With our team approach, we ensure that our clients receive the highest quality real estate services available, regardless of their price range or stage of life. We offer our services on both sides of the St. Croix River Valley (WI & MN), and our success is built on honesty, integrity, and dedication. These are the cornerstones of our approach, and we believe that they are essential to achieving anything meaningful in real estate. By being honest with us, our clients, and other professional realtors, we build trust and respect. By acting with integrity, we show that we are reliable. And by dedicating ourselves to helping our clients achieve their goals, we demonstrate our commitment and passion.

Both work together and bring different skill sets to the table to ensure their clients receive the best possible outcome. John is a licensed broker in WI and MN, and his advanced training has made him a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS). This means that he has in-depth knowledge of luxury marketing of homes. His strengths include communication skills, market analysis, luxury marketing, and negotiating complex transactions.

We are dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in our profession. As a result, we have developed our Blue Ribbon Pledge to put our commitments to you in writing. As top-performing Realtors in sales and marketing, we have received numerous national awards for our sales achievements and exceptional marketing of client properties. Our focus is always on our client’s best interests in every transaction, striving to secure the best price and terms for them in the sale or purchase of a home.
We want to emphasize that all of our clients receive our best service, no matter what the list price or sale price of their home. Sometimes, customers who are looking to sell non-luxury homes assume that their property isn’t worthy of our luxury marketing services. Alternatively, they might think that our commission will be too high for their budget. This is not true! We offer a negotiable commission structure that is lower than most other Realtors and Brokerage companies while providing significantly more services and expertise. We create a personalized marketing plan for each client based on their needs and goals. We also put our promises in writing, so you can trust that you’re getting the best possible service.

Annually, she was training 1,200 to 1,300 real estate agents and helping them achieve their state-mandated 30 CE credits every two years. Although selling real estate is our profession and livelihood, we have a deep passion for teaching and educating realtors on how to be successful and be good stewards within the industry.
