Updated July 2026
Editorial evaluation
8.4/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low30/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A 30-year Shakopee fixture running a small father-son shop, with a clearly published 4.5% commission and a wide Scott-County service area, though its public review count is very small.
Pros
- ✓Three decades of dedicated Scott County practice under his own brokerage
- ✓Publicly stated 4.5% total commission — more transparent than most competitors, who don't post a rate at all
- ✓Handles residential, commercial, and land deals, useful for buyers/sellers outside a standard single-family sale
- ✓Father-son structure (Vincent handles technology/marketing) brings continuity without being a large, impersonal team
Cons
- ✗Public review count is very small — 5 reviews at a perfect 5.0 on ListWithClever.com — so treat the rating as a limited sample rather than a large-scale track record
- ✗As a small two-person shop, capacity during a busy season is inherently more limited than a larger team

Agent overview
Dave Brown (MN license #92364) has practiced real estate in Greater Scott County for about 30 years and runs his own brokerage, Dave Brown Realtors, LLC, from an office on Fuller Street in Shakopee. His son Vincent Brown has joined the practice over the past several years, giving the firm a father-son structure spanning residential, commercial, and land transactions.
Core specialties
Commercial & Land Transactions
Unlike many residential-only competitors, the firm explicitly advertises commercial and land deals alongside standard home sales.
Long-Tenure Local Negotiation
Dave's 30-year run in the same small market is central to his pitch: direct, opinionated guidance for both buyers and sellers.
Commission & fees
4.5% total, as published on the firm's own site
Who this agent is for
Sellers who want a clearly stated commission
The firm publishes a 4.5% total commission rate rather than leaving it to a first-call negotiation.
Buyers/sellers of commercial or land parcels in Scott County
The brokerage explicitly works outside pure residential resale.
Not for
Buyers or sellers wanting the marketing reach and staffing depth of a large regional team or franchise brand.
Verdict
A solid choice for Scott-County sellers who want a transparent commission and three decades of hyper-local negotiating experience, best understood as a small two-person practice rather than a full-service team.
Editorial score: 8.4 / 10 · Very good · Evidence confidence: low (30/100)
Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Dave Brown 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
- License #92364 recorded; current status should be rechecked with Commerce.
- Public review aggregate
- 5 reviews at 5.0/5 when the profile evidence was reviewed.
- Professional first-party source
- Dave Brown Realtors is linked for direct review of the agent's current public claims.
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.
