Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.

Zillow displayed 119 team reviews at a 5.0 average, 80 team sales in the trailing 12 months and 1,419 total team sales when this profile was reviewed.

- ✓119 Zillow team reviews at 5.0 at the July 2026 evidence review
- ✓Comfortable across the range, from first-time buyers to investment properties
Cons
- ✗A team model — you may work with team members, not always Graham directly
- ✗City-focused; a pure lakefront or luxury-estate client may prefer a specialist
- ✗Broad range rather than a single niche
Profile evidence audit
4 of 5 evidence areas have exact citations
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.

Agent overview
Graham Smith leads The Graham Smith Team at Keller Williams Integrity Lakes in Minneapolis. Zillow describes 24 years of experience and showed 119 team reviews at 5.0, 80 team sales in the trailing 12 months, 1,419 total team sales and a $45,000-to-$2.7 million team price range when reviewed.
The profile explicitly says its sales and reviews represent all team members. They support a substantial Minneapolis-area team practice, but they do not establish Graham's personal transaction count. The previous $125 million career-volume and 172 cross-platform review claims were removed because an exact reproducible source was not attached.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Graham Smith 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.

Bryce Caldwell
9.1/10$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.
