OnDemand Realty, an independent brokerage based in Frisco, Texas, is on the 2026 RealTrends Verified brokerage rankings, which measure residential production in calendar year 2025. The public profile, reviewed on November 15, 2026, lists 2,875 transaction sides, $754.03 million in sales volume, a national sides rank of 207, a national volume rank of 447, and 241 active licensed agents.

Those figures earned OnDemand a place on both of RealTrends' national "500" lists: 500 by Sides and 500 by Volume. This guide explains what RealTrends is, how the rankings work, and what the verified numbers mean for buyers, sellers, and agents who are considering a Dallas-Fort Worth brokerage. It also adds a careers section, drawn from OnDemand's public careers page, on why agents choose the firm. The ranking figures come only from OnDemand's RealTrends profile or from RealTrends' own 2026 ranking materials and press coverage. It does not invent a year-over-year growth rate, because the public profile does not list a prior-year RealTrends comparison.

Key Takeaways

The 2026 rankings measure 2025 production. RealTrends released the 2026 brokerage rankings on April 10, 2026. They cover residential closings from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, not sales that have closed in 2026.
OnDemand's verified 2025 totals are 2,875 sides and $754.03 million in volume. Those numbers, along with an average home price of $262,300, appear on the firm's RealTrends Verified profile.
The national ranks are 207 by sides and 447 by volume. Both ranks land inside RealTrends' "500" lists. The profile lists awards for 500 by Sides and 500 by Volume.
RealTrends reported 241 active licensed agents. OnDemand is a Dallas-Fort Worth brokerage based in the Frisco and Plano area, with offices in Dallas, Fort Worth and Cedar Hill and a current roster of around 300 agents. The 241 figure is the count RealTrends published on the profile.
Entry to the 2026 brokerage rankings required 500 sides or $350 million in volume. HousingWire, reporting on the April 10, 2026 release, said 1,267 firms met that standard. Together they accounted for $2.24 trillion in volume and 3.94 million transactions.
OnDemand publishes a 100% commission, flat-fee careers model. The firm's careers page, reviewed from a November 14, 2026 capture, lists $500 on each of the first 15 sales each year, $50 after the cap, a $600 annual Tech Deck fee, and $50 on leases and referrals, with no monthly, desk, franchise, consumer or separate errors and omissions fees. Details are in the careers section below.
This post does not state a year-over-year growth percentage. The public RealTrends profile publishes the current verified year. It does not display OnDemand's prior-year sides, volume or ranks, so a growth rate is not included here.

What RealTrends Is

RealTrends Verified is a long-running ranking program for residential real estate brokerages, teams and agents. It is operated by RealTrends, part of HW Media, the same company that publishes HousingWire. Brokerages submit their production, the figures are independently verified, and RealTrends then ranks firms by two separate measures: transaction sides and sales volume.

The program is not a popularity contest, a client-satisfaction survey or a list of the "best" brokerages in a subjective sense. It is a production ranking. A firm appears because it met a published threshold and because its residential sides and volume were verified for a stated calendar year.

That distinction matters in a market as large as Dallas-Fort Worth. Many firms close a lot of homes here. Relatively few also show up on a national list that applies the same rules in every state and then publishes the result. For buyers and sellers, the value is not the badge itself. It is the ability to see a third-party, dated production record before you interview an agent.

How RealTrends Ranks Brokerages

RealTrends keeps sides and volume on separate leaderboards, because the two measures answer different questions.

A transaction side is one side of a residential closing. If an OnDemand agent represents the buyer, that is one side. If an OnDemand agent represents the seller, that is one side. If the firm represents both the buyer and the seller on the same home, RealTrends allows the firm to count both sides, and to count the sale price twice in its volume total. RealTrends' help documentation states that rule directly.

Sales volume is the total dollar amount of the residential closings that counted toward the ranking. A brokerage that closes fewer homes at higher prices can rank higher by volume than by sides. A brokerage that closes more homes at lower prices can rank higher by sides than by volume. OnDemand's 2026 ranks follow that pattern: 207 by sides and 447 by volume.

