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.

Do not get yourself into anything with them. They will take your money and then do nothing for you as a renter.

Then, they cancel maintenance requests, request to come into your house without 24 hours notice, and leave you with a hole in your ceiling/sewage in your basement/no snow removal until you finally take them to court. They can say hi to Satan when they burn in hell. Do not sign the lease.

Yet, 6 months later I'm still having problems with them and they're the reason why I'm leaving the apartment, even though I considered staying because the apartment itself is amazing. There's a mold problem in my apartment and all they seemed to have done to treat it was paint over it the day of my move in. Now that it's hot and humid, it smells like decomposing corpse. They sure are taking your money, but they don't do jack all to support you as a housing company. Don't rent from this scummy company. I'm sure I'll have to fight them for any of my security deposit back, though I'll leave it better than I got it.

Living in St Paul for sometime, I was familiar with the Odd Couple Team and appreciated all of the…read morecommunity involvement that their team embodies. When I decided to make the move to purchase my own place, I knew that I wanted to work with them. I was matched with Austen Kordosky from their team and he was eager to help me get started. Austen was super friendly, very flexible and always kept my "Must Haves" in mind when showing me properties. He also didn't push back when I sent him listings that I wanted to check out, despite them not being a best fit for me; he allowed me to go through the process and grow through the process. Mid-way through my search I pivoted from wanting a condo to exploring a single family home and Austen eagerly pivoted with me showing me three properties the following morning. He was great about reaching out to me with a regular cadence and suggesting properties for me to tour. One property in particular was one where he was representing the seller and it was not yet on the market officially. When I walked in I was super impressed with the beautiful light of the south facing windows, the gorgeous hardwood floors and 100-year-old woodwork. Despite touring several houses after that, I kept thinking back to the property that would eventually become mine. By having a sneak peak into a pre-listing I was able to take more time with my choice to purchase and avoided the craziness of the spring real estate market. This was something that had plagued me on several prior offer submissions. Had I not been working with Austen I would have never found this gem. The whole Odd Couple Team in general was awesome to work with. The co-owner of the team called me when I started working with Austen and after I purchased my home to congratulate me. Additionally, I received a fun welcome gift from them at my closing that was an awesome surprise! That type of all star service is why you should work with their team. They take great pride in the work that they do and I am so grateful! Thanks Austen and team!

At times our selling journey felt like a long, epic, arduous journey, but hiccups happen and the ones that did were beyond everyone's control. We wouldn't change a thing.
