Tips for the Host and Thanksgiving Guests! Are you the one to host Thanksgiving this year? Chances are, you have planned out the (amazing) meal. Now let's get your home ready for Thanksgiving guests! Lighten up: Check indoor and outdoor lights, replace dim bulbs, lighten up hallways and stairways. Remember, your Thanksgiving guests don't know your home as well as you do! Safety: Roll up rugs that slide or are a trip hazard. And for the younger guests, protect the fronts of fireplaces to keep them away from the hot surface! Assess the Kitchen: If you are bold enough to share your kitchen, take some of the pressure off! Make sure to have extra mixing spoons handy, added bowls, a step ladder, all at the ready. Stock oven mitts and extra dish towels too! Put aside things you won’t need that day! Create a Welcome Station: Have a coat space with hooks/hangers, a bench or chair, and an extra mat for shoes. Bathrooms: Add a nightlight to easily identify this room. Stock with extra hand towels and toilet paper. And most importantly, put aside a slice of your favorite pie. When the guests have gone and you are finally sitting down to savor it, you will thank me! Have Fun! And Happy Thanksgiving from Kristin and John! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog The Witches Crook, built slanted with reason, A fitting tale for this Halloween season. For while you are out dressing up as ghosts, Somewhere a witch is reading this post. She knows that soon you’ll be off your guard, While greeting trick or treaters in your yard. She will be out on Halloween night, Looking for dark places without any light. She is hoping to ‘stop in’ and will descend Down your home’s chimney - unless there’s a bend. Legend says a witch can only fly in straight lines, Stories grow more believable through time! A builder would correct you – it’s not about a witch! It was a way to match a chimney with the roof’s perfect pitch. A mason built the chimney to bend, with great care But is that really true? Or should you beware? How do I know my chimney’s built well or leans? Let’s talk about this more after Halloween! By Kristin Beise Happy Halloween! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Today’s Market: Perception vs. Reality We’ve had a lot of great conversations lately about the market — with buyers, investors, lenders, guest speakers at a recent RE/MAX event, and many of you who are simply curious about where things are headed. The perspectives definitely varied! Some people voiced concern; others were genuinely excited. We decided to look at the numbers. When we did, another message emerged: The perception of the market had shifted, yet the numbers have stayed steady. Reviewing the latest data from Minneapolis Area Realtors, here’s what we found: % of Original List Price Received: Still strong at 98. 7% 2024 → 2025 Takeaway: Buyers and sellers are staying aligned on value. Days on Market: 40 days in 2024 → 42 days in 2025 Takeaway: Homes are taking just a touch longer to sell - a pause, not a problem. Median Sales Price: Up from $389,000 to $400,000 2024 → 2025 Takeaway: About a 2. 7% increase — steady growth without the surge. Months Supply of Homes for Sale: Holding steady at 2. 8 months Takeaway: Inventory remains tight, keeping the market balanced but competitive. New Listings (Week of Oct 4): 1,474 2024 → 1,409 2025 Takeaway: Slight dip in new listings, typical for Fall as sellers look to Spring Inventory of Homes for Sale (Week of Oct 4): 10,686 2024 → 10,688 2025. Virtually identical — proof the market is holding its ground. While conversations may feel different this Fall, the numbers show a market that is... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Don’t Leave Leaves Until Spring! As the leaves fall, it’s time to roll up your sleeves (or hire a helping hand) and give your yard a little seasonal TLC. Removing leaves not only keeps your lawn healthy but also prevents slippery walkways and clogged drains later on. Tip: Remember to check your city’s curbside pickup or composting rules. Every community has its own guidelines on when and how leaves are collected. While you’re at it, look up. Those gutters and downspouts need attention, too. Clearing out leaves and debris now helps prevent issues when snow arrives (and melts in Spring! ). But don’t forget to have a little fun! Breathe in the crisp fall air, dance in the leaf piles and enjoy the season. Soon enough you’ll be trading in that rake for a snow shovel! Kristin Beise RE/MAX Advantage Plus --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog The Front Door: Serving as a Backdrop for the First Day of School since 1925 Okay, so I’m not exactly sure about the year. But I do know that many of us enjoy using our home as the ultimate backdrop for this important occasion: the first day of school. Is there any better feeling than that first day? The promise of a fresh year and the adventure that awaits! But why the photo? Your older children would probably say it’s just another way for parents to embarrass their kids. Maybe so. Whatever the reason, these photos certainly tell a great story, don’t they? The progression of height, style, braces or no braces, addition of cute puppies, proud little brothers and sisters. To get the true essence, I went back to my own “first day of school” poses. I admit there wasn’t one for every single year (ahem). Still, I’m sure my siblings can attest that I was likely out on the front stoop, waiting for the photo shoot to begin. (I loved the first day of school! ) As I flipped through the album, I also enjoyed photos from other milestones over the years—Halloween costumes, proms, basketball uniforms, weddings, heading off to college, and so much more. Something stood out: of all the changes over the years, there was one constant: the backdrop of our home, The Front Door. Standing strong, steady, inviting, welcoming. As if its arms were wrapped around us, guiding us through many of life’s “firsts. ”... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog A Note from The Right Realtors How’s the market right now? We have entered a new season in the real estate market. Thankfully the changes are small, and not major concerns in any one price, area, or type of property. Reports say that inventory increased just 1. 4% last week. However, all our buyers saw a recent increase in opportunities. Some are new listings. Others are listings with new prices. There is slowing in the market, but not in a ‘sweeping, all areas & price points’ way. In fact, my buyers are touring new listings within days of them coming on the market, considering them, and reacting quickly. Wait too long and even lingering properties are selling. This adjustment has allowed our buyers the time they need to do the research they need prior to submitting an offer. As always, as the market adjusts, we do too. What we did to promote listings in May is already different than what we are doing to promote listings now. But we adapt, we help our buyers and sellers adapt. We are looking forward to what the market will bring as we head into the new season. Happy Fall! Kristin and John --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog It’s State Fair Time! What does that mean to you? Ask a dozen people and you’ll likely get a dozen different answers. That’s the magic of the Fair—it somehow appeals to everyone in its own way. For some, it’s all about the food. For others, the music. Maybe it’s entering a competition, seeing your school project on display, or even meeting “the one” (yes, many love stories trace back to the State Fair). Whatever your reason, it’s an event steeped in tradition. And let’s be honest—few things can send you home hot, tired, lugging around a bucket of cookies you swore you wouldn’t buy, clutching a blue ribbon, and still think: “That was the best day ever. Let’s do it again next year! ” --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog We’ve been having many great conversations lately about the market. And honestly? There’s a lot to feel good about! There’s continued strong demand and an energy right now that feels really positive. It’s fun to see the market presenting some fresh opportunities that our buyers and sellers have been hoping for. Clients who have been waiting for ‘when the time is right,’ are calling with great news: “We have decided to make that move we have always dreamed about! ” The trick is to not wait too long! The factors that are making this market ‘inviting’ are the very things that could change, adjust, and sadly, put your dreams out of reach! If you’ve been thinking about what’s next for you - whether buying, selling, or just exploring ideas - we’d love to chat. Sometimes just talking it through helps turn dreams into reality! Sincerely, Kristin and John --- - Categories: Uncategorized Plan Your Next Move with the Whole Family in Mind These days, pets play a huge role in our lives, and in our home buying decisions. In fact, 71% of American households now have a pet (according to the American Pet Products Assoc. ). For many buyers, that means a “perfect home” isn’t just about bedrooms or a big kitchen — it needs to work for everyone, paws included. If planning a move, keep these in mind: Fencing & Yard Space: Not all areas allow fences. Be sure you can build one that fits their size & energy level! Parks & Trails: Check out dog friendly Parks & Trails and their proximity to where you want to live. Cat Friendly: Pay attention to large windows & perches or see if there is an easy way to add a Catio! Vet Access: For emergencies or routine checkups, being near a reliable veterinarian is important! HOA & City Rules: Breed, size, or pet limits vary. Check first before you fall in love with your home! When you plan ahead, your home can be a place where everyone, two-legged or four, can feel at home. --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Picture this: you’re at a backyard gathering when someone says, “I’d love to buy a home, but the down payment is way too high. ” Then another person chimes in, “Yeah, unless you’ve got 20–50% to put down, or better yet, all cash, it’s not worth it. ” You nod politely, but inside, you know that’s not the whole story. There’s a huge misunderstanding out there about what’s really required for a down payment. Yes, some people choose to put more down to reduce their loan amount, but that’s not the only path to homeownership. Many first-time buyers put down between 6–9%. FHA loans can be as low as 3. 5%, and VA loans often require nothing down at all. Plus, there are thousands of assistance programs designed to help cover part (or even all) of a buyer’s upfront costs. It’s also important to remember that not every buyer is starting from scratch. Some can move equity forward from the home they’re selling. But life happens, needs arise, and sometimes that resource just isn’t there. Even in those cases, homeownership can still be within reach if buyers know about lower down payment options and current loan products. And that’s another key point: these programs, requirements, and loan offerings are constantly changing. What feels impossible today might look very different next month. So if someone tells you they can’t buy because of the down payment, encourage them to talk to a trusted lender. The real numbers — and the real options... --- - Categories: Uncategorized My wife and I always had a dream to live on the lake and our journey began 23 years ago. Having a family of three we wondered how we could make it in a one bedroom condo, that didn’t work for long. We met John and Kristin at an open house and we’re delighted with the energy they both brought to the table and knowing that John was from the area we knew they were the (Right Realtors) for us. They both have a wealth of fantastic knowledge and expertise and that’s what we were looking for in a realtor. They were very accessible available for questions or concerns we had along the way. They helped us find just the right house in 2003 which was perfect for raising three kids. Just recently we found a townhouse on the lake and they went above and beyond to write an offer late at night - and helped us get our house on the market quickly. They are truly amazing, hard working and a dedicated team. Ryan and Sarah --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog, Beise Real Estate, Kristin & John In The Community Thank you for your vote!

