Steve Fiorella
RE/MAX Results · Apple Valley, MN
Updated July 2026
Editorial evaluation
8.5/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low20/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A two-decade-plus Apple Valley fixture running a genuine multi-agent team out of RE/MAX Results' own Apple Valley office, with a directly verified license and address.
Pros
- ✓Office is physically located in Apple Valley (15451 Founders Lane), not just claimed as a service area
- ✓More than two decades in business under the same local brand, suggesting stability rather than agent turnover
- ✓Named team roster (multiple licensed agents plus dedicated staging and closing staff), not a solo shop stretched thin
- ✓Holds ABR, CDPE, CRS, and GRI designations plus an Associate Broker license
- ✓Appears on the "Super Real Estate Agents" list, which by that site's own methodology represents roughly the top 3-5% of Twin Cities agents by client satisfaction
Cons
- ✗No independently published star-rating or review count was found to verify satisfaction levels at scale, beyond individual testimonials
- ✗As a team, clients may work with an associate agent for parts of the process rather than Steve directly at every step
- ✗General-practice team without one narrow specialty, such as a dedicated luxury or new-construction focus

Agent overview
Steve Fiorella started in new-home sales for a Twin Cities builder in 2001, then opened the Fiorella Group inside a local RE/MAX office in Apple Valley in late 2002. Today the team, an associate broker plus several licensed agents and dedicated staging and closing support, works Apple Valley and the surrounding south metro suburbs.
Core specialties
Full-Service South Metro Team
A multi-agent team, buyer's agents, listing support, staging, and closing coordination, built for volume across Apple Valley and neighboring suburbs.
Commission & fees
Not publicly listed; typically negotiable
Who this agent is for
Sellers who want dedicated staging support
The team includes staging as a standard part of the listing process, per client reviews.
Buyers or sellers who value brokerage tenure
Same Apple Valley RE/MAX office and team brand since late 2002.
Not for
Clients who strongly prefer working with one specific named agent throughout the transaction rather than a team-based hand-off between listing, staging, and closing specialists.
Verdict
One of the more clearly Apple-Valley-rooted teams available: a verified office, a verified license, and roughly two and a half decades of continuous local operation, though we could not independently confirm a specific review star-rating.
Editorial score: 8.5 / 10 · Very good · Evidence confidence: low (20/100)
Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Steve Fiorella 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 #40551269 recorded; current status should be rechecked with Commerce.
- Public review aggregate
- No review aggregate is recorded; missing data is not treated as zero.
- Professional first-party source
- SellingMSP.com — Fiorella Group 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.
