Nearly two decades in the Duluth market with genuine rural/lake-home expertise and a strong, independently verified review record.

Chad Anderson

7.9/10

$200K–$1.6M

A Bloomington-headquartered brokerage co-founder whose interest in real estate started young at his grandfather's rental properties, and who now runs his own small local firm.

Karen Anderson

7.5/10

$150K–$500K

A Moorhead-based RE/MAX agent early in her career whose 2025 production already ranks among the city's busiest, though her track record is still short.

Aaron Argent

7.9/10

$145K–$630K

A solo agent headquartered in Blaine with a decade-plus track record and a 4.8-star Redfin rating, covering an unusually wide swath of the metro.

Chad Baker

8.8/10

$130K–$850K · 67 reviews

A Lakeville native with a builder's-eye view of the market — two decades at RE/MAX Advantage Plus, $120M+ in career sales, and a strong independently verified review record.

Shannon Barnum

7.9/10

$150K+ · 11 reviews

Broker/owner of an independent, fee-transparent Moorhead-area brokerage with two decades in the local market, working as a two-person team.

Jonathan Brenny

7.8/10

$200K–$700K

A relocation-focused Edina Realty agent embedded in one of Maple Grove's longest-running, highest-volume local teams — strong institutional backing, thinner individual public track record.

Ann Breuer

8.2/10

$195K–$775K · 30 reviews

A 25-year veteran team based in neighboring Champlin with the deepest career transaction history of this group and an independently tracked 5.0-star rating across 30 reviews.

Becca Brinkman

8.5/10

$225K–$918K · 11 reviews

A Northfield native with two decades of local closings and a clean 5.0-star record, best suited to buyers and sellers who want an agent who already knows the block.

Kelly Brown

8.4/10

$65K–$2.4M · 173 reviews

A high-volume, all-women boutique team whose social-media-driven marketing has landed it among Minnesota's top 10 teams by sales volume, with real closings in Plymouth.

Cherie Burke

8.1/10

$130K–$450K · 10 reviews

A relocation-focused Keller Williams generalist with a perfect, if modest, verified review record.

Bryce Caldwell

9.1/10

$500K–$2.5M · 27 reviews

Bryce Caldwell is the most content-rich independent agent operating in the Lake Minnetonka west metro corridor. Four years focused on Wayzata, Orono, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, and Deephaven has produced genuine hyperlocal expertise that shows up in how he talks about bays, school district boundaries, and dock rights — not just listing counts. The best fit for buyers and sellers in the $600K–$2.5M range who want a knowledgeable local specialist, not a large team machine.

Wendy Carson

8.9/10

$150K–$2.5M · 155 reviews

Wendy Carson has worked out of RE/MAX Results' Apple Valley office since 1998, one of the longer continuous tenures among agents based in the south metro. Her practice spans first-time buyers through executive-level and relocation clients across a wide swath of the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. Public review counts are unusually large for an individual agent -- well over a hundred logged ratings across Zillow and an independent aggregator, plus a separate Yelp page -- and are consistently close to perfect. She operates as a solo associate rather than under a named team brand.

David Chase

8.3/10

$184K–$1.4M

A two-decade Twin Cities Realtor and Bloomington broker-owner who has lived in the area since 1982, running his own small independent brokerage rather than a large franchise team.

Jenny Cisewski

8.5/10

$110K–$450K

A 34-year Winona-native broker with strong credentials and a loyal local following.

Tom Clusiau

8.3/10

$150K–$450K · 58 reviews

A solo Fargo-based RE/MAX Realtor with genuinely verifiable review proof and an explicitly stated Moorhead service radius.

Kerri DeBaere

7.9/10

$300K+

A Stillwater-based Lakes Sotheby's advisor with a clear, well-documented niche in Woodbury-area luxury sales and senior downsizing — but no public review count to independently verify her volume.

