Very good
Recommended without reservation
A relocation and move-up/downsize specialist ranked in Edina Realty's top 10% company-wide, best suited to luxury and life-transition clients in the $350K-$2.4M range.
Pros
- ✓Ranks in Edina Realty's top 10% of agents company-wide, at one of the Twin Cities' largest brokerages
- ✓Clear specialization in relocation and simultaneous buy/sell transactions, a genuinely complex deal type
- ✓Background in property law and corporate property management adds contract and negotiation depth
- ✓Multiple client testimonials specifically cite responsiveness and organization through closing
- ✓Comfortable across a wide price band, from move-up buyers to $2.4M luxury listings
Cons
- ✗Practice skews toward move-up, downsizing, and luxury clientele — a first-time buyer well under $350K may be better served by a dedicated entry-level specialist
- ✗Operates solo, so bandwidth during overlapping, simultaneous transactions may be tighter than a team offers
- ✗No independently verifiable aggregate review count/rating was locatable at time of writing, despite multiple positive testimonials
