Updated July 2026
Editorial evaluation
8.6/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low30/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A 21-year Coldwell Banker veteran whose Boege | Dean team focuses on the St. Croix Valley's higher end -- lake homes, legacy estates and acreage -- backed by a perfect but numerically thin Yelp record.
Pros
- ✓21 years in the Twin Cities/Western Wisconsin market, with an Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) designation
- ✓Part of the Boege | Dean Team, adding marketing and transaction bandwidth beyond a solo agent
- ✓$132.2M in tracked sales volume over the past five years across 219 closed transactions (homes.com)
- ✓Clean 5.0-star rating on Yelp (10 reviews), and bilingual in English and Spanish
- ✓Clear specialization in lake homes, legacy estates and acreage -- property types that reward a specialist
Cons
- ✗Only 10 reviews on Yelp is a thin public record relative to 21 years in business
- ✗As a 3-person team, some transaction steps may involve a teammate rather than Mike directly
- ✗Sales skew toward higher price points, which may mean less day-to-day focus on entry-level buyers

Agent overview
Mike Boege has worked the Stillwater and Western Wisconsin market for more than two decades and is a partner in the Boege | Dean Team at Coldwell Banker Realty, alongside Abby Dean and Jacqui Nordstrom. Homes.com tracks 219 closed sales over the past five years worth $132.2 million, averaging about $604K per sale -- consistent with a practice built around distinctive, higher-value property rather than high-volume turnover.
Core specialties
Lake homes & legacy estates
Mike's Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) designation and his team's marketing are built around distinctive, higher-value property -- lake homes, legacy estates and acreage -- rather than high-volume turnover.
Seller marketing & exposure
His team's own materials emphasize positioning listings for the widest possible audience through modern marketing and agent-network reach, aimed at sellers of harder-to-price, distinctive homes.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Sellers of distinctive St. Croix Valley property
Legacy estates, acreage and lake homes that need specialized marketing and pricing are squarely his team's focus.
Buyers seeking lake or luxury property
His ALHS designation and team resources suit buyers navigating a competitive higher-end market.
Not for
Budget-focused first-time buyers hunting entry-level condos will likely find a dedicated first-time-buyer specialist a better fit than a team built around distinctive, higher-end property.
Verdict
Boege is a sound pick for sellers or buyers of higher-end St. Croix Valley property who want a specialist team behind the transaction; his public review count is small, so ask for direct references given the size of purchase typical of his book of business.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Michael Boege 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
- License #20532182 recorded; current status should be rechecked with Commerce.
- Public review aggregate
- 10 reviews at 5.0/5 when the profile evidence was reviewed.
- Professional first-party source
- Boege | Dean Team 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 Michael Boege
Does Mike Boege work with buyers, or mainly list homes for sellers?
Both -- Coldwell Banker's materials show him representing buyers and sellers, though his designations (ALHS, legacy estates, lake homes) lean toward higher-end listings and seller-side marketing.
What areas around Stillwater does Mike Boege cover?
His team describes its territory as the Twin Cities metro and Western Wisconsin, with a particular focus on St. Croix Valley communities.
Is Mike Boege only for luxury buyers?
His designations and $132.2M in five-year tracked volume point toward higher-value properties, but Coldwell Banker's own profile also describes him serving 'a diverse portfolio of clients, from CEOs... to first-time home buyers.'
