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.

I had a pleasure dealing with Homestead Road. Great experience and highly professional team!read more

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.

Carl has been very accommodating, responsive, and trustworthy throughout my entire experience. He has made this already stressful process less stressful for me. He has communicated with the financial team, home staging team, inspection company etc. for me just to reduce my stress. He truly has gone above & beyond to make this process seamless. I 100% recommend him to my family, friends, & coworkers to assist during a time of buying/selling. Not only was Carl outstanding, but the rest of the Desrochers Realty Group has been wonderful. The photographs they took of my current home were BEAUTIFUL! They use professional cameras and drones to capture your homes full potential. They even create flyers to hand out during open house. If you chose, they also have a "staging professional" who comes to your house to provide advice on how to stage each room. I'm just blown away by the teamwork within the Desrochers Realty Group and I cannot thank Carl enough! My house was on the market for a total of 5 days before I received an offer!

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!

SHORT STORY: The tour was lovely as was the person who…read moreconducted it. However, everything went downhill from there. I toured on 8/2/25, applied on 8/7/25 wasn't approved until 8/21/25 (despite excellent credit, rental history and no criminal background), and despite consistent following up, didn't get the lease until 9/18/25 for my 9/25/25 move-in date. There were so many red flags, but I tried to have faith for a situation undeserving! As awful as the ordeal was, I take it as a sign. If they felt comfortable enough offering subpar service to me as an applicant, who knows how much worse it would have been as a resident. LONG STORY: 1)Bait and switch - I expressed interest in a specific IZ unit only for the application to be updated to reflect another one, a floor below available 20 days later. I was never notified this change would happen, I just stumbled on it. Based on the reason giving, I convinced myself this was a one off and everything would be okay. 2)Lack of Transparency & Communication - I found myself constantly following up for updates. Sadly these were the only times I got confirmations, or request for to submit more info; there nearly zero initiation of communication. 3) Unnecessarily long process - I seriously think my application was deprioritized, for reasons I can assume, but only they know! We all know how stressful moving can be. When you're trying to coordinate furniture delivery, complete address changes, and such... it's extremely irresponsible for partners to drag their feet. 4) Failure to follow through - this was a continuous issue. After what was already a drawn out experience, I was assured by the leasing agent on 8/29 that the creation of my lease was on the property managers to do list. I made the mistake (once again) of believing her. However, by 9/8/25 I reached out to the manager and didn't hear back until 9/16/25. At that point he tried to throw the agent under the bus (for his delay). Despite saying he would have the lease completed by the following morning latest, 9/17/25 came and still nothing. At that point I was done! So by the next morning I withdrew my application, and requested a refund of all fees. I should say that during this dreadful time, my gut told me to look into a plan B. So after the last straw, I called up my plan B, and we got things done in record timing. While my plan B, was a bit more money... I'm very happy with it. It's not as new and it doesn't have a washer/dryer in unit, but it's much bigger, has a lot more closet space, bigger balcony with better views, in same area, and most importantly.... communication is far better. I'm treated as a valued member of the community!!!!!!!

I share that because it feels…read morerelevant to how we were treated by DRG--specifically by their employee Patrick Cason, who communicated with us in an aggressive and condescending manner. It felt like he assumed we didn't know our rights and could be intimidated into accepting whatever they decided. We moved out on the 8th of the month, but DRG required us to pay rent for the entire month. Then they withheld a large portion of that overpaid rent along with our entire security deposit. The reasoning they gave was inconsistent and unsupported. They claimed smoke damage but provided no real evidence--just a dirty air filter, which we fully admit we should have replaced before moving out. But a dirty air filter doesn't prove smoke damage, and their own move-out report never mentioned any smoke odor or related concerns. In fact, the report--completed by someone hired by DRG--only noted a few dirty carpet spots, not that the carpet needed to be cleaned or replaced. Yet, we were charged for full carpet replacement. When we asked for documentation, Patrick responded with hostile and accusatory emails. At one point, he even told us the owner wanted to sue us and that he was "talking them out of it." That kind of language felt less like professionalism and more like an attempt to scare us into submission. We've filed a conciliation court claim to hold them accountable and will update this review after the hearing. Until then, I strongly urge anyone considering a DRG property to document everything, ask questions, and know your rights. The way we were treated felt exploitative and dismissive--and we don't want others to go through the same experience.
