I have had nothing but bad experiences with Homestead Road on both sides of working with them…read more On the seller side they give lowball cash offers, and try to leverage a sellers minimal understanding of the housing market to get houses cheap so they can resell. I know numerous people they have taken advantage of in this way. On the buyer side, the agents are slow to communicate and follow sketchy listing practices. (One house I saw listed by them was put on $100k above market value then re-listed every few days with $10k mark downs) the houses are often listed improperly (ex. 3B, 3BA homes with only 1 legally compliant bedroom that isn't disclosed in the listing) I've even seen agents who don't want to present their clients counter offers (which they are legally obliged to do) because it's a "waste of time". If you looking to buy or sell, I would stay away from here.

Caprice is fantastic at what she does!…read more I'm incredibly pleased with the service I received from Caprice for my home sell and condo purchase. 29 years I had lived in my house, but the time was right to move where the maintenance was less, and the neighbors were plenty. Caprice sold my home in no time with minimal problems along the way. She then found potential properties view until the perfect condo came along. She was always available and communicated how each part of the whole process would move forward. She also profoundly understood the housing market in my area, which allowed me to move forward with what I wanted. Beyond her 25+ years in the business, I experienced her expertise and professionalism. Caprice was amicable, generous, and kind throughout the whole process. She answered all my questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring I fully understood what I was doing and why it was necessary. I'm so glad I chose Caprice for my real estate process needs. Her knowledge and experience, combined with her patient approach, made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. I highly recommend Caprice to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

Do you want the best real estate agent in the area? Then look no further than Becky O'Brien and…read moreteam. Becky is a pro of the twin cities metro area. Experienced, efficient, and savvy, Becky and her team priced, listed, and sold my home in ONE WEEK flat. What more could you possibly ask for in an agent? As an investor, after inquiring in the area for the absolute best of the best in real estate, I was continually referred to Becky, so I finally decided to give her a call. Becky came in and knew exactly what would work in the market from prep, to staging, to photography. The listing looked so good, I almost didn't want to sell my home! Every angle was flattering, and the rooms popped in a way that maximized attractiveness. It's no wonder we sold as fast as we did. I also couldn't be happier with the communication. She worked with me every step of the way. I always knew what the next phase was. She and her team ensured I was constantly in the loop - even from 1500 miles away. Honestly, I can't say enough wonderful things about this agent. She really killed it. If ever you need someone who will get you the best deal and really (I mean really) knows what they are doing, she is the one to call. Thank you Becky!!!

I used them for home clean out and downsizing after my husband's death. I could not have gotten through all I had to clean out and get rid of with out their services. They are very upfront about what to expect, services and cost. I had no hidden surprises. I had an online auction and used their removal service of unsold items. I especially like that they are also in real estate. I was moving after the auction but had agent and didn't know where to begin. But again, they are a stellar team. My whole process from Auction pricing, clean out to home sale was completed in 2 months. I never could have done that without them. They are the best and I'm glad I used their services for my needs.

