In terms of selling, Billy took every step to elevate and position my home above the rest in a competitive yet uncertain market, from staging to photos to pricing to negotiations. 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. There is no other real estate team I would recommend more highly than the Pauling Homes Team! I could not be happier with my experience!

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.

I've had the pleasure of working with Suzanne and I can't recommend her highly enough. What sets…read moreSuzanne apart is her deep knowledge of the real estate industry and her exceptional ability to listen. From our very first meeting, she took the time to truly understand what I was looking for. Throughout the entire process, Suzanne was thoughtful, patient, and always attentive to my needs and concerns. She never pushed or rushed me, and instead offered insightful guidance that was clearly rooted in truly understanding what mattered most to me. If you're looking for an agent who will really listen and put your priorities first, Suzanne is the one you want by your side.

Tasha sold a property for me that hadn't sold the previous year with a different realtor. She made…read morethe property, which had been rental, more appealing by staging it for me and did it so efficiently that we were able to get it on the market quickly and without any hassle for me. I was reassured by her years of experience, her ability to sell properties, her attention to detail and her excellent interpersonal skills. She had lots of good ideas, but also listened to what I had to say. My favorite thing about Tasha is that she is a very positive. I was anxious about what would happen when I put the property on the market AGAIN, but Tasha always said we would get it sold, and we did! She really did go above and beyond what's expected of a realtor. Phyllis W. Minneapolis

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.

MORGAN HAD AN OFFER ON MY CONDO IN 10 DAYS (and the condo…read morewas a piece of work! you should see the before/after pictures from Morgan's staging) I'm beyond impressed with Morgan. I went through a terrible experience with a previous realtor and after 4 months my property didn't have 1 offer so I took it off the market. Many months later, I searched Google and found Morgan after reading a review on here (Yelp) and browsing her website. After reviewing her "buyer/seller guide" (which I highly recommend you ask her for), it literally answered every question I had as a seller. And in my case, I started to question after living in 4 states and working with countless realtors, why this was my first time seeing such a guide? It speaks to Morgan's ability to truly understand her market and clients. I went from no sell after 4 months to hiring Morgan and had an offer in 10 DAYS!!! You can't get any better than that. What I love about Morgan is that she's a straight-shooter. She won't B.S. you and she delivers. She also pays attention to details. I lived out of state from my property so she did all of the legwork for me. My condo needed some work with painting, staging (which I HIGHLY recommend her staging services), and minor maintenance. Her pricing was reasonable, she got it done in a timely manner, and she found ways to save (to the point that she went and actually swapped an item purchased for a less expensive one). She has a great eye for design, and most importantly, she's trustworthy. I can't recommend this woman enough. No shade to male realtors, but my experience personally has been that woman realtors pay more attention to details. I gave Morgan my timeline and budget and she completely exceeded my expectations. I don't even think this review does her justice as I'm beyond thankful for her services. She's phenomenal. If you're in search of a realtor or have a realtor already but you have a hunch they aren't meeting your needs, before you sign any papers, I'd make the switch or at minimum hear what she has to say. You won't regret it. I only wish I'd known of her the first time around.

It took a while for us to find our perfect house but she was incredibly professional, patient, attentive, and fun throughout the experience. I can't imagine working with anyone else!

I was looking for a local Twin Cities area expert to help me buy a home and found much more in Joe. At first I just thought Joe was the best Plymouth realtor, but quickly found out he knew the entire MSP metro. Not only did he know and understand Minneapolis and St. Paul and surrounding areas, his knowledge about home construction was extremely valuable. I highly recommend that home buyers use a realtor that knows homes and construction like Joe, but that also has the time and patience.

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!
