These 18 agents serving Minneapolis have demonstrated relocation expertise, independently scored on local knowledge, client reviews and market expertise — never who paid to be here.
Inclusion requires both a directory area match for Minneapolis and the relocationspecialty tag. Those fields are editorial classifications, not proof of a recent local closing; review each profile's evidence and ask for comparable recent work.

$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.
$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.
$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.
$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.
$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.
$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.
$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.
$150K–$700K · 79 reviews
A high-volume, first-time-buyer-focused veteran with one of the more substantial, independently-verifiable review records of any agent covering Brooklyn Park.
$150K–$900K
A 46-year Twin Cities veteran whose Grand Avenue team runs almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals.
$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.
$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.
$244K–$1.6M
A RE/MAX Hall-of-Famer with 16-plus years and a broad Twin Cities book of business, best for clients who want an experienced generalist rather than one narrow specialty.
$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.
$145K–$630K
A solo agent headquartered in Blaine with a decade-plus track record and a 4.8-star Redfin rating, covering an unusually wide swath of the metro.
$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.
