"We could have not been more fortunate having Ross assist and represent us through the process of finding our new home. From the moment we met, we knew we were in the capable, experienced hands. Ross patiently helped us get acquainted with the local market, listened carefully to our needs, and guided us expertly to homes that would suit our lifestyle and budget. Once we found "the one", Ross helped make the whole process from initial offer through closing (and beyond!) easy and hassle-free. Ross is easily one of the best realtors we have ever worked with, and I would recommend him without a single reservation. We will definitely reach out to him when the time comes for us to move again."
"When we first met Ross, my wife and I had two neighborhoods we were searching in. Ross helped us expand our search, listened to our concerns, and dialed in on what we were actually looking for. He was able to make the process stress free, and we had complete confidence the entire time we were working with him. We found the perfect home, and he guided us through making an offer and buying the house with ease. On top of all of this, he is a fantastic person that gave us a great movie, travel, and restaurant recommendations that will probably take us a few years to complete."
"Ross was a great partner and counselor in the home-buying process, which we went through basically remotely as we relocated to the Twin Cities. He was very helpful and collaborative in terms of helping us understand the local micro-markets within the Twin Cities. Ross was incredibly responsive and showed a great deal of patience. He brought his expertise to the table and also showed a disposition to consider alternative ways of looking at things -- these two put together allowed for better analysis, negotiation, and the overall process."
"Ross is one of the best realtors I've ever met! We asked him to find us a specific type of house in a specific area and he did. In a very competitive market, he used his expert negotiating skills and made it happen. He's knowledgeable, creative, current with market trends and he is a person of integrity. Ross really goes above and beyond for his clients. We will continue to use Ross in all our real estate dealings."
"Ross was an amazing partner in selling a family property! He was wonderful to work with, accommodating, kind, very knowledgeable of the market, and quick in responses and selling the property! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. I will for sure be working with him in the future!
