RE/MAX — Minnesota Real-Estate Agents

1. Joe Houghton

9.4/10

$127K–$1.9M

Joe Houghton operates Minnesota Property Group under RE/MAX Results in Plymouth. Minnesota Commerce showed resident-broker license 40503429 Active through June 30, 2028 when checked August 2, 2026. His biography claims 1,600-plus career sales since 2002, while Zillow separately displayed 1,597 team sales, 20 in the prior 12 months and 183 team reviews at a displayed 5.0.

2. Valerie Berg

9.2/10

$170K–$800K · 11 reviews

A 28-year Cloquet-based veteran whose small team appears in the 2026 RealTrends Verified rankings with 49 sides and $15.17M in 2025 production, backed by a strong public review record.

3. Bryce Caldwell

9.1/10

$126K–$891K · 27 reviews

Bryce Caldwell is a Minnetonka-based RE/MAX Advantage Plus agent whose strongest public differentiator is a library of sourced west-metro and Lake Minnetonka due-diligence guides. Zillow displayed 27 reviews at 5.0, 17 sales in the prior 12 months, 62 total sales and a $126K–$891K range when reviewed. His own About page claimed 64 career sales, so the two totals remain separate rather than being blended.

4. Paul Ryan

9.0/10

$42K–$1.2M · 14 reviews

The most established name on this list — a 31-year broker-owner with a perfect 5.0 rating across 14 Zillow reviews and RE/MAX Hall of Fame recognition.

5. Scott Ulland

9.0/10

$97K–$648K · 8 reviews

A 40-year Austin native with RE/MAX's top production honors and a stack of five-star reviews to back it up.

6. Mary Lindgren

9.0/10

$107K–$420K · 36 reviews

Thirty-plus years deep in the Mower County market with the best-documented review record of any Austin, MN agent we checked.

Wendy Carson is a long-tenured Apple Valley RE/MAX Results agent with a current 159-review Zillow snapshot at 5.0 and independently verified 2024 RealTrends production of 30 sides and $13.28M. She operates as a solo associate across a broad Twin Cities service area.

8. Denel Ihde-Sparks

8.9/10

$48K–$2M · 100 reviews

A long-tenured Rochester team leader with a 100-review Zillow team aggregate at 5.0, 87 team sales in the trailing year and a published relocation focus—strong signals that must be interpreted at team, not individual, level.

9. Tom Scott

8.8/10

$139K–$1.7M · 106 reviews

A deeply established Shakopee RE/MAX agent with 106 Zillow reviews at 5.0, 55 trailing-year platform sales and independently verified 2024 production of 35 sides and $17.98M.

$64K–$1.1M · 63 reviews

An experienced Lakeville broker associate leading Grand Home Concepts, with a July 2026 Zillow snapshot of 63 team reviews at 5.0, 20 team sales in the prior year, and 879 displayed team sales. Best suited to clients comfortable with a team model and interested in south-metro resale, land, or new construction.

11. Amanda Armstrong

8.8/10

$63K–$1M · 31 reviews

A Fergus Falls-based RE/MAX agent whose public profiles document an 18-year experience claim, recent local transaction activity and strong review snapshots. Platform totals conflict, so compare the underlying records rather than combining them.

12. 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.

13. Brandon Doyle

8.7/10

$220K–$750K · 139 reviews

A second-generation, tech-forward Maple Grove team pairing an outstanding review record with genuine new-construction expertise.

14. Kevin Kalligher

8.7/10

$104K–$810K · 39 reviews

A high-volume Duluth-Superior agent with a near-perfect, independently verified review record and hundreds of closed sales.

15. 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.

16. Dan Hennen

8.7/10

$110K–$1.3M · 9 reviews

RE/MAX Advantage Plus presents Dan Hennen as a full-time agent since 1994 in its Shakopee office. Zillow labels the profile as team-led and displayed 9 team reviews at 4.89, while Realtor.com displayed no review aggregate. Those platform records should not be merged or treated as an individual MLS production history.

