Carrie Lee & Team Evolution: wins Agent of the Year awards
RateMyAgent – the easiest review marketing platform for real estate agents – has announced Carrie Lee & Team Evolution as the winner of the Agent of the Year Award 2025.
The fifth annual awards ceremony was held yesterday (March 5th) virtually over Zoom, with RateMyAgent CEO Jim Crisera and US Chief Revenue Officer Stephanie Holtan as hosts. The RateMyAgent Awards recognizes the nation’s top real estate agents and Realtors® and celebrates their dedication to the highest standards of customer service. The event is the only real estate industry wide awards where customer satisfaction is the cornerstone of the selection criteria, rather than solely transaction volume.
Award winners and nominees are the most highly recommended performers by local sellers and buyers. They are selected based on customer satisfaction ratings across the country and overall sales performance. Eligibility for these awards is open to any real estate professional using the RateMyAgent platform for collecting client reviews, irrespective of whether they make use of RateMyAgent’s extensive features.
“The RateMyAgent Awards acknowledge real estate agents who go above and beyond for their clients,” said RateMyAgent CEO Jim Crisera. “Performance-based reviews are essential in enabling agents to stand out, and they’re also the main criteria toward receiving a RateMyAgent Award.”
“We’re striving to push the standard for customer service and tonight is about recognizing your exceptional efforts. Congratulations to every winner and nominee of this year’s awards. Your dedication to excellence is what drives this industry forward, and we can’t wait for another year of raising the bar for real estate professionals nationwide,” said Crisera.
With over 15 years of experience in luxury and resort real estate, Carrie Lee has established herself as a trusted leader in the Brainerd Lakes Area market—specializing in high-end properties valued at $1 million and above. Since launching her career in January 2008, she has built a reputation for market expertise, client-focused service, and a deep understanding of Minnesota’s most sought-after lakeside communities.
In 2022, Carrie partnered with longtime industry executive Mark Ronnei to co-found the Evolution Resort Real Estate Team brokered by eXp Realty. Drawing on Ronnei’s legacy at Grand View Lodge and Lee’s extensive market experience, Evolution was created to meet the growing demand for premium resort property ownership across northern and central Minnesota. “Our goal has always been to create a seamless, elevated experience for both buyers and developers in the resort space,” said Lee. “We saw an opportunity to bring a higher level of expertise and service to the evolving luxury resort market.”
One of Evolution’s flagship ventures, Quarterdeck Resort on Gull Lake, launched in 2023 and has already seen extraordinary success—with over $35 million in property sales and nearly every unit spoken for. This momentum reflects both the strength of the regional market and the team’s deep local knowledge and strategic approach to development sales.
Looking ahead, Evolution is proud to announce its involvement in a brand-new development project at Cragun’s Resort, located on the scenic south side of Gull Lake. This exciting addition will bring a new wave of upscale resort ownership opportunities to the Brainerd Lakes Area, further solidifying the region’s status as a premier destination for lakeside living.
