Very strong public evidence across the weighted dimensions
Evidence confidence
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
Ellen DeHaven leads a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team in Wayzata and held an Active Minnesota resident-salesperson record when checked August 2, 2026. RealTrends reports 9 individual sides and $22.01M for 2025, while Homes.com displayed 82 closed sales and $170.9M over five years. Her $800M career-sales and 300-plus lakeshore-sales figures remain first-party claims, not independently reconciled career totals.
Profile evidence audit
This measures what Minnesota Top Agents can trace to a dated URL. It does not measure the agent's quality, and an uncited area is a documentation gap—not proof that the underlying fact is false.

5/5 evidence areas cited
A citation supports only the claims named in the source register. It does not validate every signal shown in the same evidence area.
How many transactions did you personally close in Wayzata and the $185K–$8.8M range during the last 12 months?
Requests recent, comparable production and keeps personal results separate from team totals.
Which neighborhoods in Wayzata have you worked in most recently, and what local issue materially affected a deal?
Tests current, specific market knowledge instead of relying on a broad service-area label.
Who will handle showings, negotiations and updates day to day, and when will I work directly with the named agent?
Clarifies which team member is accountable for each stage of the transaction.
Will you provide a written, itemized explanation of compensation, services, cancellation terms and any additional costs before I sign?
Commission and services are negotiable; a written proposal makes candidates easier to compare.
Ellen DeHaven is a Coldwell Banker Realty agent and the namesake of a Global Luxury team in Wayzata. Minnesota Commerce's PULSE result showed resident-salesperson license 504166 as Active through June 30, 2027 when checked August 2, 2026. Recheck the state directory before signing because status can change. Coldwell Banker's individual profile links her to the team and attributes more than 40 years in real estate, $800M in career sales and 300-plus lakeshore properties to her. Those are useful first-party career claims, but this publication did not independently reconstruct them from transaction records.
Two platforms provide narrower, dated activity evidence. RealTrends reports 9 individual sides and $22.01M in volume based on 2025 sales data. Homes.com displayed 82 closed sales and $170.9M over the prior five years; its detailed buyer and seller tables span $185K to $8.8M. That broader observed range does not support the previous $2M minimum client-tier assumption.
The practice is a team, not a solo operation. Coldwell Banker's team page currently lists Ellen and Jenny Peterson, while the group's own About page also names Mia Beardsley. Ask who will handle showings, negotiations and transaction coordination for the specific engagement.
Coldwell Banker identifies the team as Lake Minnetonka luxury and lakeshore specialists. RealTrends and Homes.com show recent individual activity at high price points; request waterfront-specific examples for the exact lake and property type.
Coldwell Banker and the group site attribute 40-plus years, $800M in career sales and 300-plus lakeshore sales to Ellen. Treat those as first-party career claims; the independent sources reviewed cover shorter 2025 and five-year windows.
No agent-specific rate was documented in the reviewed sources. Compensation and services are negotiable; compare the exact amount or formula, included marketing, triggering events and cancellation terms in the written agreement.
Selling a Lake Minnetonka estate and prioritizing a long-tenured Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team. Ask for recent comparable lakefront closings and a written marketing plan rather than relying on the career totals alone.
Buying at the upper end of the market and wanting a team with independently visible recent individual activity. Confirm which team member will represent you and request examples matching the target bay, access type and price tier.
Consumers who want a large independent review sample or a content-heavy research library. The public record supports recent high-end activity, but the small review count and differing team rosters make interview questions about service ownership especially important.
Worth interviewing for Lake Minnetonka and luxury assignments when long tenure and a Global Luxury team matter. Compare recent property-specific examples, clarify the working team, and treat the $800M and 300-plus lakeshore figures as attributed first-party claims.

This is partial field-level provenance. The linked records support only the fields listed beside each source; other narrative claims remain attributed public-profile claims unless separately documented.

Homes.com's detailed prior-five-year tables ranged from $185K to $8.8M across buyer and seller records. RealTrends reported a $2.45M average for her 2025 individual production. These are dated platform snapshots, not a promised or exclusive client range.

RealTrends reports 46 individual sides and $134.10M in 2025 volume, ranking first in Minnesota by individual volume for that edition. Zillow's separate July 18 snapshot displayed 24 reviews, 35 trailing-12-month sales and 615 total recorded sales.

His biography claims 1,600-plus career sales since 2002, while Zillow separately displayed 1,597 team sales, 20 in the prior 12 months and 183 team reviews at a displayed 5.0.
$126K–$891K · 27 reviews
Bryce Caldwell is a Minnetonka-based RE/MAX Advantage Plus agent whose strongest public differentiator is a library of sourced west-metro and Lake Minnetonka due-diligence guides. Zillow displayed 27 reviews at 5.0, 17 sales in the prior 12 months, 62 total sales and a $126K–$891K range when reviewed. His own About page claimed 64 career sales, so the two totals remain separate rather than being blended.