We had just helped her prepare her aunt’s home for sale. All was going smoothly so we were surprised when we heard the urgency in her voice. “Please, can you help? I need to reassure my aunt this will be taken care of! ” It truly was an emergency! In all the planning, prepping and moving something was missed: Who will pick this year’s rhubarb? Now, in situations like this, when a client needs help finding a new home for things, we usually reach out to one of you! This was no different, except that my parents were in town. As soon as they heard the call to save the rhubarb, they were on it! John grabbed a knife. Mom grabbed a few bags. Dad and I grabbed the keys and off the four of us went. The rhubarb was certainly ready for us. We got our hands dirty as we cut the rhubarb and put it into the bags. This all sounds perfectly logical, right? Well, unless you are the neighbor. All he knows is that a sweet neighbor has moved. All he sees is a group of strangers hunched over in the garden. I will never forget the ‘energy’ this neighbor had when he approached us. Trying to explain, John handed him a business card. But my mom handed him rhubarb. With a simple, quiet nod of approval, he showed he understood.... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Remodeling Season is almost here! The time to bring your creativity and dreams to life. Before diving into a remodeling project, big or small, consider these steps first: Define Your Goals: Clearly outline what you want to achieve with the remodel. Whether it's updating a kitchen, adding more space, or enhancing functionality, having a clear goal will guide your decisions throughout the process. Know Your Budget: You may want to spend a little time on this one. Have you saved for a major bathroom remodel to discover your dollars will only get you as far as a new toilet and some towels? (Seriously, you may need to slowly absorb the sticker shock if you have not priced things out in a while! ) Get Bids: Reach out to multiple contractors and suppliers to obtain bids for your project. This allows you to compare pricing, services, and expertise, ensuring you get the best value for your investment. Assess Your Skills: Determine what aspects of the project you can tackle yourself. Whether it's painting, minor repairs, or simple installations, knowing your capabilities can help save on labor costs while also allowing you to contribute to the project. By following these steps, you'll be ready to tackle your projects like a pro! Happy Remodeling! Kristin Beise RE/MAX Advantage Plus --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog The April 15th Tax Deadline is Almost Here! Your response might vary from panic (its April already? ! ) to a serene sense of accomplishment (I filed months ago! ), or maybe somewhere in between. Whether you're confidently prepared or scrambling, these homeowner tax tips can assist you in the eleventh hour... or even better, they can lay the groundwork for smoother planning next year! Get Organized: Gather all the documents related to your home such as property tax documents, mortgage interest statements (1098). If you purchased and/or sold a home last year, also gather the settlement statement(s). If you paid points to lower your mortgage rate, they may be deductible. Keep Track of Improvements: Keep detailed records of any home improvements you make throughout the year. This includes renovations, repairs, and upgrades. Check if you qualify for any tax credits related to homeownership, such as energy-efficient home improvements. Plan Ahead for Next Year: If you anticipate selling your home or making significant changes to your homeownership situation, be proactive in understanding how these events will affect your taxes in the future. Consult a Tax Professional: Don't hesitate to seek advice from a tax professional. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and help ensure you're maximizing your tax benefits as a homeowner. Schedule a Mid-Year Checkup: Set a time this Summer to assess how your tracking is going so far. Ask the questions or do any research you did not have time for during this tax season... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog There is no question the current market is moving fast. Multiple offers. A race to schedule showings. It can be overwhelming! And for some buyers, it may actually be moving too fast. Does this mean you should put your buying dreams on hold? No. But you can do a few things to be prepared: 1. Know Your Numbers Congratulations. You are approved. But do you really know your numbers? How much can you put down? Do you have a great lender? All of this helps when submitting an offer you can feel confident about! 2. Stay True to Your Wish List Focus on what truly matters to you: school district, yard space, bedrooms, budget. Stay flexible but prioritize your must-haves. 3. Set a Realistic Timeframe Finding the right home may take time. Be prepared for multiple offers and consider backup plans for lease extensions or home preparations. 4. Work with a Realtor A Realtor can provide invaluable support in this fast-paced market, offering personalized home searches, and expert guidance through the process, including crafting strong offers. 5. Maintain Balance It is very easy to get obsessed with buying your next home. Remember to maintain a balance. Stay hydrated, get your sleep, and take a break from the search once in a while to recharge and reset. Despite the challenges, there are fantastic buying opportunities now. With preparation, persistence, and patience, your new home could be just around the corner! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Buying a Shed? First Define Its Purpose! We showed our clients a beautiful home on acreage in the South Metro. It had everything. The only drawback? They could not decide what to do with the shed. Mind you, this was a 40x60 pole shed, with partial concrete floor, heat, 10 foot doors. A dream. Well, unless you have no idea what you will use it for. I was actually a little jealous. I thought of how simple my life would be if I did not dream daily of what I would do if I had such a space. You may be the same. But if a person is not into cars, doesn’t have tools for a wood shop or metal shop, doesn’t collect extras, then really, the list of needs for a shed does get smaller. I know, I can’t fathom this existence either. Let’s get back to the shed. Not a pole shed, just a standard 10x10, okay, just a standard 12x12. Who are we kidding, right? Let’s start with the reason for the shed. Having a plan will accomplish two things: it will keep you focused on this shed with a purpose vs simply a black hole of junk accumulation. Second, it will help you determine how to design the interior of the shed. Is it a garden shed? Will you need shelving for pots? Wall space for rakes and tools? Or should you design the inside with bike hooks, racks for the paddle board, shelving on one... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Do you ever pass a deserted, dilapidated home and wonder “Who owns that? How did they let it fall apart? ” It is a common, unfortunate sight to see. Often such properties are part of an estate. Or perhaps you own an asset like this? You inherited or somehow acquired it years ago with the best intentions. But time, money, even distance, got in the way. This is actually more common than you may think! This year, as you prep and file taxes, ask yourself: Is this truly an asset? Does it carry good memories? Or has it simply become a burden? Make 2024 the year you decide... and finally move forward!

As you begin to plan, consider these points: How will you handle repairs? Will you be the direct contact or hire a third party? Will you do a background check? Do you have a good resource for this? Are there rental ordinances in your city (are rentals even allowed? ). If this has your head spinning already, this may not be a good route for you to take. If this all seems doable, let’s talk! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Getting preapproved is an important step in your road to owning a home. It is an opportunity to meet with a lender, review your financial situation, and determine what home price works for you. The best lenders (we can provide our recommendations) will walk you through your monthly payments, how much money down you will need, what type of loan is ideal for you, etc. (Did you know that YOU may qualify for a loan, but the home you are interested in may NOT qualify? ) Getting your preapproval in order, making sure your lender has the paperwork he/she needs, will take time, so do this step sooner than later. This will also help when you are in competition when writing an offer. In this fast-moving market, the more prepared you are, in advance, the better! Once you are approved, STAY preapproved! That’s right, what you do AFTER preapproval is just as important as what you did beforehand. Keep paying your bills on time. Resist new credit card applications or using your credit cards overall. Don’t make any large purchases like cars, vacations, even furniture, that may push your credit. Finally, if you were preapproved months ago, now is a good time to take a fresh look at your information. For some buyers, lack of inventory has extended their home search. Talk to your lender about your specific situation. Has your job changed? Have interest rates adjusted in your favor? Do you still have the full down payment amount (or... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog As Winter knocks on our doors, it's time to ensure our homes are ready for the frosty season. One essential but often overlooked task is draining your outdoor faucets. Why is Draining Your Outdoor Faucet Important? When temperatures drop, water trapped in outdoor faucets and pipes can freeze. As water turns into ice, it expands, exerting tremendous pressure on your plumbing. This pressure can lead to cracked pipes, leaks, and costly repairs. Draining your outdoor faucets is a preventive measure that ensures there's no water left to freeze, protecting your plumbing system. How to Drain Your Outdoor Faucet: Turn Off the Water Supply: Begin by locating the shut-off valve, usually found in your basement or crawl space. Turn it off to stop water from flowing to the outdoor faucets. Open the Faucet: Once the water supply is off, go outside and open the faucet. This allows any water remaining in the pipe to escape. Disconnect and Store Hoses: Drain them thoroughly and store them indoors to prevent damage. Insulate Exposed Pipes: If your pipes are exposed, consider insulating them. Pipe insulation, available in foam or fiberglass sleeves, helps retain heat and prevents freezing. Check for Leaks: Periodically check for leaks around your outdoor faucets during winter. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to prevent further damage. This simple winterizing step preserves the integrity of your plumbing system, helping to ensure a smooth start when you turn your faucets back on in the Spring! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog It seems silly at first, I must admit.

Enjoy the Fall Season! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Private Mortgage Insurance: What is it and Can I Get Rid of it? Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is typically required when you make a down payment of less than 20% on a home purchase. It is designed to protect the lender in case you default on your mortgage. The good news is, yes, in most cases, there are steps you can take to drop PMI and save money each month (depending on your loan type)! First, review your mortgage documents or contact your lender to understand the specific requirements for PMI removal. Familiarize yourself with the conditions and timeline for dropping PMI. Second, consider making extra payments. Talk to your lender about the pros and cons of doing this for YOUR situation. Typically, extra payments accelerate the reduction of your loan balance, reaching the 20% equity threshold faster. Third, continue to build equity in your home by remodeling or making home improvements. Call on us for advice on what updates will be substantial enough to make an impact. When you believe you have enough equity to drop the PMI, your lender will request an appraisal on your home. Call us first! We can do a market analysis on your home (for free). This will give you a good idea of your equity position and will help you determine whether or not the ratios work to drop PMI.

Refinance a 30-year mortgage to 15-year. Enjoy a trip of a life-time with the family. Finance your child’s upcoming wedding. Move equity forward to your next home. Remodel the lower level and add a deck. None of the above. All the above. The point is, you have choices on how to utilize your home’s equity. Perhaps too many! Take the time to revisit your own financial and personal goals. Are the priorities you set at an earlier date still in line with the long term plans you set for you and your family? Do they conflict in any way? Talk to your team of advisors. As your Realtors, have us over first, to determine just how much equity you have in your home. Is it what you expected? Will it be the amount you need if and when you need to access it? Go a step further and look at the costs of what you are using the equity for in the first place. Finally, keep in mind that it is okay to go through these steps and do nothing. Sometimes simply knowing you have equity in your home is all the knowledge you need!

