Saving You Time & Money
If you’re a seller - how much is your time worth? If you don't use real estate professionals like Melissa or Lisa, expect to spend at least 100 hours selling your home--assuming there are no problems! Most people don't sell more than two homes in their lifetime, so it's not something they develop expertise in. There are constantly changing laws, ethical practices and practical considerations that you don't want to learn on your own through trial and error or relying on a book or information off the internet. It's just not worth the risk or liability. The National Association of Realtors reports that 89% of sellers were assisted by a real estate agent when selling their home. Your home is the biggest asset you will ever sell. It's important you do it right!

Testimonials
"We first started working with Melissa in 2016. She helped us sell our townhome. She gave us wonderful advice on what needed to be done to prepare to sell and how to price our home based on the market. We received a full price offer within the first 24 hours of being on the market! Melisa also held our hands as we went through the process of building our dream home. She came to our design meeting and helped us make smart choices for our new home. A few short years later, we decided to move to be closer to family in another state. Melissa was our first call! The advice she had given us while building the home and her wealth of knowledge all lead to another quick, full price offer. Melissa took the time to really build a relationship with our family and continued to remain in touch over the years. She continues to be in touch and wish us well on our new adventure. (Her Christmas card was the first one we got in the mail this year!) "

"Lisa was our real estate agent as we looked for our new home in the Southern Minnesota area. We were unsure about exactly what we wanted--acreage or lake--so our ‘wants’ were all over the place! Lisa very patiently took us to many homes and helped us to narrow down exactly what we were looking for. She was always available for showings and for conversations as we determined what would be best for our family. She listened to our concerns and quickly learned what would be right for us. She never pushed us or her own agenda, but simply listened and acted on our wishes. I highly recommend Lisa. She is professional, friendly, amiable, and very easy to work with. "

"We have used Melissa Johnson's expertise for the purchase and sale of a townhouse and the purchase of our current single family home. From the start, Melissa was a great listener, and used her expert realtor skills to find all the items we were looking for in our home. We appreciated her honest and timely feedback and knew she always had our best interest in mind. Our family trusted her negotiation skills during the purchasing process and were happy with the results of the sale of our townhome. In the future, we hope to use Melissa's services again when we find the need to purchase another home. We have also referred friends and family to her, knowing they are in very professional and capable hands. Overall, Melissa Johnson takes time to put a personal touch on what can be an overwhelming process for many. We appreciate everything she has done to help us create a home for our family. "
