Ellen DeHaven leads a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team in Wayzata and held an Active Minnesota resident-salesperson record when checked August 2, 2026. RealTrends reports 9 individual sides and $22.01M for 2025, while Homes.com displayed 82 closed sales and $170.9M over five years. Her $800M career-sales and 300-plus lakeshore-sales figures remain first-party claims, not independently reconciled career totals.
$150K–$2.8M · 119 reviews
Graham Smith leads The Graham Smith Team at Keller Williams Integrity Lakes. Zillow displayed 119 team reviews at a 5.0 average, 80 team sales in the trailing 12 months and 1,419 total team sales when this profile was reviewed. Those figures describe the team—not Graham's individual production—and replace earlier unsourced cross-platform and career-volume totals.
$300K–$1.2M · 155 reviews
Brian Scates leads Scates Real Estate from Wayzata. Redfin displayed 155 reviews at a 4.9 average, license 20529014 and 756 homes closed when reviewed. Zillow separately displayed 120 team reviews, 52 team sales in the trailing 12 months and 941 total team sales. The 800-plus career figure appears in profile biography copy and is kept as an attributed claim rather than an audited individual total.
$263K–$7.6M · 24 reviews
Jeffrey Dewing is a Coldwell Banker Realty luxury agent in Wayzata with an Active Minnesota resident-salesperson record when checked August 2, 2026. RealTrends reports 46 individual sides and $134.10M in 2025 volume, ranking first in Minnesota by individual volume for that edition. Zillow's separate July 18 snapshot displayed 24 reviews, 35 trailing-12-month sales and 615 total recorded sales.
$86K–$2M · 23 reviews
A long-tenured Minneapolis Lakes specialist with 23 Zillow reviews at 5.0 and a current public sales record spanning condos through $2M homes; strongest for sellers and buyers who value historic-home judgment, staging, and close-in neighborhood experience.
$15K–$2.9M · 326 reviews
A high-volume Coldwell Banker team with independently verified 2024 production of 282 sides and $125.61M. Zillow displayed 326 team reviews at 5.0 and 217 trailing-year team sales; none should be read as John's individual totals.
$475K–$3.9M · 9 reviews
Kristi Weinstock is a Coldwell Banker Realty agent in Excelsior with a first-party Lake Minnetonka and west-metro focus. Zillow displayed nine reviews at a 5.0 average, 53 sales in the trailing 12 months, 814 total recorded sales and a $130,000-to-$4.5 million sold-price range when this profile was reviewed. Coldwell Banker's experience and award statements remain attributed brokerage claims.
$220K–$750K · 139 reviews
A second-generation, tech-forward Maple Grove team pairing an outstanding review record with genuine new-construction expertise.
$250K–$890K · 5 reviews
Karissa White has sold real estate in the Bloomington market for close to two decades, working as an associate with RE/MAX Advantage Plus. Her production is heavily concentrated in Bloomington itself, and trailing five-year transaction data shows a roughly even split between buyer- and seller-side closings. Public reviews are uniformly five stars, but the verified count is small — five on RateMyAgent — thin for a career this long.
$18K–$1.7M · 321 reviews
Josh Pomerleau co-founded the Pomerleau Team and JPW Realty. Zillow displayed 321 team reviews at 4.9, 338 team sales in the trailing 12 months and 4,892 total team sales when reviewed. Coon Rapids is a named service area, but the operation is based in Maple Grove and its figures cover all team members.
$250K–$1.5M
Tom Nicklow has run Minnetonka Realty, a brokerage carrying the city's name, as broker/owner for the past 14 years, inside a firm with more than three decades of history there. He has sold Twin Cities residential real estate since 1984, holds the NAR's GRI designation, and was named a Mpls/St Paul Magazine "Super Agent" in 2023 and 2024. He works alone rather than leading a team, and covers a broad mix of property types — lakeshore, distressed, land — rather than one narrow niche.
$225K–$2.1M
A hyper-local West Bloomington specialist who, with husband-and-wife partner Dan Burling, has built a 13-year practice concentrated almost entirely in one submarket.
$200K+
A high-volume RE/MAX veteran with a reported 25+ year career and nearly 3,000 home sales, working from the same Apple Valley office building as the Fiorella Group.
$65K–$2.4M · 173 reviews
A high-volume eXp Realty team with a clearly defined social-media listing strategy and current Plymouth activity. Zillow displayed 173 team reviews at 5.0 and 126 team sales in the prior year; Realtor.com separately displayed 6 verified reviews at 4.5, so both platform snapshots are disclosed rather than blended.
$225K–$700K · 51 reviews
Team lead of an independent boutique brokerage literally named for the city it serves, with a strong Zillow review base and reviews that consistently single out his communication.
$150K–$900K
A 46-year Twin Cities veteran whose Grand Avenue team runs almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals.
$275K+
A 30-year Lake Minnetonka waterfront specialist — strong for lakefront or luxury business, less suited to a budget starter-home search.
Ben Ganje leads Ben Ganje + Partners at Lakes Sotheby's International Realty in Edina. Minnesota Commerce showed salesperson license 20513492 Active through June 30, 2028 when checked August 25, 2026. Zillow displayed 320 reviews at 5.0 and 82 sales in the trailing 12 months for the team, not for Ben individually.
$350K–$2.4M
A relocation and move-up/downsize specialist ranked in Edina Realty's top 10% company-wide, best suited to luxury and life-transition clients in the $350K-$2.4M range.
$450K–$1.8M
A marketing-background Compass agent posting real $10M-plus annual volume across Minneapolis and the West Metro, verified by RealTrends rather than just self-reported.
$180K–$1.2M · 6 reviews
Katie Fears is an active Edina Realty agent in Eden Prairie (part of the Leicht Fears Group) with a fast-growing practice — 61 homes sold and 21 in the last year, at a perfect 5.0 across her reviews. She's a strong, responsive choice for mid-market buyers and sellers across Eden Prairie and the west metro, from first purchases up to about $1.2M.
$100K–$860K · 87 reviews
A steady, full-service Edina Realty solo agent with a perfect 5-star record and verified buyer-side experience in Plymouth.
$240K–$1.4M
A Bloomington native who grew up in and still lives in the city, selling as part of the 30-plus-year Nancy Walker Team at Coldwell Banker.
$60K–$1.6M
Eda Rivers is an individual Realtor with Compass Minnesota, based out of the brokerage's office in Edina. Zillow attributes roughly 70 career sales to her, about 14 in the past year, across a price range from around $60,000 to $1.6 million and an average near $409,000. Client accounts on Zillow and her brokerage bio consistently describe her as responsive and patient, particularly with first-time buyers. She works as a solo agent rather than leading a team, so the person a client hires is the person handling the transaction.
$285K–$1.7M
An Edina Realty husband-and-wife team with Minnetonka named explicitly as one of four core southwest-metro markets.