Jordan DeCaro

8.5/10

$120K–$700K

Jordan DeCaro is founder and team lead of the DeCaro Real Estate Team, operating under RE/MAX Results out of the brokerage's London Road office in Duluth. A graduate of Duluth Central High School who has held his Minnesota license since 2012, he now leads a roughly six-agent team rather than working solo. RealTrends Verified 2025 data ranks the team first in Duluth by both closed sales volume ($58.41 million) and transaction sides (192). The Duluth News Tribune named him Best Real Estate Agent in 2024, and the team was a 2025 Best of the Midwest finalist for Best Real Estate Agency in the Duluth-Superior-Cloquet area.

Ellen DeHaven

9.2/10

$2M+

Ellen DeHaven is one of the most established luxury names on Lake Minnetonka — a 40-plus-year Coldwell Banker Realty veteran in Wayzata with more than $800M in career sales and 300-plus lakeshore homes closed. She is the seasoned, top-of-market choice for estate-tier lakefront in the roughly $2.7M–$8.75M range, where experience and a deep buyer network matter more than a large digital presence.

Candee Deichman

8.9/10

$183K–$1.6M

A near-40-year Mankato resident and Century 21 Atwood agent whose active listings run almost entirely $450K-$1.58M, making her the clearest luxury and lake-home specialist found in this market.

Moraghan DeRosia

8.5/10

$110K–$2.1M · 3 reviews

A Highland Park specialist with 19 years of experience and a clean 5.0 review record, even if that record is still thin in volume.

Jeffrey Dewing

8.8/10

$500K+ · 5 reviews

Jeffrey Dewing is a 28-plus-year Coldwell Banker Realty veteran working luxury across Edina, Wayzata, Lake Minnetonka and Minneapolis. With a range that runs from the mid-$300Ks past $22M, he pairs a long track record with big-brand marketing reach — a credible choice for luxury sellers who want an experienced hand and a recognizable name.

Julie Diedrich

8.0/10

$240K–$1.4M

A Bloomington native who grew up in and still lives in the city, selling as part of the 30-plus-year Nancy Walker Team at Coldwell Banker.

Clark Diel

8.5/10

$118K–$650K

A 24-year Mankato veteran with 157 closed sales in the last five years and a specialty list built for harder deals such as foreclosures, short sales, and investment property, not just straightforward retail sales.

Brandon Doyle

8.7/10

$220K–$750K · 139 reviews

A second-generation, tech-forward Maple Grove team pairing an outstanding review record with genuine new-construction expertise.

Jim Dropps

9.1/10

$240K–$1.2M · 33 reviews

Jim Dropps has lived in the Sheridan neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis since the mid-2000s and founded Northeast Real Estate Group, an independent two-agent brokerage, in 2012. His recorded sales cluster almost entirely in Northeast and North Minneapolis neighborhoods — Audubon Park, Waite Park, Windom Park, Holland, Sheridan, and Near North — and his firm markets itself specifically around neighborhood duplexes and starter homes. Public reviews are limited in number but uniformly five-star, and a construction-and-building background in the family gives him a practical angle on the area's older housing stock.

Robert Elliott

8.7/10

$16K–$690K · 6 reviews

A two-decade Bemidji broker/owner with a perfect 5-star Zillow record and deep lake, land, and investment-property expertise.

Lisa Endersbe

8.5/10

$250K–$900K · 24 reviews

A Coldwell Banker team with a verified 5.0-star, 24-review track record on Birdeye, praised for round-the-clock responsiveness and specialist certifications spanning new construction to distressed property.

Regan Englund

8.6/10

$300K–$900K · 56 reviews

Regan Englund founded the Regan Englund Real Estate Group, a small team working out of Keller Williams Classic Realty NW in Maple Grove. She holds Minnesota real estate license #40370982 and has been active in the market for roughly a decade. Combined Zillow and Google reviews put her near a 4.9 average across 56 ratings, and third-party agent-ranking data credits her group with about 93 closed transactions in the trailing 12 months. She covers a wide range of transaction types rather than a single niche.

Katie Fears

8.1/10

$180K–$1.2M · 6 reviews

Katie Fears is an active Edina Realty agent in Eden Prairie (part of the Leicht Fears Group) with a fast-growing practice — 61 homes sold and 21 in the last year, at a perfect 5.0 across her reviews. She's a strong, responsive choice for mid-market buyers and sellers across Eden Prairie and the west metro, from first purchases up to about $1.2M.

