We had another realtor that we got to know very well... and that's not a good sign because that…read moremeant that we hadn't found a house yet! And hence, how we got to Steve. We didn't get to know Steve very well, but that's because we found a house in about a month! This guy is goooood - professional, knowledgeable, and has experience in homes. He used to flip homes, so he knows if something is of good quality/craftmanship. And that was really important to us knowing how many homes in this market are flipped poorly (we watched too much Holmes Inspection). He also works like a mad man! We received responses from him at 11... at night. He would call us, check in on us, follow up... the works! Our favorite part of Steve, though, was that he never said, "ooooh, offer full price or else you won't get the house." He was on our side. He wasn't afraid to let us put in a fair offer. He was... awesome. I definitely would recommend Steve in a heartbeat... or in a door knock (heh heh heh).

Steve is outstanding. He's professional, incredibly accessible, and also genuinely caring. From…read morethe moment we first sat down with him, to the market research, to the listing, to the sale, we felt that we were his number one priority. You couldn't ask for a more supportive realtor! Despite listing in a so-so market (we were relocating for work), Steve had the knowledge and experience to get the best possible result for us. (Heck, we sold the house in four days - and for the best price we could have imagined!) We would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Steve Casalenda to sell your house. (Or to help you buy your house). Also, he's really one heck of a nice guy, a St. Paul native, involved with the community.

WARNING!!!!!! Brian…read moreWeedman is one of the worst landlords EVER! DO NOT RENT FROM HIM OR BUY FROM HIM! EVER! He is the definition of a slumlord, has threaten to kick me out multiple times without warning due to no fault of my own, only to change his mind at the last second. (Continuous emotional distress) During my time there he was the least accommodating slumlord I've ever witnessed, never followed up on repairs, when construction was being done he wouldn't provide you warning when people would be entering and even when they did show up they never did what I had requested. Ex, fix the heat during the winter or loud construction during working hours. He even raised rent on me for no reason while I was renting from him while I always paid on time and never missed a month. After the 3rd time he threatened to kick me out-he asked if I would like to stay and continue to rent of which I refused and left. After finally feeling relieved and free from his abusive grasp, tax time came around. I asked for copies of my CRP (certificate of rent paid) of which he requested $25 per copy, of which is highly illegal and I had to address my lawyer of which they confirmed what he is doing is highly illegal! DO NOT RENT OR BUY FROM THIS SLUMLORD! He is by far one of the worst examples of what it is to be a quality landlord, not to mention quality human. STAY FAR AWAY! After requesting my CRPs for the final time his last response to me was: "were done here"

We have worked with Brian for several years now, in multiple capacities. As a realtor, he is…read moreexcellent. He has a vast knowledge of "house internals" and can spot areas of concern even if there isn't an obvious issue. He understands how the market works, and knows how to play within it. He doesn't over- or under-sell, but also does provide whatever input and opinions you need when trying to decide about making offers. In our case we decided to rent instead of buy, and he helped us find our current rental home. As the manager of our rental, he is beyond amazing. His average response time to any questions or issues is probably about 3-5 minutes, and if there is ever anything which requires maintenance he stays on top of the issue even past the time when it gets fixed... and makes sure it does get fixed in a timely manner. He is also able to come up with creative solutions to issues when they become especially sticky. He is helpful, courteous, professional, and sensitive... and obviously cares about the well-being of his tenants. All in all, we would recommend Brian to anyone who has any situation involving real estate or rental properties!

Adrian Realty was wonderful to work with! I used Joe to both sell and purchase a new home. As a…read morereal estate guru, Joe is very good at what he does and it was a pleasure working with him. His knowledge, professionalism, and patience made the decision-making and transaction of buying my new home a very smooth and informed one. If I had a question, he'd carefully explain the answer in details to me, and in the rare instance he didn't know, he'd do the research and get back to me. In working with him, it's clear he brings a lot of knowledge to the table about market home values, purchase prices, costs of repairs and renovation, and the buyer and seller. Joe made buying and selling a really pleasant and good experience, in taking on all the heavy work out of the process to make face time with him easy and enjoyable. It's definitely the case that Adrian Realty goes the extra mile to make sure all the boxes are checked and to secure the deal. I'd recommend Joe to a friend for real estate any day!

