7.5/ 10
Good
Solid choice, some limitations
A Moorhead-based RE/MAX agent early in her career whose 2025 production already ranks among the city's busiest, though her track record is still short.
Pros
- ✓RealTrends Verified 2025 data shows 19 closed sides / $6.6M volume, ranking #4 in Moorhead by both volume and sides
- ✓Office is physically located in Moorhead (935 37th Ave S), not across the river in Fargo
- ✓Mortgage-banking background gives her a genuine edge explaining financing to first-time buyers
- ✓Licensed in both MN and ND for buyers cross-shopping the Fargo-Moorhead metro
Cons
- ✗Only about 2 years licensed — far less runway than the other agents in this guide
- ✗No independently verifiable review count or star rating turned up on Zillow, Google, or RateMyAgent as of this writing
- ✗Her RE/MAX profile doesn't list a specific specialty focus beyond general residential buyer/seller work
Agent overview

Core specialties
First-Time & Relocating Buyers
Works with first-time buyers and people relocating into Fargo-Moorhead, drawing on a mortgage-banking background to translate financing details into plain language.
Moorhead-Based Local Knowledge
Raised between Grand Forks and Fargo with lake-country summers, and works out of a Moorhead office rather than commuting from across the river.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
First-time buyers who want financing explained clearly
Her mortgage-banking background means she can walk new buyers through loan-side questions many agents defer entirely to a lender.
Buyers relocating into Fargo-Moorhead
Grew up in the region and knows neighborhoods on both sides of the river.
Not for
Sellers or buyers who want an agent with a decade-plus track record or a documented luxury/niche specialty.
Verdict
Anderson's 2025 numbers are genuinely strong for someone two years in, and being Moorhead-based rather than Fargo-based is a real plus for hyper-local buyers. The absence of any verifiable review trail is the main open question, so ask for direct references.
