After many years of talking with Richard we were finally ready to sell our home in Stillwater…read more Richard was Fantastic and did an amazing job, we trusted in his experience, and he did not disappoint. I only wish we could have him helps us buy our new home in another state.

This is the place to bank at. First off, the service you get from the bankers at Lake Elmo Bank is…read moreunparalleled. If I were to walk into one of the big name banks, I would not be able to do what I can here. Secondly, the bankers are very knowledgeable, and respond to emails and calls very quickly, unlike other banks I have worked with, that have me waiting days and days for a response. Thirdly, I love how this bank has a great online banking system, just like all the big banks do; but while maintaining a small bank-client relationship. I also wanted to give a huge thank you to both Jesse H and Eric from Commercial Lending; who have helped set me up with the proper loans to help my business grow. Thanks guys!

I'm struggling with my bank satisfaction right now. Used to really like the personalized, friendly…read moreservice, no fees, etc. but while out of town recently I had an experience that turned me off. Some asshat stole my purse and I immediately notified all my card companies. Visa, Amex immediately overnighted replacements to the hotel, no charge. My primary debit card is through Lake Elmo - they took the longest and charged me a fee. Grrrrrr. Maybe I'm being unreasonable but it ticked me off and I want to move on to a bank who will love me a little. Any suggestions....send 'em my way.

We had the pleasure to sell our home in Saint Paul and purchase a home in Wisconsin with Stephanie…read moreReineck and Richard McDonough. To say we are happy would be an understatement. Stephanie helped us find the perfect home. Stephanie always made us feel like we were her only client, available any time there was a house to look at. She suggested we look at the area in Wisconsin across from downtown Stillwater, with the new bridge it made sense. In selling our home, Stephanie was always available for showings, open houses, and our many questions. Stephanie and Richard are very knowledgeable about their industry, the real estate differences between the two states, and how to market our home. Stephanie eased us through the many steps needed to sell and buy a home: truth & housing, mortgage certification, home inspection, radon testing and radon mitigation systems, well certification, septic inspection, title company,......the list seems endless. We were in great hands.

We started working with Stephanie a month before moving to the Twin Cities and she was able to help…read morenarrow the search before we moved. She really understood what we were looking for and worked hard to check homes even when we couldn't be there. She is really motivated to help and take the client through the step by step process. When we need help updating the house after the sale she was still there to assist. I would say after buying three homes, she has been one of the most honest and detailed agents we have worked with. She knows the business of real estate and truly has the clients best interest at heart.
