Clearwater Properties is proud to announce that it has been named one of America’s Best Brokerages by premier real estate publication, The Land Report, for 2025. This marks the eighth consecutive year the top regional brokerage has received the coveted distinction.
Each year, since 2010, The Land Report presents its survey of the leading real estate brokerages nationwide that specialize in land. Clearwater is thrilled to have been named to this exclusive list for eight years in a row, beginning in 2017. “The Land Report’s annual survey of U.S. land brokerages is based on the total value of self-reported 2024 domestic land sales through traditional brokerage. Totals exclude commercial, industrial, and residential assets, unless those assets were a component of a more valuable land asset. All figures were provided by the respective firms from February 3 through March 31, 2025.” (Estes, 2025, p. 111)
Being named one of America’s Best Brokerages is a prestigious distinction in the real estate industry – signifying not only outstanding transaction volume in rural land sales, but also exceptional market knowledge, marketing effectiveness, and an unwavering dedication to excellence across the Mountain West region.
“We are proud to have our brokerage recognized with this prestigious accolade in the rural real estate industry,” says Clearwater Properties CEO, Shaun Michael Lewis. “This recognition highlights our commitment to excellence in recreational and rural land properties across the Mountain West. As we continue to stake our claim as the region’s premier brokerage, our agents strive to exemplify the cutting-edge marketing and five-star client service that define the Clearwater Properties experience.”
“Clearwater is a brokerage born not in London, New York, California or Germany,” continues Lewis. “It was born and founded in Montana, by Broker Kevin Wetherell, and that legacy drives the way in which we serve our clients and communities. Over the past three decades, Clearwater has grown from a local Montana dream into a company with over 35 office and agent locations across five states in the Mountain West. In addition to the recognition from The Land Report, we are proud to be the #1 Sports Afield Trophy Properties brokerage in the world, helping clients achieve their dreams of land ownership and find their wild.”
