Missed the February issue of TCRP? You gotta' check out this article! Meet Brett Lizotte, the REALTOR® who believes real estate is all about building genuine relationships! 🌟 Whether it's with clients or colleagues, Brett’s approach is rooted in trust, connection, and a deep commitment to serving others.

Licensed in 2020, Brett quickly made a name for himself as a Twin Cities Real Producers Rising Star Finalist. Before real estate, he worked as a wedding photographer, capturing memories with his wife—and now, he’s making lasting memories in real estate.

Brett’s motivation? To be the kind of person who leaves a positive impact and shows others they’re truly valued. His “why” is deeply personal, influenced by the loss of his father, who taught him the power of relationships and community.

When he’s not helping clients, Brett loves sports, culinary adventures (he’s mastered wood-fired pizza), and spending quality time with his wife, Madeline, and their son, Banks.

🚨 FEATURED REALTOR ALERT 🚨 Meet Graham Smith! 🌟

Making a personal change can affect our life and our destiny. This Fall marks 25 years since Graham Smith made the life-changing decision to quit drinking after experiencing significant personal challenges. “I was very lucky to discover sobriety at such an early age,” he shares. “It helped me break generational patterns that were destructive to many people in my family before me. I wouldn’t be able to do what I do today if I still drank.”

Graham knows how to overcome obstacles. His drive and determination were fundamental to starting his real estate career. In 2002, he got his real estate license and tasted sweet success in this competitive industry. An award-winning REALTOR®, Graham has been recognized as a Super Agent in Minneapolis/St. Paul Magazine. In addition, he and his team have earned a number of Keller Williams and Edina Realty awards over the years, including being the #1 Team in both volume and units closed for 3 of the last 5 years at the Keller Williams Integrity Lakes office in Minneapolis.

Read his story in the February 2025 issue of Twin Cities Real Producers and discover how Graham got to where he is today! 👏
