Very good
Recommended without reservation
An Alexandria native and Edina Realty's top local producer, with the largest tracked sales volume of any agent we reviewed in this market.
Pros
- ✓Highest tracked sales volume of any agent reviewed here ($157M / 314 closed deals in 5 years)
- ✓RSPS-certified for lake and resort property transactions
- ✓Lifelong local -- grew up in Alexandria rather than relocating in for the job
- ✓Backed by Edina Realty's brand and regional referral network
- ✓Multiple independent client reviews describe fast turnarounds, including lake homes sold within days of listing
Cons
- ✗High volume likely means less individually-tailored attention than a boutique solo agent might offer
- ✗Works under a large regional brokerage, so marketing follows Edina Realty's standard approach rather than a bespoke one
- ✗We could not independently verify an aggregate review star rating -- the quotes we found were strong but anecdotal

Who this agent is for
Sellers who want maximum market exposure
Backed by Edina Realty's referral network and a record of fast sales.
Lakefront buyers and sellers
RSPS designation and deep experience across Alexandria's chain of lakes.
Not for
Buyers or sellers who specifically want a boutique, low-volume agent with maximum one-on-one time.
Verdict
One of the highest-volume, most tenured individual agents in the Alexandria market -- a strong default choice, especially for lakefront deals, if a busier practice doesn't bother you.