Our grocery lists go from easy BBQ menus and road trip snacks to packing lunches and meal planning. Even our shoes adjust from sandals to ‘real shoes’ as we head to school and full work schedules again. Similarly, the market faces transition this time of year, and today is no different. In some areas, it is taking longer for homes to sell, price reductions are common and pending sales are down. Showings have reportedly slowed as well. A correlation to buyers being out of town or at the cabin one more time? Prepping for the first day of school? Perhaps. Either way, it is a transition typical of the month of August. And much like teachers are prepping their classrooms, John and I are busy in the background to make these few weeks of transition easier on our sellers. And for our buyers... we will be part of an exciting decision: Helping to choose the front door worthy of ‘first day of school’ photos for years to come! Savor the Moments!

There is a new initiative calling for investors to sell their rentals in order to help bring inventory to the market. In the works is a call for a federal incentive that would offer temporary capital gains relief for investors who sell to a first-time buyer or first-generation buyer. While appealing, it may not be a fit for all investors. If you are an investor, take a serious look at your entire portfolio. Likely you review this on at least an annual basis already. So you are aware of whether your investments are on track. If they were meant to cash flow by now, are they? If not, why? Is it time to make updates? Do you have solid renters? If your investment is performing as you had planned when you began to grow your portfolio, now likely is not the time to sell. In fact, with a strong rental market, at least in the Midwest, now you may be finally reaping the benefits of the investments you have made. The market, and incentives, will ebb and flow. Remember to stay focused on your own real estate goals. Kristin Beise RE/MAX Advantage Plus --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Temperatures on the rise! ?

Libraries are an excellent way to get out, stay cool, and most of the events are free! Yes, there are book-related events, storytelling, poetry readings. But did you know you can take part in a Lego competition, learn a craft, or join others in a new activity each week? Road trip to a museum.

And since they are not in a hurry to move, they can have fun with the process as they find the perfect fit! Sounds like a luxury to buy a home this way? Stop for a moment to think about what you do when you have time off. Is your favorite date night restaurant clear across town? Do you drive a distance to get to your favorite bike or running trail?

Sound funny? Think about it. There are so many features in a home that can be more or less suited for each of us. John and I pay attention to these details on behalf of our clients. There are times when our clients cannot see a home as soon as it comes on the market. They may have little flexibility at work, or may be moving here from another city or state. Often we will preview a home on behalf of our client(s) to see if the home offers in person what it seemingly offered online and in photos. In one scenario, we had a client who was interested in a particular home. From the photos, however, John could see that something was a little off, and he was right! We previewed the home and noticed important limitation: Although this home boasted an upper level, it had extremely low ceilings. To show our buyer exactly how low, we shot this photo of John at the doorway in the upper level. FYI, John is 6 ft 3 in. Our client's height is about 6ft 8 inches! In another instance, our buyers were moving their whole family to the area. One of the homes they liked had an unfinished lower level they wanted to use as an added living space. That is, until John and I previewed it. The photos hinted at a lower ceiling, but since everything... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog You have been thinking about moving for a long time and finally decided this is the year. Through the decision process, you have also determined that townhome living will be ideal. How nice to not have to worry about upkeep and overall exterior maintenance! But as you narrow down cities and bedrooms, don’t forget to consider how the move may affect your puppy! Did you know that some townhomes do not allow pets at all? Some only allow cats, no dogs. Others allow dogs but limit the number you can have. Still others allow your dogs but have restrictions such as weight and height. The market is moving so fast. If you are in, or about to enter, the townhome market you are well aware of how quickly you need to act! It is rare that you will have time to do too much research about dog restrictions. We strongly recommend you do any of that research in advance! Know which developments within your search criteria have restrictions you can or cannot live with. Also take note of which developments are more pet friendly than others. Some have parks and walking paths made just for walking your dog(s). Consider the access in and out of the townhome units as well. Dog owners prefer some townhome styles over another to make it easier for their pet. Take notice of the access in and out of the home, as well as number of stairs for an older dog.

But what we are really doing in this process is leaving unnecessary clutter behind. As we unpack, we are allowing a fresh start. The storage spaces are empty, and the rooms are a blank canvas. But why should we only experience that joy when we move? Maybe it’s time to take a “new owner” look at your home again! Here are some ideas to get you started! 1. Begin at your front door. Yes, put on your shoes, walk outside, and turn around. What do you see? Home Sweet Home? Or is it time to finally replace the doorknob? The doorbell? Does the door need paint? Simple flowers for color? Make any notes, then proceed inside! 2. Go directly to the Utility Room. When we buy our homes, we have good intentions to keep everything in this room well-maintained. We nod with enthusiasm when the inspector tells us just how to change the furnace filter, the softener salt, etc. It’s time to get back on a schedule. What else in here could use some attention? See any leaks? Create a list. (And change the filter! ) 3. Head to the storage area. Take a serious look at what is here. For some reason we hold on to more than we need until a move.

Call us if you have any questions on this! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog It’s not your imagination! Many home-owners who purchased in the past few years are already moving on. For some, it is buyer remorse: They bought too quickly or didn’t realize the home needed so much work. For others, the move is due to lifestyle changes. Most purchased during the pandemic and a highly competitive market. It will be interesting to see if this is simply a trend or a new standard going forward. --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog More than once in recent weeks, I was told the market is in a downturn. “Haven’t you seen the headlines? ” Of course, I keep up with current news, but wanted to see exactly what they were reading. I combed through the various articles and realized the issue: the data used was not current enough to reflect today’s activity! The reports will catch up soon enough. In the meantime, let’s break this down. Pending Homes: One headline I read stated that pending sales decreased 31. 7%. This surprised me. John and I have felt a much busier market than that! Turns out, that decrease reflects a year over year comparison from Feb 2022 to Feb 2023. A more relevant and encouraging stat to focus on is this: the number of pending homes since January 2023 has doubled! Another indicator that the market is strong, is buyer activity. According to ShowingTime, we saw a 62% jump in showings from December to January. This is one of the largest jumps on record! There were also more showings in January than in any other month since May 2022. Multiple Offers! Yes, these are back and in full force. Expect these in all price points, all areas, all styles of homes. You likely have heard examples of this already. Recently, we submitted an offer on day one and were one of thirteen offers presented. Another client was one of four offers. We will see much more of this as the Spring market continues.

But if you struggle with the month of March in Minnesota, this is the ONLY thing you ever need to know. Let’s face it, March is a tough month. Sure, we brave ‘brisk’ walks in subzero temps, enjoy outdoor events on a sunny day in January or dive deep into the frozen lake for a cause (okay, maybe YOU, that is not a ‘we’). But we have a few snowfalls in March and our resilience fades a little. It’s too warm to have the fish house on the lake. Snowmobile trails look a little rough. And it will be a month before ice out, i. e. , boating season. (Raise your hand if you have set out on your boat to break through the ice! ) I found the answer to surviving March exactly thirty years ago this month. I was working in downtown Minneapolis at the time and found myself roaming the skyways over my lunch hour. I admit my usually upbeat stride was a little slower on that day. That is, until I turned a corner and there in front of me was a stand filled with Tulips! I stood there in awe admiring these joyful, colorful bursts of happiness.

For some, this blissful feeling doesn’t last past the first load of laundry. But why? Why not keep that vacation feeling alive? Here’s how: Color. Do you close your eyes and see the vibrant color and scenery from your getaway? Print your most colorful vacation photos as a reminder. Walgreens even has great canvas options! Flavors. Did you enjoy amazing food? Gather ingredients that bring the taste of vacation to your own table. Keep herbs and fresh veggies on the counter as a colorful reminder to use in this week’s menu! Beverages. No question, coffees, teas, even smoothies taste better on vacation. Designate a spot in your home to convert to a coffee bar, for example.

Thankfully, this interest rate frenzy is leveling out. Just two months in to 2023 and we are already seeing buyers returning to their search. Why? Simply put, they still need to move!

The metro is returning to historic trends for median home price growth. Inventory & Home Prices The Twin Cities’ median home price grew 2. 7 percent despite 19. 3 percent fewer signed contracts. After about three straight years of roughly 10. 0 percent year-over-year price growth, this modest increase is more aligned with the historical average of 3. 2 percent across the region. While price growth is slowing, it remained positive throughout 2022 and this year is expected to continue that trend of moderating growth, barring any unforeseen circumstances. “Anyone concerned about runaway home prices should be comforted by the more typical price growth we’re seeing, which gives buyers a chance to catch their breath and incomes a chance to catch up,” said Brianne Lawrence, President of the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS®. “While the Twin Cities remains a seller’s market, homes are taking longer to sell and sellers are accepting less than their list price. ” Softening buyer activity led to 14. 5 percent more homes on the market at month-end, closing out January with 5,588 units in inventory.

