Agent overview
Jonathan Brenny works out of Edina Realty's Maple Grove office as part of the Jarrod Peterson Real Estate Group, a team now in its 21st year with more than $732 million in career sales volume. He carries a National Relocation Specialist designation and publishes hyper-local guides to individual Maple Grove neighborhoods, though — unlike the team's brokerage-wide numbers — his own individual review count isn't independently published anywhere we could verify.
Core specialties
Relocation
Designated National Relocation Specialist, handling corporate and out-of-state moves into the northwest metro.
Maple Grove Neighborhoods
Publishes dedicated guides to specific Maple Grove subdivisions (e.g., Maple Grove Villas), suggesting granular hyper-local focus.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Relocating buyers
National Relocation Specialist designation with an established process for out-of-town buyers.
Buyers wanting a full-service, established brokerage
Backed by Edina Realty and the long-tenured, high-volume Jarrod Peterson Real Estate Group.
Not for
No independently published review count or transaction volume for Jonathan individually, so buyers who weight public review data heavily should ask for references directly.
Verdict
Strong institutional backing via Minnesota's largest brokerage and a 21-year, $700M+ volume local team, though his individual public review record couldn't be independently verified.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Jonathan Brenny 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
- Jarrod Peterson Real Estate Group 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.
