“Shelly was our agent in 2010 when the real estate market was a mess. She advised us this wouldn't be a good time to sell. We would meet every year and the answer was the same. Then in 2013 she gave us the answer we were looking for and the result was a nice townhome in a wonderful community in Woodbury. Both my wife and I were very impressed that she stuck with us through those bad times. We got a nice home but Shelly's dedication to customer support even in tough times has led us to recommend her to family members. Every time we see her we do our best to express our appreciation for what she did for us. Something I will never forget nor will we ever forget Shelly Holz.
And now for all the reasons above we've ask Shelly to represent us again. Shelly accepted and her team went into action. The depth of her team's assistance was outstanding. It made the experience a pleasure for us. The communication effort kept us informed day by day which resulted in a comfortable feeling that the sale of our home was in good hands. The sale went very fast and because of Shelly's efforts we received a full price offer. After the offer was made and accepted Shelly's team kept us informed through the closing process which in turn allowed us to schedule a timely move to our new home.
Twice now we've listed our homes with Shelly and her team, twice we've been very happy with the results and several times we have recommended Shelly to our family and friends. To say we are happy with the work Shelly did for us is a huge understatement. If you're looking for an agent, you just found one of the very best.”

“Justyna Johnson, MN Realtor
They call her Five-Star Justyna. But she is waaaaaayy more than that. I rarely write public reviews. But I simply must post a review for Justyna Johnson because of the beyond belief experience with our home sale!

We are older downsizers and thought selling was an extremely stressful decision and process. Therefore, we interviewed several Realtors who know the area well. Each had his/her own expertise and professionalism qualities we liked.

But when Justyna walked through the door, we knew within minutes that she was the choice. She listened intently to all of our needs and preferences and answered questions with clarity. Her reputation of being a top agent in our community gave us confidence.

Justyna provided:
--an excellent handyman to make some minor repairs.
--a top-rated housekeeper to offer pre-showing deep clean and move-out clean.
--professional window cleaning.
--professional home stager.
--high quality aerial photos.
--high quality inside and outside photos and video.
--email, phone, and text support seven days/week.
--personal attendance at our showings (we requested).
--no lock box (we requested).
--she brought a top inspector, well-known in the area. Most Buying Realtors would recognize his reputation, so a Buyer would feel safe accepting our pre-inspection without contracting their own. The pre-inspection gave us a chance ahead of showings to know what needed adjusting or repairing.

It's true, our home has breathtaking views and solid construction not found in new homes today. But Justyna's experience was the magic. Her offered amenities leave nothing to want. She gives the home every opportunity for the sale to be smooth and successful.

She closed the viewing and bidding on Day Two after having eleven showings and three above-list price offers. This is amazing in the Minnesota market during the fall season and in today's market with Buyers demonstrating caution due to economic uncertainty, fluctuating mortgage rates, and ongoing affordability issues.

However, Justyna knows how to sell a home. Make it clean, lovely, and inviting.

Was it stressful? Yes. But with Justyna's guidance and multiple amenities, the process was like a child in the care of a loving parent. She held us all the way, start to finish. Her expertise and professionalism are unsurpassed.

Justyna is a class act to the highest degree. Not because she is arrogant but because she is fair, genuine, and truly cares about her clients and the Buyers.

If you are seeking an experienced, caring, and supportive Realtor, please consider Justyna Johnson.

“Sam is one of the best real estate agents I have worked with. His focus is always on obtaining the best results for his customers. I have recommended Sam to many friends. A pleasure to work with.”

“We worked with Abby and Jacqui to find our new home in Stillwater. They were knowledgeable, professional, and delightful to work with. We found the perfect home through their connections and persistence. Abby and Jacqui also helped us sell our previous home. The photos were exceptional and it sold for more than we asked the very first weekend it was on the market. We couldn’t be happier with the process and outcome for both selling and buying. We highly recommend them!”

“Bob is an excellent realtor. He has gone above and beyond for us in both our purchasing and selling of homes. We have worked with Bob for over 7 years and if we were to stay in the area, we wouldn't think about using any other relator. Will miss Bob as both a Realtor and go to person for real estate questions. THANK YOU BOB.”

Her negotiation skills are second to none. Our closing went so smoothly and quickly. Highly recommend Angela and Edina Realty for your real estate endeavors.”

“What can I say, Mike Hultquist was absolutely amazing helping us to get our dream retirement property.

My wife and I have been talking about moving into Pine County for the last five years, we’ve looked and researched extensively.
Never really finding the place that checked the boxes that was important to us. There’s been some close calls and near misses., but there was always something that held us back about what we saw.
We saw this property when the listing was only an hour old.
Mike responded almost immediately from our inquiry through the website.
We were able to go see the property the same day.
Mike was gracious enough to meet us there at the time we had agreed, even though we knew there would be a lot of interest. There was at least five showings that day and several more scheduled over the next day and a half.

We were the second to last showing and wanted to put an offer in however, it was getting late in the day and I could tell Mike was exhausted from all the showings. He said he was an early riser and to reach out to him in the morning.
This is the amazing part. I texted Mike in the morning and he responded in five minutes and we started the process. All the paperwork was completed and done and an offer in front of the seller by 12 noon that day.
Within 30 minutes we had received news our offer was accepted.
Mike was very gracious and helpful throughout the whole process answering all our questions.
We’ve never owned property in a rural setting before, and it was a little daunting, but he settled our nerves with all his answers and reassurance.
Mike, thank you for a great experience.
We appreciate all your hard work and effort to get this done.
Bottom line highly recommend Timber Ghost Realty and Mike Hultquist as an agent.”

“We were lucky to work with Andrea for several years as her client. Andrea was always responsive, professional, and courteous to our requests. She was willing to go over and above to find out the details needed to satisfy her clients' financial questions and we really appreciated her work ethic.”
