I am so disappointed that I agreed to the guaranteed offer. First of all Opendoor who took the contract for my house is absolutely terrible. my house was in really good shape except for a couple of minor details and they didn't even fix it, right. I have felt a lot of pressure to buy the place I am in. I wish I could go back and do everything over again and it's only been a year since I acquired this place. read more

The guaranteed offer program is a scam, do not waste your time. Their initial offer for our home was 345k. The team called and said they needed to do an exterior inspection (there are no issues with the exterior of the home). After this inspection was completed the Kris Lindahl team stated we would need to pay them 6k to take our home. This experience was a massive waste of time and very disappointing. read more

We were sent an email confirmation and spoke to an agent to confirm our appointment. We waited for 15 minutes. Could not get a hold of anyone at the agency. Called the organize, the main line, the realtor. Finally the organizer, Ashley Roy writes back, "sorry we couldn't figure this one out, not sure what happened." We tried to call her, she would not pick up. Finally got a hold of someone on the main line and though she promised to find out what was going on and call back, she just never called us back. Everyone is super apathetic and useless. Don't waste your time. read more

In my one encounter, they did not come off as very sharp. I called to get a walk through one of the properties they have listed. One of their agents, Anna, texted me and said there was no 'showing time for this evening'. I expressed surprise as the house was cleared of all furniture and personal items. A few texts go back and forth and she admits it is her schedule, not the house's ,that is full this evening. She said she would find an agent that was available to walk me through the house. Then told me an offer was already placed on the house. Ummm: should that not have been the first thing she looked for concerning the property and not waited until 7 texts went back and forth to find this out? read more

I called to check out this "Guaranteed Offer" program. Set up an appointment for one of their realtors to come out, check out my home, and talk about the program. Hours later they called back to reschedule. Fine I guess, but the scheduler set up the appointment with a realtor that was already out of town that day. So that was odd. Then 30 minutes before our new appointment, the realtor emails me to cancel. Emails???? She has my phone number. She could have texted me. But nope, emailed. So I sat there waiting for her for like 40 minutes wondering where she was, because I don't check my emails every 5 minutes. So I wrote the scheduler an email the next morning to tell them I would still be open to meeting a realtor, but I don't want to deal with this realtor. I have been ghosted. Haven't heard from them in 2 days. I guess I don't qualify for the guaranteed offer. read more

I haven't lived in MN for 6 years and out of the blue I get a text spam at 9pm "Hi it's Jacob with the Kris Lindahl Team. You started the process of looking for a new home a while back and I would LOVE to help make that a reality in 2020. What is a good time for me to call and spend 10 minutes discussing your home search with you?" I guess they save all your personal information forever... read more

Stay away from this company. They were on the listing end of a property that we made an offer on. We decided to back out of the deal in plenty of time to receive my Ernest money back. They resold the property asap and the property has even gone PENDING and we still have not received a check. When our agent calls it's nothing but lies that the check was sent out on Thursday, then it's on Tuesday. When I've called to speak to the broker and left my number, no returned call. They really should be reported to the Commerce Department as the Minnesota Board of Realtors is another joke. read more

Scammers. My 1st impression is that they make their money off people who wouldn't know any better. I'll give them credit though.. they must train their people continuously for everyone all to get on that same cheisty page. Literally every listing they have on their site is pending or contingent.. All you have to do is cross reference the address. No need to give them all your info. so they can just turn around and try to close you as a client. If you have a realtor already.. well, stand in line because you are now not a priority. If you are listing with them, be ware. They may be playing puppet to thier advantage. Just saying. read more

The Kris Lindahl team has been fantastic the entire time we've worked with them. Kris himself is one of the most generous people I know, he gives back to the community and his staff and it shows! read more

I did not have a good experience. They do not put the client first. My agent was unresponsive, did nothing to help me find a new home, but was very quick to sell my house and take the commission which was highway robbery in my opinion. Keep looking. read more

Horrible experience as a 1st time home buyer. Kris Lindahl team matched me with Lisa Olien after I sent in a request on their website. She was not helpful on figuring out anything about the seller, the home quality, or the value of the homes. Bad communication. Especially when trying to make offers. I do not recommend as a buyer. read more

I filled out a form online for their guaranteed offer and never got any type of response from them. I keep hearing ads on the radio for this program and realize how insincere and unprofessional Kris Lindahl is. All hype. read more

