I inherited my father's house and was in completely over my head. Minna was able to talk me through the selling process, answered all the questions I had, worked with the mortgage company (which had been giving me issues for years), and sold my house in less than a month! I am incredibly happy with my choice to go with her as my listing agent and am so thankful I found her online!

Minna has been a fantastic partner in selling our home. She was patient with us in explaining the differences between a short sale and conventional sale and helped us think through the pros and cons of each. During the process of the sale she was strategic and got us the best price for our sale. The process was painless and quick and every step of the way she managed each and every detail flawlessly.

Minna was the best thing that happened to us in a very long time. Weve been planning on moving from our house and on with our lives and the house was simply an anchor. Weve had two liens on the house that would take a long time to cure and we were forced to sell the house to settle with the bank. Ive looked around for someone who specializes in short sales, not just an agent that did 2-3. The process took a while, but Minna was super persistent, and her strategic approach was close to none. We have lost two buyers, got a push backs from the bank and lean holders and she was able to stay

Minna is responsive to your individual needs/circumstances and makes the process seamless. In less than three months our home was photographed, listed, and sold. She is professional, thorough, and addressed all questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend her and the team of professionals she works with in the sale of your home.

I reached out to Minna when we were first considering a short sale. I didnt know much about the process or how it worked so naturally I had a ton of questions. She answered all of my questions as well as explained the process in detail so I would know exactly what to expect. Several months later, we kicked off the sale. I had heard so many horror stories about what can go wrong in a short sale so I was very uneasy. With Minnas expertise the process was so much smoother than I could have ever anticipated! It was just over three months from the time we listed to closing (which is fast for a

I cannot honestly find the right words to express the amazing job that Minna, Jaime, and the entire group did for me. Making the decision to go through a short sale process is daunting, to say the least, but Minna and her team somehow found a way to take all of the stress out of it. From taking time during our initial conversation to explain all of the possibilities to seamlessly navigating through all the hoops with the lender, every step of the process was masterfully covered. From our initial conversation to closing was about a five month process in total, something I consider a minor miracle
