8.8/ 10
Very good
Recommended without reservation
A licensed-attorney-turned-Realtor who built the highest-volume team in the Fergus Falls lakes market, best suited to buyers and sellers who want a large support team and deep contract expertise behind a lakeshore or commercial deal.
Pros
- ✓555 closed transactions and $155.8M in career sales volume tracked on Homes.com, with the deepest Fergus Falls footprint (343 sales) of any team profiled here
- ✓Licensed Minnesota attorney in addition to Realtor, useful for contract-heavy or complicated closings
- ✓Large, specialized team (PLACE model) covering lakeshore, residential, land, and commercial rather than one generalist doing everything
- ✓Facebook page shows a 100% recommend rating across roughly 90 reviews
- ✓Reported as Keller Williams' #1 Minnesota team by client count since 2017 and the only KW team with a Luxury designation in the Minnesota Lakes Area, per the team's own materials
Cons
- ✗No independent Zillow- or RateMyAgent-style star rating to cross-check the Facebook recommend figure against (RateMyAgent lists zero reviews on his profile there)
- ✗A large team model means the person you sign with may not be the agent at every showing
- ✗The team's '#1 in Minnesota' and Luxury-designation claims come from its own marketing rather than a third-party ranking

Core specialties
Lakeshore & Waterfront
The team's own bio names lakeshore property as a core focus, and its Homes.com listings skew heavily toward lake homes around Fergus Falls, Ottertail, and the wider Minnesota Lakes Area.
Commercial & Land
Beyond houses, the team markets dedicated commercial and land expertise, reflected in vacant-land and commercial listings alongside residential ones.
Attorney-Level Contract Support
Ryan is a licensed Minnesota attorney in addition to being a Realtor, a background the team highlights for navigating unusually complex purchase agreements.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Lake-property buyers and sellers
The team's scale and lakeshore focus suit buyers hunting cabin or year-round lake property across the wider Fergus Falls lakes region.
Clients who want a full-service team
With specialists across lakeshore, land, and commercial, this fits clients who would rather have a team divide the work than rely on one generalist.
Not for
Sellers who want one dedicated agent personally handling every showing rather than a larger specialized team.
Verdict
The highest-volume, most heavily staffed operation in this roundup, with a genuine legal-background edge on paperwork; the tradeoff is that a bigger team is a different experience than one dedicated agent.
Score: 8.8 / 10 · Very good
