Very good
Recommended without reservation
Wendy Carson has worked out of RE/MAX Results' Apple Valley office since 1998, one of the longer continuous tenures among agents based in the south metro. Her practice spans first-time buyers through executive-level and relocation clients across a wide swath of the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin. Public review counts are unusually large for an individual agent -- well over a hundred logged ratings across Zillow and an independent aggregator, plus a separate Yelp page -- and are consistently close to perfect. She operates as a solo associate rather than under a named team brand.
Pros
- ✓28 years licensed in the same market (1998 to present), with RE/MAX's own tally crediting her with 72 recorded sales in Apple Valley specifically and 30 closings in the trailing 12 months
- ✓Review volume is large and consistent across independent platforms -- a 5.0 average on Zillow (155 reviews), 4.99 on the aggregator Experience (163 reviews), and a separate 32-review Yelp page -- with no visible cluster of complaints
- ✓Holds ten NAR-affiliated designations (including CRS, ABR, SRES, CDPE, GREEN, CLHMS) requiring coursework beyond a base license, spanning relocation, seniors', and distressed-sale transactions
Cons
- ✗Works solo rather than as part of a team, so there is less built-in coverage if she is unavailable during a transaction
- ✗Her stated service area runs across roughly 13 Minnesota counties plus western Wisconsin; nothing in her public materials singles out Apple Valley or Burnsville as a primary focus over the rest of that territory
- ✗Her most citable outside recognition (Mpls.St.Paul Magazine 'Super Real Estate Agent,' RE/MAX 100% Club) traces to 2007-2008; no independently verifiable award or ranking newer than that surfaced in public sources
Agent overview
Carson has been licensed in Minnesota since 1998 and in Wisconsin since 2002, working the entire time as an associate with RE/MAX Results out of the Apple Valley office at 15451 Founders Lane. She holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Central College in Iowa and a master's in business communication from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis; her public bio traces her move to Minnesota to graduate school rather than a lifelong local upbringing.
Her stated focus is residential sales spanning first-time buyers through executive-level homes, plus corporate and university relocation work, new-construction representation for buyers, and downsizing moves for empty-nesters. RE/MAX's own agent profile lists a roughly $114,000-to-$2.7 million transaction range and puts her Apple Valley sales count at 72, with 30 closings in the past year -- evidence of an active, still-producing practice rather than a legacy listing carried on reputation alone.
Core specialties
Relocation
She describes working directly with companies, organizations, and universities across the Twin Cities to place transferring employees, a niche that depends on employer referral relationships built over a long tenure rather than open-market marketing.
First-time and move-up buyers
Client reviews and her own site materials repeatedly reference walking first-time buyers through financing and inspection steps, alongside move-up and downsizing clients later in the ownership cycle.
New construction (buyer representation)
Her published specialty list includes representing buyers on new-construction purchases, distinct from acting as a builder's on-site listing agent.
Commission & fees
Not publicly posted; RE/MAX Results sets and negotiates commission per listing rather than publishing a fixed schedule.
Who this agent is for
Employer-relocated buyers and sellers
Her long-running, specifically named relocation-services focus fits transferees who want an agent already familiar with corporate relocation logistics rather than a generalist handling it occasionally.
Buyers or sellers who weight tenure and review volume
28 years in the same market and brokerage, plus an unusually large logged review count, suits clients who prioritize longevity and a documented track record over a newer agent or a large team's marketing reach.
Not for
Buyers wanting a boutique agent working exclusively inside Apple Valley/Burnsville, or a large team structure with multiple agents on call.
Verdict
Carson's tenure, review volume, and RE/MAX-tallied Apple Valley sales count are all independently verifiable and consistently strong; the tradeoff is a solo practice covering a very wide multi-county territory rather than a hyper-local south-metro specialist.

Common questions about Wendy Carson
Does Wendy Carson only work in Apple Valley?
No. Her office is based in Apple Valley, and RE/MAX credits her with 72 sales there specifically, but her stated service area covers roughly 13 Minnesota counties -- including Burnsville, Lakeville, Eagan, and Rosemount -- plus western Wisconsin.
Does she work alone or as part of a team?
Public sources list her as an individual RE/MAX Results associate rather than a named team; there is no public evidence of a buyer's agent or team member operating under her brand.