Jay Fletch

8.7/10

$200K–$1.2M · 113 reviews

A 30-year veteran team lead with an unusually deep bench of designations and a genuinely five-star, 100-plus-review track record across the Woodbury/St. Croix Valley corridor.

Ben Ganje

9.5/10

$800K+ · 181 reviews

Ben Ganje leads one of Minnesota's top-producing teams — the Ben Ganje Group at Lakes Sotheby's International Realty in Edina — with more than $1.5B in career sales, 1,500-plus homes closed, and 181 reviews at a perfect 5.0. Across roughly 24 years he's ranked among the top three agents in the state by volume. He's the choice for luxury and new-construction buyers and sellers who want a proven, high-powered team.

Jaclyn Gavzy

8.1/10

$450K–$1.8M

A marketing-background Compass agent posting real $10M-plus annual volume across Minneapolis and the West Metro, verified by RealTrends rather than just self-reported.

Wendy Giles

8.0/10

$100K–$800K

A 27-year Bemidji-area veteran at RE/MAX Results with an unusually broad specialty list, from rentals to lakefront lifestyle to development land.

Jason Gorman

8.4/10

$200K–$1.2M · 75 reviews

A 30-plus-year Woodbury-office veteran and Keller Williams office owner with a huge career sales record, though his multi-office ownership means you may work with a team member more than with Jason himself.

Daniel Gustafson

8.7/10

$150K–$3M

Daniel Gustafson is a 20-plus-year Coldwell Banker Realty veteran who has built his brand around Lake Minnetonka and the Orono corridor — his site is literally lakeminnetonkarealestate.com. He's a steady, experienced choice for buyers and sellers on the north and west shore, comfortable from entry-level up to $3M waterfront.

Kara Gyarmaty

8.2/10

$410K–$2M · 49 reviews

An Edina Realty agent well matched to move-up and higher-end Rochester buyers, backed by a perfect rating across a healthy review base.

Ryan Haagenson

8.2/10

$244K–$1.6M

A RE/MAX Hall-of-Famer with 16-plus years and a broad Twin Cities book of business, best for clients who want an experienced generalist rather than one narrow specialty.

Skip Halverson

8.6/10

$150K–$700K · 7 reviews

A 23-year, Hall-of-Fame RE/MAX producer with a perfect (if thin) review record, built around first-time buyers, lake/recreational property, and round-the-clock availability.

Randa Haug

8.8/10

$15K–$2.3M · 177 reviews

A high-volume solo agent with an unusually deep review base for someone not running a branded team — a strong pick for buyers, especially first-timers and single-family/lake-home shoppers.

Marsha Haugen

7.6/10

$125K–$525K · 1 reviews

A broker/owner who switched into real estate after a 22-year medical-field career, offering direct owner-level access across a wide five-county footprint.

Corrine Hobbs

8.7/10

$58K–$1.1M · 4 reviews

Duluth's most explicit waterfront/lake specialist, backed by a two-decade track record and a former career as a licensed appraiser.

Joe Houghton

9.4/10

$350K–$3M · 183 reviews

Joe Houghton runs Minnesota Property Group under RE/MAX Results out of Plymouth, and the numbers are the headline: 1,600-plus homes sold since 2002 and 183 Zillow reviews at a perfect 5.0. He's the high-volume, broad-coverage choice across the west metro — from Lake Minnetonka waterfront to first-time and move-up buyers — backed by a full team rather than a solo practice.

Scott Hutchinson

8.5/10

$250K–$1.5M · 56 reviews

A Lakeville-headquartered RE/MAX team lead with a strong, independently verified review record and genuine range from bank-owned resale to $1.5M new construction.

Denel Ihde-Sparks

8.9/10

$230K–$2.1M · 100 reviews

Rochester's highest-review-volume team leader, nationally recognized, with 25+ years and a genuine relocation specialty.

Kathryn Jamison

8.2/10

$249K–$858K

Grew up in Northfield, moved away, then deliberately moved back to raise her own kids there — a genuinely local agent with three decades in the business.

