I want to put my townhouse on the market very soon and am looking for a realtor that is good at selling townhouses with the market being so bad. I live near Maplewood Mall (great location) and bought my house new in April 2004. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, oversized double garage, and large living room with deck. Does anyone have any experience with this or knows someone who has? We have outgrown our townhouse and want to sell asap. Thanks in advance :)

What can I do next?

Becky Larsen is amazing when it comes to listening to her clients. Her website indicates "southwest community" but she KNOWS the whole TC area. We live in Coon Rapids, and she knows this area just as well as any other. I've known her since 1996 and she did a fantastic job for us.

I would recommend the Snyder Team. They are based in Woodbury, and helped us a couple of years ago. One agent handled the selling of our twin home, and another agent handled our purchase of our current home. They took care of the whole process with us, recommended painters, cleaners, etc when we needed help getting things ready to sell. They also paid to have our new house cleaned when the previous owners left it a mess.
Bob and Jennifer Snyder can be reached at www.thesnyderteam.com.

Hi J.-I highly recomend the Schatz Group based out of Hopkins. They helped us purchase our home and they were absolutely fabulous. We were kind of high maintenance due to credit issues but they worked diligently to ensure we got what we wanted. Our experience prior to them was people would just give up on us because of the issues that we had with our credit. Anyway enough about us. Schatz Group is referal based so they do not spend any money on advertising they rely totally on previous customers which is why they aim to please. I do believe that they also negotiate there % of fees when selling but I am not totally sure on that since we haven't sold with them. Their web site is www.hellohomeseller.com or www.hellohomebuyer.com. Their phone number is ###-###-####. We worked with everyone in the office but my husband really took to Steve the best. Otherwise there is Angela and Mike (owners) or Ted.
Good Luck

This lady is really good- she is a real sweetheart and is not pushy with people as some realtors can be.

We absolutely LOVE our realtor, Nancy Walker-Piela. She sold our home for us quickly and at nearly full price. She is extremely professional, very detail-oriented, had some good tips on simple things to make our house more appealing. She was also very understanding about how difficult it can be to have your home on the market with young kids. The entire process was smooth.

Nancy Jenson with Edina Realty-###-###-####. She's familiar with that area and will literally bend over backwards for you! She's awesome!

I suggest that you interview a few different agents before making a final decision-you really want to work with someone you feel you can trust and get along well with-especially in the market we're currently in.

Good luck!

We are currently looking for a house in the North/Northwest metro. Our realtor is John Kawohl and he is wonderful. He has some investment properties so he is very knowledgeable about the inside and outside of homes and how to sell them in this market. He has talked about townhomes that he is selling for his clients and they seem to be in a variety of areas. Good luck!

J.,

I know you already have had a ton of requests, but I recommend the Savard Group. They are a division of Edina Realty and are great! The will tell you the honest truth, even somethings you may not want to hear, about the market, value of your home and how long it may take to sell. I really appreciate honesty these days. Please check them out and let them know that I referred you.
