Top Real-Estate Agents in Crow Wing County

1. Chad Schwendeman

9.2/10

$11K–$3.2M · 1077 reviews

The highest-volume, most-reviewed real estate team in the Brainerd Lakes market — a safe default pick for exposure and track record, though you'll likely work with a team member rather than Chad personally.

2. Randa Haug

8.8/10

$15K–$2.3M · 177 reviews

A high-volume solo agent with an unusually deep review base for someone not running a branded team — a strong pick for buyers, especially first-timers and single-family/lake-home shoppers.

3. Mark Pietig

8.7/10

$12K–$4M · 121 reviews

Founder of a RE/MAX Platinum Club/Hall of Fame team focused squarely on Brainerd Lakes waterfront — the clear specialist pick if a lake home is the goal.

4. Amanda Lumley

8.7/10

$11K–$2.9M · 47 reviews

The clearest luxury/waterfront specialist of this group, backed by Sotheby's global marketing reach and two decades of local closings up to $2.85M.

5. Chad Piepho

8.0/10

$200K–$1.5M · 6 reviews

Chad Piepho has worked in Minnesota real estate since 2003 and has been based in the Brainerd Lakes area since 2008, now serving as broker/owner of Counselor Realty's Brainerd office. His public review footprint is thin for that tenure — six ratings on one aggregator site, all five stars — so there is limited independent volume to judge consistency against. His stated coverage is concentrated on specific lake chains (Gull Lake, Whitefish Chain) and nearby towns rather than the broader Brainerd market as a whole.
