Graham Smith

9.1/10

$150K–$2.8M · 100 reviews

Graham Smith has run The Graham Smith Team at Keller Williams Integrity Lakes since 2002, building $125M+ in career volume and 100 Zillow reviews at 5.0 (172 across platforms). He's the deeply-reviewed choice for Minneapolis city neighborhoods — from first-time buyers to investment — backed by a full team and two decades in the market.

Jim Dropps

9.1/10

$240K–$1.2M · 33 reviews

Jim Dropps has lived in the Sheridan neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis since the mid-2000s and founded Northeast Real Estate Group, an independent two-agent brokerage, in 2012. His recorded sales cluster almost entirely in Northeast and North Minneapolis neighborhoods — Audubon Park, Waite Park, Windom Park, Holland, Sheridan, and Near North — and his firm markets itself specifically around neighborhood duplexes and starter homes. Public reviews are limited in number but uniformly five-star, and a construction-and-building background in the family gives him a practical angle on the area's older housing stock.

Tom Scott

8.8/10

$280K–$750K · 6 reviews

Tom Scott has sold real estate in Shakopee since 2001 and added a broker's license in 2010, working as an associate out of RE/MAX Advantage Plus's Shakopee office rather than leading a named team. Brokerage materials credit him with several hundred Shakopee sales and a career total in the high hundreds of closed transactions. Public review volume is modest — a handful of write-ups on Birdeye and Facebook rather than hundreds on Zillow — but every rating found is five stars.

Chad Baker

8.8/10

$130K–$850K · 67 reviews

A Lakeville native with a builder's-eye view of the market — two decades at RE/MAX Advantage Plus, $120M+ in career sales, and a strong independently verified review record.

Scott Lynch

8.7/10

$180K–$750K · 100 reviews

Scott Lynch has worked full-time in Central Minnesota real estate since 2001 and is currently with Agency North Real Estate in Sartell, just across the river from St. Cloud. Public sources credit him with more than 500 career transactions and roughly $100 million in sales volume, along with a GRI designation. Independent review platforms show consistently high marks, though the exact count varies by source. He works across a broad range of clients rather than one narrow price tier or property type.

8.7/10

$220K–$750K · 139 reviews

A second-generation, tech-forward Maple Grove team pairing an outstanding review record with genuine new-construction expertise.
