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.

We highly recommend this amazing team

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!

After another local agency failed miserably to sell our condo, Stieg was a breath of fresh air. He…read moreis really warm, personable, and fun in an authentic way.

He also communicated the status of the all important final walk through and closing in a timely manner so that we knew all was successful. Not only did my wife and I get an exceptional agent when we hired Stieg, we got a great new friend.

One thing I really appreciate about Stieg is his honesty. We looked at one house (via FaceTime) that had a very weird floor plan and unthoughtful addition. After the tour, Stieg told me he didn't want to sell me that house since the odd layout would always detract from the value. He is also very responsive, and he has a great list of contacts for inspections, repairs etc. I am definitely very happy with everything Stieg did to help me!

Recommendation for Zac Bidelman/Keller Williams Preferred Realtor/Huerkamp Home Group…read more I first met Zac Bildelman after inquiring about a property that I was interested in. He made an appointment and showed me the property that same day. My first impression was that he was knowledgeable and able to answer my questions readily. I realized over time that because of all his additional attributes (Professional, always responsive, and very patient), he was the perfect realtor. It had been over 30 years since my husband, and I had previously scoured the cities in search of that one perfect realtor to help us find the house that was perfect for us at that time. Zac Bidelman patiently spent at least two years showing me various properties. He quickly fine-tuned the amenities that I was in search of until it basically came down to 3 or 4 properties. Once the perfect location came on the market, he helped me create an offer that he presented immediately. His quick action was the sole reason that I was able to buy the property that was perfectly suited to me. The second phase of my quest was to subsequently sell my house. During that process Zac assisted me with the preparations of getting the house we built 33 years prior ready for sale. His company hired an inspector and then advised me how to prioritize what to repair from the inspector's list. Zac had a "Stager" available to me who helped me get the house aesthetically ready to be viewed. The professional photographer that he used took exceptional photographs that helped present my house in the best possible light. This also included drone shots which helped highlight the fabulous view from and around my home. Regarding setting the sales price of my house, he listened to my input of what I felt the price should be set at - given that I knew my property and adjacent locations so well after living in the house for over three decades. Because of his skills as a realtor, my home sold in one day. For any and all of the above-stated reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend Zac Bidelman and his very accomplished assistants and team. Zac's contact info is as follows: (612) 712-9936 zac@hhgus.com

Beth was the only one who responded and responded quickly. Consequently, she became my realtor. What a stroke of luck! Beth is extremely knowledgeable and a joy to work with. She has an excellent understanding of the local and national real estate markets. She kept me informed of everything that was happening, and responded very quickly to every email, text and phone call. I was an out-of-state buyer & relied completely on Beth's guidance, expertise, professionalism and ability to make it happen. Being an out-of-state buyer could have been a long, challenging process. Nope! Beth listened, researched, prepared, negotiated and delivered. It was a seamless, stress free process from beginning to end. I am the proud owner of a beautiful home (more that I hoped for) in my desired location, within my price guidelines, and my extremely limited time frame. The entire process from my first email to Beth to closing took a mere 21 days. Impressive! If you are looking for an exceptional realtor, look no further. Contact Beth Petersen! You'll be glad you did. Not only did Beth provide exceptional service with the entire home buying process, she also provided personal references for needed resources: lawn service, handyman, pest control, painter etc. Beth also graciously provided design tips and current trends. Thank you Beth & the Welu Home Team for all that you've done for my family and myself. You are amazing!

We bought our house at the peak of the housing bubble, and when it came time to sell, the whole…read moreprocess was even more stressful then one might normally expect because 1) the bubble had burst, and 2) we found out we had a "mold house" which was typical of the style, time, and location where it was built. Between the market loss on the value of our house and the $82,000 cost (!) to get the mold remediation and reconstruction done, I was really freaking out about how much we were going to lose on the sale of the house. We started off using my stepdaughter's then-fiancé as our realtor, and it was a disaster. He was uncomfortable with how I stressed I was and was afraid to tell me anything he thought I might get more upset about, so he didn't do his job -- which was to tell us the truth about what he had to do to get our house sold. At one point we suddenly started getting solicitation letters from realtors, which I assumed had to be unethical because we already had one... Or so we thought. We found out we had fallen through the cracks and he had orgotten to renew our agreement, so we found out from other realtors that we were no longer represented and the house was no longer listed. When we signed on with the Barkleys we found out that some things our former realtor was doing or trying to do were unethical or illegal, and we knew that we could trust them to do it right. They weren't daunted by my extremely high stress level, they told us the truth about what had to be done to sell our house, and they got the job done in a relatively painless and quick time frame. Not only were they honest, they clearly knew what they were doing, and they were all absolutely lovely to work with. If we hadn't moved across the country I wouldn't hesitate to have them help sell our current house when the time comes for us to move into a senior facility.

Genuine professionals that could really understand the home we wanted and the type of community we wanted to establish our family in. We were your typical first-time home buyers: we were in search of our dream home and didn't want to settle for anything less. Finding knowledgeable and trustworthy realtors that were really going to listen to our needs and wants was a priority to us, and we didn't have to look far to hear about the Barkleys and their stellar reputation. Our experience working with the Barkleys was superb. Not only were they extremely professional and informative, but they made the home search process fun for us. They met all of our scheduling needs and were very timely with following up and addressing any questions or concerns that we had. We came to not only value their input, but trust them as realtors and even friends. I am happy to say that we did find our dream home with the Barkleys, and we couldn't be happier!
