Seller Specialist — Minnesota Real-Estate Agents

1. Ellen DeHaven

9.2/10

$185K–$8.8M · 2 reviews

Ellen DeHaven leads a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury team in Wayzata and held an Active Minnesota resident-salesperson record when checked August 2, 2026. RealTrends reports 9 individual sides and $22.01M for 2025, while Homes.com displayed 82 closed sales and $170.9M over five years. Her $800M career-sales and 300-plus lakeshore-sales figures remain first-party claims, not independently reconciled career totals.

2. Chad Schwendeman

9.2/10

$11K–$3.2M · 1077 reviews

A high-volume, heavily reviewed Brainerd Lakes team: Zillow displayed 1,077 team reviews at a 5.0 average and 434 team sales in the trailing 12 months when this profile was reviewed. The scale is well documented, though clients should expect a team model rather than assuming Chad personally handles every step.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Brian Scates

9.0/10

$300K–$1.2M · 155 reviews

Brian Scates leads Scates Real Estate from Wayzata. Redfin displayed 155 reviews at a 4.9 average, license 20529014 and 756 homes closed when reviewed. Zillow separately displayed 120 team reviews, 52 team sales in the trailing 12 months and 941 total team sales. The 800-plus career figure appears in profile biography copy and is kept as an attributed claim rather than an audited individual total.

6. Kim Ziton

9.0/10

$69K–$3.4M · 212 reviews

Kim Ziton is a Woodbury-based Keller Williams luxury agent whose first-party site lists extensive production recognition. Zillow independently displayed 212 reviews at 5.0, 81 sales in the trailing 12 months and 1,328 total recorded sales when reviewed. Zillow's profile-level figures are useful public evidence, but they are not an audited MLS production statement.

7. Candee Deichman

8.9/10

$68K–$2M · 16 reviews

A documented Mankato Century 21 agent with Minnesota license 40383097, a 16-review Zillow snapshot at 5.0 and 62 trailing-year platform sales across a broad $68K-to-$2M range.

8. 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.

9. Kristi Weinstock

8.8/10

$475K–$3.9M · 9 reviews

Kristi Weinstock is a Coldwell Banker Realty agent in Excelsior with a first-party Lake Minnetonka and west-metro focus. Zillow displayed nine reviews at a 5.0 average, 53 sales in the trailing 12 months, 814 total recorded sales and a $130,000-to-$4.5 million sold-price range when this profile was reviewed. Coldwell Banker's experience and award statements remain attributed brokerage claims.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. John Schuster

8.8/10

$15K–$2.9M · 326 reviews

A high-volume Coldwell Banker team with independently verified 2024 production of 282 sides and $125.61M. Zillow displayed 326 team reviews at 5.0 and 217 trailing-year team sales; none should be read as John's individual totals.

13. Beverly J. Van Alstine

8.7/10

$100K–$750K · 31 reviews

Nearly two decades in the Duluth market with genuine rural/lake-home expertise and a strong, independently verified review record.

14. Corrine Hobbs

8.7/10

$58K–$1.1M · 4 reviews

Duluth's most explicit waterfront/lake specialist, backed by a two-decade track record and a former career as a licensed appraiser.

15. Amanda Lumley

8.7/10

$11K–$2.9M · 47 reviews

Amanda Lumley is a Crosslake-based Northland Sotheby's agent with current individual evidence: RealTrends reports 36 sides and $20.89M from 2025 sales data, while Zillow separately displayed 47 reviews at 5.0 and an $11K–$2.9M platform range. Current Minnesota license status still needs an official Commerce lookup before signing.

16. Regan Englund

8.6/10

$300K–$900K · 56 reviews

Regan Englund founded the Regan Englund Real Estate Group, a small team working out of Keller Williams Classic Realty NW in Maple Grove. She holds Minnesota real estate license #40370982 and has been active in the market for roughly a decade. Combined Zillow and Google reviews put her near a 4.9 average across 56 ratings, and third-party agent-ranking data credits her group with about 93 closed transactions in the trailing 12 months. She covers a wide range of transaction types rather than a single niche.

17. 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.

18. Michael Boege

8.6/10

$225K–$2.9M · 10 reviews

A 21-year Coldwell Banker veteran whose Boege | Dean team focuses on the St. Croix Valley's higher end -- lake homes, legacy estates and acreage -- backed by a perfect but numerically thin Yelp record.

19. Beth Nordaune

8.5/10

2 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.

20. 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.

21. Sonja Zoet

8.5/10

$160K–$620K

Sonja Zoet has worked the Mankato-area market since 2013, a hometown return after starting her license in Florida and South Carolina. She spent seven years at True Real Estate, Mankato's largest local brokerage by sales volume, before moving her license to Real Broker, LLC in late 2024 while continuing to run her own team, The Zoet Group. Every review platform checked shows a perfect star rating, though aggregator sites disagree sharply on the exact review count, so no single figure here is treated as authoritative.

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. Jessica Tietema

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.

25. Moraghan DeRosia

8.5/10

$110K–$2.1M · 3 reviews

A Highland Park specialist with 19 years of experience and a clean 5.0 review record, even if that record is still thin in volume.

