SIOUX FALLS, S.D. / Aug. 5, 2019 – Weichert Real Estate Affiliates, Inc. is pleased to announce that Meritus Group Real Estate in Sioux Falls has joined their national franchise system.

The addition of Weichert, Realtors® – The Agents continues the franchise’s national expansion, which now has affiliated offices in 39 states with the addition of its first-ever South Dakota franchise.
“We are excited to grow together as part of a national real estate brand that has a client-first philosophy,” said Maurer, who has steadily grown the Sioux Falls-based agency that he opened in 2012.
