Top Real-Estate Agents in Minneapolis, MN (2026)

1. Graham Smith

9.1/10

$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.

2. Jim Dropps

9.1/10

$180K–$1M · 32 reviews

Jim Dropps is the broker-owner of Northeast Real Estate Group and states that he has lived in Northeast Minneapolis since 2004. Zillow displayed 32 reviews at a 5.0 average, 20 sales in the trailing 12 months and 366 total recorded sales when reviewed. His first-party biography supports a construction-family and home-building background, but the exact number of homes built remains a profile claim rather than an audited production metric.

3. Fritz Kroll

8.9/10

$70K–$2.9M · 159 reviews

A well-documented downtown Minneapolis specialist: Zillow displayed 159 reviews at 5.0 and 25 trailing-year sales, while Homes.com displayed 175 five-year closings with the largest neighborhood concentration in North Loop.

4. Jeffrey Dewing

8.8/10

$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.

5. Jen Kyllonen

8.8/10

$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.

6. Karissa White

8.7/10

$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.

7. Josh Pomerleau

8.6/10

$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.

8. Tom Nicklow

8.6/10

$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.

9. Jon Perkins

$195K–$820K

A 40-year RE/MAX Results veteran whose team posts more closed Brooklyn Park sales than any other agent found in this research.

A two-decade Twin Cities Realtor and Bloomington broker-owner who has lived in the area since 1982, running his own small independent brokerage rather than a large franchise team.

17. Jordan Schroeder

8.3/10

$101K–$1.1M · 168 reviews

A White Bear Lake-based eXp team lead with 20 years of displayed experience and a large team record. Zillow showed 168 team reviews at 5.0, 33 team sales in the prior year, and 1,259 total team sales, with explicit attribution to the full Real Home Team rather than Jordan alone.

18. AJ Pettersen

8.2/10

$51K–$2.6M · 791 reviews

AJ Pettersen leads The Advisory Realty Group, now part of Pemberton Real Estate following a January 2026 merger. Zillow displayed 791 team reviews at 5.0 and 514 team sales in the trailing 12 months; those figures describe the 38-member team, not AJ's individual production. Pemberton identifies AJ as its Hopkins office leader, while Zillow lists Saint Louis Park among the team's service areas.

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.

24. Jaclyn Gavzy

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.

7.8/10

$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.
