Steve and Monica were so patient with me as a new home buyer and provided me with more information than usual at every single showing. I always left our meetings together feeling so at ease knowing they had my best interest- and they did! After a number of showings lasting over 3 months, Steve and Monica were able to negotiate the best offer for me on my first home and completely went to bat for me knowing how badly I wanted this home. I have so much respect for The Kinny Team with all of their time and energy put into my home buying experience. I learned so much from both Steve and Monica and their years of expertise. I can't recommend this team enough whether you are buying or selling. Steve and Monica make a great team, they understood me as a client and what I needed, and went above and beyond what I had expected them to do. Thank you Kinny Team for your trusted partnership and making me feel like your most important client during each of our meetings. I appreciate you both so greatly and can't wait to send future buyers and sellers your way. I look forward to working with you again in the future!!!

I've been moving around the country and have dealt with 20 landlord in the last 10 years. I…read morehonestly gave up on ever finding a quality landlord. They just all seem to lack compassion, pride, and service. All they ever really cared about was collecting money and avoiding repair and maintenance calls or emails till they couldn't dodge the issue. Last year when I was relocating from Los Angeles to Minneapolis I only had two days to find an apartment. I was being rejected from all of them because I didn't have a 730 credit score due to some student loans and medical bills. When I was about to give up and go back to Cali I got a call from Tom Stutsman wondering if I was still looking for an apartment? I told him "yes!I was", but I told him my credit is a work in progress and not high... He said let me guess "Student Loans and Medical Bills"?I said "Yes"! and he told me he didn't care about that stuff and as long as I'm a nice person that's all he looks for... next day I looked at the apartment. I ended up dropping the deposit the next day and had the lease signed before I Flew back to Los Angeles. It all happened so fast and easy. Tom even had the lights turned on for me in my name when I arrived. Any time I had a repair issue, even emailing him late at night they would be taking care of it first thing in the morning. Tom's work ethic is unprecedented and within minutes of talking to him you can tell he radiates a passion for what he does. If I'm ever back in Minneapolis the only person I will call is Tom Strutsman. Thanks Tom for all that you do!

In terms of selling, Billy took every step to elevate and position my home above the rest in a competitive yet uncertain market, from staging to photos to pricing to negotiations. Special shout-out to Heather, the Team Manager, who helped me navigate the intricacies and nuances of buying/selling by organizing and coordinating the necessary paperwork, communications, and to-dos on my behalf. She was a trusted resource; providing unwavering support, guidance, and clarification on next steps, and she did so with exceptional customer service and professionalism.

We didn't get to know Steve very well, but that's because we found a house in about a month! This guy is goooood - professional, knowledgeable, and has experience in homes. He used to flip homes, so he knows if something is of good quality/craftmanship. And that was really important to us knowing how many homes in this market are flipped poorly (we watched too much Holmes Inspection). He also works like a mad man! We received responses from him at 11... at night. He would call us, check in on us, follow up... the works! Our favorite part of Steve, though, was that he never said, "ooooh, offer full price or else you won't get the house." He was on our side. He wasn't afraid to let us put in a fair offer. He was... awesome. I definitely would recommend Steve in a heartbeat... or in a door knock (heh heh heh).

Steve is outstanding. He's professional, incredibly accessible, and also genuinely caring. From…read morethe moment we first sat down with him, to the market research, to the listing, to the sale, we felt that we were his number one priority. You couldn't ask for a more supportive realtor! Despite listing in a so-so market (we were relocating for work), Steve had the knowledge and experience to get the best possible result for us. (Heck, we sold the house in four days - and for the best price we could have imagined!) We would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Steve Casalenda to sell your house. (Or to help you buy your house). Also, he's really one heck of a nice guy, a St. Paul native, involved with the community.

These guys deliver and go above and beyond the typical level of customer service. We ended up feeling like family. Such a great feeling to know we were with people that would get the job done. 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. We have to thank my parents for referring Jason to us. What an excellent referral it was. Jason Koenig and his entire team were amazing from start to finish. Pros: -Marketing and communication. Amy M- what a bright, cheerful, encouraging communicator. -Picturesque photos- Nina- fabulous photos that say, " I want to live here". We received many compliments on the photos. -Transaction and Closing- Molly and Marjorie- excellent and helpful communications, helpful info. -Real Estate Agent- Jason Koenig- reliable, caring, excellent communications, friendly, charming, fun, professional and an overall great guy! -ShowTime App- to confirm or deny showings -E- Signatures- convenient and reliable for signing documents Closing Title Company- Brittany- what a sweet, thorough and lovely person. - Real Estate Agent (Buying) - Ryan. Always there ready to show us what we might be interested. -Clean, tasteful branding. Cons: Can't think of any... These guys do so much for their clients and make everyone feel like more than a client. I would and have recommended them to family and friends who want to list, buy or receive guidance. Okay, I'll wrap it up- this isn't the Oscars..... Oh, but wait.... Fabulous client events and parties thrown by Jason and Shane Client Appreciation Halloween Events Santa Events and so much more.....

He listened to what we wanted in a home and didn't try to push is into a sale we didn't feel comfortable with.

I cannot recommend Corbyn or the Odd Couple team enough!

Karen was invaluable to our process. It takes great skill to lovingly and respectfully deal with…read moretwo individuals going through a divorce trying to sell a house. She did so with utmost grace. While working with us, she served on the local realtor's ethics board and nourished active relationships with pet shelters. When the seller desired it, which was the case for us, she set it up so a dog would be shown on a video alongside our house... So, if someone was interested in buying the house, they could reach out to Karen and if they wanted to adopt the dog, then they would reach out to the partnering shelter organization. Her background on ethics was highly important to me because our experience was not a good one when we bought the house. That time, we barely saw that realtor and was passed around to other team members. With Karen, though we interacted with others, it always felt complementary to the work she was doing with us. S Throughout the process, Karen was responsive and communicative (sending weekly update emails). A great teacher with much patience, she educated us on all the steps along the way. Her immense research, experience and skills allowed us to trust her even when we didn't trust each other. Karen is a blessing to the industry and I will absolutely return to her next time I am needing a realtor.
