For Real Estate Agents
Your career. Your goals. Your pace.
Elevate Group is a real estate team in the Brainerd Lakes Area and across Central Minnesota, led by Noah Goedker, a third-generation Realtor with eXp Realty and a lifelong resident of the Lakes Area. The team supports agents with leads, training, mentorship, AI-powered tools, and a culture that celebrates your wins. Start with what you want to build, not with a pitch, then decide if it feels right.
Serving agents across the Brainerd Lakes Area and all of Central Minnesota, from Brainerd and Crosslake to Little Falls, Aitkin, and Pine River.
No pressure, no obligation. Just a real conversation about where you want to go and whether this team is part of that.
Who This Team Is Built For
Built for the agents of the Brainerd Lakes Area and Central Minnesota
We talk to agents across the Brainerd Lakes Area and all of Central Minnesota, from Brainerd, Crosslake, and Nisswa to Little Falls, Aitkin, and Pine River, closing anywhere from a few sides to twenty-five a year. If that is you, the profiles below are about what your career could become.
You bring the production. Imagine keeping more of it.
$3M to $5M+ in volume, 15 to 25 sides, and a team that helps you keep more of what you build.
You are busy building. You deserve more leverage.
8 to 15 sides, every deal through you, and a team that handles the support work so your ambition sets the ceiling.
You want a steadier, stronger year ahead.
Markets shift, and the right environment shifts with them. Imagine leads and a system built to keep your momentum steady.
You want a balanced, resilient business.
Buyer-heavy or listing-heavy, the right team feeds both sides so your business grows stronger in any market.
The Opportunity
Real estate is competitive. Your team shouldn't be.
Most teams promise leads and leave you to figure out the rest. Elevate Group is different. We built a complete system: how leads come in, how listings get marketed, how transactions get handled, and how every agent gets trained on the tools that win deals.
As a team inside eXp Realty, we combine the agility of a boutique operation with the resources of one of the largest cloud-based brokerages in North America. That means more support, better technology, and a clear path to growth in Minnesota's lake country.
Agent Resource Center
Build your business first. Decide where to build it after.
Free calculators, assessments, and launch plans that work on your numbers, not ours. Find your real bottleneck, put a number on your income goal, and test whether a team actually pays for itself. Use them before you ever talk to us.

Four pillars behind every agent
A Proven System
We have systematized the parts of the business that slow agents down: lead intake, follow-up, listing marketing, transaction coordination, and client communication. You plug in and operate at a higher level from day one.
AI-Powered Technology
From market analysis to lead generation to automated marketing, we leverage cutting-edge AI tools so you spend less time on busywork and more time with clients. Our tech stack gives you an edge most solo agents cannot access.
eXp Realty Advantage
As part of eXp Realty, you get the best of both worlds: the agility and culture of a boutique team with the resources, training, stock programs, and national network of a cloud-based brokerage.
Culture of Growth
We believe in collaboration over competition. Every agent on our team has access to mentorship, shared resources, and a network of professionals invested in each other's success. Your growth is our growth.
The Market
One of Minnesota's most desirable markets
The Brainerd Lakes Area and the wider Central Minnesota region are year-round destinations with thousands of lakes, resort communities, and a growing population. Agents who know this market thrive here, and the team is built to help you build a strong business in it too.
Market Update · October 28, 2026
The freshest numbers agents can quote this week.
The survey holds at the break: Freddie Mac's October 22 print put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.32% from 7.40%, the first real decline in weeks, with the 15-year at 6.68% and the next print due Thursday, October 29. Independent county snapshots still put Crow Wing County's median near $367,000 with 407 homes for sale, up 13.4% year over year, and 36 median days on market, up 71%, in a buyers' market at about 3.6 months of supply, and Minnesota Realtors' September report sits at a $354,900 statewide median, down 0.7%, with inventory up 12.9% at a seven-year high. Locally, Essentia Health cut the ribbon on its nearly $50 million St. Joseph's-Orthopedic Center in Baxter, the Brainerd HRA considered its 2027 voucher payment standards, and the deadline to file claims in the $120,334,500 homebuyer commission settlement passed Monday, October 27, with final approval set for November 2. NAR membership is down roughly 200,000 from its peak. Here is the sourced snapshot our team carries into every listing appointment.
Development, infrastructure, and the local calendar
Baxter's biggest story this week is an employer, not a subdivision: Essentia Health cut the ribbon Wednesday, October 28 on its new St. Joseph's-Orthopedic Center, a nearly $50 million conversion of the former Camping World building into a 60,000-plus-square-foot facility with almost 80 exam rooms, and the city finalized its City Hall annex improvement on budget. Brainerd's council at-large candidates are campaigning on workforce housing while the HRA set its 2027 voucher payment standards, and the 821-acre Mississippi River estate near Brainerd remains the market's headline listing at around $15 million. In Pequot Lakes, the 69-room Bobber Inn and the 82-unit Lofts continue construction for 2027 openings, downtown Main Street reconstruction is underway, and the council is negotiating four more parcels south of the hotel. Crosslake heard wastewater capacity options with drying beds recommended at $2.5 million to $3 million and approved a five-year Pine River contract, and Nisswa is publicly discussing a second downtown at the Field of Dreams property across from Schaefer's Foods. Where new employers, new plans, and new services go up, listings, buyer farms, and referral income follow for years.
