I had been thinking about selling my cabin of 34 years, so I decided to contact 3 different realtors for input. I choose Cindy because of her experience and knowledge of the area.

Totally awesome at finding us the right house. Even walking thru some weird houses.

Mike did a fantastic job finding us the perfect house. He answered all our questions and got back to right away with the answers he didn’t know

Angela was referred to us by one of our trusted friends. We were non-standard purchasers with a unique set of criteria. She spent time to listen at the initial meeting to help her better identify a property and to build repour. We changed directions multiple times, and she was able to understand why and adapt accordingly. She was able to meet us on our time schedules. We tend to be matter of fact people and really appreciated getting that in return. The most import thing we wanted out of the relator was fiduciary responsibility, and she hit the mark.

It was a pleasure working with Liz from start to finish. Her knowledge of the real estate market enabled us to sell our home quickly at a price we were pleased with.

She was friendly and very responsive throughout the process.

Would highly recommend Liz to anyone looking to buy or sell!

From getting the house ready for the market, to managing the closing, Mike stayed on top of it all and provided constant communication. If you are looking for a prompt, pleasant and professional real estate partner who thinks nothing of going above and beyond, Mike is your guy.

I enjoyed touring homes with Sheridan very much. i appreciated walking thru and then taking time to sit and talk about the pro's and con's. We also had a couple of conference calls talking thru expanding the size of the homes we were looking at originally and then increasing the budget to get closer to what we needed regarding property size and square footage of the home.

Funny story; the home we ended up purchasing was a home Sheridan thought we would fall in love with, but i was hesitant to go and look at. This is how well Sheridan listened to us and got to know us over the course of the month and a half we worked together. needless to say i went from no i don't think i will like it, to walking thru and knowing we needed to look no further. Sheridan found us the perfect home and property and in a great location.

Sheridan is no longer just our realtor, he is a family friend.

Thank you Sheridan for all of your time and hard work.

Sheridan did a great job in finding our home.
We didn’t even plan to look at this house based on the listing but he encouraged us to look at it since we had a cancellation in our group of showings.
Sheridan was very flexible in meeting our timelines to setup showings since we live out of the Brainerd area.
Great job Sheridan!!

Angela is amazing! She really understood what I was looking for and was open and honest the whole way through! Prompt response, great communication and an all around lovely lady!

Thank you Kent

Sheridan is one of the best realtors I have ever worked with. He did an incredible job selling our house. From day one he understood our needs and remembered every detail. He took the time to get to know us, rather than just thinking of us as another one of his clients. During the entire selling process, he was always responsive, even if things weren't going quite as planned. He put in the work and sold our house faster than we thought was possible. He knows how to communicate and negotiate with respect and integrity. If you're looking for a realtor that will work with you, who understands the market, Sheridan is your guy. Highly recommend.

Mike was great to work with! Easy going, always answers the phone, and promptly took care of our home sale. Thank you, Mike!!!

Mike was great the entire time we worked with him. It was a random connection that ended up being the best we could have asked for. We looked for several months and Mike stayed in touch the whole time. He was honest if he thought each house was over priced and would say to keep looking. After we closed on our house the fire place didn't work. Mike called a friend over that worked on them to get it figured out. Saved us time and money for that. He also came over, cleaned the fire place, and went to home depot to get a part that was needed for the fire place to work. Mike hooked us up with all numbers needed to get started in our new home and location. He recommended several different places for services. Several days after the closing, Mike called to make sure everything was going well and if we needed anything in the future to call him. Mike is a pretty good guy and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him 100% .

She is great to work with

Kent was awesome to work with. He was patient with my confusion of the whole selling and buying process! He explained everything I didn't understand. He made offers to me NO other realtor has ever done such things as finding people to help me move if I needed it , people to come to the house I sold and clean if I didn't have time and 50/50 share on the installation of central air. I would not ever hesitate to recommend Kent to others and definitely will use Kent in the future. His kids are pretty cute too!!!!!

