“Sandra impressed me with her ability to sell our real estate. Her knowledge, thoroughness and communication skills are all top quality. I was recommended to her by my son-in-law who had prior experience with her. I was not disappointed!”

Sue Vicory - Film Maker

 
“Sandra’s experience and knowledge of the market was very helpful as we prepared our home for listing. Her recommendations for improvements and updates helped us sell our home in 20 days. She was patient with us and showed us properties that met our desired criteria. She was an excellent advisor during the purchase our new home.”

We could not have asked for a better realtor than Sandra when we were forced into short selling our home. It is not often that the Realtor is well informed on the legalities and procedures required with a Short Sale, yet Sandra was so well informed and able to educate us every single step of the way. We felt 100% confident in her abilities and trusted her fully to help make the best decisions as we went through the process. She goes above and beyond to ensure that you are looked after entirely. A short sale situation can be quite stressful, but working with Sandra made us feel at ease and confident in the process. We whole-heartedly recommend Sandra for all of your realty needs.

Sandra is a dedicated professional and is an amazing advocate for her clients. She is extremely thorough and enjoys negotiating the best price and amenities for each and every person. Sandra takes a personal and professional interest in looking after the well-being of her clients, and will see to it that every last detail of a transaction is taken care of.

When someone hires Sandra, I am confident that they will be taken care of from start to finish. Sandra will not pressure a client into buying a home; she is patient and is in the business of helping people make a sound investment

Sandra is truthful. Like the best of “German engineering” she is consistent, intelligent, reliable and direct. I have been a mortgage banker since 2001 and can say with confidence that Sandra is one of the Twin Cities’ best real estate agents.”

"... considering my lack of sophistication in matters of home ownership, and the relatively small budget that I had with regard to the value of the house I was looking for, you have done a great job for me and have consistently watched out for my best interests ..."

Ben Braun - North East Minneapolis

 
"What makes Sandra a great real estate agent is her unrelenting pursuit of the home that fits your desires and yet falls within your budget. I feel fortunate that I had her help in finding my first home with the added bonus of her becoming a good friend."

David Bekkerus, Downtown - Minneapolis

 
"... again, I'm so happy you found this place for me. I cannot believe that it hasn't always been mine, I feel so at home and content."

Christina Kovacs - Minneapolis

 
"After I met with Sandra there was no question in my mind that she was knowledgeable and detail-oriented. I learned more from her in one hour than from the other realtors I interviewed combined. During the search process Sandra was so patient, answering my many questions and encouraging me to wait for the right property. I'm so happy with the home she helped me buy!"

Janet Manguson - Minneapolis-Longfellow

 
"Thanks again for all you've done! I absolutely love the place and know that I wouldn't have gotten it if I were working with a less experienced and dedicated agent."

Prof. Mathew A. Dooley - Falcon Heights

 
"Finding a house was a quick and seamless process with Sandra. Her knowledge of the housing market in the area in which I was interested in living resulted in a narrowed down list of quality homes to choose from. She was very thorough in her explanation of each step and provided helped over and above her duties [...]. Her knowledge and expertise made my first-time home purchasing experience a very positive one."

"My co-workers are amazed at how quickly I was able to re-locate to the Twin Cities area and find a wonderful home in a perfect neighborhood with your help. You were patient enough to help me wade through all the paperwork, [...] helping me understand the process of making an offer and explaining to me the closing procedure. You helped me save several thousand dollars by researching and finding a costly repair that the seller ended up paying for prior to my purchase. [...] I will be recommending you to everyone I know!"

Jamie Gehrlich - St. Paul/Cathedral Hills (relocating from Ohio)

 
"[...] I have to tell you how incredibly appreciative we are to have you representing us. It would have been easy for you to simply ignore these sorts of details and make this process smoother for yourself, but instead you took personal initiative to always represent our best interests [...]"

"Thank you again for all your help, Sandra. I've enjoyed working with you - you've set the bar high for any other realtor I work with in the future."

Michelle Lenthe - (relocating to Portland, OR)

 
"I listed my Victorian home in Crocus Hill with another agent in 2005, but after 6 months I had not received one serious offer so took it off the market. I re-listed it with Sandra a year later at the same asking price, even though the market was already a little weaker. Sandra was very creative and proactive with her marketing efforts, for example compiling an interesting history of the home based on information she researched from the Minnesota Historical Society, and also recommending some decorative changes to broaden the appeal of my home. Within 2 weeks I had multiple offers and closed the sale for above the asking price! I feel that Sandra really made all the difference."

