Clients who prefer an independent brokerage
RES Realty operates as a smaller, home-based-agent brokerage rather than a national franchise, which some clients prefer.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Troy Scott against other researched agents using the same scoring model; it is not a statewide MLS production ranking. The displayed order follows the published five-factor score. The math is fixed; the five input scores are editorial evaluations of the public evidence available through July 2026.
- Ranking formula
- Local knowledge 25% + client reviews 25% + market expertise 20% + communication 15% + specialization fit 15%.
- Time period
- Evidence reviewed through July 2026. Review totals are snapshots; career claims may cover longer periods and must state that context.
- Objective vs. editorial
- The weighted calculation is deterministic after the inputs are assigned. Selecting evidence and assigning each dimension score require editorial judgment.
- Commercial independence
- Agents cannot purchase inclusion, a score, numbered position, or favorable verdict. Any sponsorship must appear outside the editorial ranking.
- Transaction-data boundary
- This edition does not use a private MLS feed or a standardized file of verified 2025 closings. Sales volume, homes sold, sale-to-list ratio, and days on market are not assumed when attributable evidence is unavailable.
- Independent corroboration
- Government records control licensing facts. Brokerage, agent, review-platform, award, and production claims are kept distinct; agreement across sources raises confidence but does not erase source limitations.
Evidence captured for this profile
- Minnesota license record
- No license number is stored in this profile; use the state lookup for current status.
- Public review aggregate
- No review aggregate is recorded; missing data is not treated as zero.
- Professional first-party source
- TroyScottHomes.com is linked for direct review of the agent's current public claims.
Exact field-level source URLs are not yet available for every narrative claim. Until they are, production and award statements should be treated as attributed public claims—not as independently audited MLS facts.