26. Clark Diel

8.5/10

$118K–$650K

A 24-year Mankato veteran with 157 closed sales in the last five years and a specialty list built for harder deals such as foreclosures, short sales, and investment property, not just straightforward retail sales.

27. Misty May

8.5/10

$25K–$699K · 5 reviews

A 27-year Coldwell Banker professional with recent Apple Valley seller activity and a broad two-state footprint. Zillow displayed 5 reviews at 5.0 and 8 sales in the prior year, while Realtor.com independently displayed 4 verified reviews at 5.0.

28. Steve Fiorella

8.5/10

$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.

29. Monica Kaiser

8.5/10

$173K–$4.8M

A 26-year, born-and-raised lakes specialist whose documented sales record ($57.2M over 69 sales in five years, up to $4.8M) makes her the clearest waterfront/luxury pick of the group.

30. Beth Reilly

8.4/10

$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.

Robert Elliott is a Grimes Realty broker/owner whose Minnesota broker license 40369970 was Active when checked August 25, 2026. Zillow displayed 29 sales in the trailing 12 months, 683 total sales and six reviews at 5.0 on his individual profile, with a profile-stated Bemidji-area lake, land and investment focus.

32. Dan Schneider

8.4/10

$200K–$1.2M

A Dale/Grand-neighborhood local whose design-and-staging partnership with his husband is a genuine, uncommon differentiator.

33. Dawn Witt

8.4/10

$95K–$1.1M · 4 reviews

A Willmar lifer with 24 years licensed and a straight-talking bio that promises — and reviews confirm — fast callbacks.

34. Marisa Nybo

8.4/10

$160K–$1.5M

The third-generation owner of Red Wing's largest brokerage, with more closed transactions in town over the last five years than almost anyone else profiled here.

35. Bruce Johnson

8.3/10

$150K+

The most tenured agent in this guide — a 40-year Moorhead broker/owner with a RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award, now working alongside his son.

36. Stu Wood

8.3/10

$185K–$2.3M

An Alexandria native and Edina Realty's top local producer, with the largest tracked sales volume of any agent we reviewed in this market.

37. 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.

38. 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.

39. Emily Benz

8.3/10

$250K–$650K · 34 reviews

A seller-focused Edina Realty agent with a strong, well-rated Google review base and a mortgage-industry background she leans on for market-stats-driven pricing advice.

40. Chris Mosier

8.2/10

$250K–$800K

Chris Mosier has sold real estate in the Lakeville-anchored south metro since 2009, with more than 700 homes closed across Lakeville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Prior Lake and Burnsville. He works as a bilingual (English/Spanish) generalist rather than a niche specialist, covering first-time buyers, move-up sales, new construction and investment property. He recently moved to the newly independent Pemberton Real Estate after several years affiliated with eXp Realty, and no verifiable aggregate review count turned up to back the scattered positive testimonials on his own site and Yelp.

41. Richard McDonough

8.2/10

$370K–$2.4M

Richard McDonough is a fourth-generation Stillwater resident who has worked as a real estate broker in the city for roughly three decades and holds dual licensure in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He practices as an associate broker with Lakes Sotheby's International Realty out of its downtown Stillwater office, with current and recent listings concentrated in the historic Main Street corridor. Third-party transaction data (homes.com) shows 84 closed sales over the past five years worth about $41.9 million; that figure, and the 238 sold listings shown on his own brokerage profile, are both well below the '450+ career transactions' cited in his marketing, a gap that is not explained anywhere public.

42. Ann Breuer

8.2/10

$195K–$775K · 30 reviews

A 25-year veteran team based in neighboring Champlin with the deepest career transaction history of this group and an independently tracked 5.0-star rating across 30 reviews.

43. Pat Johnson

8.2/10

$209K–$1.1M

A four-decade Northfield fixture whose name keeps coming up in neighbor recommendations, though her public review footprint is thinner than her tenure would suggest.

44. Jason Huerkamp

8.2/10

Jason Huerkamp is presented by Huerkamp Home Group as its founder and co-leader in Burnsville. When checked August 19, 2026, Zillow showed 339 reviews at 5.0 and 472 sales in the preceding 12 months for the team; Homes.com separately published a five-year activity snapshot without making individual-versus-team scope sufficiently clear. A current Minnesota Commerce result was not captured during this review.

45. 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.

46. Sean Drury

8.1/10

$220K–$850K

A veteran Associate Broker and partner at Counselor Realty's Coon Rapids office who stacks four NAR designations behind a practice spanning starter homes, lakeshore, land, and new construction.

47. Michael Hunstad

8.1/10

$220K–$650K

The Managing Broker of Counselor Realty's Coon Rapids office, pairing brokerage-leadership credentials with a stated low-pressure, relationship-first sales style.

A Keller Williams Classic Realty agent out of the Coon Rapids office with two decades of hands-on land-development and new-construction background alongside her licensed-contractor husband, and a self-described focus on luxury properties.

52. Eda Rivers

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.

53. Kimberlee Nelson

7.8/10

$140K–$810K

A near-30-year Bemidji community member at Edina Realty with real five-year production data spanning houses, land, and commercial deals.