Miriam Johnson

7.3/10

$450K–$875K

A solo Coldwell Banker agent with confirmed transactions inside Minnetonka and an unusually hands-on read on home condition from a prior career in TV home improvement.

Corey Johnson

7.9/10

$62K–$860K

A relationship-first Connect Real Estate Group agent with an active, roughly 90-sale track record and consistent praise for patient, step-by-step guidance with first-time buyers and investment purchases.

Bruce Johnson

8.3/10

$150K+

The most tenured agent in this guide — a 40-year Moorhead broker/owner with a RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award, now working alongside his son.

Pat Johnson

8.2/10

$209K–$1.1M

A four-decade Northfield fixture whose name keeps coming up in neighbor recommendations, though her public review footprint is thinner than her tenure would suggest.

Aaron Jones

8.5/10

$133K–$620K · 67 reviews

A 20-year Rochester veteran who works solo across the full price spectrum, backed by a clean five-star review record.

Michael Jordan

8.3/10

$220K–$913K · 1 reviews

A lifelong Northfield resident since 1983 with the highest sales volume of this group and a genuine new-construction/relocation specialty, though his public review count is thin.

Lana Kalinowski

8.2/10

$350K–$2.4M

A relocation and move-up/downsize specialist ranked in Edina Realty's top 10% company-wide, best suited to luxury and life-transition clients in the $350K-$2.4M range.

Kevin Kalligher

8.7/10

$104K–$810K · 39 reviews

A high-volume Duluth-Superior agent with a near-perfect, independently verified review record and hundreds of closed sales.

Doug Kman

8.1/10

$34K–$825K

A tenured, award-recognized Coldwell Banker agent with a wide service footprint, though his review count isn't independently verified on a third-party platform.

Fritz Kroll

8.9/10

$140K–$2.9M · 145 reviews

The downtown Minneapolis condo specialist: 27 years in the business, lives in the North Loop neighborhood he sells, and holds Edina Realty's top Chairman's Circle distinction.

Jen Kyllonen

8.8/10

$180K–$3M · 23 reviews

A 20-plus-year Chairman's Circle veteran specializing in luxury and historic homes around Minneapolis's Chain of Lakes -- the agent to call for an older or architecturally significant house.

Gregg Larsen

8.3/10

$275K+

A 30-year Lake Minnetonka waterfront specialist — strong for lakefront or luxury business, less suited to a budget starter-home search.

Hyounsoo Lathrop

8.7/10

$275K+ · 53 reviews

A Woodbury-office Coldwell Banker luxury specialist with a genuinely perfect review record (53 reviews, 5.0 stars) and a top-1% local production ranking.

Celeste Liesch

8.4/10

$100K–$475K · 18 reviews

An Edina Realty top-3%-companywide producer with the best verified review score in this Winona lineup.

Amanda Lumley

8.7/10

$11K–$2.9M · 47 reviews

The clearest luxury/waterfront specialist of this group, backed by Sotheby's global marketing reach and two decades of local closings up to $2.85M.

Scott Lynch

8.7/10

$180K–$750K · 100 reviews

Scott Lynch has worked full-time in Central Minnesota real estate since 2001 and is currently with Agency North Real Estate in Sartell, just across the river from St. Cloud. Public sources credit him with more than 500 career transactions and roughly $100 million in sales volume, along with a GRI designation. Independent review platforms show consistently high marks, though the exact count varies by source. He works across a broad range of clients rather than one narrow price tier or property type.

Amy Mattfield

8.2/10

$175K–$900K

An 18-year-experienced Edina Realty agent whose renovation background and multiple named client testimonials set her apart on lakeshore property.

Alex Mayer

8.8/10

$116K–$693K · 44 reviews

eXp Realty's #1 Rochester producer in 2025, working solo with a sharply defined focus on first-time buyers and Mayo Clinic relocations.

