the top-performing agents and teams across the U.S. To qualify, teams must meet rigorous performance benchmarks and submit their transaction data for verification. Rankings are based on objective metrics—sales volume and number of transactions—rather than marketing or self-submitted accolades.
For clients, that means these rankings represent proof of consistent, high-level performance. For the Monarque Group, being ranked in the top five small teams in Illinois is a reflection of their collective dedication, discipline, and drive.
Continuing the Legacy of Monarque
The Monarque Group was founded in 2003 by a former business consultant to Fortune 500 companies—an origin that shaped the team’s professional ethos from day one. With a deep understanding of strategy, data, and high-level client service, the founder brought a consulting mindset to the real estate industry. This foundation led to the team’s guiding philosophy:
“Our clients are intelligent, well-educated consumers who will not be ‘sold’ anything. We consult with our clients and provide them with the information they need to make informed purchase or sales decisions—and then follow through on the execution of that decision.”
Over the past two decades, this philosophy has attracted discerning clients who value insight, transparency, and results. While the Monarque Group has developed a specialized niche in distinctive and historic properties within the downtown Naperville real estate market, their expertise extends far beyond the city’s core. They are proud to serve as the go-to team for buyers and sellers throughout Naperville and the surrounding western suburbs.
Their longevity and repeat recognition by RealTrends Verified speak to more than just sales figures—they reflect a team that is deeply committed to long-term relationships and client success.
Monarque Group is partnered with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, Chicagoland’s #1 brokerage. Through our affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate, our network spans nearly 50 countries. No matter your real estate needs, we’ve got you covered.
