David was awesome. He was very professional and honest in his approach. He helped us understand exactly what needed to be done to get our house sold for the most money, in the least amount of time. The first offer came in one hour and fifteen minutes after we hit the market. That was the one we ended up accepting as it was well above our list price. His pre-marketing strategy worked like a charm as we had 40 showings and eight offers within the first three days. He stayed with us through the entire process to make sure we closed on time with no hassles. I highly recommend David as an agent.

"I would absolutely recommend David! He helped us find our first home (a triplex) and was extremely patient and responsive. We looked at a crazy number of properties (close to 50) with David over 6 months. He was consistently patient and cheerful with us. We really felt like he wanted to be sure we found the right one, no matter how long it took. More than once he met us within hours of a property coming on the market that we decided we wanted to see. Since we were looking at an investment property, it was great to have David's expertise in that area. During showings, he would point out ways we could increase value and share tips from his past experiences owning and remodeling investment properties. Even after the sale closed, we've asked David questions and he has remained very helpful. We love our new (really old) house!”

It was a pleasure working with you and we really appreciated the updates–even if it was to report that there was nothing to report. It felt like you hadn’t forgotten about us and that was a wonderful feeling! Thanks again! So glad it’s done!”

“Carolyn is amazing! She is quick to respond and always goes above and beyond to bring you the most up-to-date information on properties that match your search criteria. She is personable and truly cares about her clients. when the going gets tough (as it does sometimes)–she goes to bat and tries to make the home buying process as easy as possible. I can’t say enough about Carolyn and how easy she made my home buying experience by being by my side every step of the way.

Linda is a fantastic realtor! She has completed three property transactions for me. I would refer any of my friends to her to either buy or sell a property. She is very experienced and makes the whole process go very smoothly. She is also very prompt in returning phone calls and following through and keeping the client informed at every step of the process. Highly recommended!

Dave, I wanted to write and let you know how happy we were with everything you did. You have great skills and really know what you are doing. You priced it right, you worked the deals for us, and you demonstrated great patience at the end as we worked through some last minute challenges. Both you and Annie are great agents. I would use you again in a minute. I will certainly make recommendations for you with my contacts in the Twin City area.
Thanks for Everything.

I can’t thank you enough for making the process of selling my house as painless as possible! I’ve learned a lot, that’s for sure, and I owe most of that to your openness and willingness to share information! I’ll keep you in mind if I ever need to buy a house, and I’m passing your name to everyone who even mentions selling or buying to me in Minnesota! Stay warm over the next few nights, and stay dry over the weekend–they’re saying another bout of snow on Saturday is coming or way! Thanks for everything!”

When I moved back to Minnesota I was looking to downsize to a small condo or townhouse. Linda showed me exactly what I was looking for but also showed me smaller homes. Ultimately she found the perfect small home for me and I am very happy. Linda was great to work with; it always seemed like she was working just for me and had time to walk through this process with me. When the time comes to sell and move on...Linda will be my real estate professional.

Sally was really helpful as a first time home buyer. I had a ton of questions and she would always provide a thorough answer within the hour.
I never felt any pressure to look at more places, make offers, etc. which was beneficial for me to help relieve some of the uncertainty of the process for someone who hadn't been through it.

Thank you so very much for bringing your wisdom and fair play to the closing table yesterday. I doubt the closing would have happened without you! I get to see a lot of agents and brokers who often forget their focus should be on their clients and the transaction. You soothed the anger of both parties and created a resolution where everyone walked away feeling whole. My hat is off to you!

We chose Linda from a list of realtors because she had many years of experience in the area we were looking. We were first time home buyers and wanted someone with a vast knowledge to help us along. Linda was great! She was always quick to respond to our questions and would book house showings at the earliest convenience. She was never pushy and would let us look at each house, giving us pointers on what to look for and update if we liked the house. She was very, very organized which made the closing go smoothly. If you are looking for a house in Carver County, make sure to keep her in mind!

Experience! Any agent can help you sell or buy a home but experience is what is required when challenges arise in a real estate transaction. We learned this first hand. Linda was a constant advocate for us through the entire process. We found her to be responsive to our many emails and text messages, assertive in representing our interests and diplomatic when a more sensitive tone was necessary. Linda was always honest with us and we respected her wisdom as we consulted with her. Linda helped us pursue and purchase our dream home and we recommend her without reservation.

Dear Dave,
Thank you so very much for bringing your wisdom and fair play to the closing table yesterday. I doubt the closing would have happened without you!
Agents see a lot of agents and brokers who often forget their focus should be on their clients and the transaction. You soothed the anger of both parties and created a resolution where everyone walked away feeling whole. My hat is off to you!
I really debated blowing the whistle, but I knew the sellers wanted to sell and buyers wanted to buy and that was not happening again."
Thanks a Bunch!

I known a number of realtors. I chose Bill & Patti because I admire their honesty, work ethic and compassion. They went above and beyond, by helping me decide what repairs to make as well as what not to . They helped me find the people to do the work and meet them when I was unavailable. They made it a smooth stress fee sale . I highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed.

From day one, Linda was there for us on our journey into first time home ownership. She didn't leave much to imagination, as all our options were right there on the table from the start. Linda doesn't hold back, and is a straight forward, no-nonsense realtor. Exactly the type of person I was looking for. We decided, rather than buy a pre-owned home, that building one was the best option for us, and she was right there by our side through the whole process. Today, I consider her a friend and ally, and I would recommend her to any of my friends or family.
