We can't say enough about Billy Pauling and Mike Taylor of Pauling Homes. They were able to sell…read moreour home in the dead of winter in two weeks. They also found our new home so that we could co-ordinate our closings. We were leaving our home of 45 years with all its memories so the transition was a little painful. But Billy and Mike made this experience so much better. We felt that they had our backs every step of the way. They were patient and understanding through the whole process. We highly recommend this amazing team

We worked with Billy and the Pauling Homes Team to buy and sell a house in Eden Prairie. Everything…read moreabout the experience was superb! Billy took the time to listen to our needs, ask us about our future plans, and answer every one of our questions. They were in constant communication and made sure that we felt informed and confident in making the best decisions for our family. The combination of integrity, grace, and real estate intelligence in this team is unparalleled. This paired with Billy's deep knowledge and network in the Minnesota real estate community made for the dream team! We felt cared for (and about) at every turn. The entire experience was a joy!

Cari Ann, Pamala and her team were fantastic with the sale of our house in the MacGrove…read moreneighborhood. 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!!

Unresponsive, unprofessional, and a down right mess...funny part they were the sellers agent for…read morethe house I bought. I will preface this with I move a lot for work, every 18 months or so I am relocated, so this is my 6th move in 8 years. I have worked directly with many different companies across the US and I would say that by far bridge realty is the worst realtor. My agent for the home I just purchased is with Edina and throughout the process bridge has been none responsive, and damn near impossible to work with. Right now on yelp they have 5 stars, interesting considering they have a closed account with 1 star (attached). Avoid them and go with Someone that actually cares about the client and the sale rather than a weekend realtor who could care less and wants a paycheck.

Bridge Realty are scam artists! They align with crooked home inspectors who fake inspection…read morereports, do intrusive inspections in violation of contracts, damage home seller property and appliances, all to pilfer and grift a favorable bid for your home, at the expense of YOUR hard earned equity. Bridge Realty real estate agents and their inspection partners purposely damage home seller property then request offers well under asking price as a fault of damage they directly cause to home seller properties during unsupervised showings. If you are selling your home and a buyer is represented by Bridge Realty, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HOME UNSUPERVISED DURING SHOWINGS. Not to them or ANY inspector they assign should be left unattended in your home. They are unethical and illegal as damaging home seller property to reduce an asking price is flat out illegal. Beware Bridge Realty at all costs!

Living in St Paul for sometime, I was familiar with the Odd Couple Team and appreciated all of the…read morecommunity involvement that their team embodies. 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!

SOLD! That was the…read moremost important word that we wanted to see during our time spent with the Odd Couple Team. My only regret? Not partnering with them sooner. These guys deliver and go above and beyond the typical level of customer service. We ended up feeling like family. Such a great feeling to know we were with people that would get the job done. At times our selling journey felt like a long, epic, arduous journey, but hiccups happen and the ones that did were beyond everyone's control. We wouldn't change a thing. We have to thank my parents for referring Jason to us. What an excellent referral it was. Jason Koenig and his entire team were amazing from start to finish. Pros: -Marketing and communication. Amy M- what a bright, cheerful, encouraging communicator. -Picturesque photos- Nina- fabulous photos that say, " I want to live here". We received many compliments on the photos. -Transaction and Closing- Molly and Marjorie- excellent and helpful communications, helpful info. -Real Estate Agent- Jason Koenig- reliable, caring, excellent communications, friendly, charming, fun, professional and an overall great guy! -ShowTime App- to confirm or deny showings -E- Signatures- convenient and reliable for signing documents Closing Title Company- Brittany- what a sweet, thorough and lovely person. - Real Estate Agent (Buying) - Ryan. Always there ready to show us what we might be interested. -Clean, tasteful branding. Cons: Can't think of any... These guys do so much for their clients and make everyone feel like more than a client. I would and have recommended them to family and friends who want to list, buy or receive guidance. Okay, I'll wrap it up- this isn't the Oscars..... Oh, but wait.... Fabulous client events and parties thrown by Jason and Shane Client Appreciation Halloween Events Santa Events and so much more..... These guys are truly the real deal. Smart, perceptive, class acts. We have nothing but praise and thanks to this entire team. Thank you so much to the entire team! You guys and gals are the best in St. Paul and that's why you made the list..

Gittleman recently hired a team of plumbers in house to help with homeowner work…read more I have found them exceptionally skilled and easy to work with. I've used them for my own condo as well as for my clients whose properties I oversee. GMC manages most of the properties in downtown Minneapolis and I think they are the best in their field. They excel at handling complicated and troublesome challenges such as construction defects and long term budgeting. I have always found their handling of day to day issues such as billing and Re-Sale disclosures to be handled better than any other management firm. As a Realtor I am exposed to several management companies, so I have some experience here.

I've experienced repeated problems at this property, especially with parking…read more The same cars continually occupy the visitor spots for long periods of time, and management does nothing to enforce their own rules. It makes it difficult for actual guests to visit and shows a real lack of oversight. After reading through many of the other reviews, it's clear my experience isn't isolated. There's a pattern of poor communication, unresolved complaints, and general neglect from the management company. At this point, I will be contacting legal counsel regarding the ongoing issues and the management's failure to address them. If you're considering moving anywhere with this company, I strongly recommend reading the recent reviews before making a decision.

Six years ago I hired REI Property Management to manage a residential property for my client. REI…read moremanaged the property, and kept it rented with quality tenants for the entire 6 years, until it was sold. I found them to be outstanding. Dan Schultz, my contact person at REI, returned my calls promptly, screened tenants, collected rent, made repairs (economically), provided reports, and handled the property as though it was his own. The office staff and the owner (Steve) are meticulous in keeping the records, leases, checklists and paperwork in order. Additionally, REI always treated the tenant fairly and kept the Landlord -Tenant relationship cordial. I have dealt with many property management companies over 30 years in my practice and REI is the only one that I would write an excellent review for. Michael C.