I know that seems obvious for a Realtor but my appreciation goes beyond the business side of what I do. I truly appreciate their spaces, how the sun lights up their rooms, their character, their quirks, and what gives them their unique personality. Once in a while, I come across a feature in a home that makes me wish I could meet the original owner. Or at the very least, the one who made his or her mark on the home (for better or worse! ). Imagine my excitement when my wish came true this Summer – not once but twice! The first time was when a man brought his wife, daughter and granddaughter through my open house. He shared stories like the time his brother tried to push him down the laundry chute in the bathroom. His eyes especially lit up when he explained the built-in desk in the living room. “That was a project for my high school shop class! ” He was far from his teenage years but clearly shared the details of the project, how his teacher was a great mentor, how his dad helped him set the desk in place and so on. It was a joy to hear him relive memories within the walls of his childhood home. Just two weeks later, at another home, I had the pleasure of meeting the previous owners’ daughters and son-in-law! Oh, the memories that poured out! They recalled... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog No question, the market is adjusting. Predictions vary on how long before interest rates level out. If you were considering buying or selling in the next year, it can be overwhelming to sort through the news and know what to do. Markets like this make it even more important to ask this question: What is best for you and your family? Many factors play into this that the news doesn’t account for! Factors such as being unable to climb those stairs, a growing family, a new opportunity in another town or state, all may outweigh what the market is doing! As you consider the pros and cons, your equity, your move, your plan (even if it’s months or years out), please don’t hesitate to call! - Kristin and John Beise, The Right Realtors. (For more on the market, you may appreciate the following post by the Minneapolis Area Realtors... . ) (September 16, 2022) –According to recent data from Minneapolis Area REALTORS® and the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS®, both sales and listing activity were down in August while home price growth has slowed to its lowest level in two years but remains positive. Sellers also accepted lower offers as market times rose. Inventory & Home Prices. The median home price in the Twin Cities reached $369,750 but the year-over-year growth rate is slowing.

But I did not make up the fact that many of us enjoy our home as the ultimate backdrop for documenting this important occasion: The first day of school. Is there any better feeling than that first day? The promise of a fresh new year and the adventure that awaits! But why the photo? Your teenagers likely would explain it is a way for parents to further embarrass or torment their kids. Maybe so. Whatever the reason, these photos certainly tell a great story, don’t they? The progression of height, style, braces or no braces, cute puppies, proud little brothers and sisters. To get the true essence, I went back to my own ‘first day of school’ poses. I admit there was not one for each consecutive year (ahem)! Though I am sure my siblings can attest to the fact that I was likely there at the front stoop waiting for the photo shoot to begin! I LOVED the first day of school! Of course, as I went through the entire photo album, I enjoyed other photos that celebrated the occasions through the years: in costume for Halloween, dressed up for proms, in uniform for basketball games, weddings, on my way to college, and so much more. Wow, it all brought back some fun memories! As I looked through, a common theme struck me – of all... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Are Inspections a Good Idea? Yes! An inspection gives buyers an opportunity to learn about any issues, major or minor, with the home they are buying. Are inspections only for first time home buyers? Absolutely not. A first time home buyer may learn about some basics (like how to change a furnace filter) that will be helpful to him or her. But a buyer who has owned many homes still should take the time to explore the home he or she is considering. Granted, someone who has owned a home may have experience with certain aspects of a home and may have a good idea of what to look for. But each home is unique! Is a Truth in Sale of Housing report the same as an inspection? No. Cities like Minneapolis require a seller to have a Truth in Sale of Housing (TISH) inspection done by a third party, city-approved inspection company. The TISH will look at codes, safety concerns and overall condition. An inspection is performed by an inspection company hired by the buyer for the buyer’s information only. What should I look for in an inspection company? An inspector is not required to have any special credentials to do what he or she does. Ask an inspector/inspection company what experience they have and what their background is. If they are new to the industry, what training have they done or provide for their employees? Ask about the process. Do they provide a report? If so, what does... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Buying Land to Build? Know Your Building Eligibilities You found the perfect acreage in the perfect location. There is a house already on the property, situated close to the road. Of course, the more ideal location for your dream home is the beautiful wooded acreage further in to the property. So you decide to keep the existing home as a rental. No problem? Well, not so fast. Many rural areas have rules about how many buildings, specifically single dwellings, can actually exist on the property. Often, land has one eligibility. This means that if there is already a home on the property, that home is using the existing eligibility. In order to build a new home in the woods, you need to tear down the existing home, therefore releasing the eligibility, and reassign the eligibility to the new home. Who do you ask for more information? You can start with the city the property is located in. Typically in rural areas, however, this type of permitting question is handled by the county instead. Each area, city, county is different! It is best to call the appropriate office for help and explanation.

But after being home more and possibly even working from home, you are just feeling it needs a lift. Here are a few tips to freshen things up! Assess the uses of the space. Yes, literally walk through your entire home and really pay attention to how each room, hallway, or storage space are being used. Is the mud room filled with old coats you don’t wear? Has the ‘craft room’ become some sort of mixed use of exercise room, junk gathering, storage space? Things have changed since the pandemic. We may have less of a need for the guest room and more of a need for a designated office space. Clean and Clear out. Even if all your rooms are perfectly assigned, chances are they have gotten a little cluttered. Clean out every corner of each room. Throw out the games you brought out during the holidays that were missing pieces. Find new homes for the keyboards you collected until you found the right one. You get the idea! Call the carpet cleaner. Now that the rooms are cleared out, consider getting your floors cleaned. If you used to only do this when you hosted big events... . and big events are happening less frequently if at all... . okay, it may be time to clean the floors! A fresh coat of paint.

But the truth is, the timing is not quite right for you. Or perhaps COVID factors affected your original plan. If you decide you are staying put for now, there are things you can do to be ready for a future sale. Spend your efforts on getting your home ready. It is okay to start simple! Consider going through the closets first. Or go room by room. Start clearing out any items that you really don’t use. If you have an idea of what you will move into or where, you can determine how much to keep and how much to donate or discard. Get advice from Realtors. Now is a good time to get a sense of your home in today’s market. Is it comparable? Are there things you can do, small or large, to better position your home? Assess Condition. Really take a hard look at your home. Is the back deck a hazard? Could you use a handrail on the front stairs? Is there a perpetual leak in the shower? Make a list. Even something as simple as a new front door knob can make a huge difference on presenting your home in its best light. Major Remodeling. Before starting any major remodeling, consider the return on that investment.

Take this time to decide what you are looking for in a move (More space? Bigger yard? A new city altogether? ). Determine what area you are moving to. Explore. On your time off, drive to the cities you have considered. Enjoy their shops or their local farmers markets, for example. Work on getting your finances in order. Pay down debt and be more deliberate about saving. Learn what makes sense to pay off and what doesn’t. Go one step further and talk to a lender. This will help you learn what it takes to buy and what closing costs to expect. Creating a plan will keep you focused and on track for when the time is right. On a side note, if you know that you will be buying in the near future, there are some opportunities to seize with caution. Major purchases like a new boat or a new ride may adjust your debt-to-income ratio. A new job can also affect your qualifying. A conversation with your lender can put this in perspective for you. By Kristin Beise, RE/MAX Advantage Plus --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog “It’s a Sellers’ Market! ” That may be mostly true, but it doesn’t mean that being a seller is without its challenges! So where do you begin? Determine timing. You have already decided to sell in 2022. But when? After your high school senior graduates? Before next Fall? Keep in mind that if you have been advised to wait for the proverbial Spring market, that can start as early as February. Weather permitting. Did you have outdoor prep to finish before your home is ready? Any last minute painting? Did a heavy snow damage gutters or trees? Take a critical view of your exterior. It may be worth waiting for a warmer day to get those things fixed. Balancing Showings with Working from home. Be prepared for multiple showings as soon as your home is active on the market. Can you find an alternative work place? Do you need to request all showings after a certain time of day? If so, know the pros and cons of these types of restrictions. What’s your next move? While it is exciting to be a seller in a low inventory market, this is a challenge when a seller becomes a buyer in that same market. Be realistic. If you are buying, consider finding your NEXT home and THEN selling. If you can afford to buy first, that may give you more flexibility. Some of our sellers were creative: stay at the cabin in between, move in to the home of a friend who... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Congratulations! You have decided that 2022 is the year to buy a home! You know what price, general area, and overall style you are looking for. But you still may be apprehensive. That is understandable considering the stories you may have heard about the 2021 market. So how can you stay on track? First, follow facts, not rumors. Consider others’ advice with a grain of salt but stay your course. Know your numbers. Work with your lender so that you know what monthly payment you are comfortable with. Buyers who do this last minute, or while deciding to write an offer, may miss out completely. Be prepared for multiple offers. There are many components of an offer such as the closing date or inspection timeframes. A multiple offer scenario does not necessarily mean you have to add thousands of dollars to the offer! Understand your options (and don’t be afraid of multiples). Navigate through low inventory. In other markets, buyers had the advantage of seeing quite a few homes and the luxury of time to compare the options. In this market, this is harder to do. Utilize your resources to really know each home that fits your search. That will make it easier to know the right home when you see it! Stay true to your search. It is easy to get caught up in the lack of options and get anxious.

How ironic that even as a kid, I knew the staircase to be central to our home. Not just any staircase! It was made up of three flights of stairs that went from the third floor to the main floor (it had to handle a house for 12 kids). It was large and the backdrop to many wonderful memories. It was also perfect for Slinkys! And I remember that if you stood at the WAY top, you could drop a rubber ball and compete as to whose bounced the most and made it the furthest. But at Christmas, the staircase was something else. It was the magical pathway to Santa! You see, on Christmas Day, we were not allowed to be the first one to go downstairs in the morning. Instead, we had to wait for everyone else before we could open our stockings! As second to the youngest and filled with excitement, you can imagine this was not easy to do! Slowly we would gather at the top of the stairs, in our jammies, sleepy-eyed, talking and laughing (of course loud enough to wake anyone who had the nerve to sleep in ? ? ? ? ). Then, when the moment was finally right, and everyone had congregated, mom and dad would greet us from the base of the stairs and share the good news: Santa had come and the stockings were filled and ready for us to open!

