Very good
Recommended without reservation
A seller-focused Edina Realty agent with a strong, well-rated Google review base and a mortgage-industry background she leans on for market-stats-driven pricing advice.
Pros
- ✓34 Google reviews at a 5.0-star average
- ✓Multiple testimonials describe fast sales, including one home reportedly sold the weekend it listed with 6 offers
- ✓Mortgage-industry background (prior experience at a mortgage lender) that can help with pricing and financing conversations
- ✓Holds a Minnesota broker's license, not just a salesperson license
Cons
- ✗Her brokerage bio doesn't list a specific number of years of experience or a formal niche designation beyond general residential sales
- ✗34 reviews is solid but noticeably smaller than the busiest Roseville-office agents
- ✗Published testimonials skew toward sellers — buyers wanting a dedicated buyer's agent should ask directly about her approach on that side