Additionally, what impressed us was that she gave us time to think about our properties that we looked at without making us feel pressured.

If in the future I make a home change I hope to have the opportunity to go through that process with Mike as my realtor.

He responded quickly to any questions we had and he always made sure we understood the house buying process. I would definitely recommend him to anybody looking to buy/sell.

Mike Stevens was on top of everything from the initial contact when we requested a viewing of the property. He was in contact with us almost daily and checked on all our requests so he could answer our questions. He was as patient as could be while we worked on financing which took longer than we expected. He was always on time for all our appointments. We are very happy with our new 'cabin'.
Thanks, Mike!

Cindy did a great Job with everything, super helpful and had tons of great recommendations for me to help with projects the place I purchased needed to done. I would definitely use again and I highly recommend her.

Cindy was a God send to us in selling our cabin. We had a lot of rain and flooding
she even brought her husband out to help. She was helpful in so many ways and
so knowledgeable and I do not know what we would have done without her! She is
so cheerful and willing to help any time or day. Thank you Cindy!

CINDY was very helpful, when I need to check on something in house. She was willing to meet me at short notice.

I highly recommend Nick, I had been dreading the process of selling my house with not knowing what to expect. From start to finish Nick was awesome with answering any and all questions I had and made the entire process easy and pain free.

Kent was very in tune with my housing needs. He communicated his findings and thoughts on listed properties openly with me, steering me away from properties that were not well suited for me and my family and finally into our new home!

Liz was absolutley amazing, she worked with our schedule and was willing to accommodate any time of day. We told her our "must haves" and she made sure to find them. She helped us buy our home from start to finish, and was just as excited as us when we found it. Liz's knowledge and experience of home buying and selling made what can be a stressful time, a relaxed and enjoyable experience. We couldn't thank her enough for all her hard work, and would recomend her to any one in the market of buying or selling their home.

Kent did a great job selling our house. He went the extra mile, he’s a great person, and great to work with!!

We found Mike to be trustworthy. He responded quickly with updates on showings. He was available every day of the week. He had good follow up whenever we had questions and addressed any concerns that we had. I would recommend Mike to anyone buying or selling.

Nick did a fantastic job! He took great pictures and my house was sold within a day!!

Angela has many skills and qualities that really stand out. She is extremely personable and knowledgeable about the market she is dealing with. She is very transparent and has great communication skills. We always felt like we were kept in the loop and updated very quick regarding the status of the homes we were looking at and the one we purchased. Angela is a true professional who is very hard-working and dedicated to her customers. Awesome job.

Mike was very helpful and courteous during the process. He went out of his way to always keep us fully informed and willing to meet with us at our convenience. Dealing with several family members was a challenge, but he surpassed our expectations every time. I would definitely recommend Mike to everyone. Great job.

We were very happy working with Angela for the purchase of our cabin. She was GREAT! She is super knowledgeable and was very responsive to all our questions and getting back to us immediately. We believe she went above and beyond by checking on things, tracking down the information proactively for us. We would highly recommend Angela if you are looking for an energetic, knowledgeable, responsive agent, she will take great care with you and help you find your dream property.

Angela provided excellent service from our cabin pricing assessment through the ending sale. Angela was always very positive and follow-up one every possible buyer lead to achieve the ending sale. Her prompt response to question from both the potential buyers and myself made the sale of the cabin as easy as possible. I would recommend Angela to anyone selling property as the best real estate agent I have had.

Clint & Laurey Booker

Angela made the entire process of selling our lake place easy and efficient. Her local knowledge is invaluable. If anyone is looking to sell or buy in the Brainerd Lakes area, I would highly recommend Angela.

Kent did a great job for us and got our house sold with no problems. Would definitely recommended using Kent for any of your buying of selling needs. Thanks Kent!

We sold our cabin right away. Before closing there was some problems on the buyer's end. Liz kept us informed of everything. My dad is 90 and the signing of his paper work was so easy for him. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone.