How can one market offer so many different outlooks? The data itself has a lot to do with it. Specifically, some stats are comparing today’s numbers with 2020 numbers. Others are comparing the numbers to 2019 with the disclaimer that “2019 was a more normal year in real estate. ” That being said, you likely can sense a slight shift in the market right now. I saw a post comparing it to a vehicle decelerating to 120mph from the 150mph speed we saw all Summer. Still going well over the speed limit, just not as fast. For buyers this is actually a positive shift. Buyers now have more than 24 hours to schedule a tour, see the home, write an offer. There is still good competition, but instead of 43 buyers vying for the same home, there can be as few as 3 (depending on the area). For buyers, that can mean that their offer has a higher chance of being accepted. Keep in mind, too, buyers are tired. They have been rushing to see homes, have written at least two or as many as 10 other offers. Some buyers have left the market temporarily just to regroup! Others will return next Spring, using these next months to improve their overall financial picture. What does... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Take a moment to look at the graph in this post provided by the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. It shows that in August of 2007, the median number of days a home was on the market was 86 days. In 2008, it was 97 days. Wow! We could not help but recall what the market was like back then! Imagine it taking over three months for the right buyer to come along! In contrast, last month the average days on market was 22 days (median 10 days)! If you talk to any seller, 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months, can all feel like too long when you want to sell and move on. By the way, our record time to sell a home was a mere 3 HOURS. ? ? ? ?

Kristin Beise RE/MAX Advantage Plus --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Equity Opportunities Still Exist! No doubt, the market is moving fast right now. Yes, it is considered a seller’s market. Yes, low inventory and high demand are driving prices up. But that does not mean there are not opportunities to buy a home and build equity! As in any market, a buyer first needs to decide why they are buying a home and making a move in the first place. If the goal is to buy a home to build equity, those opportunities exist in any market. There are factors to consider: Is the home priced appropriately considering its condition and location, etc. ? Or has the seller been a little ‘over- zealous’ on price in the current market? Determine what the home will need in order to build the equity you seek. Does the home need major remodeling? The projects that provide the best return on your investment are usually a kitchen or bathroom remodel, or adding a bathroom or a 3rd or 4th bedroom (5th bedrooms don’t yield the same numbers). Or does the home simply need cosmetic improvements like paint, flooring, countertops, new decking? Decide what you can do on your own or what will need to be hired out. Know your numbers! Ask your Realtor to do a market analysis on the home as if your projects have been completed on your home. Are you purchasing this home as your own residence? Or will this be a relatively quick project before bringing the home on the... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Writing Contingent? Focus in on Photos! That's right! If you are writing an offer contingent on the sale of your home, this is just one way to make your offer stand out! There is a lot of competition out there. With inventory of homes at an all-time low, more buyers are going after the same few homes that hit the market. That can be frustrating for buyers as they consider how to present an offer that stands out to the seller. Yes, the stories you are hearing are true. There are offers being written well over asking, no inspections, appraisal gap coverage, even sight unseen offers. How can you compete with these? And what if you need to make an offer contingent on the sale of your current home? First consider what a seller questions when they see a contingent offer: What condition is your home in today? Is your home ready for the market or are there ‘last minute’ projects that may take some time? What price will you be asking for your home? Is it realistic? What they want to know with a contingent offer is whether or not to take the chance on your home selling when they may have another offer that does not have that hurdle to overcome. So why not do what you can to alleviate some of the seller’s anxieties about your offer? Show them exactly what your home features! As part of your offer, send them the link to your professional photos.... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog I just watched a great presentation about our real estate market!

You quickly learn that you are not the only buyer writing an offer on this home. You are now in competition and need to make a competitive offer. You have heard that some buyers are waiving their right to an inspection to win offers. As a buyer you have that right. But do you know what it is you are really waiving? Although some believe inspections are designed to create a laundry list of tasks for the seller to fix, that is not the original intention of an inspection. Inspections are meant for you to have an opportunity to take a closer look at the home: Roof, mechanicals, foundation, electric, plumbing, and so on. Radon tests are often conducted during this inspection period. Some things our buyers would not have discovered but for an inspection? The fact that there was an undisclosed fire in the attic and the rafters were completely charred (how long will it last with heavy MN snow? ). Not a single window opened properly. A new construction home had an attic sealed prior to ANY insulation being added (how did that pass the initial city inspection when new? ). The list goes on. An inspection allows a buyer to know what he/she is facing. Are there any safety concerns? What will need to be addressed immediately? What will need to be addressed in 3 – 5 years?

A race to schedule showings. Homes selling within hours of hitting the market. It can be overwhelming! And for some buyers, it may actually be moving too fast. Does this mean you should put your buying dreams on hold? No. But you can do a few things to be prepared for what lies ahead. 1. Know Your Numbers Congratulations. You are approved. But do you really know your numbers? Do you need the seller to contribute to your closing costs? How much can you put down? Will the strength of your approval position you ahead of the competing offers? Is your lender a well known and reputable company? Is there any room for offering more than asking price if necessary? The more you know this in advance, the more confident you can be in your offer price! 2. Stay True to Your Wish ListRemember the reason you wanted to make the move in the first place. In a busy market, it can be easy to get so caught up in what home is available rather than what home is the right fit. Yes, it is important to be flexible when possible. But don’t lose sight of what is important to you: School district? Yard? Number of bedrooms? Proximity to a dog park? Staying within a certain budget? Know what is a “must have” and what can be adjusted. 3. Set a... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Kristin & John In The Community Thank You to Our Generous Donors and Volunteers!

If you (understandably) put things off last year or postponed major decisions, this is the year! And if you had thoughts about real estate, in the long or short term, 2021 promises to offer interesting options for you! As the year unfolds, interest rates, a new administration, high demand and low supply, will all present their own challenges. It is not uncommon to have hurdles in the world around us. That makes it important to consider what is best for YOU and your situation and then plan accordingly. Let’s break this down:Buying Today: Interest rates are at record lows. This creates greater buying power for buyers right now. Example: A buyer may qualify for a home priced at $260,000 at today's rates. If rates go up 2 percentage points, that same buyer may only be able to afford a home priced at $210,000. A good reason to buy now. (Next Blog: How Buyers Can Prepare for Today's Fast Moving Market).

Yes! Even as we are in the midst of the Holiday Season, the market is still going strong! Who is in the market? The family that thought a three bedroom was perfect until they realized they need a fourth bedroom for a home office. Or the couple who has been looking for a home for a while and inventory is keeping them on the hunt for the perfect fit. The young professional who has decided that if he/she is working from home well into 2021, the home setting needs to be improved a bit! This motivation to move is typical. Upsizing, Downsizing, adjusting to the family’s needs. But the timing is not! This year, many buyers realized deep into the Fall months that the new normal is here to stay. There is good reason to be optimistic about this market as we head into 2021. We may be in the middle of a recession but remember, it is not a housing driven recession as it was in 2010. Only a very small percentage of mortgages are in forbearance as we close out the year. Much of that is job related, not a decrease of home values. In fact, home values are increasing as demand stays strong. Rates continue to remain extremely low! This allows a little more buying power for buyers.

We couldn’t meet in person, so we held Zoom meetings instead. No large groups could gather so we hosted virtual fund raisers or even postponed big events. The point is, we figured out how to adapt. Real estate was no different. How showings happened, how sellers allowed access to their homes, and how closings were conducted, were all quite different than in past years. Once again, I learned we are a resilient bunch! As we look ahead, we are excited about what 2021 holds for the real estate industry. For now at least! We will be watching interest rates, inventory and the overall impact of COVID 19 and the recent election on the economy. Not knowing what is to come will make it that much more important to have a back-up plan or two or three! What we do know is this: the industry and its purpose are returning to its roots. In a great way. This past year, agents have embraced the old-fashioned art of networking with fellow agents again. Our clients had time to really talk about their plans so that we could help them decide whether it’s best to move, refinance or even remodel & stay put!

In fact, most buyers and sellers are realizing they need to make some long-term changes to adjust to the new normal. A home now must act as an office, a classroom, the gym, a movie theatre and the weekend getaway. So how does this translate into the list of what a home must have? Here are a few things we are personally observing these days: Office Space. Most homes easily accommodated a laptop on a dining room table or on the deck with your feet up. While that worked back in March, now home owners prefer one, possibly two, designated offices (doors preferred! ). Homework Space. Now that kids are distance learning, all at different times, certainly at various levels, the current setups no longer work. Families need space that can be defined as learning areas throughout the day. This often leads to another need: larger or additional bedrooms. In the past, families have told us “the bedrooms don’t need to be that big. All the kids do is sleep in there anyway! ” This has certainly changed. Added Flex Rooms. In the past, home owners would be willing to forego certain needs that could be done outside the home instead. They would head to the gym for a work out, go to the theatre to see a movie, meet friends at the local pub. Homes with flex rooms allow a family to... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog I hate to brag, but I believe my parents invented the Staycation. I know, I know, you think people have been doing this for years. But have they? Can you honestly go back to 1980 and remember anyone doing a Staycation back then? I rest my case. These wonderful Staycations were most often just the four of us: me, my mom, dad, and younger sister. This is important as there are 12 kids in my family. Yet only the two youngest were treated to these mini getaways. My siblings may tell you something about us being spoiled. I think the truth is they quickly thought of the possibilities of a weekend on their own without parents or their youngest sisters around. Either way, I can tell you it was their loss. One of the more memorable Staycations was when I was about 11 years old and my sister was about 8. The four of us each packed a small bag and headed off. The destination was a hotel on the opposite side of the Potomac River from downtown Washington DC (where I was born and raised). To get there, we took the Subway which only added to the adventure.

I had never thought as much about that word as I have in the last two months. I went to Merriam-Webster online to find many meanings for this word (https://www. merriam-webster. com/dictionary/distance#h3). Did you know the word distance can be a noun, verb and an adjective? There are not many words that accomplish this! * In reading the various definitions, I quickly realized that we are all going through various stages of this word right now. As a noun, distance is defined as the quality or state of being distant. As a verb, it is defined “to make or maintain a personal or emotional separation from; to place or keep at a distance. ” You are especially aware of it’s meaning as an adjective. Think distance learning or distance education, terms that may not have been in your regular vocabulary just a few months ago! However defined, DISTANCE is our new world. Honoring this word is why we cannot invite friends to get together, sit inside a restaurant, hug loved ones at a funeral, or celebrate the small or large occasions of life together. When you think too hard about it, some days this may feel more like a four-letter word than anything else!

