8.5/102 reviews
Beth Nordaune is identified as Enclave Team's founder and team leader. When checked August 19, 2026, Zillow showed 1,330 reviews at 5.0 for the team, while Beth's separate individual profile showed two reviews at 5.0 and no reported sales data. Those records are kept separate, and a current Minnesota Commerce result was not captured during this review.

Ranking disclosure
Why this ranking appears in this order
This page compares 6 researched agents with a stated home base or service area in Olmsted County. The displayed order follows the published five-factor score. The math is fixed; the five input scores are editorial evaluations of the public evidence available through August 2026.
- Ranking formula
- Local knowledge 25% + client reviews 25% + market expertise 20% + communication 15% + specialization fit 15%.
- Time period
- Evidence reviewed through August 2026. Review totals are snapshots; career claims may cover longer periods and must state that context.
- Objective vs. editorial
- The weighted calculation is deterministic after the inputs are assigned. Selecting evidence and assigning each dimension score require editorial judgment.
- Commercial independence
- Agents cannot purchase inclusion, a score, numbered position, or favorable verdict. Any sponsorship must appear outside the editorial ranking.
- Transaction-data boundary
- This edition does not use a private MLS feed or a standardized file of verified 2025 closings. Sales volume, homes sold, sale-to-list ratio, and days on market are not assumed when attributable evidence is unavailable.
- Independent corroboration
- Government records control licensing facts. Brokerage, agent, review-platform, award, and production claims are kept distinct; agreement across sources raises confidence but does not erase source limitations.
