Satisfied Clients

My husband and I recently purchased our first home with Gretchen’s help and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. We met her at an open house she was hosting two year prior to us starting our official search. She was warm and welcoming and very understanding of just how early we were in the process. Gretchen gave us her card and a list of other open house taking place that day – we hung her card up on the fridge and she was my first call two years later! Gretchen was great at keeping us from getting ahead of ourselves and always kept us informed on what to expect. She is always quick to respond to an email or setup a showing; she was/is amazing! When it came time to put in an offer and negotiate a price, Gretchen never made us feel any pressure to go higher/lower but she always made sure we had all the facts to make an informed offer. Thanks to her help we got a great house, at a good price, in a fantastic location and couldn’t be happier! As first time buyers, we couldn’t have dreamed of a better realtor.

It was a pleasure to work with Gretchen on a recent estate sale for my mother’s condominium. Her expertise in the local area made her an easy choice. However it was her time spent learning about probate, estate sales, and other glitches unfamiliar to traditional real estate agents; that result in a rating of excellence. She was friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Great service.

I recommend Gretchen in the highest possible terms. She helped us sell our house for maximum $, gave great advice on improving the house at low cost for maximum ROI, was smart, knowledgeable, proactive, professional, highly ethical, and a pleasure to work with and be with. We were one of her first clients as a real estate agent and she was a strong 9 on a scale of 10. I expect her to rapidly evolve into one of the best real estate agents in town.

5 Star Gretchen is an amazing Realtor because she is so good at what she does! She’s a very personable, outgoing, and helpful kind of person that you want on your team! I’m so happy in my new home and I know I couldn’t have done it without her!
-Michelle-

Gretchen was my realtor, selling a house that I owned for over 18 years. Gretchen was professional, enthusiastic, and the ultimate cheerleader. I loved working with her and her team at Coldwell-Banker Burnet. Fantastic service, and great results.
-Holly and Corey-

It had been 30 years since Judy and I bought a house, and we’d forgotten a few things. We met Gretchen – and other realtors – while attending open houses, and liked her immediately. When we finally decided to get serious, we called Gretchen and met with her soon after. She was knowledgeable about the market, the neighborhoods we were interested in, and the whole search and purchase process. She listened carefully to what we wanted in a new or different house, and asked good questions to draw us out. Great attitude and sense of humor – and then she found a house that was almost everything we’d mentioned, within two weeks of our initial meeting. She helped us through the offer, inspection, and negotiations, and when our offer was accepted, she was as happy as we were. We had an easy closing, and can’t imagine an agent could be more helpful or fun to work with. We highly recommend Gretchen; once we move and get our current house fixed up a bit, we’ll work with Gretchen again to sell it.
-Jim and Judy-

Meeting Gretchen for the first time was like finding my long lost sister! We had some fun but she always maintained a level of professionalism and we were on the go from the start! We had our minds set on a more private rural area and she had no problem driving into wild with us. We have been in our new home one month now and loving it! Thanks Gretchen!
-Heather-

Gretchen was very helpful and great to work with. She has very good knowledge of the local areas. She was able to walk us through the entire process of buying a home in detail including the offer/counter offer process, which made it feel much easier and less stressful than expected.
-Jenny and Chris-

Gretchen was so helpful! We had a tight budget and needed to move quickly on houses we liked. She was really flexible with her schedule and worked late to make it happen for us. I never felt forced to make a decision, but once we made one, she was ready to act. Gretchen and her mortgage broker, Nicole were super fun–lots of laughs! Helped take the edge off the house buying process. Our home buying experience was positive and a lot had to do with Gretchen and Nicole.
-Rocky and Brittany-

My partner and I met Gretchen at an open house in the summer of 2015, and we immediately knew we wanted to work with her. During our process we encountered some difficulties (no fault of Gretchen’s) and Gretchen was with us every step of the way over a span of four long months! In fact, she was able to work with the seller and negotiated a plan that worked for both parties. Gretchen displayed professionalism and always maintained ethical practices. To top it off, she has a great sense of humor. So be prepared to laugh. Thanks for your support Gretchen!

Wow, what can we say? My wife met Gretchen as she was hosting an open house and they hit it off straight away, soon after Gretchen was our buyer’s agent. Her professionalism was matched by her enthusiasm and preparation. She was extremely helpful in guiding us to the right homes, she provided very useful market data, was able to provide recommendations on contractors, and always had helpful suggestions to make. As new residents to Minneapolis, she was also an excellent ambassador for the city and even the entire state of Minnesota (Go Duluth!) We feel very fortunate to have found Gretchen and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for an effective, professional, and personable real estate agent. When the time comes for us to sell, we’ll be calling Gretchen.

Gretchen was a huge help in buying our first home. She helped us through a stressful process and ensured us that we would be able to find a wonderful home in our price range and timeframe. She followed through with that promise and we are loving our new home. Gretchen is very knowledgeable in the home buying process.
-Joyce and Mark-

Gretchen was incredible! We met her at an open house and were so happy to meet a real estate agent who was kind, calm and not pushy. Deciding to work with her was such a great decision! She knew all about the area we were looking in and really listened to what we wanted in our first home.  Gretchen was always incredibly fast to respond to e-mails and phone calls and could get us into showings at the drop of a hat! Once we made the decision on our home (one of those drop of the hat showings), we were guided through the entire process of putting together an offer, negotiating, and all the many details with grace and patience from Gretchen. We can’t say enough great things about Gretchen and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone and everyone!
-Jacob and Sarah-

She made us feel like we were her top priority and made herself available to talk whenever we had questions….including the weekends Who else would do that??? Everybody warned us that buying our first home will be stressful however not Gretchen! She is very knowledgeable and has the passion to help people. She was great to help us the process all thru the closure of our first house. She was such a pleasure to know her and work with her. Next we buy or sale again she will be the agent- to go!!
-Ahmed and Faiza-

We were first time home buyers and Gretchen helped us navigate the entire process so that when it came to closing there were no loose ends. She has a lot of knowledge of the Minneapolis area, and she is very responsive. She worked around our opposite work schedules and went out of her way to make herself available to us.