Prior to each recent buyer meeting we first addressed our clients’ comfort level of meeting. In our new environment, one buyer chose to ‘meet’ via phone. Another wanted to meet physically at a home they liked. A third was in person in a large conference room. In each, we accommodated what each buyer needed from us, obviously keeping safety and social distancing front of mind! Sellers, too, have varying needs. Some have decided to hold off selling at this time. Yet on Wednesday we are listing a home. To prepare, our seller first had the home professionally cleaned. John and I walked through the home, without the seller, to measure, reposition certain furniture and prep the home for photos. John and I will walk through the home in advance to ensure all the lights are on, towels straight and home presented well. The photographer will be at the home, without us or the seller, and will be mindful not to touch any items, light fixtures or door handles in the home. In addition to a traditional photographer, we are bringing in a 3D photographer. This interactive tour is designed to make... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Each new week brings out new adjustments to how we all conduct our business and daily lives. Real estate is no exception. So what has changed... . and what has not. Note: As of this blog, March 30th, Real Estate is still considered an essential business. Open Houses. These are not being conducted. Rather early on, these slowed to a halt. In fact, the MLS has made it so that agents cannot even enter these postings. Showings. These have seen a big change. They are still happening but with an entirely new twist. In the past, sellers would make their homes “show ready” such as: turn on all the lights, clean, and put out a fresh bowl of lemons or fresh flowers. And then there were the cookies. Who can resist buying a home that smells of freshly baked cookies and a sweet note from the sellers saying “Help yourselves! We are so happy you are here! ” Well, the times have certainly changed. Consider a recent showing we did. Instead of the sweet scent of “buy this house” we were greeted with a small table in the front foyer. On it was a note from the seller, a box of protective gloves, booties and sanitizer. The instructions were clear about how to use the protective gear and what not to touch in the house. Quite a different way to welcome in a buyer, but necessary in these new times! Touring Homes. Typically we would show a buyer 3 or... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog I am sure you have a lot of questions about what is going on around us at it relates to real estate. Last week we were optimistic and that has not changed! For now, the market is actually staying rather active! In most areas in the Twin Cities, new listings are coming on the market daily and homes are being sold every day. Though we have not seen it yet, the expectation is that the market will hit a pause. The hope is that once we can ride out the virus, things will return to ‘normal. ’ What we do not know is the timing. We also do not yet know the impact that any job layoffs may have. John and I are keeping very close tabs on the messages sent out from our local, state and national real estate organizations. Our broker is doing live broadcasts to our 450 + agents with updates. Last week we participated in a webinar held by real estate professionals nationwide about the impact of COVID-19 and what to expect. We are closely monitoring the local market. We continue to stay in touch with our clients and determine what makes sense for them, personally, in the coming weeks. Our sellers are still on track, our buyers are still waiting for the right home to hit the market. Admittedly, we do have a few clients who are adjusting what they are buying (add another bedroom to our search! ) but few have changed their plans... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog COVID-19, Real Estate 2020 & You: The Right Realtors Offer Some Insight COVID-19: So where are you today? Literally, physically, mentally? Secretly happy you have enough canned goods and supplies to survive for months? Wondering why there is a rush on grocery stores? Or somewhere in between? Personally, I oscillate between worrying about the fate of all humankind (too many Terminator movies! ) to laughing at Facebook memes and grateful for the comic relief. Somewhere in there is the truth and reality of what is happening. If only we all had the proverbial crystal ball to know what the future will bring. Wait. Perhaps we do. We cannot know WHERE we will be in a few months. But we can certainly choose WHO we will be. This will obviously be different for all of you. For me, it means reaching out, being there for those who want to cry or laugh, sing praises not the blues, calling those in lockdown, and genuinely being good to my family, friends and community. John and I are on the other end of the phone if you need us! REAL ESTATE 2020: It would be naïve of us to say that the Coronavirus won’t have an effect on the real estate market. But to what degree? We cannot know the extent of company layoffs which would likely slow down the market. However, two factors will offer a strong defense against the virus: Low interest rates and continued low inventory. Our buyers need to purchase... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog It is no secret that existing home inventory is low. This shortage extends to many types of buyers, including those looking for a home on acreage. It can be hard to find the right mix: A little acreage, perfect setting, a nice home, an added outbuilding and all at a reasonable price. As buyers consider the perfect combination, they may start to consider finding the ideal land first, and THEN build their dream home. Is this the right path for you? Here are some questions to ask yourself as you consider this as an option. Finding the Land. As you consider land, keep your price in check. Loosely consider that the price of the land is usually 25% of the whole build package. What are you looking for in the land? How will you use the acreage around you? Is your dream to have your kids build forts in the ‘forest’ in the back? Four wheeling? Install a pool? Knowing this will help as you look for location. Planning out the Land. Is there already city sewer and water in the street? Or will this land need its own well and septic? Are there multiple spots to allow for septic and still fit your home’s build pad, shed, driveway? Finding a Builder. Is this land open to builders? Do you have a builder in mind? Consider your options and contact trusted resources to find a builder that fits the style, price and general location you are looking for. Some builders... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog Is there a scent that will guarantee the sale of your home and increase the price you get? Some scents, while appealing to a seller, may be distracting to a buyer and actually have the opposite effect! Studies suggest you are better off with a faint Windex smell vs baked goods. The reason is that most will equate that smell to a clean house! Yet this time of year a seller could truly welcome the buyer with freshly baked holiday cookies... and even leave some out for the buyer to enjoy! Not the baking type? No problem! Especially this time of year! Fresh cut pine and a warm and cozy home can go a long way in making a buyer feel welcome. The intention is to make the buyer feel “this is the one – this is home! ” When they sense a good feeling, THAT is what will bring more cents for a seller than all the scents! --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog It all starts innocently enough. Your kitchen faucet is starting to leak. You don’t think much of it. It may be simply spray from cleaning up the kitchen. It starts to get worse. By now you have water pooling under the sink. You have determined that the problem is the “O” ring for the spray pullout. Phew! That will be an easy thing to handle for you DIYers. Regardless, no time to deal with it now! You grab a bucket and say out loud you will be back to fix this later tonight. Work gets busy, kids’ schedules ramp up, and slowly that bucket is over-flowing, water is pooling and starting to wander to new crevices where it doesn’t belong. If not dealt with, this has the potential to soak into and warp flooring, cabinets, and soon enough damage the ceiling in the room below. Panicking yet! ? Sadly, we see many homes that have costly damage that could have been averted if properly fixed right away. And the initial solution would have been a fraction of the replacement cost! For example: A compromised wax seal around a toilet is a common culprit for water damage yet it only costs $8. Lack of caulk around your bathtub is another culprit for costly damage, yet a tube of caulk is just $3-4! Repairing the damage done can be thousands of dollars! Investing time and minimal dollars now can prevent these major costs in the future. In the case of the kitchen... --- - Categories: Beise Real Estate, Blog What a great time!

It is not every day that you have an opportunity to make a contribution to your community – especially one that will last for many years to come! In November, The Right Realtors were part of the transplanting of a living tree to its new home at Veteran’s Plaza in Mound (located West of the parking ramp). The tree was initiated at this year’s 35th annual Tree Lighting event. If you have seen it, you may wonder why it has a wooden frame supporting its lights. Don’t worry, this is temporary and simply a way to protect the branches of this freshly transplanted tree. We were part of a collaboration between Westonka Community & Commerce, the City of Mound, Concept Landscaping (who sold us the tree) and North Fork Tree Farm of Delano (who moved the tree). The Right Realtors and Colin Charlson of State Farm Insurance proudly sponsored the move. A special thanks to everyone involved, including those who made the annual Tree Lighting event a success for 35 years! Stop by after dark to see the lights!