Only certain closings count. RealTrends includes residential transactions in single-family homes and condominiums. It does not count commercial deals, referrals, land, lots, leases, multifamily properties or rentals toward the totals. That is why the profile figures should not be treated as a count of every file a brokerage touched in 2025. They are the residential sides and volume that qualified under RealTrends' rules.

The data period is the previous calendar year. A RealTrends help article says the brokerage rankings reflect January 1 through December 31 of the prior year. For the 2026 program, that period is calendar year 2025, which is also the period stamped on OnDemand's profile: "Based On 2025 Sales Data."

To get on the list, a brokerage had to meet the 2026 eligibility threshold of 500 sides or $350 million in volume, then have the numbers verified. RealTrends' preferred method is an automated electronic verification letter signed by a managing broker. If the person submitting is the managing broker, RealTrends does not allow that person to sign for himself or herself; a CPA, CFO or other qualified third party must verify the production instead. Firms can also submit MLS data, CRM production reports or a signed letter, but a simple total is not enough. Address-level detail and property types are required.

The 500 by Sides list, in RealTrends' own words, is "the definitive ranking of the 500 most productive brokerages in the country, based on total transaction sides closed," using calendar year 2025. The 500 by Volume list is described as the ranking of the 500 most successful brokerages by total residential sales volume for the same year. OnDemand appears on both.

HousingWire's coverage of the April 10, 2026 release also noted that independent brokerages accounted for 28.79% of market share in this year's data, up from 26.98% the year before. RealTrends describes OnDemand as an independent affiliate. This post does not treat that industry-wide share figure as an OnDemand statistic. It is context for the kind of firm the rankings are capturing.

OnDemand Realty's 2026 RealTrends Figures

The table below repeats the figures published on OnDemand's RealTrends profile as of November 15, 2026. The ranking year is 2026. The production year is 2025.

Item	Figure	Source and period
Ranking program and release	2026 RealTrends Verified brokerage rankings, released April 10, 2026	RealTrends 500 by Sides program page; HousingWire, April 10, 2026
Production period	Calendar year 2025 (January 1 through December 31, 2025)	RealTrends profile: "Based On 2025 Sales Data"
Transaction sides	2,875	RealTrends profile, 2025 sales data
Sales volume	$754.03 million	RealTrends profile, 2025 sales data
Average home price	$262,300 (shown as $262.3K)	RealTrends profile, 2025 sales data
National sides rank	207	RealTrends profile, 2026 rankings
National volume rank	447	RealTrends profile, 2026 rankings
Awards listed	500 by Sides; 500 by Volume	RealTrends profile
Active licensed agents	241	RealTrends profile
Brokerage type and location	Independent affiliate, Frisco, TX	RealTrends profile

The average home price on the profile is consistent with the volume divided by the sides: $754.03 million divided by 2,875 sides is about $262,271, which RealTrends rounds to $262.3K. That is RealTrends' average for the residential production that counted toward the ranking. It is not the Dallas-Fort Worth MLS median, and it is not a typical list price in Frisco or Plano. Metro medians in 2026 have run well above this figure. Readers should treat $262,300 as a brokerage-level average under RealTrends' counting rules, not as a guide to what a specific neighborhood costs.

The profile also includes a live "Frisco, Texas Market Update" widget with list-price and inventory figures for mid-November 2026. Those are local market statistics on the same page, not OnDemand production, and they are not used in the table above.

One number the public profile does not provide is a year-over-year comparison. Without a verified prior-year sides total, volume total or national rank for OnDemand, a growth rate would be a guess. The post therefore does not include one.

What the Ranks Mean in Practice

A national sides rank of 207, on a list that required either 500 sides or $350 million in volume just to qualify, means OnDemand's 2025 residential contract load was large enough to land in the top 500 U.S. brokerages by sides, and well inside the first half of that 500. A volume rank of 447 means the same firm's dollar total also cleared the top 500 by volume, though not as high on that list as on the sides list.

