Editorial evaluation
8.3/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low10/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A 30-year Lake Minnetonka waterfront specialist — strong for lakefront or luxury business, less suited to a budget starter-home search.
Pros
- ✓30 years focused specifically on the Lake Minnetonka market, with Minnetonka named explicitly in his service area
- ✓Third-generation lakefront property owner — firsthand knowledge of waterfront-specific issues like dock rights and shoreline rules
- ✓Coldwell Banker International President's Premier member (top 1% globally) with CRS and GRI designations
- ✓Recent listings span from entry-level condos to multimillion-dollar lakefront estates, not just the top end
- ✓Works with a dedicated licensed partner (Emily Lieder) rather than juggling every transaction solo
Cons
- ✗Team model: expect Emily Lieder to handle a meaningful share of marketing and logistics, not just Gregg personally
- ✗Public marketing leans heavily on lakefront/luxury credentials, which may read as overkill for a modest inland Minnetonka listing
- ✗No independently verifiable review count or star rating turned up on Zillow or Google — the praise we found lives on his own site and BBB profile

Agent overview
Gregg Larsen has worked the Lake Minnetonka market with Coldwell Banker Realty for more than 30 years, building a name specifically around lakefront and near-lake sales that include Minnetonka's own shoreline. A third-generation lakefront property owner, he pairs that personal history with Coldwell Banker's Global Luxury marketing platform and partners with licensed agent Emily Lieder on client work.
Core specialties
Lake Minnetonka Waterfront
Three decades concentrated on lakefront and near-lake sales, including Minnetonka's own shoreline neighborhoods.
Luxury & Global Buyers
Coldwell Banker Global Luxury certification; recent deals range from condos to estates near $7 million.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Waterfront buyers and sellers
Anyone transacting on or near Lake Minnetonka who wants an agent whose entire practice has been built around that shoreline.
Luxury move-up sellers
Minnetonka sellers at the higher end who want a nationally-recognized negotiator and a two-person team handling marketing.
Not for
First-time buyers hunting a budget starter home may find his lakefront-heavy brand a mismatch for their search.
Verdict
One of the most tenured names tied specifically to the Lake Minnetonka market — a safe call for waterfront or luxury business in Minnetonka, as long as you're comfortable working with his two-person team rather than one person alone.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Gregg Larsen 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
- No license number is stored in this profile; use the state lookup for current status.
- Public review aggregate
- No review aggregate is recorded; missing data is not treated as zero.
- Professional first-party source
- gregglarsen.com 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.
Areas served
Common questions about Gregg Larsen
Does Gregg Larsen actually work in the city of Minnetonka, or just the lake towns around it?
Both — his published service area explicitly names Minnetonka and Minnetonka Beach alongside Wayzata, Excelsior, Orono, and the other Lake Minnetonka-area suburbs.
Is he a fit for a first home purchase in Minnetonka?
He can handle it, but his practice and recognition are built around lakefront and luxury sales, so a budget-focused first-time buyer may get more focused attention from an agent who specializes in that segment.
Does he work alone?
No — he's paired with licensed partner Emily Lieder, who handles a meaningful share of marketing and client-facing logistics.
