Jeff Duneske Named a 2026 RealTrends Verified Top 100 Real Estate Agent in Michigan

I am grateful to have been named among the 2026 RealTrends Verified Top 100 individual real estate agents in Michigan by sales volume, based on 2025 production.

It is an honor to be included on a list like this. What matters more to me is what the recognition represents: clients, families, repeat customers and referral partners who trusted me to help them make important real estate decisions.

After more than 25 years in real estate, I still approach the work the same way. Give people clear information, explain their options, build a thoughtful strategy, and help them make decisions they can feel confident about.

What RealTrends Verified Means

RealTrends Verified collects and verifies residential production data and publishes rankings for agents and teams at the national, state and city levels. The 2026 rankings reflect production from the 2025 calendar year.

Being named among Michigan's Top 100 individual agents by sales volume is one measure of experience and production. It is also worth keeping rankings in perspective.

A high level of production tells you that an agent has handled a significant number of transactions and has worked through a range of markets, negotiations and problems. It does not, by itself, tell you whether that person is the right agent for you.

What Matters More Than an Award

Whether you are selling a longtime family home, buying your first home, relocating, or simply deciding what your next move should be, a few things matter more than any ranking.

You should feel comfortable asking questions.

You should understand the strategy behind the recommendations you receive.

You should know how your agent communicates, how they negotiate, and how they respond when something does not go according to plan.

If you are selling, you should understand how your agent arrived at the recommended price, how the property will be positioned in the market, and what will be done to produce the strongest result.

Experience matters most when it helps someone make a better decision.

More Than 25 Years in Metro Detroit Real Estate

I have been helping buyers and sellers throughout Metro Detroit since 2000, with much of my work focused in Northville, Novi, South Lyon, Plymouth and the surrounding communities.

Over that time, I have helped more than 1,300 buyers and sellers and closed more than $400 million in residential real estate sales.

Those transactions have included first-time purchases, competitive multiple-offer situations, luxury properties, relocations, downsizing, and sales involving more complicated family or financial circumstances.

No two transactions are exactly alike, and that is one reason experience becomes valuable.

Markets change. Interest rates change. Technology changes. Negotiations change.

The responsibility to give people sound advice does not.

Reputation Matters Too

One of the things I am most proud of is the feedback clients have shared after working with me.

I have received more than 450 verified five-star reviews across Google, Zillow and RateMyAgent.

Those reviews carry as much meaning to me as any production ranking because they describe what the experience of working together was actually like.

A significant portion of my business also comes from repeat clients and referrals.

There is no greater compliment than a past client calling years later when they are ready for another move, or trusting me enough to recommend me to a friend or family member.

Thank You

I appreciate Keller Williams Michigan and Northern Ohio for recognizing the RealTrends achievement, and I am grateful to RealTrends for the verification.

More importantly, thank you to the clients, friends, families and referral partners who have continued to place their trust in me.

The recognition is appreciated.

The trust behind it means considerably more.

If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Northville, Novi, South Lyon, Plymouth or elsewhere in Metro Detroit and would like to talk through your options, you are welcome to reach out.

No pressure. Just clarity.