The gap between the two ranks is information, not a problem. It fits a brokerage whose average RealTrends home price, $262,300, is below the typical Dallas-Fort Worth median. In plain terms, the 2025 book of business that counted toward the rankings included a high number of residential sides relative to the dollar volume those sides produced. That can happen when a firm works a wide range of price points, including first-time buyers and more affordable parts of the metro, rather than concentrating only on high-price closings.

None of that tells you, by itself, how a specific listing will be priced, how a specific offer should be written, or how a specific agent negotiates. Rankings measure the brokerage's verified production. The agent you hire is still the person who will tour homes with you, prepare a comparative market analysis, or sit at your kitchen table with an offer.

What This Recognition Means for Buyers

For buyers, a verified production record is one way to check that a brokerage is active in the market you are trying to enter. Dallas-Fort Worth is not one market. A first home in Fort Worth or southern Dallas County is a different search from a move into Plano, Frisco, McKinney or a master-planned community farther north. A firm that closed 2,875 residential sides in 2025 is, at the company level, doing a high volume of that work.

What buyers should still ask is more specific:

Has this agent, not just this brokerage, closed homes in the cities and price range you are targeting?
How does the agent handle inspections, option periods and appraisal gaps in the current rate environment?
If you are stretching to a payment, can the agent walk through taxes, insurance and HOA dues, not only the list price? Our November 2026 affordability guide is a starting point for that math.
If a listing has an assumable loan or the seller is offering a buydown, does the agent know how to work those options into the contract?

A national rank will not answer those questions. It can, however, be a reason to interview an OnDemand agent with more confidence that the brokerage behind that agent has a verified, recent production record.

What This Recognition Means for Sellers

Sellers often want two things from a brokerage: a clear pricing plan and evidence that the firm actually closes homes. The RealTrends sides total is the second of those. 2,875 verified residential sides in 2025 is a large closing volume for a Frisco-based independent firm.

Sellers should still press for a local plan. Days on market, list-to-sale-price ratios and competing inventory vary by city, school district and price band. A national volume rank of 447 says the brokerage's 2025 dollar total was large enough to make the national 500 by Volume list. It does not say what your house at a given address should list for in November 2026.

Useful seller questions include:

What have comparable homes in your immediate area sold for in the last 90 days, and how long did they take?
What is the net you would walk away with after commissions, title costs, taxes and any repairs or concessions? Our guide to the cost of selling a house in Texas outlines those line items.
If the first offer comes in with a buydown request or an appraisal risk, how does the agent recommend you respond?
Who will handle showings, feedback and weekly pricing reviews?

The ranking is a company-level credential. The listing plan is still a property-level job.

What This Recognition Means for Agents Considering OnDemand

RealTrends describes OnDemand as an independent affiliate with 241 active licensed agents on the published profile. The company is based in the Frisco and Plano area and has offices in Dallas, Fort Worth and Cedar Hill. Its model is agent-friendly and low-overhead, which is one reason some experienced agents look at independents rather than a traditional franchise.

For an agent who is comparing firms, the 2026 rankings offer a verified snapshot of scale. 2,875 sides and $754.03 million in volume, confirmed for 2025, show that the brokerage is already operating at a national-list production level. The sides rank of 207 is the stronger of the two national ranks, which is consistent with a firm that closes a large number of residential transactions across a wide price range.

The ranking does not, by itself, tell you what you will pay, what tools you will get, or how the broker runs the office. Those terms are not on the RealTrends profile. They are, however, published on OnDemand's careers page and summarized in the next section. Treat the ranking as one data point, then read the current careers terms before you decide.

Careers at OnDemand Realty: Why Agents Choose Us

A RealTrends rank answers a production question. A career decision also needs answers about money, support and culture. OnDemand is a high-value, low-overhead independent brokerage, and it publishes those terms on its careers page. The summary below is taken from that page as of a November 14, 2026 capture, plus OnDemand's June 28, 2026 Fort Worth office announcement. Confirm current details at www.ondemanddfw.com/careers before you make a move.

