Hear from our customers

Thanks again Tim! I enjoyed working with you and think you did an excellent job. I feel like you honestly tried to do things right by me and I appreciate that.
Nathan Sobolik, The Toro Company Tim, we LOVE our new home! Thank you for your help in finding just the right place for us. Being new to Minnesota is hard enough, but finding the right place is even more difficult. Your were our tour guide to the cities and made sure that we found the right town to live in first and then the right home. This one could not be more perfect. THANK YOU! We will be referring you to all of our friends. Have a wonderful summer with your family.
Dave Vitel--Minnesota Timberwolves, and wife Jessica, St Louis Park, MN Tim did an awesome job for us! Since we were first time home buyers and moving from out of state we needed a lot of help. Tim's innovative survey helped him really understand what we were looking for in a home. This was important because we needed to find a house using just two weekend visits. Since Tim previews every home before he shows it our time was maximized and we found the home of our dreams in the neighborhood of our dreams on just our third day of house-hunting. After finding the home Tim skillfully guided us through the offer process (including two rounds of counter-offers), the inspection, and finally a nice, smooth closing. We have already recommended Tim and will continue to do so!
Will Wait, Buyer-Target and Amy Lee, Marketing Analyst-Target, Minneapolis As not only a first time homebuyer, but a very detail oriented person, I needed someone that would take the time and effort to walk through, explain, and detail the entire process for me. Tim was more the willing to spend the necessary time. Tim was also more than flexible when it came to working with my schedule. On nights and weekends. Tim was not only willing to work with me, but successfully manage our short amounts of time together to optimize the home selection process. Through a thorough upfront survey and a variety of discussions he was able to gear his initial search and drive his pre-screening process to sift out a large number of homes behind the scenes that I would not be interested in. As we attended showings together, he was able to further refine his search by continuously gauging my likes and dislikes on a wide array of home features, many of which I hadn't even initially thought about. He challenged me to think critically about all aspects of the home, neighborhood, etc.

Overall, in a realtor I was really looking for an expert in the area to provide me the detailed info I could not get on my own to allow me to make a well informed decision on my first home. I didn't want someone that would tell me what to do or tell me what was right for me. I wanted someone that could successfully gage my interests, show me applicable homes, provide unbiased details and evaluations of a home, neighborhood, etc. and allow me to make the best decision for myself. Tim fulfilled this requirement in every aspect. I would not hesitate recommend him.

Garett Shun - Mechanical Engineer - Plymouth, MN "Tim, we just want to thank you for all of your hard work, effort and success in helping us sell your second home for us - the week before Christmas! While it was scary to move out of state in a very soft market without the house sold, your constant updates and ideas helped keep showings coming and ultimately resulted in a fair offer we were thrilled to accept. We appreciate all of your support and candid counsel. Thank you, and if you ever have a current or prospective client who would like to talk to us about how great it is to work with you, please give them our contact info. Now if we could only clone you to help us find the perfect house in Michigan..."
-Nathan & Nancy Kooienga, formerly of Edina "Tim listened to what we wanted and didn't waste our time. He looked at a multitude of houses without us so that we only went to houses that fit our needs. He was thorough, thoughtful, and impressively knowledgeable about all areas of the real estate market. I don't see any reason to ever use a different realtor."
~ Michaela, Robbinsdale "Tim Sipprell was recommended to us through a friend of a friend. Upon our first conversation, I knew that he was the 'right fit' for us. He was approachable, direct, confident, knowledgable and personal. He spent a considerable amount of time learning about what we wanted, and then focused our search on houses that were tailored to our needs. We conducted our search from a distance, as we were relocating from Boston, and Tim was flexible and available to accomodate our travel schedule. We only traveled twice for house hunting, and we found a wonderful home!! He ultimately went above and beyond what we had ever anticipated in a realtor! His attention to detail and advice throughout the process was second to none. We implicitly trusted his judgment, and that made all the difference in the world when you are 1500 miles away. After the purchase of our new home, Tim has continued to help us and we feel very lucky to know him! We'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation! He is an exceptional realtor and a superb person!"