17. Skip Halverson

8.6/10

$150K–$700K · 7 reviews

A 23-year, Hall-of-Fame RE/MAX producer with a perfect (if thin) review record, built around first-time buyers, lake/recreational property, and round-the-clock availability.

18. Jordan DeCaro

8.5/10

$17K–$1.2M · 198 reviews

Jordan DeCaro leads the DeCaro Real Estate Team at RE/MAX Results in Duluth. Zillow displayed 198 team reviews at 5.0, 168 team sales in the trailing 12 months and 1,172 total team sales when reviewed. Those are team-level platform figures, not Jordan's individual production. RE/MAX separately named him a 2026 Torchbearer.

19. Nikki Ritter

8.5/10

$300K–$900K · 43 reviews

Nikki Ritter is a RE/MAX Advantage Plus associate working out of the brokerage's Eagan office, with nine years in the business. RealTrends Verified 2025 data ranks her first by sales volume among agents primarily working Eagan, on 45 closed sides worth about $24.7 million. Her review record is real but thin on the platforms most buyers check first, concentrated instead on Experience.com. She works both sides of the transaction rather than specializing in one price tier or property type.

20. Becky O'Brien

8.5/10

$175K–$660K · 66 reviews

A 25+-year Maple Grove veteran whose electrician/housing-inspector background gives real technical edge on rural, acreage, and lakeshore deals.

8.5/10

$69K–$390K · 18 reviews

A consistently 5-star-rated RE/MAX agent who has guided a steady stream of Mankato-area first-time buyers and sellers over 8 years, with zero negative reviews on record.

23. Steve Fiorella

$275K–$750K

A two-decade-plus Apple Valley fixture running a genuine multi-agent team out of RE/MAX Results' own Apple Valley office, with a directly verified license and address.

24. 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.

26. John & Michele Anselmo

8.4/10

$250K–$900K

A husband-and-wife team with combined licenses dating to 1999 and 2001 — Michele is the Shakopee RE/MAX office's broker of record — with a genuine new-construction angle through John's separate homebuilding company.

27. Lisa Carter

8.4/10

$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.

A solo Fargo-based RE/MAX Realtor with genuinely verifiable review proof and an explicitly stated Moorhead service radius.

30. Michael Jordan

8.3/10

$220K–$913K · 1 reviews

A lifelong Northfield resident since 1983 with the highest sales volume of this group and a genuine new-construction/relocation specialty, though his public review count is thin.

31. Bob Reidell

8.3/10

$150K–$900K

A 46-year Twin Cities veteran whose Grand Avenue team runs almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals.

8.3/10

$350K+ · 58 reviews

A Chanhassen-office broker-owner with a genuine lake-property niche and real, verifiable reviews behind him.

33. Ryan Haagenson

8.2/10

$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.

34. Ryan Bretzel

8.2/10

$238K–$1.3M

A solo, 20-year RE/MAX Results agent who genuinely works the full spectrum from first-time buyers to rural acreage, though his review record is inconsistent across platforms.

35. Nick Siltanen

8.2/10

$100K–$350K

A fourth-generation Cloquet native with 27 years as a broker associate at the town's own RE/MAX office — deep local roots, though light on public reviews and sales-volume data.

36. Matt Gillard

8.2/10

$213K–$475K

Co-owner of RE/MAX Venture with over two decades in the business, a broker-level pick whose strength is deep local standing and a bench of agents behind him rather than a large personal review trail.

37. Mark Reiland

8.1/10

$275K–$850K · 15 reviews

Mark Reiland has worked the south metro out of RE/MAX Advantage Plus's Savage office since 2000 and leads the small Reiland Team there. His public review record is real but thin — 15 Google reviews at 4.2 stars — and his brokerage profile lists a wide, generalist range of specialties rather than a narrow focus. Recorded sales cluster in Shakopee, Prior Lake, and Savage, consistent with a Scott County-centered practice. He holds a Certified Distressed Property Expert designation, relevant to short-sale and foreclosure work.

38. Wendy Giles

8.0/10

$100K–$800K

A 27-year Bemidji-area veteran at RE/MAX Results with an unusually broad specialty list, from rentals to lakefront lifestyle to development land.
