Appraisal Real Estate Service
I would not recommend Joe. Joe was the worst realtor I ever worked with and I feel he discriminates against North Minneapolis residents and non European clients; that bum didn't even show up for my closing or thanked or congratulated me after the deal was done. I had to sell my home from out of town so I informed Joe of my situation and if he was able to accommodate looking after my property as I try to sell it, Joe gave me his word he would do so but didnt and only reason I know because I had cameras mounted inside my property and on the outside and Joe never stopped by not once. Before I listed my property and going live on the market Joe asked if he could bring a photographer over to take photos, I agreed. Joe had this stranger in my house and didn't even introduce us, the photographer was very unfriendly and entitled, it was if he didnt want to work with homes in north Minneapolis neighborhoods or African individuals. The photographer walked past me and acted like I didn't exist.
Response from Minnesota Property Group
"I am so sorry for such a negative experience. The experience you had will be used to improve all of the processes we have as well as the photographers we use. I want to emphasize that I always make sure my clients choose the list price they want and never pressure them to accept any offer. My contracts allow for sellers to cancel their contract without penalty. I spent part of my child hood growing up in North Minneapolis and have never intended to show any differential treatment to clients no matter the price range or location of the property."

Best Twin Cities Realtor I've worked with yet. The sale was smooth. I felt like I got every dollar out of my house and Joe didn't charge as much as most of the other agents I spoke with before him.

Joe and his team helped us buy our first home. I was worried a tad bit about burning him out wanting to see so many different homes in different areas of the twin cities, but he was extremely patient and professional. I hope to never move again in my life, but if I do, hes my guy.
Response from Minnesota Property Group
"Your thoughtfulness and diligence towards buying the right house paid off. I too hope you don't ever move from your incredible home. It is perfect for you and your lovely family. I'm so happy and proud to be friends with you guys."

Joe is great.
Response from Minnesota Property Group
"I'll never forget the sign that the neighbors created for the seller which was prominently displayed in the front yard when we went to do the final walk-through, that said "Farewell Dick". My first thought was, wow, the neighbors really hate this guy. Then I realized his name was Dick and they actually loved him so much that they made an incredibly sweet poster for him."

It went great. I am in the industry, and my standards and needs were pretty high, and Joe was able to come through! He was able to work with my needed timeline, and fully represented me throughout the entire process. Even being in the industry, I was able to stay "hands-off" and trust that Joe was doing his job.