- Kirsten Dummer, Physician, The Children's Heart Clinic Greg Dummer, VP Sales, Grayhair Software "We could not have been luckier to have had Tim as our agent. As first time homebuyers we didn’t know what we wanted, we just knew we wanted a house at a price we could afford. Tim asked all the right questions and allowed us to see a wide variety of homes (all of which he previewed) to help us figure out what we wanted in our first home. He was extremely patient with us throughout the whole process and helped educate us with every step of the home buying process. Tim clearly has a passion for real estate as it showed with his enthusiasm and excitement he brought with every meeting and showing we had together."
- Brandy (RN) and Paul (Insurance Agent) "Tim really did an excellent job which we are very thankful for. Buying and selling a home are not an easy task; his expertise helped make this happen. We really appreciated the guidance on both fronts and Tim really went above and beyond for us. Thanks to Tim's hard work and creativity we are now happily located in our ideal home and ideal area. Thank you Tim!"
-Robert & Gabrielle Feivor, Minneapolis "Tim, We were very satisfied with your handling of the sale of our townhouse. You were exceptionally professional from beginning to end. Your expertise, professional presentation of our place, and plan for selling our townhouse were all done top notch. Our place sold within a week after it was listed on MLS during the fall when properties were not moving so well. Tim went the extra mile for us, securing some forms we needed for closing on our new place, which was several months after we closed on our listing we had with him." Best wishes,
-Don and Gary, Downtown Minneapolis "I can't thank you enough for all of have done for my family. You are extremely knowledgeable of your business, which made it very easy for us to put our complete trust in you knowing you would do what was best for us. With our hectic schedules the surveys and pre-screening of homes really helped us maximize our time. The fact that you were able to sell our house and find us another one that we loved within 2 months was truly amazing. We really appreciate all you have done for us."
- Renee Pellinger, Plymouth, AVT-Consulting "We were extremely happy with the home Tim found us. We discussed with him what we were looking for, which was very open-ended, and he previewed many places, not wasting our time on ones we wouldn't like, but yet showing us plenty and giving us new ideas along the way. We look forward to dealing with Tim again--probably not anytime soon, though, because we are so happy with our new and first home. Thanks again Tim."
- Trevor and Kari, Golden Valley "Thanks for all your help, in all its forms. You're really outstanding at this whole process, not to mention an enjoyable person all around."
- Camille Kolles, Executive Director, Minnesota Chorale
"Tim listened to where we were at - where we wanted to go - and he immediately went to work. He was phenomenal. Tim was the ultimate Realtor. He spent time going through houses looking for what we wanted. He found our dream home. Tim then worked hard to sell our home, marketing our home like a true professional. Good customer service is rare today. Tim has it and you need to know it."
- David M. Larson, Vice President, leading Twin Cities local bank
"I just wanted to thank you again for all your hard work. We really appreciate it. Everything is great. You've definitely helped to make this experience a special one. Thanks!"
- Dave and Jocelyn Craig, Shakopee
I was taking a job transfer and was moving from Minnesota to Iowa. We needed to sell our house ASAP. Tim put together a great package through the web and his networking. He was able to sell our house under 30 days and for our asking price. This took a lot of stress out of the moving process.
- Rick Sheik, Cargill, Cedar Rapids, IA
"After giving Tim a summary of our needs and wants, he started a detailed search. Being first-time homebuyers, we were impressed and appreciative with how willing Tim was to walk us through every step. Tim was readily available and always happy to answer our questions. He went out of his was numerous times to make the purchasing process that much easier for us. Tim is a very efficient and friendly Realtor. He made buying our first house a very enjoyable experience. We would certainly recommend him to anyone."