Found a Zillow/Kris Lindahl owned house that we fell in love with. Worked to fill out all of the required paperwork and put in an offer! They came back via email and indicated they don't accept offers with contingencies, even though that wasn't listed as a requirement. So, we find a buyer and have our house under contract and re-offer. They only came down 3 thousand dollars even though the listing has been up for months and refuse to call back so we can ask questions. Don't buy from these jokers! Unless you want to be trapped in an email text loop and never get a human. They even forced us to use their title company, which is generally not allowed and huge conflict of interest. We unfortunately went through the inspection process since they indicated and shared a list of items that can be addressed during the inspection phase. We learned through sheer luck of hiring the same company that work had been done on the house (by the Kris Lindahl/Zillow team) that they never disclosed to us. There ended up being lots of damage and issues with the house, most things we were even willing to live with and deal with on our own time and dollar. We had a list of life safety items that we countered Kris Lindahl with, he wasn't even willing to address items including unsafe outlets, improperly grounded electrical all over the house, mold, and other fire hazards. We understand cosmetic and aging items aren't within their scope but when we were unable to get a reasonable response on safety hazards and we unfortunately had to walk away. BUYER BEWARE! If you look at any of his properties be prepared to pay full asking and fix any problems the house has even if it puts your family's health and safety at risk. Every step working with both Kris Lindahl and Zillow was an absolute nightmare. They treat their potential customers horribly, don't disclose valuable information, force their own companies on you, and don't value your time or safety, if I could give a lower rating I would. read more

Agent came to my house re the Guaranteed Offer program, and stated "you qualify for the program or else I wouldn't be here." We didn't qualify for the program. The stupidity is breathtaking to behold. Avoid. read more

Guy sends spam emails with no opt out and the info is very generic. Guy that cold called me I don't think could spell his own name. Knew nothing about the local market. I don't know them or him personally but my impression is a lot of fake hype and anyone who plants their face on large billboards may be a touch egotistical! read more

I filled out an online form on Monday, 10/1/18. I received a text from Kris and a second from another person who asked the best time to contact me. I was told to "keep my phone line open after 5 pm" that Monday and an agent would call. I never received a call. I texted them on Tuesday, but never heard back. No call Tuesday evening from an agent. Prompt communication can make or break a home deal, so this was a strong indicator that I need to work with a different agency. read more

I've been trying to get ahold of these guys for a week to get info on the guaranteed offer program. No one ever returns my calls or my text messages. I would think that a guy who spends that much on advertising would at least follow up on the leads that that advertising money brings in. This guy is a clown, and i'm pretty sure that the guaranteed offer program is a joke too. This guy should call his company clown realty. read more

I just returned from touring a Kris Lindahl listing. We were greeted by two aggressive dogs who barked at us during the entire tour. There was dog feces covering one of the bedroom floors. Even without the feces and the noise, the home was a disaster. Described as an Oasis, it was clearly a tear down. The fact that a real estate agent would have such disregard for those visiting there listing is beyond unprofessional; it is rude. read more

STAY AWAY!!!! It's kind of creepy when you go online and fill out the paperwork to start the process and suddenly you receive a video on your phone from some team member talking to you about how you will be contacted shortly by some other team member. "Guaranteed Offer" is a JOKE. Anyone who sells himself and his "team" as reputable real estate agents - yet leaves out the fact that he is associated with Zillow - is starting the whole process in a dishonest way. Agent came to our elderly Aunt's house to give her a guaranteed offer. Two days later we were told her house did not "fit Zillow's profile". No offer was made. Met with a competing guaranteed offer company Homestead Row and received an offer $20k above what our elderly Aunt was looking for. She can literally take what she wants and leave what she doesn't. Everything will be taken care of with no additional costs. Trust me, stay away from Kris Lindahl and the scam of it all. read more

Fundamentally, he misunderstood the market for my type of home, and gave me what turned out to be poor advice on timing and price, leaving money on the table. My buyer got quite a bargain. He told me the market was turning down, when in fact it was turning up. He is not personally available to his clients - after the initial meeting you have to go through an assistant for most things, who is very transaction oriented, not really a full-service realtor in the traditional sense. I very much felt that he just wanted to dump the house as quickly as possible. I felt basically on my own through the entire process. read more
