He had me waiting to see if I was approved for a mortgage loan for almost a month ... and he still wouldn't return my phone calls or emails, or let me know if I was approved for the loan or not. Do yourself a favor and go with a national mortgage company like Better Mortgage. They had an answer for me the same day I applied and they were unbelievably professional and helpful.

Brady and the First Class Mortgage staff provided a PHENOMENAL experience for us from day 1. This…read morewas the second time we've refinanced and it has been the best experience we've ever had. We had a great 30-year rate already, but we wanted to take advantage of the low rates. I called and checked online with 7 different mortgage companies and I'm so thankful we chose First Class Mortgage. Not only did they offer the best rate and lowest closing costs of the other companies, but they offered assurance that if the loan process took longer than expected (which is common with the low interest rates right now), they would take care of it and we wouldn't have to pay extra to continue locking in the rate. This was something none of the other companies were willing to do. Thankfully, their team processed our loan as quickly as possible. They made the process so very simple; we were able to do everything except the closing (which was also perfect) in person. They were clear about everything from the beginning and answered every question we had. They communicated with us every step of the way so that there were no surprises. To top it all off, despite telling us our rate would be locked in and couldn't be reduced, their team was able to get our rate down from 2.375% to 2.25%! WOW! Thanks to them, we are paying almost the same monthly amount...but will pay it off 7 years earlier! We are incredibly grateful for everything they have done. Thank you to Brady, Lisa, Nate, and Austin for a FIRST CLASS experience in every possible way. We are very excited about the money we'll save over the next 15 years. :)

We had a great experience with The Lisa Wells Team! It was our first mortgage, so we had a lot to…read morelearn. When starting out, we got pre-approval from 5+ lenders. We compared them all, and what stood out to us about the Lisa Wells team was: - It's a team - so while you do work with a few different people during the process, there's always someone available to talk to you. - They offer a $5,000 closing guarantee which we think helped us stand out as reliable buyers in this market. - They provide real estate reports, newsletters, and interactive home-buying dashboards to help you better understand the process. When the time came to put an offer in, the team was there to act quickly. And when our offer was accepted, the communication we received about each step to getting to the closing table was great. It was especially exceptional to work with Kario and Jennie during the process, and our initial chat with Lisa Wells was great as well. They made sure we got what we needed to get done during a very quick close. We may have been able to get a bit of a better rate with another team, and we did have some communication hiccups with a member of the team, but overall we had a great experience - especially as first time homebuyers. To top it all off, the team sent us a moving in care package with some helpful goodies, plus treated us to pizza to celebrate our closing!

Selling our home in…read moreMinneapolis could have been stressful, but he made the entire process seamless and even enjoyable. From the very first consultation, Eric provided expert guidance on pricing, staging, and marketing our property. Our home was beautifully showcased online and in person, attracting multiple offers in just a few days! Eric's knowledge of the Minneapolis market, attention to detail, and responsive communication made us feel supported every step of the way. What truly sets Eric apart is his dedication to clients. He went above and beyond to ensure that everything, from showings to negotiations, went smoothly, always keeping our best interests in mind. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would recommend Eric Eickhof to anyone looking to sell their home in Minneapolis. If you want a real estate agent who is professional, approachable, and results-driven, look no further!

Fulton Realty is an untrustworthy company from the top down. They will take advantage of you as a…read morebuyer if given the opportunity. I worked with Nicole Battle as my realtor. She showed me one house that she highly recommended as her coworker was the person who renovated it and was selling it. It turns out it was a flip, and Shelbie Walsh did the renovations herself with the help of a handyman. It must have been Shelbie Walsh's first flip because nothing was done correctly. Throughout the buying process, Nicole Battle strongly encouraged me not to get an inspection because she was confident Shelbie Walsh did a great job rehabbing the house. I trusted Nicole Battle and Fulton Realty and felt that since they all worked together, they had my best interest in mind and understood that I was looking for an investment property to grow my portfolio. Nicole Battle and I never had a meeting to review the paperwork; I had to do this myself as an inexperienced buyer. After I closed, I noticed countless things wrong with the house. Shelbie Walsh did not install lighting fixtures and appliances correctly. Electrical hazards were apparent throughout the house and basement. The first-floor bathroom flooded within the first week. Floorboards were missing; there were defects in the ceiling and drywall. They lied about the number of bedrooms as one area was a passthrough and should not be counted as a bedroom. I could go on ... After living in the house for the first week, I realized I needed to get a post-sale inspection. The post-sale inspection raised additional issues that I was unaware of. The inspector raised 12 urgent issues I needed to resolve ASAP. Shelbie Walsh lied on the documents and stated things like an air conditioner would be left in the house, but it never was. All appliances were expected to be in working order, but the drying machine never worked. I raised these concerns to Fulton Realty and its owner Eric Eickhof (I believe he and Shelbie Walsh worked together on the seller's end as he was listed as representing the seller on Zillow). Eric Eickhof and Nicole Battle came by the house to have a look, and Eric Eickhof berated me after the meeting and told me they would not help resolve any of the issues raised. I called an appliance repair specialist. When they took apart the dryer, they were shocked to see that all of the wires were burnt and recommended that I purchase a new machine. This is just one example; I had to repair multiple appliances throughout the house. As a buyer, I expected to receive representation, but the team at Fulton worked together to put me in the worst possible position by not disclosing important information and encouraging me not to seek an inspection. I would not have purchased the house if I had the information provided in the inspection in advance of closing. Simply put, I overpaid for the house and had to spend tens of thousands of dollars resolving defects and buying new appliances. Besides the financial impact, my mental health plummeted while living in the house. My quality of life and outlook was bleak. Fortunately, I was able to sell the house 11 months later. I'm not sure if it's a lack of experience, negligence, or incompetence, but Fulton Realty is not a company I recommend trusting with one of the most important decisions you'll make.