- Amitty Newhall, Designer, Ikea
"Thank you so, so much for all of your help. We were always so impressed with your service, and have recommended you to everyone who will listen! Thanks again, Tim, for everything!"
- Adam Wolkenhauer, KPMG Consulting "Let me give any potential out-of-towner's some good advice...LISTEN TO TIM when it comes to real estate. We were from a totally different housing market in Iowa, and thought we could find something comparable in price and features up here to what we had previously owned. Not going to happen. But looking back, we realized that Tim's top 10 choices had some of the BEST choices for us. The prices were higher than what we expected, (due to the housing market in general being higher here than there), but his choices were right on target. We were slow in recognizing that fact till it was almost too late. We also appreciated his willingness to assist us at all times, without hesitation. What a trouper! Due to Tim's kind perseverance, we did locate a house that we are very happy with. Thanks so much for all your help, Tim!"
- Barry & Teresa Young, Cargill, Chanhassen Tim is a fantastic realtor! He is truly a man of talent and integrity. What really comes to mind when I think of Tim is how he always goes the extra mile. He is very much a go getter having a good work ethic and a positive attitude. I had no doubt I was going to find a home I loved....and I did! And finding a home was easy and fun! I found Tim to be a very personable realtor, showing great attention to detail while keeping the big picture in mind. It was a joy working with him!
- Tracy Kiefer
"Tim was great. He really took the time to get to know us - who we are, what our taste is and how we function in our home. He's also a really hard worker. He visited dozens and dozens of homes while finding just the right ones to show us."
- Julie McBride, Minnetonka, Account Director--Fallon Worldwide
"As a first-time homebuyer, Tim did a great job of explaining the process to me. He took the time to learn what my fiancé and I really wanted in a home. Tim turned the stress of buying a home into a pleasant experience. He has a tremendous passion for his work and is devoted to making his clients happy."
- Jennifer Roben, Eagan, Attorney-Larkin Hoffman Daly & Lindgren
"Irina and I moved to the Twin Cities from Houston, TX. I knew that the housing markets were distinct in both cities but I wasn't willing to believe the prices were that much more in the Twin Cities. Tim patiently showed us over 60 houses and he was always willing to open up his schedule for us. His service was tailored to our needs and after 2 long months we found our dream home. I recommend Tim to any client that is new to the area. His sense of the market, his perseverance and his never say die attitude are second to none!"
- Nate and Irina Wierzba
"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Tim in our home buying process. As first time home buyers, we knew that we wanted to work with an agent who shared our desire to find a home that was within our price range, while taking into account the style of home we were interested in. Tim identified our needs and worked diligently to meet them. We felt as if we were receiving the personalized attention first time home buyers deserve from an agent. Throughout the entire process, we felt informed, relaxed and confident in Tim's abilities to meet our expectations and answer all of our questions. As attorneys, my wife and I were impressed with Tim's knowledge of contracts as they pertain to the home buying process. At the closing, Tim's efforts paid off, as the process went smoothly and proceeded without incident. We enjoyed working with Tim and would recommend that others, especially first time home buyers, use Tim as their agent in the home buying process."
- Andy Miller, attorney, Minneapolis
Tim was a wonderful realtor to have in searching for our first house. He listened to our needs and desires and only took us to houses that matched our criteria. The first day we went looking, Tim took us to an area we weren't aware of considering and after looking at only three houses we knew we found the perfect one for us. His understanding and knowledge of the market made our experience enjoyable and very trouble free. We have and will continue to recommend Tim to all our friends and family.
- Kelsey and Lee Bast, Shakopee
I would like to thank you for finding our house for us. The way you toured each house before we looked at the houses helped out a lot. You figured out exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Especially since we had two different ideas of what type of house we wanted. You even stepped out of the exact area we were initially focused on and found the "Perfect" house for us. I couldn't be happier with your hard work. I will definitely recommend you to any friend or family that is looking to buy a house. Thank you again.
- Kelly & Jana Reger, Minnetonka