Nick was recommended by my husband and I can say we gave him a run for his money. He showed us 10+ houses in three months and wrote multiple offers which I thought was amazing to see from a realtor. He never tried to sell us houses but asked if we thought we could see ourselves in them and let us talk things over before rushing in on a price. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. He wants to find the best house for you and your family!

Nick was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond what he had to do. From listing my home for sale all the way through closings, he was available to answer questions and took care of things as they’d come up. Hands down, an excellent realtor all the way through!

I can say first hand, that Cindy did an awesome job with the sale of my house.
There was more than one road block, and she dug her heels in and got everything taken care of.
I was living out of state, and had to rely on her to handle everything that came up. She was spot on!!
Cindy went far and above to get my house sold.
I highly recommend her to help you with your selling/buying of a house. You won't be disappointed.
Don

Cindy I feel went above and beyond what she needed to. My husband and I live in the cities and bought a new house in Andover. She drove down everyday to show us houses for just a few hours at a time. She is such a great and knowledgeable women. She got us the best deal and helped with negotiations when needed.

This is the second home we have sold with Nick. Our first home was actually his first home sale 3 yrs ago! His calm demeanor and honesty sets him apart from other agents. He is available, dependable, informative, and confident in his work. If we ever need to sell a home again, Nick will be the one to do it!

My family and I enjoyed working with Nick through our home buying experience. Nick was with us to answer questions and help us through the entire process. His timely manner responding to my questions, working with my mortgage company, and meeting the needs of the appraisal was fantastic! I highly recommend Nick to everyone looking for their new home.

Angela is very professional and efficient . She was very knowledgeable and answers all my questions promptly. Don't hesitate to use her for all your real estate needs! Thanks again Angela.

It was so great working with Mike Stevens with buying my new home. This was the first time I had ever done this and he made the whole process go so smoothly. He explained everything every step of the way. I highly recommend working with Mike , he’s professional, positive and he will get the job done with no worries!

Angela is a great realtor, she was very pleasant and easy to work with. I would highly recommended her.

Kent was great to work with! We were able to quickly sell our lake home and buy a lot to build our next home! Sale and buying went smoothly! Lastly, our house pictures were amazing and truly helped with marketing our house. Thanks again Kent!

Mike Stevens was great to work with on the purchase of property here in Staples, MN. Mike is very personable. He accommodated our request to view the property with very little notice. Mike was able to provide additional information following our visit very quickly. He was very organized and our closing went very smoothly.

Liz is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and is always willing to answer questions. I've worked with her twice now, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone! She's a fantastic realtor and person!

1- We listed a home with Kent and he did a great job getting it sold.
2- We also purchased two investment rentals at the same time and not only did Kent help get the best deal possible ... he got additional repairs included in the purchase AND he found two qualified renters while we were doing the closing.

Thanks Kent. We'll use you again in the future.

Nick did a great job with us trying to find the perfect house. He is always willing to help out his buyers or sellers. Nick goes above and beyond for everyone. I will recommend him to others who are selling or buying. Thanks Nick for helping us find are country home in a perfect location.

Nick did an awesome job for us. He always got back to us right away. He was very professional and easy to work with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for, or selling a house. We are glad we had him to help us out getting our house.

My wife and I were so happy with Nick Dille at Next Home. He answered all of our questions through the entire process and made the entire buying experience much less stressful. We would recommend Nick to anyone buying a home.

We were moving from out of state and gave Liz a real challenge. As recent retirees we had time to be specific and meticulous about the perfect dream home. Liz was great to work with in searching many properties as we traveled to the area or via FaceTime when necessary. After several months she located a home that met most of our expectations. She informed us of every step from beginning to end and answered or researched to answer our questions as they arose. She is an excellent realtor. Great job Liz!!

Nick is a wonderful realtor! He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy. I would recommend him to anyone!

Nick is great and so helpful! He made the process of buying my home easy and fun!

