Case Study

The BEST house is worth the wait! Some dear friends invited me to be a part of their home journey quite a few years ago. They had the cutest little blue house that made them so happy but were looking for the next home that had a fun big kitchen and dining space and a swimming pool, too! Now that’s a tall order, especially on the east side of Lake Nokomis. Looking in the city, outside the city…. not really finding “it”! THEN ZOWWWEEE, there she was…. the Unicorn just a few blocks away from the little blue house. A feverish Friday pulling all the pieces together to win the big ball game that everyone wanted to play. We did it! We hit the home run! It helps to have AMAZING clients who told their love story to the seller and who hung in there to make the BEST decision ever. It sometimes takes some time but will happen! So so honored to be a part of their journey and their poolside visitor and forever friend!

The MAC is Back!

“Since 1992, MSP’s noise mitigation program has invested more than $510 million to acoustically retrofit about 15,000 single-family houses, 3,300 apartments and 19 schools near the airport. The program uses FAA Aviation Environmental Design Tool to develop annual noise contours. Residential sound insulation improvements typically include new windows, doors and insulation for walls and roofs.

Last April, MSP announced it is extending the noise mitigation program in a new phase to run from 2025 to 2032. Approvals for the extension came from three local cities, the Minnesota Housing Authority, and a county court and the FAA. The entities’ original agreement with the Metropolitan Airports Commission established the phase of the program that began in 2007.” source

A Swift Pace!

1:00 on a weekday looking at the hottest new listing to hit the market in SW Minneapolis. On the tele, right away from the living room, talking with the listing agent about their plan for receiving and reviewing offers. He said that the seller will sign an offer, right away, if it’s $50k over asking price to shut it down. We moved swiftly and submitted a $450k offer, no inspection, by 2:57pm. At 3:13pm I received a call from the listing agent saying he was sorry but the seller took another offer that came in just after 3:00pm. A $450k, all cash offer from a friend of the seller. A courtesy call to let us know we were in competition would have been nice, but it’s the seller’s call. A swift and competitive market. Keep the faith, keep the pace, and know it will come together for the right home!
