Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today the affiliation of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Beyond based in Sioux Falls, S.D. The company becomes the first BHGRE® affiliate in the state.
The firm, started with a market-leading team, is led by owner Brandon Martens and managing broker Breck Miller. The company serves the entire range of real estate clients in the Greater Sioux Falls market, including Minnehaha County, Lincoln County, McCook County, Lake County and Turner County.
With a flourishing economy, no state income tax and a very low unemployment rate, the Sioux Falls metro area accounts for more than 30% of the state’s entire population. It is home to a number of financial institutions, manufacturing companies and food processing plants. An Amazon fulfillment center is also slated to open in 2022. With four hospitals, Sioux Falls serves as a regional health care center. Due to the long distances between major cities in the state, Sioux Falls is also a destination city for shopping and dining.
According to Martens, Sioux Falls has historically been a very stable real estate market, even during the 2008 subprime crisis.

When it came time to take the next step in building my business, I knew I needed a partner focused on building for the future, not just the bottom line. Our philosophy has always been about making people better – both agents and clients – by adopting a service mentality that prioritizes the relationship over the transaction, a defining characteristic of the BHGRE® brand.
