Joe did an excellent job for us. He knows the market and understands what needs to be done. As we live in northern Minnesota in the summer he arranged for a closing near us, was a great convenience to us. No doubt I would recommend Joe for the job……

If I needed to purchase another home I would call Joe. He went beyond expectations in helping us find a home in a slim market. He is personable, easy to talk to and always returned my calls and texts in a very timely manner. We had not pushased a home for over 30 years and he provided excellent guidance to help us negotiate a favorable outcome.

Sharlene was a top-notch professional right from the start. My brother (who did the vetting of Sharlene and another Realtor) said she not only answered all of his questions during their first meeting, but brought up things he hadn't even thought of. Once we told her we wanted to work with her, she immediately got to work, doing an in-depth analysis of similar homes for sale in the area (including attending several open houses), helping us find resources for carpet cleaning and painting and staging, scheduling outdoor drone shots, putting together the listing info, contacting the HOA... so many details that we didn't have to worry about! And she was our advocate when some of the work we'd hired was taking longer than expected, pushing on our behalf to get it done. She was highly communicative and responsive, and let us know in advance when she would be unavailable (which was seldom!). She gave detailed reports after the two open houses she held, describing the parties who'd come through and which ones seemed most interested, and followed up on the latter. Once we had an interested buyer, Sharlene helped us quickly find resources to address some unexpected concerns. We felt completely supported throughout the entire process, and were confident that we were in excellent hands.

Sharlene was great! Her experience and knowledge led to a seamless process to sell (and buy) our home. She consulted with us or her colleagues to ensure that any updates were made if needed and that our home was in the best condition for the new owners. We would highly recommend her and her team.

Scott has been awesome to work with! He’s available when needed, he’s present and focused on the task at hand, and he’s encouraging. Add a sense of humor and empathy, and you have the package deal of an efficient agent. A+!

Sharlene did a fantastic job of helping us find our first home in Minneapolis. My wife did extensive research into the market at the outset, which led her to Sharlene's very informative and reader friendly blog. Upon meeting Sharlene, we warned her that we weren't in a rush and would be especially picky about what we considered. Sharlene was understanding and undaunted. She stuck with us as we tiptoed into the market, sending us excellent recommendations and truly educating us about home buying--everything from inspections, home repair/construction, pricing negotiations, different types of sellers (and much more). I feel confident in saying that we wouldn't have made the good choices we did without Sharlene's patient and expert advice. On top of all that, Sharlene is a wonderful person, and meeting with her was always a pleasure. We love the home we ended up buying--it was much better than we had hoped for and in this market that feels like a big deal. If you're looking for someone who will advocate for you, offer solid advice, and stay on top of the details (from contacting other agents, paperwork, communication), Sharlene is the one for you.

Andrew did such a great job supporting us and guiding us through the house selling and purchasing processes. We had bought a home before but it was our first time selling, and he made it very easy for us by sharing clear information, timeline, and things to expect. He was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. We would definitely recommend him. Thanks, Andrew!

Honestly, I am amazed how much patience Andrew had with us. It took us about a year to find a home, and we were looking at houses almost every weekend. I really appreciated that he never tried to talk us into anything! We were in a very desperate situation and needed to find a home asap, but he really helped us in making the right decision and kept us from making a bad decision and buying something we didn't really love. In the end we found the perfect home, in the area we wanted, with the perfect size yard, and we couldn't have done it without him. Truly. Plus, he is not shy to get down on his knees to check out fireplaces, or go into creepy basements to check out a furnace or water heater. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a house!

It was a genuine pleasure to work with Andrew on finding our dream home. He's incredibly knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond expectations to make sure you're happy with what you're buying. His availability and flexibility was a huge help to our family, and I can't recommend working with him enough!

Andrew helped my 2 daughters in their home searches and when I decided to move to MN from Chicago they highly recommended him. He was everything they reported! Andrew is highly professional and knows so much about the housing market and the makeup of different communities. This was so helpful since I'd never lived in MN before. He really listened to what was important to me and finding homes that were a match. He's very adept at finding any structural or mechanical issues with a home which helped guide me in deciding whether to put in an offer and at what price. Andrew is also very personable which makes it fun to look at homes with him. He has a great sense of humor and at the same time takes his job seriously. I highly recommend Andrew to help you find the perfect home for you!

Joe is the agent you want on your team! Three years ago we trusted Joe to help us get our dream house through a video tour. We were not able to attend in person before the same day, end of day offer requirement on the property. With his expertise of the housing market and home construction, we felt comfortable putting in a competitive offer, just through his video tour. Three years later we just sold the home to relocate for work out of state. Joe found us the perfect buyers for our needs and made the whole process go as smooth as possible. We can not recommend Joe enough! With so many options for agents, why not choose the best one?! Thank you for everything Joe!
