I have used DRG for the leasing and management of my two-bedroom condo in St. Louis Park and can't…read moresay enough about the great, responsive service I have received from the team. Within a week of inquiring about their leasing process, I had an agent out at my house to discuss my options and he helped me to make an informed decision on what my unit was worth in the current market. Following our discussion, they were quick to list the unit and promoted it in a variety of ways, including their Facebook page and other on-line resources. Two days and multiple showings later, I had a fantastic renter who committed to a 26-month lease. I credit this to my leasing team's knowledge of the market and reputation in the industry as being the go-to provider for condos in the MSP area. Since leasing my condo over two years ago, I have had nothing but outstanding service from my management team, namely, Megan Evans-Sharbano. She is quick, incredibly responsive and makes the landlord experience seamless. I live out-of-state and having someone on the ground near the unit, should something, happen is very comforting. My washing machine wasn't working and Megan not only sourced new machines within my given budget, she also arranged for the install and removal of my old unit, no questions asked. It couldn't have been a more painless experience and it's great to know I don't have to spend time arranging those types of tasks. I also have purchased Groupons for services for my home and she handles the timing of the service with my tenant. While the team does have a maintenance team who can assist with projects, it's nice to know they let me use whatever contractor or service-provider I want. She also does quarterly inspections to ensure the unit is being kept up, and is always providing updates as they arise. I've also referred DRG to a number of neighbors who are in similar situations and they have also had nothing but great things to say. As I look to sell my unit, there is no doubt that I will be leveraging DRG's selling team. I recently had a meeting with BJ LaVelle and he walked through the entire process and helped me understand the current market. I'm confident his team's reputation will be invaluable during this process and I'm excited for the possibility to continue my relationship with the DRG team, moving forward.

He entered the bldg & used the facilities in the bldg without a resident.

He requested an in-person Appeal board meeting which I was present & since he continued to be dishonest throughout the entire process, the real estate board severely increased his fine he had to pay to the board & required he complete other disciplinary measures & is on his public record for few years. He is the most dishonest Realtor in Real Estate & he is very unprofessional.

We bought our home with Billy virtually across the country. At first we were sure that we wanted to…read morestart looking at houses after we moved to Minnesota. Buying something as expensive and important as a house virtually seemed nuts. But as the new year began we started getting the urge to just take a look. Who knew that within just a few weeks we would have an accepted offer? There is no one else we would have felt comfortable buying remotely with. And the only reason we changed from just looking to seriously buying was because we came to trust and rely on Billy's opinions. He is not just a savvy and knowledgeable realtor, he is truly a sincere and nice guy. He would warn us that even if we lose out on a house, in the end it always works out (and SPOILER ALERT he's right). But he still commiserated with us when we were outbid and he really went above and beyond when we were searching for the right home. And he really does want to find you the right home. He will be honest with you about any negatives he sees and he will steer you away from any bad decisions. Sometimes we were so keen to just get a house that we were willing to settle or make hasty decisions. But Billy makes sure that whatever house you get is a great house and whatever you do is sound and smart. And I'm so glad that he was there with us helping make all our decisions. He would give us daily updates of his endeavors going door to door and networking with other agents. In the end it was a note of his he left on the door of a house that was off the market that did the trick. We were able to buy a house that was miles better than any of the other houses we put offers on with basically no other competition. In the crazy housing market right now you need someone like Billy who is willing to go the extra mile. He was always trying innovative techniques to help us stand out amongst other buyers and that's exactly what it takes these days. He's continued to be invaluable after closing. He was great to bounce ideas around with about updating the house after moving in and he and Heather have been great with recommendations. He is always super responsive and I'm so glad I can still rely on him even after we've closed.