A 100% commission, flat-fee model

OnDemand advertises 100% commission. According to the careers page, agents pay $500 on each of the first 15 sale transactions each year, $50 after they cap, a $600 annual Tech Deck package fee charged on the first sale of the year, and $50 on leases and referrals. The page says there are no monthly fees, desk fees, franchise fees, consumer fees or separate errors and omissions fees, and that "you don't pay a dollar until you make a dollar."

The same page says agents "save an average of 42%" with OnDemand. That is OnDemand's own published claim, not an independently audited statistic. Your actual savings depend on your production and what you pay today. The careers page includes a calculator; run it with your real numbers. The page also says that if transaction fees or the cap ever rise, agents are grandfathered at the terms they signed up for, for the rest of their career at OnDemand.

There is no mandatory onboarding fee. An optional $240 kit includes business cards, open house signs and a personalized for-sale sign. A team commission plan is available, but the public page does not publish that schedule in full, so ask for those terms directly.

Broker support, training and the Tech Deck

The careers page says an OnDemand broker is on call seven days a week, including evenings and weekends. Weekly accountability meetings run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Mondays in Cedar Hill, Tuesdays in Dallas, Wednesdays in Fort Worth and Thursdays in Plano. On the first Thursday of every month, OnDemand hosts a Lunch and Learn at its Plano training facility.

Agents also get the 101 Page, OnDemand's learning management system. The careers page says it includes 100-plus editable Canva templates, recordings of past Lunch and Learns, and 180-plus modules on TREC and TXR forms, contract scenarios, company technology, company forms and logos. That library is continuing education for agents who are already closing. OnDemand is not a new-agent training brokerage.

The $600 Tech Deck package, according to the careers page, includes Lofty CRM, a personalized website with IDX integration, BackAgent for transaction submission, Hurdlr for income and expenses, and FOREWARN for identity verification. The page says an individual agent pays $549 a month for Lofty on their own, and that the platform is included at OnDemand. That $549 figure is OnDemand's published comparison, not a price we independently verified. The page also lists free Zipforms or TransactionDesk, free color printing at OnDemand offices, marketing templates and materials, and same-day Zelle processing of lease and referral payments once the brokerage receives the check.

OnDemand also uses ODIE, the OnDemand Intelligence Ecosystem, as an internal set of AI tools. Public careers materials do not publish a full ODIE feature list, so this post does not invent one.

Lead support, culture and offices

OnDemand does not offer a company lead-generation program. What it does publish is free listing marketing, including automated "New Listing" email blasts, automated posts on OnDemand's Facebook and Instagram pages (which the careers page says have a combined following of more than 32,000), editable listing templates, access to an iBuyer program, and training on ads you run yourself. Preferred vendors, including affiliated lender Clarity Home Lending, are optional. Agents are not required to use them.

The careers page motto is "The Brokerage Built By The Agent, For The Agent." The firm has recently surpassed 300 Realtors in Dallas-Fort Worth and says it still intends to keep a "small family feel." It is not a multi-level or upline-and-downline company. Agents can brand themselves and their teams if the branding is TREC-compliant. Agents who refer a Realtor with six or more sale transactions in the past 12 months receive a $2,000 cash bonus after that Realtor onboards.

The experience standard on the public careers page is at least six closed transactions in the past 12 months. OnDemand has found that agents who are already closing are the ones who thrive in this model. Newly licensed agents are generally directed to get their early training elsewhere, then come back when they have that production.

The careers page lists offices in Cedar Hill, Dallas, Fort Worth and Plano, with Plano described as headquarters. OnDemand also has a Frisco office and describes its home base as the Frisco and Plano area. In June 2026, the firm opened a new Fort Worth office at 600 W. Magnolia Avenue. It is also expanding to Amarillo. Onboarding takes two steps and under 10 minutes, according to the careers page, and the company handles the MLS and Supra eKey transfer. OnDemand belongs to MetroTex, ARBOR, GFWAR, AAOR and HAR, and hosts quarterly parties, a Mid Winter awards event in January, and other company gatherings.

