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!

I worked with Chad Bulloch on the team who was extremely helpful in my home search. As a young,…read morefirst-time home buyer in a hot market, I knew I was going to have a relatively harder time finding something that worked best for me. Chad and I worked together and found a place quickly! He searched off market properties and found the exact fit in my price range, location and layout. It even was the exact style I wanted so not many renovations need to be made to my liking! Chad was very professional but so friendly and approachable when I had any questions, no matter how simple they may be. Chad is very communicative throughout the whole process and I trust him with any housing needs I have. Very much recommend working with the JSG if you're looking to buy!

Clint Kuipers is the best realtor in the state, and I'll tell you why - it took us two years to…read morefinally find the right house for us. In all that time, not only was he extremely patient with us, running around to all the showings we requested, but he was supportive and protective of us as well. He listened to us, got to know us as people, understood not only our style preferences but our functional needs as well, and he'd give us honest and insightful feedback. Not once were we ever pressured to make an offer. He's not the type who is in it for the sale; spend some time with him and you'll see that he truly cares about helping people find the right home. You can tell when someone is passionate about what they do, and Clint is passionate about real estate - not just as a commodity, but he knows that buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a person will ever make in their lifetimes, and he takes that responsibility very seriously while still making the process feel fun. I'm a real estate photographer so I've worked with hundreds of different agents, but there's a reason why I chose Clint to be our realtor. He really is the best at what he does, and I'm so grateful that he found us our forever home. Clint Kuipers is a genuinely good person and an incredible agent, and I can't recommend him enough.

We rented a property from Verde Real Estate in south Minneapolis from the summer of 2021 to the…read moresummer of 2023. Things were rocky from the start when we were doing our pre-move in checklist and found that the bathroom window was broken. It would not slide up and down and the top of the inner window pane would fall forwards into the apartment if it was not locked to the upper pane. We were told it would not be fixed and we were just stuck without a working bathroom window for the two years we were there. The first winter we spent there had a 2-3 month span with no snow removal, but by the time they finally hired someone to do the snow removal there was nothing to be done about the inches thick sheet of ice that covered the small, four car parking lot, driveway, and small amount of sidewalk/walkway to the front door. The second winter was much of the same. Though they technically had snow removal people hired, they did a poor job and we wound up with a sheet of ice for a parking lot and driveway again. It was impossible to take the garbage out to the cans without risking slipping and falling and forget even bringing the cans to the curb for pickup because they were literally frozen to the ground because the snow removal crew would just stack the snow and ice up around the cans. On two separate occasions in the two years, they scheduled maintenance to come to our apartment to fix things that we had not asked for and we were not informed of. They were items required by inspectors to be fixed, but they never communicated a time or day to stop by and take care of it. Luckily I worked from home and was there to have them explain the situation to me because I would have been livid if they had gone into our apartment without permission or advanced notice. The oven was lifted up on wood blocks so the surface was even with the countertops and the fridge was in a cubby with a wooden lip in the floor directly in front of it. This made it impossible to ever clean around or behind the appliances and frankly I don't think those areas have ever been cleaned judging by the fact that the one time we were having issues with the fridge the maintenance worker showed up and couldn't remove it, so told us we were just going to have to deal with the issues. During our move out inspection, the employee present was impressed with how thoroughly we had cleaned the place and even complimented how clean the floors were. This made us more than a little surprised when we were missing $450 from our security deposit for "cat urine smells." Our cat is still fairly young and has never had issues peeing outside of the litter box. More importantly, the two places where this smell was reported were the dining room closet and the smaller bedroom, both areas which the cat was specifically locked out of. We bought and installed a temporary gate to keep the cat out of the bedroom and the dining room closet was so full of stuff that she couldn't have gotten in there to pee even if she tried. Despite reaching out and pointing out the fact that the employee doing the move out inspection said there were no issues (and being the middle of the summer with no A/C in that building, if there was a smell it would have been noticeable) we were not able to get a refund on this wrongful charge. There were a myriad of other issues, some that we brought up and some we did not deem worth the effort of trying to get them to fix. I would absolutely avoid this company in the future.

STAY AWAY!!! This is the worst experience I have ever had with a builder. Dealing with this…read morecompany is like dealing with a crappy used car salesman! When we met with them I explained that we are looking at building the same house as their model house we walked through with the same upgrades. First off Josh told us that the lot we wanted to build on was $10,000 more than the model lot even though it was smaller and in the middle of the development. He then went through all the upgrades in the model house and "accidently" forgot to tell us that the fireplace was an upgrade. When I told Josh that the cabinets were an upgrade he told me I was wrong, but yet it was listed on MLS as an upgrade. His MLS listing also said that a fully sodded lot and irrigation system was included but apparently that was also false advertising. Josh said that he did not know that was in the description and continued to talk in circles trying to see how much money he could get out of us. Josh's direct quote was, "This is a cut throat business and it's first come first serve." Josh would not even quote us a price for the house we wanted to build but yet that was what the initial meeting was for. It's too bad that Amelia, who was very nice and professional, has to work for such an egotistical, arrogant, person who I feel knows very little about construction and how to treat potential customers.
