North Dakota’s Top Rated Local® Real Estate Brokers Award Winner: Brokers 12

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Brokers 12 is a 2019 award winner for real estate brokers in North Dakota!

Whether you’re buying or selling a home, you need the right real estate team on your side. Luckily, in Minot, you have Brokers 12.

Brokers 12 has received dozens of reviews on multiple verified sites with an average rating of 4.98 stars, earning them an outstanding Rating Score™ of 94.84 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top 10 real estate brokers in all of North Dakota!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Sammy just helped us buy our new house, and we couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor®! She was extremely patient (we looked for about a year and a half before we found the one) and very helpful. Being first-time home buyers can be confusing, but she made it stress-free and fun! We fully recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.” – Mariah B.

Not Your Average Real Estate Agency

Ashley Lawson, Marketing Specialist at Brokers 12, generously gave us a few minutes of her time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Brokers 12 apart from the many other real estate brokers in North Dakota. Here’s Ashley’s response:

“We’re locally owned, not a franchise, and we’re a multi-million dollar business. We strive to dominate the local market, because we actually live here. We’ve been in business for 38 years, so we’re extremely active and involved with our community.”

She went on to add:

“We have three full-time office staffers to ensure that you’re buying and selling as quickly as possible. That means there’s always at least one agent at our home base. We specialize in relocation investments, commercial properties and other services outside of just home buying. Since we’re broker-owned, we have 14 people who all own the company equally and 24 agents.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Brokers 12 and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Ashley had to say:

“We have a unique real estate company with a group that is trying to sell the right home to the right people…. We try to match prospective clients with agents who have personalities that we think would fit with theirs. We’re trying to represent their best interests while also getting them the best price.”

Building Success by Being Active on Social Media

When we asked Ashley about Brokers 12’s secret to such a strong online reputation, she said:

“We passively solicit reviews by being active on social media, which is especially important.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Brokers 12 has spread the word about who they are and what they do through community involvement — they serve at banquets, soup kitchens and more — and they are planning to start doing mailers with a digital marketing campaign to match in the future.

Clearly, Ashley knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“The biggest thing that I push our agents to keep in mind is what they are looking at when they’re surfing online for services. Think of it as though you are the client — what would you look for? What platforms make sense for your vertical as a consumer?”


Congratulations to the team at Brokers 12 for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Ashley, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Brokers 12 in Minot. Visit their website today!