I don't know where to start with how awful this company is. My girlfriend and I moved into a place…read morethat they manage in June of 2018 and have had literally nothing but problems from that day forward with this company. They decided to switch our contact and who we were dealing with to get keys and to let us into the building. We had a plan in place to show up at a certain day, get keys, and move small items in. Of course when they switched people they neglected to tell us this and we were left waiting at the townhouse with no keys and no representative from Vibrant. When we moved in the townhouse was an absolute pigsty. There was dust on the main ac vent at least 4 inches thick, all of the screens were either filthy or had multiple holes in them, multiple holes were left in the walls, multiple light bulbs were burned out and multiple items were left by the previous tenant. They then took any and all paint and wall repair items because "oh our wonderful handyman can take care of this". Keep in mind they had two months to clean all of this up and have it taken care of before our move in date, but chose not to do that. As if moving day isn't stressful enough these people decided it'd be a good idea to replace the refrigerator and microwave on our first day of moving in. You would think this would take about an hour or two at most but their "stellar" handyman took about six hours to do this all while we were trying to move in. They also snuck into the lease (which we didn't get until the second day of moving in) that we had to pay for the home service plus plan to cover the appliances even though we're the renters and not the owners which is another $45 a month. At this point we should have not signed the lease and tried to live somewhere else but didn't really have a choice. They refuse to send the handyman to the unit unless someone is home so if you need anything at all you have to take off work because he won't come outside of normal business hours or let himself in unless someone is home. It took about 2 months of living there for these incompetent morons to even schedule a window cleaning that should have been done before we moved in. They also are in the stone age when it comes to accepting rent. They'll only take it in check form and even if you date it the 5th they'll cash it the 1st which should be illegal. They've "tried multiple online payment options" all of which are unheard of and completely asinine compared to a simple paypal or venmo account. The garage is a nice plus but you better hope you never lose power or you won't be able to get in. There is supposed to be a key that will release a latch in the garage in the event of a power issue, but this God awful company isn't willing to spend $100 to get a replacement unit/key even though one was never provided to us. Even with all of this absolute absurdity and hassle my girlfriend and I liked the location and actual townhouse enough to want to live there another year. In April of this year we asked about getting a lease renewal since you're basically required to give a 2 months notice here. We got the lease sometime in mid June - approximately 2 months after we asked for it and after our current lease had expired. This is basically the norm for this incredibly incompetent company. Don't expect a response via e-mail or a call back in a timely manner or any amount of time short of at least 2 weeks. They then decided to sneak in a section at the end covering maintenance even though they told us the lease would remain the same. They now want to charge us a trip charge if this "handyman" that can barely rip open a wet paper bag comes to the unit, then charge for time and materials. We also are required to rent a carpet cleaner at the end of the lease and send in a receipt to them. Never in my life have I seen someone place such unfair and unrealistic expectations on the renters of a unit. The whole point of renting is to not pay for those things since it isn't actually any of your things in the unit. This company apparently can't seem to understand why that's unreasonable. We waited a bit to sign the lease which my girlfriend did electronically. They never actually sent me the lease however and I've asked about it a few times since in the last few weeks. I've gotten maybe one response that they sent it over and to check my spam folder. I've been checking my spam folder and e-mail in general meticulously the past two weeks looking for this lease and lo and behold nothing has showed up. It finally did show up after waiting a couple weeks. This is hands down the absolute worst company I think I have ever dealt with, not only for renting but just for anything in general. They have so much turnover that every time you talk to them it's someone new either e-mailing or calling you. This company has single handedly caused so much hassle, frustration and irritation it's almost unfathomable. Avoid this incredibly awful company at all costs.

This is my 500th Yelp review (what.), and I saved it intentionally for a business that made a big…read moredifference for us this year. We used Bjorklund Realty when we purchased our first home this year and were very pleased with our experience. More specifically, we worked with Doug Olson, who may also double as a saint because he was so patient with us. As first-time home buyers, we had tons of questions, which Doug answered patiently. He answered them in person, on the phone and by email, at all hours of the day and seven days a week. He also worked with us to find the right house, even though we can be picky bastards. We looked at almost three dozen houses with Doug before we found the right one, but he never seemed impatient with us, nor did we feel pressure to make an offer on a home we didn't love. Like most first-time homeowners, I think our ideas about what the perfect house looked like changed as we shopped, but we never once felt like our waffling was unusual or unwelcomed. Doug gave us tons of his time driving all over the metro and also helped advise us, pointing out things he saw and things that seemed important to draw to our attention based on his years of experience looking at homes. He did this without complaint, even though we were looking in January and February and it was cold as balls out. He listened to our feedback and used it to narrow the homes he showed us going forward. He got better and picking homes we'd like over time. Once we thought we were ready to make an offer, he was there to guide us through the process, advise us on what we might want to do and to of course act as the liaison for us with the sellers. I can't stress that enough. Since we'd never done it before, we really needed someone to hold our hand and tell us things like what was normal for earnest money, how long was reasonable to receive a response, etc. We really appreciated Doug especially during this part of the process. Doug also had been working in the business long enough to be able to make good recommendations for other related services like the inspector, radon tester, etc. The closing went about as smoothly as closings go (from what I'm told), and Doug even presented us with a thoughtful gift as we parted ways after the closing. I will admit -- we were nervous going with a realty company we didn't know. They're not Edina Realty or one of the big guys in the market. But I actually think this is a case where that worked to our benefit. We got more one-on-one attention, and I think our business meant more than it would have to one of the big guys. We were really pleased and would recommend without reservation.

Many past experiences in the family with land development and property transactions, and we are so impressed with their professionalism and genuine caring.