Richard McDonough

8.2/10

$370K–$2.4M

Richard McDonough is a fourth-generation Stillwater resident who has worked as a real estate broker in the city for roughly three decades and holds dual licensure in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He practices as an associate broker with Lakes Sotheby's International Realty out of its downtown Stillwater office, with current and recent listings concentrated in the historic Main Street corridor. Third-party transaction data (homes.com) shows 84 closed sales over the past five years worth about $41.9 million; that figure, and the 238 sold listings shown on his own brokerage profile, are both well below the '450+ career transactions' cited in his marketing, a gap that is not explained anywhere public.

Gary Metchnek

8.0/10

$100K–$860K · 87 reviews

A steady, full-service Edina Realty solo agent with a perfect 5-star record and verified buyer-side experience in Plymouth.

Steven Milkovich

8.2/10

$55K–$1.1M · 112 reviews

A NW-metro team lead with nearly a decade of top-5% production, explicitly built around trade-up buyers, first-timers, and luxury clients across Plymouth and its neighboring suburbs.

Tyler Miller

8.6/10

$49K–$3.2M · 292 reviews

Tyler Miller is CEO and co-founder of Obvious Real Estate, an eXp Realty-affiliated team headquartered at 9100 Baltimore Street NE in Blaine. He has worked in the Twin Cities market since the mid-2000s and has co-run the team with Kaela Kullman since 2016. The team's Birdeye business profile lists 292 reviews at a 5.0 average, and its own marketing claims the top-producing team title in Blaine for five straight years. Buyers and sellers should ask upfront which team member will actually handle their file rather than assume it will be Miller personally.

Andy and Teresa Mitchell

7.7/10

$285K–$1.7M

An Edina Realty husband-and-wife team with Minnetonka named explicitly as one of four core southwest-metro markets.

Chris Mosier

8.2/10

$250K–$800K

Chris Mosier has sold real estate in the Lakeville-anchored south metro since 2009, with more than 700 homes closed across Lakeville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Prior Lake and Burnsville. He works as a bilingual (English/Spanish) generalist rather than a niche specialist, covering first-time buyers, move-up sales, new construction and investment property. He recently moved to the newly independent Pemberton Real Estate after several years affiliated with eXp Realty, and no verifiable aggregate review count turned up to back the scattered positive testimonials on his own site and Yelp.

Alex Murray

8.1/10

$197K–$785K

A Blaine-office Edina Realty agent with a genuinely local track record — roughly a quarter of recent sales land inside Blaine itself, not just the wider metro.

Kimberlee Nelson

7.8/10

$140K–$810K

A near-30-year Bemidji community member at Edina Realty with real five-year production data spanning houses, land, and commercial deals.

Tom Nicklow

8.6/10

$250K–$1.5M

Tom Nicklow has run Minnetonka Realty, a brokerage carrying the city's name, as broker/owner for the past 14 years, inside a firm with more than three decades of history there. He has sold Twin Cities residential real estate since 1984, holds the NAR's GRI designation, and was named a Mpls/St Paul Magazine "Super Agent" in 2023 and 2024. He works alone rather than leading a team, and covers a broad mix of property types — lakeshore, distressed, land — rather than one narrow niche.

Debbie Niemeyer

8.3/10

$100K–$600K

A three-decade St. Cloud native with Coldwell Banker's top-2%-nationally recognition, sold as one half of an established two-agent team rather than solo.

Beth Nordaune

9.0/10

$200K–$900K · 1134 reviews

Beth Nordaune has led Rochester's Enclave Team, formerly the Nordaune Team, for roughly two decades, and recently moved the operation's brokerage affiliation from RE/MAX Results to Real Brokerage. Aggregator data citing Zillow attributes about 1,134 reviews at a 5.0 average to her and the team combined, the largest reviewed footprint found for any Rochester-based real estate operation in this research. The team now runs close to two dozen people out of offices in Rochester and Eagan, so a client who calls Beth Nordaune may end up working mainly with a teammate rather than her personally. That tradeoff between scale and personal attention is the central thing to weigh here.

Mary Pat Nydahl

8.1/10

$400K–$1.8M

Mary Pat Nydahl is a Chanhassen-based REALTOR with Edina Realty who works with her daughter Erin as the Nydahl Group. She has held a Minnesota license since 2009, after 27 years teaching in Eastern Carver County and Minneapolis Public Schools. The team's stated service area centers on Chanhassen, Chaska, Victoria, and Carver rather than the wider metro, with listings ranging from modest townhomes to seven-figure acreage parcels. Review counts and sales totals are not published on the sites checked, so her track record is easier to describe qualitatively than to quantify.

