They obviously knew the market very well and the staging was INCREDIBLE and instrumental in the quick sale of our house. Happy with the counsel/advice we received and the fantastic service. While Cari Ann Carter Group is at a slightly higher % for realtor fees, worth it just for the staging and high touch service. UPDATE (approximately 1.5 years later): We recently used Cari Ann Carter again for the purchase of a lot. This was a bit spontaneous and Cari Ann is a pit bull when it comes to advocating for you. We were able to put in an offer Sunday, get a counteroffer Monday and secure the property on Tuesday. She was INSTRUMENTAL in making this happen quickly and is the best negotiator ever! She set reasonable expectations for us, which we really appreciated, and was very open in feedback along the entire way. More importantly, she is a DO-er! She had 2 contractors out within 12 hours of walking the property to help us with the logistics of design, finding a contractor, etc. You want her and her amazing team on your side when you're buying or selling!

Beware of fast talk and non-listener, nothing but pushy and arrogant. Two of the worst qualities we…read morewanted in a realtor. Cai Ann didn't listen. Also had a horrible experience with their partner, The Closing Phase, yet they wouldn't help us out with the negative experience we had after they received their commission for the sale of one home and purchase of new one, it's like we were no one to them after all was said and done. Will never use or recommend Cari Ann Carter again! WORST experience ever!!

Special shout-out to Heather, the Team Manager, who helped me navigate the intricacies and nuances of buying/selling by organizing and coordinating the necessary paperwork, communications, and to-dos on my behalf. She was a trusted resource; providing unwavering support, guidance, and clarification on next steps, and she did so with exceptional customer service and professionalism.

He took a ton of time to explain each step of the process so we felt fully prepared and capable of moving through it all once we found the right place, which we did right away! I think it was almost exactly two months from exchanging our first message with him on Yelp to closing on our dream home. We'd give more than five stars if we could!

Josh took our listing after we fired another agent in Edina because he really messed up the pricing and marketing of our home. We thought we would never sell and if we did, we thought we would lose everything. But we found Josh and things changed. Our home was being sold due to relocating out of state. Josh not only got the marketing back on track, but he made sure our home was in tiptop shape to get people through the home. He did everything he could to make sure that the house was maintained; even if that meant he was wiping down my windows. We needed carpet installed in the basement, and he was there to make sure it all went down the right way. We got an offer shortly after we were on the market, and he negotiated really well for us. Even between the pending sale and the closing, Josh was giving us updates on our home and making sure everything at the house was okay. He is a master at his marketing, sales pitch, presentation and process. His knowledge is priceless and he was extremely responsive - even after we had closed and he received his hard earned commission. We've never had a smoother real estate transaction in the three homes we have bought and sold. I still cannot believe he was able to rebound from the nightmare that preceded him. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOSH!

After interviewing several agents, I met with Thang. We clicked immediately, talking to Thang was like talking to an old friend. Thang is not pushy, he listens to your thoughts and concerns. Every realtor has a different approach and I felt the most compatible with Thang. Thang's hardworking team, Ben, Stephanie and Angella were also a pleasure to work with. My condo had been a rental for many years so Thang and Ben coordinated some needed updating and had it professionally staged. His team put together a beautiful marketing flyer and had open houses every weekend until it sold. Thang is very optimistic, he finds the positive in every situation. Even when the first offer fell through, he managed to put me at ease. Selling a home can be stressful but I was always confident Thang and his team were doing everything possible to sell my property. I am most grateful for their dedication and hard work. It was great to work with genuinely a nice group of people.
