Recommended without reservation
A two-decade Bemidji broker/owner with a perfect 5-star Zillow record and deep lake, land, and investment-property expertise.
Pros
- ✓23 years as a full-time Bemidji Realtor and now broker/owner of his own local firm
- ✓Perfect 5.0-star rating across 6 published Zillow reviews, several specifically praising fast, proactive communication
- ✓Wide specialty mix: buyer and listing representation, relocation, foreclosure, property management, and investment properties
- ✓Deep lake-property and land expertise suited to Bemidji's lakes-region market
- ✓High transaction volume (675+ recent sales tracked on Zillow, priced $16K-$690K) shows consistent, active production
Cons
- ✗Small independent brokerage means less of the national marketing and referral machinery of a big-brand franchise
- ✗As broker/owner he also runs the office, which can compete for his time against direct client work
- ✗His 5.0 rating is real but comes from only 6 published reviews -- a thin sample relative to his transaction volume