Becky O'Brien

8.5/10

$175K–$660K · 66 reviews

A 25+-year Maple Grove veteran whose electrician/housing-inspector background gives real technical edge on rural, acreage, and lakeshore deals.

Chad Piepho

8.0/10

$200K–$1.5M · 6 reviews

Chad Piepho has worked in Minnesota real estate since 2003 and has been based in the Brainerd Lakes area since 2008, now serving as broker/owner of Counselor Realty's Brainerd office. His public review footprint is thin for that tenure — six ratings on one aggregator site, all five stars — so there is limited independent volume to judge consistency against. His stated coverage is concentrated on specific lake chains (Gull Lake, Whitefish Chain) and nearby towns rather than the broader Brainerd market as a whole.

Mark Pietig

8.7/10

$12K–$4M · 121 reviews

Founder of a RE/MAX Platinum Club/Hall of Fame team focused squarely on Brainerd Lakes waterfront — the clear specialist pick if a lake home is the goal.

Bob Reidell

8.3/10

$150K–$900K

A 46-year Twin Cities veteran whose Grand Avenue team runs almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals.

Mark Reiland

8.1/10

$275K–$850K · 15 reviews

Mark Reiland has worked the south metro out of RE/MAX Advantage Plus's Savage office since 2000 and leads the small Reiland Team there. His public review record is real but thin — 15 Google reviews at 4.2 stars — and his brokerage profile lists a wide, generalist range of specialties rather than a narrow focus. Recorded sales cluster in Shakopee, Prior Lake, and Savage, consistent with a Scott County-centered practice. He holds a Certified Distressed Property Expert designation, relevant to short-sale and foreclosure work.

Beth Reilly

8.4/10

$225K–$2.1M

A hyper-local West Bloomington specialist who, with husband-and-wife partner Dan Burling, has built a 13-year practice concentrated almost entirely in one submarket.

Nikki Ritter

8.5/10

$300K–$900K · 43 reviews

Nikki Ritter is a RE/MAX Advantage Plus associate working out of the brokerage's Eagan office, with nine years in the business. RealTrends Verified 2025 data ranks her first by sales volume among agents primarily working Eagan, on 45 closed sides worth about $24.7 million. Her review record is real but thin on the platforms most buyers check first, concentrated instead on Experience.com. She works both sides of the transaction rather than specializing in one price tier or property type.

Eda Rivers

7.8/10

$60K–$1.6M

Eda Rivers is an individual Realtor with Compass Minnesota, based out of the brokerage's office in Edina. Zillow attributes roughly 70 career sales to her, about 14 in the past year, across a price range from around $60,000 to $1.6 million and an average near $409,000. Client accounts on Zillow and her brokerage bio consistently describe her as responsive and patient, particularly with first-time buyers. She works as a solo agent rather than leading a team, so the person a client hires is the person handling the transaction.

Scott Rodman

8.4/10

$77K–$680K · 28 reviews

A Blaine-office luxury and lakefront specialist with the strongest independently-verified review record in this batch — 4.9 stars across 28 reviews.

Brian Scates

9.0/10

$300K–$1.2M · 155 reviews

Brian Scates runs his own brokerage, Scates Real Estate, out of the Plymouth / northwest-metro area — a GRI-designated broker with 20-plus years, 800-plus career transactions, and 155 Redfin reviews at 4.9. He's the high-volume, independent-brokerage choice across the west and northwest metro, comfortable from first-time buyers to the upper-mid market.

Carrie Schmitz

8.5/10

$165K–$2.4M · 334 reviews

A 14-year NW-metro veteran whose team carries the largest review count of the agents we vetted for Plymouth, with communication specifically singled out by clients.

Dan Schneider

8.4/10

$200K–$1.2M

A Dale/Grand-neighborhood local whose design-and-staging partnership with his husband is a genuine, uncommon differentiator.