How to Read These Numbers Without Overreaching

The 2026 ranks are based on 2025 closings. They are not a forecast for 2026 or 2027, they do not include commercial work, referrals, land or leases, and they do not update as this year's contracts close. The 241-agent count is the number RealTrends published; it may not match the company's later roster, which is why this post also notes around 300 current agents and offices in Dallas, Fort Worth and Cedar Hill. The public profile also did not list a Texas-only rank or a prior-year RealTrends comparison, so those figures are omitted.

Used that way, the recognition is still meaningful: in the 2026 RealTrends Verified program, OnDemand Realty was a nationally ranked independent brokerage, with verified 2025 production of 2,875 sides and $754.03 million, and a place on both the 500 by Sides and 500 by Volume lists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What year do the 2026 RealTrends rankings cover?

Calendar year 2025, from January 1 through December 31, 2025. RealTrends released the 2026 brokerage rankings on April 10, 2026. OnDemand's profile is labeled "Based On 2025 Sales Data."

What were OnDemand Realty's RealTrends figures?

For the 2026 rankings, RealTrends lists 2,875 transaction sides, $754.03 million in sales volume, an average home price of $262,300, a national sides rank of 207, a national volume rank of 447, and 241 active licensed agents. The profile also lists 500 by Sides and 500 by Volume as awards.

What is the difference between a sides rank and a volume rank?

Sides count how many residential buyer or seller sides the brokerage closed. Volume counts the dollar total of those closings. RealTrends ranks the two measures separately. OnDemand ranks higher by sides (207) than by volume (447) in the 2026 program.

Is the $262,300 average home price the Dallas-Fort Worth median?

No. It is the average home price RealTrends shows on OnDemand's profile for the 2025 production that counted toward the rankings. It matches the firm's $754.03 million in volume divided by 2,875 sides. Metro and city medians from the MLS are different figures and are usually higher.

Does a RealTrends rank guarantee a better outcome on my home?

No. The rankings verify brokerage-level residential production for a past calendar year. The outcome on a purchase or a listing still depends on the property, the local market, the contract terms and the agent who handles the file.

Where can I see the original ranking?

The figures in this post come from OnDemand Realty's public RealTrends Verified profile at realtrends.com/brokerage-profile/ondemand-realty-frisco-tx, reviewed on November 15, 2026.

Disclaimer: This post is for general information only. It is not a guarantee of future production, a promise about a specific agent's results, a formal market analysis or a solicitation of another brokerage's agents. The OnDemand Realty figures in this post are from the firm's public RealTrends Verified profile, reviewed on November 15, 2026, and reflect the 2026 RealTrends Verified brokerage rankings based on calendar year 2025 residential production. RealTrends released those rankings on April 10, 2026. Eligibility thresholds, counting rules and verification practices are summarized from RealTrends' program pages and help articles cited above and can be updated by RealTrends. The average home price of $262,300 is RealTrends' published figure, not an MLS median. HousingWire's April 10, 2026 article is the source for the count of 1,267 qualifying firms, the $2.24 trillion and 3.94 million combined totals, and the independent market-share figures; those are industry-wide statistics, not OnDemand totals. A prior-year RealTrends comparison for OnDemand was not listed on the public profile, so this post does not include a year-over-year growth rate. OnDemand Realty is not affiliated with RealTrends, HW Media or HousingWire. Compensation, training, technology, office and onboarding details are summarized from OnDemand's careers page at www.ondemanddfw.com/careers, reviewed from a November 14, 2026 capture of that page, and from OnDemand's June 28, 2026 Fort Worth office announcement. Those terms can change. The "average of 42%" savings figure and the $549 monthly Lofty comparison are OnDemand's own published claims, not independently audited statistics. Confirm current fees, policies and the experience requirement on the live careers page, which controls if this post and the page ever differ. Confirm current rankings and methodology on the RealTrends website, and confirm any agent's current production directly with that agent.