Sellers do all they can to create an inviting home from cleaning every surface to clearing out the clutter. They add a scent to make the buyer feel even more at home. The trick is to find that ideal, universal scent that everyone loves. Unfortunately, this is a difficult balance! To one buyer, recently cut lilac is a beautiful aroma. To another, a strong fragrance that triggers allergies. Air fresheners that pretend to be the smell of a cool mountain breeze may be too much like a perfume and give some buyers a headache. Even the efforts of baking fresh cookies before the showing can backfire! I will never forget arriving at a showing and this note was taped to the front door: “Made cookies ... and burnt them – so sorry! Burnt smell not include in sale of home. Thank you for understanding! ” Apparently, the sellers were so busy picking up for the showing that they forgot about the cookies in the oven! Believe me, we could smell those cookies outside, inside, and all around us! So, what is a seller to do? First do a good hard clean of the home. Sensitive noses can still smell the cat litter or garbage odors despite any air fresheners used to mask it. Refrain from cooking foods with strong, lingering smells. Keep the air circulating in the home (utilize your all-house fan,... --- --- ## Testimonials - Testimonial Category: Reviews I can’t speak highly enough about our experience with John and Kristen in purchasing property “up north! ” While it is clear they are beloved by so many in our community, they still somehow make you feel like you’re a top priority, always available and responsive when you need them. Our interactions felt much more like walking through a big life event with supportive friends vs a business transaction, though they are very thorough, clear & knowledgeable every step of the way. Its obvious they love their jobs and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Beises! Gretchen and Wayde F. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews We have worked with John and Kristin on multiple real estate transactions and they are absolutely the best. Excellent communication, real feedback on the state of the market and properties we have been interested in. We have always felt like we were in the best of hands! Missy G. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews I would highly recommend Kristin and John to anyone! They are extremely friendly and great to work with, I enjoyed working with them through every step of my home purchase process. They genuinely care about their clients and where they end up - extremely happy with my new home and will be referring all my friends and family to Kristin and John! Logan J. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews My wife and I always had a dream to live on the lake and our journey began 23 years ago. Having a family of three we wondered how we could make it in a one bedroom condo, that didn’t work for long. We met John and Kristin at an open house and we’re delighted with the energy they both brought to the table and knowing that John was from the area we knew they were the (Right Realtors) for us. They both have a wealth of fantastic knowledge and expertise and that’s what we were looking for in a realtor. They were very accessible available for questions or concerns we had along the way. They helped us find just the right house in 2003 which was perfect for raising three kids. Just recently we found a townhouse on the lake and they went above and beyond to write an offer late at night - and helped us get our house on the market quickly. They are truly amazing, hard working and a dedicated team. Ryan and Sarah --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews Kristin and John were very attentive to my needs and desires as to the type of home I wanted to purchase. They were both friendly, even cheerful, as they worked with me. I never felt that I was 'too small' of a client to be worth their focused attention and was never pressured to buy the most expensive house that I could afford. On the other hand, they always discouraged me from spending too much on a house that clearly needed extensive work. They were both wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them! Steve R. --- We were a bit nervous buying a home since our last experience was not as easy as it could have been, but the Beise team is AMAZING! We're so grateful that this time the home buying process was so smooth. We're appreciative and in awe of their knowledge, patience with us, and expertise along the way. It was fun, exciting, and enjoyable. Genuinely, I'm not sure this journey could have been in better hands. We 5 star recommend them as dozens of others have as well! They really know their stuff and are looking out for your best interest. Ciarra and Sebastian --- John and Kristin did an awesome job taking on the challenge of listing and getting our house sold during the holidays. Their expertise came in very handy with a difficult situation that came up shortly before closing and saved us thousands of dollars and untold headaches. I recommend them to anyone looking to get their home sold or in the buying market! Wade and Aleigha --- I recently had the pleasure of working with Beise Realtors (Kristin & John) to sell my Lake Minnetonka home in January, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the beginning, their team showcased professionalism, expertise, and a deep understanding of the real estate market. Kristin was able to create and position a vision/theme for prospective buyers on why my home was so perfect for anyone seeking a lakeside retreat! John was highly skilled at working his local community networks to drive traffic to open houses and showings. Together, they provided insightful advice on pricing and staging, which significantly contributed to a smooth selling process. Their communication was impeccable, keeping me informed at every step and promptly addressing any questions or concerns. Thanks to their dedication and strategic marketing efforts, my home sold quickly and at a great price. I highly recommend Beise Realtors for anyone looking to sell their Lake Minnetonka property with confidence. Cindy H. --- When my husband and I were looking to sell our first home, we had no idea how the process worked, or where to begin in our realtor search. John & Kristin were highly recommended by a friend who had worked with them on multiple occasions. We were so grateful for the referral. John & Kristin were wonderful to work with through the entire process. They are professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond, caring, and fun to work with. We enjoyed working with John & Kristin and would absolutely recommend them. Stacy and Dave --- John and Kristin made buying our first house so easy and such a fun experience. They respond so fast to any text, call or email. Have answers for any questions. What I appreciate the most is they will not try convince you to buy a house, you can see that they find joy in their clients finding a house they love not just a house that would work. I am not sure how they do it but they are always available when you need them to be. I can’t recommend them more! 10/10, A+, 5 stars! Natalie and Reed --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristin are amazing! ! They understood what we wanted before we did. Highly recommend! ! Julia and Riley --- John & Kristin were extraordinary to work with beginning to end! We were referred to John & Kristin by several family members that have also had positive experiences with them both. John & Kristin created a welcoming environment of zero pressure, knowledge in various areas of the industry, years of experience and extensive resources of anything and everything unimaginable. They are kind, ethical, extremely professional, organized and helped us think outside of the box exploring all options. We were out of the State which presented its own set of complications, but John and Kristin always prioritized our concerns, answered all of our questions extensively and most importantly always had our best interest in mind. No matter how big or small your budget may be they will help you clearly outline and guide you from point A to Z @ your pace. We learned so much thru out this process and would undoubtedly recommend them to anyone and everyone we know! We love our new community/second home and are in absolute gratitude to you both! Ryan & Kathleen --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews I don't think you'd find a realty team as honest, compassionate and trustworthy as John and Kristin Beise. They have helped me sell two properties and buy two properties over the past 15 years. During my two purchases, John and Kristin listened to what I wanted, and respected the top price I was willing to go to when showing me properties. On the sales of two properties, they priced the properties appropriately, and my most recent house sold in one day. John and Kristin were always there to answer any questions in a professional manner. If you're looking to buy or sell a property, I'd highly recommend John and Kristin Beise, The Right Realtors. Vicki W. --- We have been working with Kristin and John for over a decade. To say the least there are many reasons they’re our realtors. From the beginning, they navigated us through the unknown of buying our first home. Not only did they spend countless hours showing us all the possibilities, but found us our perfect starter home. We spent 12 wonderful years in that beautiful home until we were ready to move forward and build our dream home. We were hesitant to build at first but Kristin and John listened to our needs and found the perfect lot to call ours. This doesn’t go without mentioning countless hours looking to make sure it was the right fit for us and again looking at all the possibilities. Now that we have closed and are finally settling in, I look back at the process with a grateful heart. There were several instances the builders/ design team/ title company mentioned that realtors are usually not apart of this process, but they were there for every step and milestone making sure it was done right. Not a lot of people can say they trust their realtors but we are fortunate to say we can. We highly recommend if you do have the opportunity to work with Kristin and John to seize it. Their dedication, loyalty, experience, and friendly work ethic does not go unnoticed. We know for a fact if you work with them, you would not be disappointed. Like I said, just a few... --- We originally met John and Kristin in 2011 when contemplating a move to MN. We recently had the opportunity to relocate again and reached out to them. It was like no time had passed! They are incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of the process; houses, neighborhoods, communities, and they make it super fun! If you don’t have them help you find your home you are missing out! ! Thank You John and Kristin! ! ! Tammy G. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews This was our first experience selling a home and we are so grateful to have found John and Kristin. They made the process as easy as possible, explaining the details along they way. From the minute they walked into our house they saw the potential. And they are pros at communicating that potential to buyers and getting us the right match. Highly recommend! Ann and Sean --- We worked with Kristin and John. They were absolutely excellent. They paid attention to every detail, and that was the main reason we had a successful close. Even post close they helped us several times in providing market data, contractor recommendations, and business advice. We will definitely use them again, and really appreciate all they’ve done for us. Bill and Teena D. --- Kristin and John helped us a lot finding our first home, they’re the best! They’re very thorough, have a good dynamic in between them with different strengths, and are very respectful of your concerns and needs when it comes to finding a home. They quickly get to know what you’re looking for and why, and if needed they can help you understand all and everything about the process of buying a home. Robert and Maija --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews Our appreciation for the work that John and Kristin did for us began when we realized that they know this area well because they live here and are active members of the community. They were never dismissive about our sometimes random ideas of what our house should be, and they expertly helped us find a home. When there were a few problems with the builder, John and Kristin were quick to defend our point of view and were active in any negotiations that had to take place. But their help did not end at closing. Both of them had interesting suggestions for upgrades and storage solutions in our new home, they helped put us in contact with the workers we needed, and we are very happy with the results. Having worked with other realtors in the past, John and Kristin were by far the most willing to listen, express their honest opinions, and support us through every step of the process. Exceptional! Jan and Lowell --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews Kristin & John truly are the Right Realtors! It felt like they knew what we wanted before we did. They showed us so many homes and stood by us through thick and thin. They even dreamed with us about our future. They really took the time to get to know us & we truly appreciate all of their effort. They really went the extra mile for us. If/when we ever sell we will be calling John & Kristin. We ended up in a home that is perfect for us! Highly recommend! - Lenah and Kyle --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews We met Kristin at an open house when we were just starting our homebuying journey 5 years ago. John and Kristin were so good and so patient working with us newbies - they helped us find exactly what we needed at the time. Fast forward to spring of 2021 and we now have twin 3-year-olds and a need for more space. And of course it's the craziest real estate market of my lifetime and we are in the middle of a pandemic. What could go wrong? We were really glad we had someone we could trust to call in for help. They navigated everything expertly, coaching us into making a more aggressive/competitive offer but allowing us the space to come to that decision on our own. Kristin knew just the right buttons to push to get our offer accepted. Then when we were going to put our existing home on the market they gave us all the right tips to show it properly. Super helpful in securing a fast and generous offer. I would highly recommend John and Kristin for either side of the transaction. - Alfredo and Rachel --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristin were the most supportive and caring realtors I have ever met. They value themselves on honesty and on always acting in the best interests of their clients. I have worked with them for the last four years and they have been nothing, but straightforward which is something I needed direly. If you’re looking for a friendly, fun, and a ‘put your mind at ease’ realtor duo, look no more! Thank you again to John and Kristin for helping me find my forever home. - Ann --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristin are the best in the business. Their knowledge of the market is unrivaled, but their knowledge runs a lot deeper than just the real estate market. They were able to point out advantages and disadvantages of homes on a much deeper level, from construction quality to livability