„Liebe Sandra, ich möchte mich noch einmal ganz herzlich bei Dir für die exzellente Unterstützung bei der Haussuche bedanken. Meine Familie fühlt sich sehr wohl in unserem neuen Zuhause, was die Eingewöhnung insbesondere für die Kinder wesentlich erleichtert hat. Wie wir mittlerweile auch von Freunden erfahren haben, ist es gar nicht so einfach, ein möbliertes Haus zu finden. Insofern freuen wir uns um so mehr, dass wir auf Dein ausgezeichnetes Netzwerk zurückgreifen konnten.“

Dr. Klaus Berge - City Lakes Area (relocating for a one-year assignment from Munich)

 
„Hallo liebe Sandra, haben Sie vielen Dank für die Info nebst Berichten! Ich wollte mich, auch im Namen meines Mannes, noch einmal ganz ausdrücklich und besonders für Ihre tolle Arbeit bedanken! Wir haben ein ganz gutes Gefühl bei dieser Sache, fühlen uns optimal betreut und gut aufgehoben!“

Sylvia Wagner-Zehren & Axel Zehren - Golden Valley (relocating from Munich, Germany)

 
"Relocating from Germany to the Twin Cities, we greatly appreciated the professionalism with which Sandra introduced us to the Twin Cities housing market. After carefully listening to what we were looking for, she was able to anticipate and accommodate all of our needs in a professional and timely manner. Anyone having relocated from a different country knows that timing is a particularly important aspect for relocation clients. We were also considering rental properties and Sandra was always willing to share her personal opinion and experience without pushing us in any specific direction.

We found Sandra's international background particularly helpful as she is familiar with the differences of the way of life in both the U.S. and Germany, and also because we were able to converse with her in German. We would strongly recommend Sandra as a friendly and very knowledgeable realtor for expatriates."

Dr. Christian Wenninger & Silke Geiger-Wenninger - Minnetonka (relocating from Germany)

 
„Im Rahmen meiner Wohnungssuche als hat sich Sandra als geduldige und sehr versierte Maklerin erwiesen. Sie ist mit dem Immobilienmarkt in den Twin Cities so gut vertraut, dass sie mir Möglichkeiten aufzeigen konnte, die ich nicht in Betracht gezogen hatte. Ihre detaillierten Kenntnisse zu Rechtslage und Gepflogenheiten beim Immobilienkauf in den USA haben mich vor mindestens einer kostspieligen Fehlentscheidung bewahrt. Ich würde Sie jederzeit unbeschränkt als Maklerin weiterempfehlen, speziell für Erstkäufer oder Interessenten, die erst kürzlich in die Region gezogen sind.“

Sandra recently helped us purchase a home in a highly competitive Saint Louis Park market. At times, it was an emotional roller coaster for us, but Sandra was our 'rock' throughout the process. Her patience, knowledge and ability to put the customer's interests first makes her a unique real estate agent. Thanks to Sandra, we are now moving into our dream home in 2 weeks!"

Chris and Sarah Bauer

 
We loved working with Sandra. She's very knowledgeable, is a great communicator, and was willing to work at very odd times of the day to help us out. We will definitely recommend her to friends.

Steve & Sandy Sanger

 
We have worked with Sandra for over ten years. She had helped us to find two great houses and helped us re-sell our first home in a hard economy for a fair price. We appreciate her levelheadedness and all around good business sense to be a sounding board in a very emotional process. Sandra is responsible to follow up, prompt at answering questions, and has a good eye for pointing out good features and questionable ones. Overall she is a great realtor and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

"[...] Your thoroughness and attention to detail has made this very manageable during a busy time. We really appreciate all the work you've done!" [Luke was surprisingly born the day before closing]

“I’ve now worked with Sandra three times. She helped me buy a condo in 2004, and in 2012 was my realtor for both a sale and a purchase. Sandra consistently goes above and beyond in order to provide outstanding service. During the process of selling my condo I was diagnosed with cancer. While I was undergoing medical treatment, Sandra stepped in and managed a host of details in order to facilitate the sale and also make my life easier. Working with Sandra is a pleasure and her professionalism is unmistakable. I consider Sandra one of the “best in the business” and will choose her as my realtor again and again. I give her the highest recommendation.”

"I wanted to formally thank you again for the wonderful experience I had purchasing my new home in Minneapolis. Your friendly demeanor, knowledge of the market, great patience, and gentle guidance took a great deal of the stress out of my home purchase. I would whole-heartedly recommend you to any of my friends in the market for a new home.

Many thanks and please do keep in touch."

"After all of the dust had settled yesterday, I wondered if I had remembered to thank you. [...] It was very nice to get to know you and you really did a great job. Thanks again, I think I will miss hearing from you everyday! Keep in touch."