Chad Schwendeman

9.2/10

$11K–$3.2M · 1077 reviews

The highest-volume, most-reviewed real estate team in the Brainerd Lakes market — a safe default pick for exposure and track record, though you'll likely work with a team member rather than Chad personally.

Tom Scott

8.8/10

$280K–$750K · 6 reviews

Tom Scott has sold real estate in Shakopee since 2001 and added a broker's license in 2010, working as an associate out of RE/MAX Advantage Plus's Shakopee office rather than leading a named team. Brokerage materials credit him with several hundred Shakopee sales and a career total in the high hundreds of closed transactions. Public review volume is modest — a handful of write-ups on Birdeye and Facebook rather than hundreds on Zillow — but every rating found is five stars.

Graham Smith

9.1/10

$150K–$2.8M · 100 reviews

Graham Smith has run The Graham Smith Team at Keller Williams Integrity Lakes since 2002, building $125M+ in career volume and 100 Zillow reviews at 5.0 (172 across platforms). He's the deeply-reviewed choice for Minneapolis city neighborhoods — from first-time buyers to investment — backed by a full team and two decades in the market.

Tom Sommers

8.8/10

$210K–$980K · 214 reviews

The most heavily-reviewed solo agent working Lakeville, with two decades of hyper-local, mid-market resale experience behind the numbers.

Heidi Swanson

8.2/10

$172K–$913K

A boutique Grand Avenue agent whose Old Home Certification is a genuine edge for Saint Paul's historic housing stock.

Nate Thompson

Brian Wagner

8.3/10

$180K–$650K

Brian Wagner is a Coldwell Banker Realty agent working out of the Crocus Hill office on Grand Avenue, licensed in Minnesota since 2007 after an earlier career in higher education administration. His stated practice centers on Saint Paul's Macalester-Groveland, Summit Hill, and Crocus Hill neighborhoods, with first-time buyers and foreclosure transactions named as specialties. No aggregated review count or sales-volume figure is publicly posted for him, so his standing rests more on neighborhood ties than on documented numbers.

Kristi Weinstock

8.8/10

$475K–$3.9M

Kristi Weinstock leads The Weinstock Group at Coldwell Banker Realty out of Excelsior, on the south shore of Lake Minnetonka. A 20-plus-year veteran and long-running Twin Cities Super Agent, she covers the south-lake and southwest metro across a wide range, from mid-market homes to $3.9M-plus lakefront. A strong choice for buyers and sellers centered on the Excelsior–Shorewood–Chanhassen side of the lake.

Karissa White

8.7/10

$250K–$890K · 5 reviews

Karissa White has sold real estate in the Bloomington market for close to two decades, working as an associate with RE/MAX Advantage Plus. Her production is heavily concentrated in Bloomington itself, and trailing five-year transaction data shows a roughly even split between buyer- and seller-side closings. Public reviews are uniformly five stars, but the verified count is small — five on RateMyAgent — thin for a career this long.

Stu Wood

8.3/10

$185K–$2.3M

An Alexandria native and Edina Realty's top local producer, with the largest tracked sales volume of any agent we reviewed in this market.

Kim Ziton

9.0/10

$600K–$3.9M

Kim Ziton has worked the Woodbury and east-metro market since the mid-1990s and has been credited by Keller Williams as its top-producing agent in Woodbury every year from 2012 through 2025. She operates as a solo licensed agent supported by an assistant and a staging consultant rather than a multi-agent team, and her publicly listed transactions skew toward move-up and luxury price points above $600,000. Independently verifiable third-party review counts were not accessible at research time, so her public reputation rests more on brokerage production rankings and self-published testimonials than on an outside audit.

Sonja Zoet

8.5/10

$160K–$620K

Sonja Zoet has worked the Mankato-area market since 2013, a hometown return after starting her license in Florida and South Carolina. She spent seven years at True Real Estate, Mankato's largest local brokerage by sales volume, before moving her license to Real Broker, LLC in late 2024 while continuing to run her own team, The Zoet Group. Every review platform checked shows a perfect star rating, though aggregator sites disagree sharply on the exact review count, so no single figure here is treated as authoritative.