Mike is very personable the best part is he is down to earth and puts client first. Mike is not pushy and is very casual just a regular guy I have recommended Mike to other people. I had 2 other realitors before Mike they had poor attitudes gave them there signs back. ROGER Braith

Nick helped us find our first home for our family. He answered all our questions promptly and made the stressful home buying process a breeze! He explained things in detail and gave us his honest opinion. We cannot thank him enough!

Liz was incredibly patient, explained the entire process of buying my first house whenever I had a question, was extremely flexible in accommodating my schedule with showings, and was just an outstanding realtor all-around. I wish there was an option for 10 stars!

Nick did a great job selling our home for us and helping us in our purchase of a new home! Nick went above and beyond to make sure that our home was prepared and properly staged for its sale! He also worked very closely with us to work out a deal on the purchase of our new home and helped us arrange a very smooth closing process on both homes. Nick is willing to go above and beyond to answer questions for you and get you in contact with anyone you may need to contact. I have worked with a few different realtors who tend to not answer their phone or answer your questions in a timely manner...not Nick! He returned my phone calls as soon as he possibly could....sometimes even in between his already scheduled meetings. He was very timely on getting us information and getting paperwork taken care of. He also worked very well with the buyer's agent to keep us informed of the next step in the process. Now that my family is in our new home, Nick even cleaned out a driveway of a neighboring property that he is selling as the owner is in another state...again going above and beyond what is expected of a realtor. Nick will help you with things that you wouldn't even expect a realtor to do! Give Nick a call and let him help you with your real estate needs! You will not be disappointed! Thanks to Nick for all of his help in our moving process!

Nick is a great realtor to work with. He went above and beyond helping us sell our home and get into our new place! He was easy to get in touch with, answered any questions we had, and was always available to do showings at times that worked for us!

Cindy did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable ,and was always ready to answer any questions I had !

Mike did a fantastic job! Very happy with how he dealt with potential, bidders, and lookers. Everything went smoothly.

Kent was absolutely the best realtor we could have EVER asked for. He is extremely knowledgeable on all subjects real estate, for buying or selling! We sold our home and bought our home with Kent, and I am so thankful we did! This entire process was new to me and Kent answered every single question, and was very easy to get ahold of when questions did arise. He went above and beyond what was needed, and honestly I could never thank him enough for all he has done for us! He made the process seamless and effortless! If you are looking for the BEST realtor, look no further because you've found him! Kent Swenson is the best in the business, a true blessing to our family and a great realtor! Thank you again, Kent!

My wife and I are very pleased with how helpful Nick was during our home search and eventual purchase. He was available when we needed him, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were served well.
We would both highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a new home!

Nick did a great job selling the house!! nick is very friendly and easy to work with.

Nick did a great job at getting us into our home. He was very informative and always available to show us houses while we were looking. Was also great in the offering process and making the deal happen.

Nick did an amazing job selling my house!! It went fast and everything went smooth! He even offered to to help paint if need be. Thanks Nick!

Professional, courteous and respectful are great words to describe Mike Stevens. My wife and I had looked for the perfect piece of property for over three years and we had worked with Mike for the last two years of that search and he did it! We were a tough sell and many realtors we had a couple of visits with didn't seem to like that we didn't jump at the first or second place that we had seen. Mike always treated us well, always followed up with us and always found good, solid answers to our many questions no matter how many we had. If you are looking for a no pressure realtor that puts his clients satisfaction over everything else in regards to the entire process of buying or selling property, we highly recommend Mike Stevens!

Kent did a great job for us helping us to prepare the house for showing. We had enough showings to keep us really busy and had an offer, that met all our requirements. We had some bumps on the way to the closing, but Kent negotiated some good solutions. We would highly recommend his services.

Mike Swanson did an excellent job finding me many different houses in the area in a very hot price range. As a first-time homebuyer, he was an excellent and reliable source of information. He will not encourage you to buy anything unless he knows it’s truly worth your time and effort, and I appreciate that honesty and commitment to a client! I will be calling him when I move in the future.