Feeling defeated I thought I would test these waters. Everyone came back the same: sight unseen... $100,000. No way. Brett was the only person to come out and actually see my home, he then offered $107,000. Still too low to even consider. Brett did offer to have an agent from his office reach out. Kelly Taucher reached out... I'm not sure what it was.. her tone? Her optimism? Just speaking to someone who sounded interested in helping me sell? Whatever it was? I felt this...relief? Confidence? wash over me. I felt like she meant what she said and she could get my property sold! Then there was: I live about 18 miles away but I still drive over to the condo once a week or every ten days to run the water and flush the toilets. Without even asking her, Kelly said: I'm only a few miles away I can save you a trip and do that for you. Thank you! Once Kelly saw the condo, she suggested taking down the window treatments. I replied I had confidence in her thoughts so, she could go ahead. I also heeded her advice when she suggested I pay to have the condo staged; so it looked more welcoming, helped buyers imagine living here. Kelly was always helpful and never told me no when I had a petty(?) request. Such as: swing by the condo after a showing to turn off lights as all agents tend to leave some on. Kelly was also ahead of the curve thinking before listing she came through w a swiffer to tidy up the dusty floors, as I had moved out months before. Kelly was helpful from our inaugural meeting. We discussed listing price; how long we would let that price ride before dropping it and the next drop amount would be? I appreciated Kelly's confidence and effort in wanting to make sure the property sold. As I told Kelly when I handed over the keys at closing. Thank you! I had confidence in you but I didn't have confidence the condo would sell. A million times THANK YOU. After nearly seven months on the market I had started to lose hope this day would come!! I told Kelly this process was so traumatic I don't ever want to move again but should I? I will definitely be reaching out to her. I will also refer any friends in the market to buy or sell. to contact her. I told her another owner in my building is looking to list and asked me about my experience and for Kelly's information? If you're looking for a realtor who puts her clients needs first and goes the length to make sure your property is properly exposed for full traffic, I would recommend, no, I would highly recommend contacting Kelly Taucher @ Kris Lindahl. Behind the scenes who you may never meet is Transaction Coordinator, Christy. She will make sure all your paperwork is processed, communication happens between all parties & all time-frames are established & met. I mean Christy was on top of everything...I never had a worry that things weren't happening or that something was overlooked. Seamless you might say. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kelly and Christy for taking such good care of me & my anxious worries. Thank you Brett for choosing Kelly to reach out to me . Kelly made this such a smooth and fantastic experience compared to a previous one.

It's big scam all the way around you say will give this much. Then later it drops to another price…read morethen they come back with another price. Then when you jump through all the hoops they want money they already paid you back because supposedly there was a lean on the property. When clearly I paid up to almost $10000.00 and they said everything was good through my mortgage company so clearly someone lied to me and that later know longer exist and went into another mortgage company. Without even telling there was a lean on my property how come it never showed up when I bought my truck when I took out other loans. But now it shows up when I go to sell my house to you. It's a f--king joke. The mortgage company said everything was up to dated when I borrowed close to $10,000.00 to make it good. And Kris Lindahl says there's a lean on my property I would like to know we're the almost $10000.00 dollars went. That's why you can buy and sell you rip people off I should have went with a regular realtor. I bearly made any money off my house at all. I don't understand why you didn't know this before you waited until we are out obviously you didn't do your job. I was never sent anything about a lean I was told to pay close to $10000.00 and that would take care of it. So some ass is lying

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.

When I decided to sell my house in August, I got Sarah's name from a friend of mine who couldn't…read moresay enough good things about her. And my friend was right, she was absolutely fabulous. From the first phone call I made to tell her I was thinking about selling, until the moment I had the check in my hands, she was amazing. I'd never sold a house before and didn't know what I didn't know. But she walked me through every step, from getting the house inspected, to knowing what improvements would have a positive ROI and which I should skip, to recommending cleaning people, an electrician and other helpers. Everyone she recommended was fantastic which made my life so much easier. Before the house went on the market she came in and staged it. House staging is a business unto itself, but Sarah does this as part of her service. And the house was beautiful when she was done. I didn't want to move after she'd staged the place. The photographer she used for the brochures and website did an amazing job and the place never looked better. In the middle of the worst housing market in decades, I was able to sell my house in one day. Yes, part of that is because I had a great house in a great location, but most of it is that Sarah knew what she was doing. And she made it so easy on me. I cannot say enough good things about her. If you need a realtor, make her your first call. You won't regret it.

And we are extremely glad we did - Grigoriy makes owning rental property easy. They have solid in-house accounting and maintenance, and where needed have strong relationships with external vendors. They also have in-depth knowledge of the area (with special knowledge of Minneapolis and St. Paul), and in-depth experience with tenant issues. We recently had our Mpls market-rate property up for a turn, and were very happy with the result. Algo was able to screen for and sign up quality, new tenants well before the prior lease terminated, and at rate that we are very happy with. We love how organized, effective, responsive, honest, and knowledgeable they are, with a special shout out to Grigoriy for the personal touch he offers to both the tenants and the owners. Highly recommend!
