eXp Realty (Team Kathy Borys) · White Bear Lake, MN
Updated July 2026
Editorial evaluation
8.5/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low20/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A veteran Twin Cities team lead with more than 30 years in the business and a genuinely large, well-documented review base, operating out of a real office in White Bear Lake.
Pros
- ✓More than 30 years of Twin Cities real estate experience
- ✓Team office is physically located in White Bear Lake (4525 White Bear Pkwy)
- ✓25 independently verified 5.0-star reviews on FastExpert, aggregated from Zillow, plus additional reviews reported on Google
- ✓High documented transaction volume: 137 recent transactions and $11.5M in sales over the past year
- ✓Specific, detailed client reviews spanning first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and property "flip" sellers alike
Cons
- ✗Some third-party directories (FastExpert) still list her under her former brokerage, Coldwell Banker, rather than her current eXp Realty affiliation — worth confirming directly before hiring
- ✗As a team, you may work with an associate agent (Kristi & Garrett Ganske, Karina Bigit, Heather Womack, or Nancy Jorgensen) rather than Kathy personally

Who this agent is for
Clients who want a deeply experienced negotiator
More than 30 years in the business, with reported honors including a Coldwell Banker President's Club award and Top 1% national recognition.
First-time buyers or downsizers
Team explicitly markets guidance for first-time homebuyers and those ready to downsize.
Not for
Clients who want to confirm they're getting Kathy personally rather than a team member, or who prioritize one dedicated agent throughout.
Verdict
A legitimately tenured, well-reviewed local team lead — just confirm with her office which brokerage she's currently under, since public listings aren't fully in sync.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Kathy Borys 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
- 25 reviews at 5.0/5 when the profile evidence was reviewed.
- Professional first-party source
- Team Kathy Borys 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.

Common questions about Kathy Borys
Where is Team Kathy Borys located?
Their office is at 4525 White Bear Pkwy, Suite 122, White Bear Lake, MN 55110.