to future expansion/remodel possibilities. They were incredibly patient with us over our nearly two year search, and were as passionate as we were about finding our perfect home in a challenging market. I can't even count how many houses they walked through with us all over the Twin Cities metro area, often times on just a few hours notice. Early on in the process, they walked through the home we would be selling and offered great advice on changes we could make to maximize the value of the house. We were repeat customers, and won't hesitate to work with them again. Whether you're buying, selling, or both; look no further than John and Kristin! - Cliff and Shannon --- Kristin and John are consummate professionals. They were timely and specific with their advice, responsive to our many questions, and patient as we mulled over choices. We loved working with them and were pleased with the experience of selling our previous house and delighted with our new one. Kathleen --- We had an amazing experience working with the Beise’s. They are very knowledgeable and not only about the market and what’s happening but were invaluable in educating us on fixer upper tips! They were very patient with us, we thought we knew exactly what we wanted but most of the “must haves” we laid out are not at all what we actually needed. Through our trials they listened to all our or critiques, concerns, and anxieties they noted what we were finding important and took us out of comfort zone and showed up houses we wouldn’t have looked at. That being said one of those houses we now live in and call home. We are so in love with our house and thankful that we had the Beise’s, who care enough to listen to us and are knowledgeable in the field to be able to see what we couldn’t. They still check in on our progress since we wanted a house we could fix into our home. They reach out on our birthdays and holidays. They are people who truly care about you not as a client but as a person. They are never pushy or impatient. They are professional, punctual and personable. We had lots of fun, were educated, and felt so comfortable around them. They answered the phone day or night and fought so hard for us. We wouldn’t never want to buy a home with anyone else! And hopefully we won’t have to because we are so... --- John & Kristin were an absolute joy to work with. As first time Home buyers and having strict needs, they were so accommodating to us. The biggest thing was how responsive they were and how fast they were able to set tours. I would recommend them to any friends or family without a doubt! I can’t thank them enough for their hard work. Abby and Trevor --- Kristen and John sold us our home some years back and now they sold it for us. They go above and beyond what you would expect. They have worked with some of our children and aquintences also and only heard the same thing as we have said. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! A big big thank you John and Kristen. Edith and Jim --- John and Kristin Beise - The Right Realtors indeed! The Beise's have a passion for what they do and their goal is always the satisfaction of their clients. Knowledge, communication, transparency, dedication, follow-through and kindness are just a few attributes that make John & Kristin the right team for us. They helped us navigate every step of the way to get us to the end result of this beautiful new place we call home. The true test ... When you miss frequently hearing from your realtors once the move-in process is complete. Even more ... Waking up every day of a stay-at-home order and feeling grateful for the amazing home we are living in, working in and schooling in is a true testament to feeling good about the process and the purchase. Thank you John and Kristin! - Christine --- My wife and I can not say enough about John and Kristin and all they did for us throughout our home sale and search for a new house. Their knowledge of the area and how to properly market our home helped secure a quick and seamless sale of our property in Mound. They also helped us search for a new home for nearly a year. The insight and advice they provided during our search was priceless and helped us avoid a bad investment while also honing in on our perfect property. They are a top notch team and an absolute pleasure to deal with! Mitch and Allie --- John and Kristin were wonderful to work with! They were essential in helping us receive multiple offers on our current home and selecting the best offer. They worked countless hours and wrote multiple offers during the home buying process and we are so happy with where we ended up! They were diligent and incredibly patient as we navigated a tough market. We couldn't have asked for a better team on our side! Lindsay and Stephen --- John and Kristin Beise are an amazing team! We could not be happier with our out of state relocation to Minnesota. With their expertise in the business, knowledge of the area and personal attention to service and details, it was a seamless process for us. John and Kristin Beise are truly The Right Realtors! Mary and Marty --- We would absolutely work with John and Kristen again. We interviewed other realtors, but their detailed marketing plan stood out. They guided us through every step with no surprises, and always available to answer any questions. Our home sold quickly and at a price we were very pleased with. They are professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Vance and Julie --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristin were a pleasure to work with, they showed us how to present our home for an unbelievably quick sale while doing an amazing job of making it as stress free as possible. They also LISTENED to our needs and desires for our new home and developed a plan to find us our dream home and then made the buying portion of the process quick and easy. They were always ready to answer questions and when they had something to share they did so promptly. Karen and I highly recommend this team to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you John and Kristin. Kieth and Karen --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews We recently had to sell our home at the last minute. We interviewed 3 realtors to determine which one was best. I knew immediately that John and Kristen stood out compared to the others. Their knowledge, communication skills, and optimism were never ending. They promptly answered our kabillion questions throughout this process with patience and would always leave us with a clear understanding of each question. Can't believe how lucky we were to connect with them and would not hesitate to refer them to my friends and family. Hope to use them again in the near future to buy something! ! Jan --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews Looking for the perfect realtor in western suburbs of Minneapolis? Look no further than Kristin and John Beise. They are knowledgeable about all things having to do with real estate, always accessible for any questions or concerns, helpful beyond what one would expect and supportive as one goes through the stressful process of selling and buying a home. Most of all, they care! Carol and Larry --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews Kristin and John are the best. They were very engaged in finding the just right home for me. The two of them have so many great qualities/abilities: patience, good communication, knowledgeable, dependable, personable and they go the extra mile. I was very fortunate to have selected them as my realtor - they were the "Right" choice. Barb --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews The Beises were absolutely stalwart professionals who tailored all of their great efforts commensurate with our needs. John and Kristin had their fingers on the pulse of the market and comprehensively put forth great work on our behalf. We have been in a lot of real estate markets throughout the world and country, and John and Kristin are clearly in the top stratum of agents with whom we have interacted. Most importantly, the Beises are great people; their personalities and friendliness is immediately apparent and makes the entire process that much more enjoyable. They have our absolute highest endorsement. Mike and Claudia --- My husband Jeff and I highly recommend working with John and Kristin Beise from The Right Realtors. We have worked with John and Kristin on two separate occasions. After a frustrating year of not being able to sell our house, we contacted John and Kristin. They are an amazing hardworking team, putting in the hours and sold our house quickly! They gave us great advice when we were selling our home. They are very knowledgeable when it comes to house market trends, marketing strategies – what works and what doesn’t, staging etc. (Do you subscribe to their newsletter? ! If not, highly recommend getting on their mailing list. ) We also purchased a rental property with the help of John and Kristin. When the time is right to purchase another property, we are defiantly calling John & Kristin from The Right Realtors! Rachel S. --- We relied on John and Kristin for the sale of two homes and the purchase of two homes. On the sale side, they helped identify the necessary cost effective changes to make the homes sell. They patiently visited countless homes for and with us. Many weren't quite perfect. This helped us hone in on the features we really wanted. We couldn't be happier than we are in our current home. Thanks to John and Kristin! They are the right realtors if you are looking for just the right home. Aaron and Diane --- John and Kristin actively worked on selling our house and helped us find the house that we currently live in. They made us feel like we were their top priority. They continued to hold open houses, even several weeks in a row, knowing that we could get the price that we thought it was worth. They succeeded. We would use them again but the home they helped us find will be our forever home. Thanks John and Kristin Maureen and Jeff --- We had a great experience with John and Kristin. In a very tough buyer's market, we were able to find the perfect fit for our family. From the initial searches, to closing, to check-in's from John and Kristin to see how we were doing in the new house, we enjoyed the experience! We would recommend using them to buy and/or sell :) Andy and Dedra --- BEST EVER! ! ! Realtors from my first home in 2009 on my own and through selling that home and into our family home in 2017! ! ! They are Amazing! Honest! Fun! Supportive! & In the Know! Right Realtors = Ready Intelligent Good Honest Team! Mari and Eric --- John and Kristin were "The Right Realtors" for us! Having a newborn and looking for a house at the same time was a bit aggressive on my part... but J & K were very accommodating to our schedule and put us in our dream home. They both listened to exactly what we were looking for (ranch with a bay window and yard space in a specific suburb) and planned out the routes and tours very efficiently. The more we toured in their suburban during the trips, not only did they understand what we were looking for, but my wife and I did too. I highly recommend John & Kristin to anyone looking for their first home! Michael P. --- A++ realtors. Kristin and John and knowledgeable, professional, personable and fun to work with! They work hard for their clients and make you feel as if selling or buying your home is their top priority. They truly are the “right realtors” and we recommend them to anyone in the market. Emily L. --- Kristin and John are amazing realtors and really go above and beyond to make sure their clients have a good home buying or selling experience. I've used them twice already and will use them in the future! Christie L. --- What a great team. Truly professional and honest. I have been lucky enough to work with Kristin and John for over 15 years. I have recommended them to clients multiple times and everyone has been very happy. You cannot go wrong with them. We bought our last home with them and they were always looking out for our best interests. Rod B. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristin were tremendous realtors. They worked very hard at all hours of the day to make sure I had a great experience throughout the buying process. It was obvious that they cared about me and wanted to do everything they could to help me make the right decision. They are not lying when they say they are the right realtors! Woody B. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristin Beise are hard working and ethical people. My wife and I had asked them to help us sell a second home. Kristin and John did a professional and timely job, complete with graphs and pictures of similar homes in the area and what they had sold for. At the time, our local market had gone through a big down turn in home prices so we owed more than the value of the home. So, they did the ethical thing and recommended that we rent it until the market came up again. They wanted to the do the right thing by us and we greatly appreciated that. They will definitely get the chance to sell this second home again when the market rebounds. We think Kristin and John are the best. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John and Kristen were great! They helped us sell our house in record time and they were right there to help us find a new home. They accommodated our schedules and they were always available to answer questions. They were very knowledgeable and really fun to work with! --- I was very impressed from start to finish. Very knowledgeable and friendly. All of my questions and concerns were answered promptly and with the highest professionalism. I always felt like I was in good hands. --- John and Kristin are great to work with! They were very flexible with our busy schedule, and very patient when we had to bring our 1 year old along. When looking at homes, they were able to bring up questions or ideas that we wouldn't have thought of on our own, which was great when looking at perspective homes. We went through several homes, and it was obvious that they took note of what we were looking for, and what our style was. They were able to find a number of great house for us to see that fit all of our "must haves" and more. I would highly recommend them! --- John was the best. He and Kristin were very informative and went out of their way to be helpful in the sale of my house,and the subsequent buying of a different home. No question went unanswered. They are very knowledgeable and want the best outcome for their clients. I would use them again and highly recommend them as agents to anyone buying or selling a home. --- - Testimonial Category: Reviews John & Kristin were the absolute "right" realtors for us. They helped us sell our house in an area very far from their home base, with many open houses to generate interest . They helped potential buyers with questions about the home and great ideas for them to make changes that would suit their needs if they did purchase it. They were very helpful with setting up the house for people looking, explaining things that needed to be addressed before we could put it on the market. They used many other advertising methods as needed. John's knowledge of construction and Kristin design and personality were great during the entire process. They were truly the "THE RIGHT REALTORS" for us and would recommend them for sellers or buyers! --- --- ## Listings - Status: Sold - Property Types: Land, Recreational We represented the buyers for this property!
