Very good
Recommended without reservation
A Sartell-based Coldwell Banker branch VP with 13 years in the business and dual credentials in military relocation and probate sales, covering an unusually wide swath of Central Minnesota.
Pros
- ✓13 years of experience and roughly $122.7M in career sales volume, per EffectiveAgents
- ✓Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES) — a fairly specific dual-credential combination
- ✓Dual-licensed in Minnesota and Florida
- ✓Unusually broad service area, roughly 20 towns across Central Minnesota
Cons
- ✗No independently verified public review count or star rating was available at publication time
- ✗As a Branch Vice President, she carries brokerage-management responsibilities alongside her personal client load
- ✗Such a wide multi-town coverage area can mean less hyper-local focus on any single neighborhood
Agent overview
Welsh has 13 years of real estate experience and roughly $122.7 million in career sales, per EffectiveAgents' ranking of St. Cloud-area agents.

Core specialties
Military Relocation
MRP-designated, aimed at service members and families navigating PCS moves and VA loans.
Probate & Estate Sales
CPRES-designated, a specialty credential for handling the added legal and timeline complexity of probate sales.
Multi-State Reach
Licensed in both Minnesota and Florida, useful for clients splitting time between the two.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Military families relocating under PCS orders
Her MRP designation directly targets this situation.
Families managing a probate or estate sale
Her CPRES designation is a specific, less-common credential for this exact scenario.
Not for
Buyers who want an agent hyper-focused on one specific St. Cloud neighborhood rather than a wide regional territory.
Verdict
Welsh's dual military-relocation and probate credentials are a genuinely useful, fairly uncommon combination for the right client. Her broad multi-town coverage is a strength for reach but means less specialization in any one part of St. Cloud specifically.