Fulton Realty is an untrustworthy company from the top down. They will take advantage of you as a…read morebuyer if given the opportunity. I worked with Nicole Battle as my realtor. She showed me one house that she highly recommended as her coworker was the person who renovated it and was selling it. It turns out it was a flip, and Shelbie Walsh did the renovations herself with the help of a handyman. It must have been Shelbie Walsh's first flip because nothing was done correctly. Throughout the buying process, Nicole Battle strongly encouraged me not to get an inspection because she was confident Shelbie Walsh did a great job rehabbing the house. I trusted Nicole Battle and Fulton Realty and felt that since they all worked together, they had my best interest in mind and understood that I was looking for an investment property to grow my portfolio. Nicole Battle and I never had a meeting to review the paperwork; I had to do this myself as an inexperienced buyer. After I closed, I noticed countless things wrong with the house. Shelbie Walsh did not install lighting fixtures and appliances correctly. Electrical hazards were apparent throughout the house and basement. The first-floor bathroom flooded within the first week. Floorboards were missing; there were defects in the ceiling and drywall. They lied about the number of bedrooms as one area was a passthrough and should not be counted as a bedroom. I could go on ... After living in the house for the first week, I realized I needed to get a post-sale inspection. The post-sale inspection raised additional issues that I was unaware of. The inspector raised 12 urgent issues I needed to resolve ASAP. Shelbie Walsh lied on the documents and stated things like an air conditioner would be left in the house, but it never was. All appliances were expected to be in working order, but the drying machine never worked. I raised these concerns to Fulton Realty and its owner Eric Eickhof (I believe he and Shelbie Walsh worked together on the seller's end as he was listed as representing the seller on Zillow). Eric Eickhof and Nicole Battle came by the house to have a look, and Eric Eickhof berated me after the meeting and told me they would not help resolve any of the issues raised. I called an appliance repair specialist. When they took apart the dryer, they were shocked to see that all of the wires were burnt and recommended that I purchase a new machine. This is just one example; I had to repair multiple appliances throughout the house. As a buyer, I expected to receive representation, but the team at Fulton worked together to put me in the worst possible position by not disclosing important information and encouraging me not to seek an inspection. I would not have purchased the house if I had the information provided in the inspection in advance of closing. Simply put, I overpaid for the house and had to spend tens of thousands of dollars resolving defects and buying new appliances. Besides the financial impact, my mental health plummeted while living in the house. My quality of life and outlook was bleak. Fortunately, I was able to sell the house 11 months later. I'm not sure if it's a lack of experience, negligence, or incompetence, but Fulton Realty is not a company I recommend trusting with one of the most important decisions you'll make.

When I decided to make the move to purchase my own place, I knew that I wanted to work with them. I was matched with Austen Kordosky from their team and he was eager to help me get started. Austen was super friendly, very flexible and always kept my "Must Haves" in mind when showing me properties. He also didn't push back when I sent him listings that I wanted to check out, despite them not being a best fit for me; he allowed me to go through the process and grow through the process. Mid-way through my search I pivoted from wanting a condo to exploring a single family home and Austen eagerly pivoted with me showing me three properties the following morning. He was great about reaching out to me with a regular cadence and suggesting properties for me to tour. One property in particular was one where he was representing the seller and it was not yet on the market officially. When I walked in I was super impressed with the beautiful light of the south facing windows, the gorgeous hardwood floors and 100-year-old woodwork. Despite touring several houses after that, I kept thinking back to the property that would eventually become mine. By having a sneak peak into a pre-listing I was able to take more time with my choice to purchase and avoided the craziness of the spring real estate market. This was something that had plagued me on several prior offer submissions. Had I not been working with Austen I would have never found this gem. The whole Odd Couple Team in general was awesome to work with. The co-owner of the team called me when I started working with Austen and after I purchased my home to congratulate me. Additionally, I received a fun welcome gift from them at my closing that was an awesome surprise! That type of all star service is why you should work with their team. They take great pride in the work that they do and I am so grateful! Thanks Austen and team!

The first, my mother-in-law's Elk River townhome, was listed by The Bandimere Team and sold almost immediately for slightly more than asking price. The second, my father's Woodbury townhome, required some additional maintenance prior to sale, which Rick took care of with no complaint. Again, The Bandimere Team listed and sold the townhome almost immediately and, again, for slightly more than we'd asked. Having been several years since any involvement with real estate transactions, throughout BOTH interactions with The Bandimere Team, my wife and I were thoroughly impressed with the consummate support and professionalism displayed by Rick and his entire team throughout the entire process. So, in summary, TWO listings, TWO sales, BOTH for more than we'd asked. Who could ask for anything more? It is for the reasons above that I would HIGHLY recommend The Bandimere Team if you're thinking of buying OR selling!
