8.3/ 10
Very good
Strong public evidence, with limitations still worth reviewing
Evidence confidence
Low20/100
Documentation completeness and reliability—not agent quality.
A solo Fargo-based RE/MAX Realtor with genuinely verifiable review proof and an explicitly stated Moorhead service radius.
Pros
- ✓58 Google reviews aggregating to a 5.0 average (56 five-star, 2 four-star), verified via Birdeye's Google-sourced review feed
- ✓Explicitly states a 40-mile Fargo/Moorhead service radius rather than a vague 'greater area' claim
- ✓Solo model with no team hand-offs or administrative fees — one point of contact start to finish
- ✓MRP (Military Relocation Professional) designation plus stated experience with divorce, downsizing, and loss-of-spouse transitions
Cons
- ✗Office is in Fargo, ND, not Moorhead itself — some clients may prefer an agent physically based on the Minnesota side
- ✗Solo practice means availability can tighten when he's juggling multiple deals at once
- ✗No documented luxury or high-end sales track record

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This profile evaluates Tom Clusiau 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
- No license number is stored in this profile; use the state lookup for current status.
- Public review aggregate
- 58 reviews at 5.0/5 when the profile evidence was reviewed.
- Professional first-party source
- Facebook 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.
