Updated July 2026
Editorial evaluation
8.3/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low10/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A Roseville native with 35+ years in the business, best suited to first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone eyeing rural or lake-country property outside the metro.
Pros
- ✓35+ years of real estate experience, almost all of it centered on the Roseville area where he grew up
- ✓Published testimonials specifically cite regular market updates and quick responses to questions
- ✓Clear specialty breadth: first-time buyers, downsizing/upsizing, rural acreage, and lake-country property
- ✓Backed by Edina Realty's brokerage-wide resources
Cons
- ✗No independently verifiable numeric review count or star rating turned up in public search — only a handful of written testimonials on his brokerage bio page
- ✗Broad specialty list (suburban first-timers through rural acreage) means less of a laser focus than a single-niche specialist
- ✗Public web presence is thinner than some peers — most verifiable detail comes through the Edina Realty profile alone

Agent overview
Bob Willmus was born and raised in Roseville and has practiced real estate for more than three decades out of Edina Realty's Roseville office. His brokerage bio leans into both sides of the Minnesota experience — the metro's convenience and "the charm of outstate Minnesota" — reflecting a practice that spans first-time buyers in the suburbs and rural acreage or lake-country buyers further out.
Core specialties
First-time buyers and downsizing/upsizing
Reported focus areas on his Edina Realty bio, paired with decades of tenure in the Roseville market.
Rural acreage and lake-country property
Serves buyers looking outside the metro for rural central Minnesota acreage or lake/cabin-country homes, in addition to standard Roseville-area residential sales.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Roseville-area first-time buyers
Long local roots and decades of experience make him a solid pick for buyers who want a patient, locally grounded guide.
Buyers eyeing lake or rural property
His stated specialty in rural acreage and lake country sets him apart from most Roseville-office agents who stick strictly to suburban residential.
Not for
Sellers who want a data-heavy, high-volume marketing operation with a large published review count to point to.
Verdict
A strong choice on tenure and local roots, especially for first-time buyers or anyone considering a move to lake or rural property — just confirm current availability and ask for client references directly, since his public review footprint is thinner than some competitors'.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Bob Willmus against other researched agents using the same scoring model; it is not a statewide MLS production ranking. The displayed order follows the published five-factor score. The math is fixed; the five input scores are editorial evaluations of the public evidence available through July 2026.
- Ranking formula
- Local knowledge 25% + client reviews 25% + market expertise 20% + communication 15% + specialization fit 15%.
- Time period
- Evidence reviewed through July 2026. Review totals are snapshots; career claims may cover longer periods and must state that context.
- Objective vs. editorial
- The weighted calculation is deterministic after the inputs are assigned. Selecting evidence and assigning each dimension score require editorial judgment.
- Commercial independence
- Agents cannot purchase inclusion, a score, numbered position, or favorable verdict. Any sponsorship must appear outside the editorial ranking.
- Transaction-data boundary
- This edition does not use a private MLS feed or a standardized file of verified 2025 closings. Sales volume, homes sold, sale-to-list ratio, and days on market are not assumed when attributable evidence is unavailable.
- Independent corroboration
- Government records control licensing facts. Brokerage, agent, review-platform, award, and production claims are kept distinct; agreement across sources raises confidence but does not erase source limitations.
Evidence captured for this profile
- Minnesota license record
- No license number is stored in this profile; use the state lookup for current status.
- Public review aggregate
- No review aggregate is recorded; missing data is not treated as zero.
- Professional first-party source
- No official professional website is recorded in the current profile.
Exact field-level source URLs are not yet available for every narrative claim. Until they are, production and award statements should be treated as attributed public claims—not as independently audited MLS facts.
