Testimonials

There are many things we can say about the high quality of service we provide to our home seller and buyer clients, but nothing says it like our clients do.

 

James & Faith, Bloomington MN  (In response to me teasing that I was being "pushy" about the home warranty):  "Thank you for insisting on the home warranty by the way. Good call. You guys are the best. Pushy is relative when there's water dripping down your wall."

Philip G. Wade  In the spring of 2005 my wife’s mom suffered a stroke. While taking care of her mom in CA she told me that we needed a one story home to bring mom back to. We were referred to Michelle Erickson by friends. Inside of ninety days we sold a house, bought a house, and moved. This was in large part due to Michelle’s efforts. We have and will continue to refer and recommend Michelle to friends and family. 

Pam & Scott Ware  When we were looking to buy a house, Barbara Charlton really listened, understood, and put our needs and desires first and foremost. She has a level of integrity and competence that is uncommon, and the world of real estate and business is a better place because of her. We can state with absolute confidence that anyone fortunate enough to get Barbara, can be secure in her services and advice.

Kristin Mortenson, MN  Michelle Erickson represented us in both buying our new house and selling our existing home. She did an excellent job of listening to what we were looking for in a new location and in brokering a good deal for us on the purchase. Additionally, Michelle listed our house and sold it within the agreed upon price range within only 3 weeks on the market. We were very impressed with both her interpersonal and real estate skills.

LM - Minneapolis MN Michelle helped me purchase a rental property and she was very patient to make sure the home was the right fit. She did such a great job I referred my 2 daughters to her to help them purchase their 1st homes, and she did a great job as well. Patient and hardworking!

SW - Eagan  I can say without a doubt in my mind that there is no other realtor I would go to for my next real estate transaction than the lovely Michelle Erickson. Yes, she’s lovely! Yes, she’s professional! Yes, she has a clear understanding of the market! Yes, she’s savvy! But she’s also one of the kindest, most refreshing women, I’ve ever met. She is friendly (all the time) and listens (truly listens anytime ~ day or night) to what your needs are and she will find it ~ without the pressure! She will take you through a hundred houses or two hundred houses (if that’s what you want!) without getting frustrated or impatient. Once you find “the one” her negotiating skills click on and she will go to great lengths to fairly negotiate in your best interest. She introduced me to an amazing broker, both of whom were at the closing to ensure all my questions were answered and to ensure there were no unexpected surprises, fees, etc. It was such a smooth process! Even after closing, she stopped by and dropped off a gift card to Home Depot ~ while not necessary what a very kind gesture! I know I’ll contact Michelle Erickson next time I’m in the market and I know who I’ll send my family and friends too! A big thank you to Michelle for the countless hours she spent in finding a house to make into a beautiful home. 

MZ - Bloomington, MN  Barb's multiple talents are readily apparent from the first time you meet with her. Of course she understands the real estate market. What is more important is that she gets how related services intersect a real estate transaction and she knows how to approach the tough issues when they arise. In this difficult market, her experience in these "other" areas is invaluable. I have received numerous comments from clients appreciating the passion she demonstrated as their representative and the straightforward manner in which she practices her craft. I strongly endorse her work. If you are looking for an agent, she's someone you can expect to build a long term relationship with.

MO, Minneapolis, MN  Barb will help to create the right fit when finding a home. She will be honest and upfront about the pros and cons of different locations. She truly wants the best outcome for you and your family. She will be patient and work hard to find exactly what you are looking for. And she's got a great personality and is very friendly, too!
