Hear from our valued clients

  • Anne was the first realtor we called because her listings are impeccably prepared for sale. She has an excellent eye for how homes should be staged and freely shares that with clients. She recommended a few repairs, gave construction and design advice during the process; the cost was recouped over five-fold. House was priced to generate multiple bids and sold within 24 hrs with over 10 offers. Her 20 plus years of experience are evident throughout the sale and negotiations and we highly recommend her without reservation.

Anne's expertise in the local market led to a smooth and fast acquisition of a perfect property that met all of our needs. Anne and her team left nothing to chance, making sure that all of our goals for price, condition, and location were met.

  • Sarah was an ace at negotiating the sale of our home and really knowledgeable in everything from financing to inspection of homes. I would highly recommend her if you're selling or buying - she is a hard worker and loves what she does!

  • Anne was an excellent resource in looking for our home in Edina. We were faced with a difficult and tight market, she was a steady hand to bring us to closing. She found a home for us off market through local knowledge and word of mouth, within 45 days we were closed. I'd highly recommend Anne to anyone who's interested in buying a house!

  • I cannot overstate how much of a pleasure it was to work with Sarah. From the first time we met with her, it was clear that she was the right person for the job. Her knowledge, experience, empathy and humor made it actually fun to find our "forever" home in a crazy market.

    — Represented Buyer

  • Anne did an outstanding job throughout the entire process of our home sale. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a consultative approach. Anne did an initial walk-through of the home and provided expert guidance on what changes we needed to make to maximize our selling price. Further, Anne’s real estate team ramped up the marketing prior to us going on the market and we had many showings lined up the first day on the market. Anne was able to initiate multiple offers and we sold for over 11% more than asking in one day!

    — Represented Seller

  • If I could give Sarah more than 5 stars, I would. Not only was she super responsive, but she was also thoughtful and patient as we asked a million questions along the way. She guided us through writing a compelling offer without pressuring us to do anything we were uncomfortable with. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

    — Represented Buyer

  • Anne knows the business and negotiated a very favorable outcome for us as sellers. She is responsive and provides excellent follow up and detailed explanations when needed. The closing process was seamless. She was thorough and provided guidance at every stage of the sales process. Highly recommend!

    — Represented Seller

  • Sarah did an amazing job of selling our home of 25 years. From the time we asked Sarah to be our realtor, we were impressed with her plan to market our house to get the best possible offers. There is no doubt in my mind that she got the best price for our house and did so within 20 days of our asking her to be our realtor.
