I…read morecannot say enough about what a joy it has been to work with him to find the perfect place for our family. Zach is not only professional, he possesses a keen knowledge of neighborhoods, buildings and trends in an ever-changing real estate market. He has always been honest with us, while not being afraid to share his opinions on properties: making us feel that he only wants the best for us and that we are a constant priority. In the future, we will only work with Zach for any real estate transactions.

We bought our home with Billy virtually across the country. At first we were sure that we wanted to…read morestart looking at houses after we moved to Minnesota. Buying something as expensive and important as a house virtually seemed nuts. But as the new year began we started getting the urge to just take a look. Who knew that within just a few weeks we would have an accepted offer? There is no one else we would have felt comfortable buying remotely with. And the only reason we changed from just looking to seriously buying was because we came to trust and rely on Billy's opinions. He is not just a savvy and knowledgeable realtor, he is truly a sincere and nice guy. He would warn us that even if we lose out on a house, in the end it always works out (and SPOILER ALERT he's right). But he still commiserated with us when we were outbid and he really went above and beyond when we were searching for the right home. And he really does want to find you the right home. He will be honest with you about any negatives he sees and he will steer you away from any bad decisions. Sometimes we were so keen to just get a house that we were willing to settle or make hasty decisions. But Billy makes sure that whatever house you get is a great house and whatever you do is sound and smart. And I'm so glad that he was there with us helping make all our decisions. He would give us daily updates of his endeavors going door to door and networking with other agents. In the end it was a note of his he left on the door of a house that was off the market that did the trick. We were able to buy a house that was miles better than any of the other houses we put offers on with basically no other competition. In the crazy housing market right now you need someone like Billy who is willing to go the extra mile. He was always trying innovative techniques to help us stand out amongst other buyers and that's exactly what it takes these days. He's continued to be invaluable after closing. He was great to bounce ideas around with about updating the house after moving in and he and Heather have been great with recommendations. He is always super responsive and I'm so glad I can still rely on him even after we've closed.

Billy took the time to listen to our needs, ask us about our future plans, and answer every one of our questions. They were in constant communication and made sure that we felt informed and confident in making the best decisions for our family. The combination of integrity, grace, and real estate intelligence in this team is unparalleled. 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!

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.

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!!!

Thank goodness for Bruce! I worked with a couple others initially and it was chaotic and confusing,…read moreI probably would have gave up and not purchased a home at all if it wasn't for Bruce. He had excellent communication through the whole process. He kept me informed and updated weekly, if not daily, even texting from his hunting stand.

He explained every document to me and made sure I understood everything. I love my new home and my payment is slightly less than my rent was (excluding HOA dues)! Highly recommend and I will use him again absolutely! Thank you so much Bruce!

Jim was recommended to us and we couldn't have asked for better service. Jim was wonderful from start to finish! When selling our house, he had pictures taken that made our house look so good, I almost bought it again! We had multiple offers above asking price! When it came to buying our next house, Jim showed us probably close to 100 houses across a wide area. There was absolutely and I mean, absolutely, no pressure to make a decision on our next house. We sometimes went and saw the same house 2-3 times! When we finally found our house, Jim was with us all the way to final signing. Jim was so awesome during the entire experience. He is fun, caring and very casual. We couldn't have asked for anything better! For your next realtor needs, would highly recommend you contact Jim Snaza. You won't regret it.

Great to find Jim on Yelp! I was recently looking at a cross country move and was recommended to…read morehim by friends in the Cities. They said he was great and easy to deal with, but found him to be much more. Initially we spoke on the phone and found him to be very knowledgeable. He knew the market, shared maps and MLS listings with me, and couldn't have been more versatile in beginning research for home buying. When we met on my trip out, he was the real deal. Smart, professional, yet funny and relaxed. We spent some time driving around and looking at houses. With each preference or feature I wanted to see, he knew where to take me and gave me an honest, informative look into the area and properties. I'd consider him a trusted ally in the process and felt like I was spending time with a friend instead of stressing to the max with some commission-hungry pusher. Sadly my reassignment didn't go through, but hoping to move to the Twin Cities soon and know I'll be reaching out to Jim when I do, because he cared about me and made the experience enjoyable. I highly recommend him to those on Yelp!
