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.

They just all seem to lack compassion, pride, and service. All they ever really cared about was collecting money and avoiding repair and maintenance calls or emails till they couldn't dodge the issue. Last year when I was relocating from Los Angeles to Minneapolis I only had two days to find an apartment. I was being rejected from all of them because I didn't have a 730 credit score due to some student loans and medical bills. When I was about to give up and go back to Cali I got a call from Tom Stutsman wondering if I was still looking for an apartment? I told him "yes!I was", but I told him my credit is a work in progress and not high... He said let me guess "Student Loans and Medical Bills"?I said "Yes"! and he told me he didn't care about that stuff and as long as I'm a nice person that's all he looks for... next day I looked at the apartment. I ended up dropping the deposit the next day and had the lease signed before I Flew back to Los Angeles. It all happened so fast and easy. Tom even had the lights turned on for me in my name when I arrived. Any time I had a repair issue, even emailing him late at night they would be taking care of it first thing in the morning. Tom's work ethic is unprecedented and within minutes of talking to him you can tell he radiates a passion for what he does. If I'm ever back in Minneapolis the only person I will call is Tom Strutsman. Thanks Tom for all that you do!

Jen from Birchwood Blue Homes helped me refresh the livingroom in my older home in late 2018. My…read morefurniture was totally worn out, having suffered the effects of years of being jumped and spilled on by my kids. But I never seemed to have the time or energy to replace it myself--I was paralyzed by the idea of wanting to change so much but not having any idea how to make it all work together. Jen put me at ease right away when she walked into my house. She has such a positive and thoughtful vibe...she is totally in tune with her clients' thoughts and feelings. She began by having me collect images of decor that I like--not specific pieces (that would have overwhelmed me) but images to give her a sense of what I wanted my new livingroom to be like. We then decided on a key piece-- a beautiful rug that she found on sale-- and built the rest of the decor from there. She has a great eye for style and is attentive to budget; she is excellent at presenting options of various costs and explaining what you get for each level of spending. She's so good that she transformed what was once a paralyzing situation into a fun experience! And the entire family loves our new livingroom. It is comfortable, practical, and beautiful at the same time! So totally worth it. During the time Jen was working with me, she happened to be remodeling and refreshing a home in my neighborhood, preparing it to sell. I stopped by to check it out. Amazing. She took a challenging and needy space and made it shine, move-in ready. I was super impressed with how fast she did such high quality work. That home sold quickly for a price that made her client very happy. Very rare is Jen's combination of attention to detail, huge people skills, strong financial sense, and style. I highly recommend her for selling, staging, organizing, or refreshing your home.

Jenny stepped in and worked magic! She helped me clean up my mess, organize my stuff, and finally get rid of that storage container that hung like a 20ft metal albatross around my neck for over 10 years. Jenny's style is all about positivity and persistence - a lifesaver for a curmudgeonly slacker like me. Change is hard for some of us, but Jenny is a gentle and effective change agent. If you're ready to get organized and make positive changes in your life, Jenny will work wonders with you." -Adam C.

Paul's vast knowledge of the real estate market, including Victoria was quite impressive and made…read moreus feel that we were in good hands. Also his organization skills and attention to detail were exceptional and something we look for in our real estate professional. He also provided a game plan (professional photos, stager, pre-inspection, etc.) for selling our home and getting the best price. We were lucky enough to sell our house before it went on the market, even without the photos or stager but this is also where Paul excels in his field. He has contacts with his silent seller program and brought us a perspective buyer who bought our home on the spot. He also helped us in our home search and was always "thinking outside the box" in order to find every option available. In the end we decided to build since that provided everything we were looking for in our next home, but Paul added a service there too. With his knowledge of future developments, we had known about this upcoming development a year before it began and were able to watch it and get in to our dream home right away in the building process, which also in turn saved us money. I can't say enough good things about working with Paul Aspelin. You will not be disappointed!