My wife and I have bought 2 properties with Mike as our realtor in the past 2 years. He has been…read morevery easy to work with and very helpful. He has very good knowledge of the south Mpls neighborhoods we were looking in, and is very good with the numbers. Mike set up many showings each time we were looking for a property even though our deals were not that big. He worked hard to get the deals done when we had decided what we wanted but was never pushy about trying to get us to put in an offer on a certain property. I would never consider using another realtor than Mike Little.

In May 2015, my husband and I decided we were ready to purchase our first home. We were…read morepre-approved for a mortgage and found several realtor options through our bank. When we met Randy for coffee to discuss what we were looking for, our personalities clicked and we could tell he was an honest and genuine person who would work hard to find us what we wanted. He also took the time to really explain everything to us, which was super helpful because we had zero experience with the home-buying process. We decided to not bother meeting with the other two realtors, he was our guy! Randy was always willing to go out and look at houses with us, even if it was a last minute decision on our part, because the house was just listed and we wanted to be the first to see it and make an offer. He responded quickly to phone calls and emails and although our budget was small, we always felt like we were his only clients. He also had snacks, water, and pop to keep our energy up when we looked at houses. The little extras like that made working with him extra fun. But most importantly, he was knowledgable in the market and made sure we were looking at the right houses and writing competitive offers. We ended up with a perfect starter home with almost an acre lot! We are thrilled and will definitely be recommending him to everyone we know.

Detail Oriented and Long Term Mindset…read more Tim is the most wonderful realtor to work with. He is trustworthy, has expertise, and was looking out for us throughout the process!!! My partner and I are first time homebuyers, and were also living out of state and across the country when we first contacted Tim. We chose him because he was very good with technology that allowed us to look while not physically present. Tim continued to impress with his virtual home review videos and his expert eye to see the costly flaws in a house. He was always available and eager to help! He also helped us through complex circumstances of home buying. There were a few external mishaps and Tim helped us pivot and come up with a strategy for next steps. We extended multiple offers and he made sure we weren't overpaying for anything through back and forth bartering. Some sellers didn't want to work with us or convey the full details of the house and he cut through the unwritten rules of real estate and held other realtors accountable. Tim was very knowledgeable from a contracting perspective too. He had estimated costs for repairs and a great eye to spot flaws in any house. He has a contact list for every repair under the sun and was able to get quotes quickly during the inspection period. Which saved us after a house came back with a terrible inspection! Our home buying process was complex since we initially wanted an investment property then transitioned to making it a primary residence. Tim was very patient with us. I never felt pressure to buy a house I didn't like, or extend an offer higher than I felt comfortable with. He was on our side for the 10 months we spent looking. He also responded very quickly and we were able to extend offers on a quick turnaround which is very important. We got a house we love and we will continue to use Tim for EVERYTHING real estate related!!!

Excellent advice and guidance through selling process. Tim is an excellent realtor and made the…read morehouse selling process as straightforward and successful as possible. He helped us buy and sell, but this review is focused on the sale of our house. This was our first time selling a house, and we were dreading the process, especially the preparations and the evaluation of (hopefully) multiple offers. Once we started the sale process, Tim walked us through all the what-if scenarios of the entire process, including prep, pre-inspection, listing, and talking through the key details that we'd look for in each offer. He suggested that we do a pre-inspection of the house, which initially seemed odd, but after discussing it a bit we thought it was a good idea. And it turns out it was a great idea, as it really enabled buyers to have confidence in the quality and lack-of-surprises in the home, enabling them to write higher offers and/or waive their inspection period. Our house received multiple offers above list price, including some with waived inspections, and we believe that was due to Tim's great suggestion to do a pre-inspection. Overall we had a good time working with Tim, he was very professional and is a reliable communicator.
