8.8/ 10
Very good
Recommended without reservation
A high-volume solo agent with an unusually deep review base for someone not running a branded team — a strong pick for buyers, especially first-timers and single-family/lake-home shoppers.
Pros
- ✓177 Zillow reviews at a 5.0 average — rare volume for a solo (non-team) agent
- ✓Nearly 20 years of consistent production: roughly $29M (2024) and $34M (2025) in closed volume
- ✓Handles a notably higher share of single-family homes than the average area agent, per third-party transaction data
- ✓Broad geographic range across Brainerd, Baxter, Nisswa, Crosslake, Pequot Lakes, and outlying lake towns
- ✓Homes sell faster than the local average per third-party transaction-history data
Cons
- ✗Solo practice — no large team to lean on, so availability can tighten during her busiest stretches
- ✗Recent transaction data (Homes.com) shows a buyer-heavy deal mix (roughly 4x as many buyer-side as seller-side deals over the trailing 5 years) — sellers should ask directly about her listing-side track record
- ✗Smaller total review count than the largest local teams, simply because she isn't running a multi-agent group

Who this agent is for
Buyers new to the Brainerd Lakes market
Long local tenure and a buyer-heavy track record make her a natural fit for out-of-town or first-time lake-area buyers.
Sellers of single-family and rural/land properties
Comfortable across houses, land, and manufactured homes, from sub-$100K park models to $1M+ acreage parcels.
Not for
Sellers seeking an agent whose recent public track record is predominantly listing-side — her recent deal mix leans buyer-heavy.
Verdict
One of the most-reviewed individual (non-team) agents in the Brainerd Lakes Area, with the production numbers to back it up — a strong solo choice, particularly for buyers.