Nick is very professional and knowledgeable. He was a great person to work with.

Nick did a great job selling our home, he was very professional and pro active. He had quick responce time with all questions we had and was very honest and didn't sugar coat anything.... Would definitely work with Nick again....

Kent has helped us buy 2 houses so far. When we outgrew the first one,he helped us buy a charming small farm. They were both dream houses and Kent made sure our dream came true. Whether buying or selling, Kent takes the stress out of the process. I never want to leave our new home, but he will be the one I recommend to friends and family.

Mike was excellent! He was able to sell our home in 58 days and was with us every step of the way. He went above and beyond by taking care of some issues with our home while we were away. His knowledge and network of people in the Brainerd Lakes area allows him to get things done. Again, an excellent realtor that made our experience painless and trouble-free.

Mike went above and beyond to sell our home! He was informative, dedicated and honest with us about all aspects of the process. He kept us up to date on everything as he received information. We couldnt have made a better choice.

Sold in one day! Great work done by Liz!

Mike has handled the sale of a couple of our properties in the last year and we were very satisfied with the service he provided.

Kent is hands down the one we will be sticking with when we decide to sell and buy again! This was the second home he helped us buy and again made it so easy find us the perfect home! When it came to selling our home he got it done very quick. He helps take the stress out of the whole process! I’m very glad we were able to have someone like Kent help us with all of this!!

I couldn't have found a better realtor to work with. Liz truly cared about what I needed and worked hard to find it. She made buying my first home an amazing experience and I couldn't be happier with what we found!

I was very pleased the way Mike handled my transaction in purchasing my home, ....he was very patient & followed protocol to the "t."
He went above & beyond his necessary duty!

Right from the start I was happy that we chose Nick to be our realtor. This was the first time we had ever sold a house. He was so great and patient when explaining every detail from beginning to end. Even with his busy schedule, he made us feel like his number one priority. He made the selling process a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.. I am alone with our 3 children for almost 7 months out of the year while my fiancé is working, so I was very thankful for Nick! I am so excited to work with him again, this time to buy a home! He is definitely a realtor I would highly recommend to everyone!

I would gladly recommend Nick to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home. He is professional, prompt and knowledgeable. He was so easy to work with, open to whatever form of communication was most convenient for me and always on the ball. He walked me through the home buying process with ease. I used Quicken Loans for my mortgage and he had no problem working with their online process. He worked with my schedule and showed me homes when it was convenient for me. With his help, I was able to make it from first offer to closing in record time. He remained in contact after the sale and helped me with questions I had after moved in. I’m so happy I chose him as my realtor.

He did a good job, he helped me with projects I need done to sell the house.

Went above and beyond expectations

Great guy, answered all of my question and helped find a house that was perfect for my family. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buying or selling a house.

If you are in need of a truly awesome Realtor call Kent Swenson!! He really knows the Brainerd Lakes Area housing market whether in town, in the country or around the many lakes. Buying or selling a home is very stressful but Kent helped to take a lot of that stress away throughout the whole process. We know that he was the ONLY realtor that would be able to sell our house because we were out of state sellers and needed a "hands on" Realtor and not just someone that wanted a listing! Just can't say enough about how kind and honest he is.

Kent did an awesome job handling the sale of our condo property. He always kept us informed on progress report updates. Great experience!!!

Kent had our house sold very quickly, with a lot of positive feedback from potential buyers.
He made the process easy and seamless.
He communicated with us throughout the process, so we always knew what was happened g next.
Thanks Kent for making a stressful time much less stressful!

We had Kent as our Realtor and would do it again! He bent over backwards to find us a property that worked for our family! He is quick to respond and super accommodating!

Kent is hard working and will strive to sell your house or find your dream home. He does not pressure you into a particular direction, but simply lays out the facts and lets you determine if it is what you desire. For some realtors it is all about the sale, for Kent he puts the purchaser first, not his own intentions....as it should be. I would highly recommend Kent to anybody that is ready to sell or buy a home.
