Stieg Strand - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

We originally met Stieg when we asked him to do a market analysis about 5 years prior to hiring him to list and sell our home.

We wanted a professional opinion about improvements we were considering to ensure we'd get our money back. Stieg was easy to work with and his knowledge of the market is impressive. He's responsive, a strong communicator and used innovative strategies to help us sell quickly.

Dean and Donna Dalton

I had the opportunity to meet with three different realtors in my search for a home.

The first two experiences were disappointing, as they lacked communication skills and made the process even more confusing for me as a first-time homebuyer. However, my experience with Stieg, the third realtor I met through Zillow, was completely different. Working with Stieg was a breath of fresh air. He was not only trustworthy and knowledgeable but also went above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the process. He made complicated concepts easy to grasp and was always available to answer any questions I had, even after I had purchased my home. Stieg's genuine care for my well-being and the success of my home-buying journey was truly remarkable. It was evident that he was not solely motivated by money, but by a genuine desire to help his clients find the perfect home. Thanks to Stieg's guidance and support, I was able to navigate the homebuying process with confidence and ease, impressing my family along the way. I highly recommend Stieg to anyone, especially first-time homeowners, as his expertise and genuine care make him a standout realtor. It was a privilege to work with him, and I hope others have the opportunity to experience his exceptional service.

We have hired Stieg to sell two different homes and purchase three over the last 10 years.

We greatly appreciated Stieg's patience with all of our questions and his assistance throughout the selling process. His calm demeanor has been incredibly valuable throughout each of these potentially stressful sales. He provided professional, yet friendly, service from our first phone call to following up after the closing. Stieg's strong marketing approach most certainly helped sell our home quickly too.

Stieg is a fantastic realtor!

I know many realtors and chose to go with Stieg after finding him on Realtor.com and going through the interview process. He is very attentive to your wants and needs. Stieg's knowledge and expertise helped me find my house in less than 2 months!!! I am very pleased with the process and communication that we had. I will definitely recommend Stieg to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Stieg Strand was our buyer's agent 24 years ago when we moved to Minnesota, so it seemed perfect to reach out to him to sell that very same house we called home for so long.

His stellar skills include intentional listening, patience and empathy, professional wisdom (he is a leader in knowing the markets and understanding the sellers' and buyers' goals), common sense and diligence. He worked hard to get the job done, and helped us focus our goals and meet them in a tight timeline with a few extra challenges thrown in. We do not hesitate to recommend Stieg for any real estate transaction.

Denise and Patrick Hirl

Stieg was an amazing realtor, the very best.

Someone from my church recommended him and he responded within fifteen minutes after I texted him. He walked with me every step of the way, answered all the questions I had, and was always readily available. He is a positive person to be around and he gave me so much confidence as I know he has decades of experience and was providing good guidance. He is also very kind and patient and I felt that this wasn't just business for him but that he really wanted me to get a home that met my needs and a home that I would love. And I really do love my home by the lake! I am grateful to God for my home every day. I'm not a detail oriented person and real estate is not my expertise - I'm a nurse who works in the community with women facing really difficult situations. So to have someone you could comfortably ask questions of and who would remind you if you missed a step, meant a lot to me. I would recommend him to anyone seeking to purchase or sell a home and if I ever choose to move Stieg is who I will be going to for help.

We chose Stieg because we had issues with prior agents' poor communication and honesty.

We interviewed multiple agents to ensure we didn't have that issue again and chose Stieg based on his experience, personality and communication style. I felt that Stieg went beyond what other agents are willing to do. We really enjoyed working with him and would gladly recommend him to all our friends and neighbors. As a note, Stieg handled both the selling and buying with us, and we are glad he did!

Garrett and Holly Winters, Minnetonka

We have hired Stieg to sell and purchase multiple times.

Stieg is an excellent Realtor. We have recommended him to our friends and he has never let us down. He is very experienced, and we relied on his knowledge and we were so happy we did. I definitely text him when my friends and family need an agent.

"Stieg was a very down to earth and personable guy. He was responded quickly to all email and phone inquiries. He sent us a great database to view homes which made it much easier to choose which homes to see. He listened to what we needed and wanted. He communicated well with our mortgage broker so was knowledgeable about which homes we could view and purchase. Negotiated price wonderfully and worked with selling agent to get things fixed in timely manner after inspection. He was a recommendation by our broker and we were very happy with our choice in Stieg. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to buy a home."

"We recently relocated from South Carolina to Minneapolis. We found Stieg on Zillow and we couldn't be happier with our choice. He was excellent from start to finish. He was very patient with me. It took almost a year from the start of our search to the closing. I would highly recommend him. He was a joy to work with. If you need someone to find a home for you look no further! Ask for Stieg!"

"As a first time house seller, I greatly appreciated Stieg's patience with all of my questions and his assistance throughout the selling process. His calm demeanor was incredibly valuable throughout this potentially stressful process. He provided professional, yet friendly, service from my first phone call and filling out the listing paperwork to following up after the closing. Stieg was always just a call, text, or email away.Stieg's marketing approach, listing on multiple platforms, and bringing in a professional photographer for my townhouse, was highly successful, leading to a quick sale. He is very knowledgeable about the housing market, providing information on sales timelines and trends. Stieg’s high level of knowledge of the housing market and his regular communication keeping me informed during the selling process was very reassuring.I feel extremely confident that Stieg had my best interests as the seller front and foremost throughout the entire house selling process. I highly recommend Stieg and his professional service for your house selling, or buying, needs. He made the process quite enjoyable!"

"Was a great resource and very knowledgeable about the housing industry. He goes the extra mile and doesn't show you things which would waste time, he gets in and gets the job done. I had a very short timetable and he surpassed all of my expectations. For example, found a couple places which I was interested in and the next day we were able to view them all. Awesome negotiation skills as he got everything I was hoping for plus more and during this time his responsiveness was unprecedented. I would rate Stieg highly and recommend anyone who is in the market to find and purchase a home contact him."

"Stieg is a great guy and his experience in real estate was a huge asset as we purchased our first home. Stieg understood the market, gave us just the right amount of advice, and helped secure more in our inspection contingency than we could have asked for. I'd highly recommend Stieg."
