Your home is the biggest asset you will ever sell. It's important you do it right!

Testimonials
"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. "

Have a great summer and THANKS AGAIN!! "

"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 Rieken helped me sell my Owatonna MN, home that was built in the 1930s. She was always available for my questions and concerns and extremely helpful, honest, and transparent throughout the entire process. The CMA she provided was thoughtful, fair, and comparable to the other similar homes in the area. She did a great job at helping me market and list my property so it looked like the charming characteristic gem it was by providing great suggestions and feedback on things to include so potential buyers wouldn’t be deterred from the age of the house. My home sold quickly and I was very happy with the experience and work Lisa provided as my agent. "
