Very good
Recommended without reservation
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.
Pros
- ✓24 years of continuous local production, licensed since 2002
- ✓157 closed sales worth $34.7M in the past 5 years alone, a deep individual track record for this market
- ✓Broad specialty list covering distressed properties, foreclosures, short sales, and investment/income property
- ✓Works a wide radius beyond city limits, including Garden City, Mapleton, Madelia, Minnesota Lake, Sleepy Eye, and Owatonna
Cons
- ✗No independently verifiable aggregate star rating or review count could be confirmed directly at publication time
- ✗Public bio leans on transaction and experience stats rather than service-style testimonials, so his day-to-day communication style is less documented than some peers

Sellers and buyers in the small towns ringing Mankato
A large share of his recent sales are in Garden City, Mapleton, Madelia, and Minnesota Lake rather than Mankato proper.

Buyers who want a heavily-reviewed, service-forward agent with a large public testimonial trail to vet in advance.

One of the most experienced generalists in the Mankato market, especially strong for distressed, investment, or rural-fringe property, and worth a call if your deal is not a simple in-town retail sale.
