I specialize in the Southwest Metro, especially in the Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, and Minnetonka areas. My experience includes hundreds of transactions which include traditional sales as well as investment property, REO properties, and short sales. I am a graduate of the Realtor Institute (GRI) and a certified negotiation expert (CNE). I’ve been nominated by my clients every year since 2012 and selected by the Minneapolis St Paul Magazine and Twin Cities Business as a Super Real Estate Agent.
I take pleasure in helping people transition into the next phase of their lives, whether it is selling their current home and moving up to gain room for a growing family, selling to downsize into a condo that fits their lifestyle or selling to purchase/build that dream lakefront home.
I also enjoy educating people on the process of selling & purchasing real estate. When a client is knowledgeable about the process, it takes a lot of stress out of the transaction, allowing them to make informed decisions that they feel comfortable with. Communication is absolutely key in this industry. I am very responsive and I respond to my clients questions and concerns as quickly as possible with detailed and accurate answers. It’s one of the biggest transactions Buyers and Sellers will make in their lives and they deserve to be informed throughout.
For my Buyers, once we’ve found a home, I do an extensive analysis to ensure that their offer price is suitable for the property under current market conditions, then negotiate on their behalf to get them the best terms possible.
For my Sellers, I do a complete market analysis on their home in order to make the most optimal listing price recommendation for a sale within the time period they would like to sell in. I have professional pictures taken and use these as the base of my extensive marketing of the home.
For both Buyers and Sellers, once we’ve negotiated through all contingencies, I guide them through the rest of the transaction to a successful closing. In addition, I always try to identify my client’s priorities in order to help them achieve exactly what they are looking for.
I believe that due to low inventory, now is definitely a great time to sell and still a good time to buy. I think there is an incredible opportunity for home Buyers and Sellers right now. I am very knowledgeable about the local markets, amenities and more. I work throughout the Twin Cities metro area and my clients know I am available to help throughout the home buying or selling process.
In addition to my real estate license, I earned a B.A. in Business Administration with an emphasis on Entrepreneurship from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. My experience also includes time serving our nation in the military. After nine years and two tours in the Middle East, I completed my contract with the Army National Guard. My team includes Carla Ferrell, ARN and we are always happy to help with your real estate needs.
“Jennifer was incredible to work with at every step. She was very open to showings – even some far away – when I was initially searching. Immediately I appreciated her candor and personality of not coming off as pushy at all, realizing decisions wouldn’t be made immediately. Once I decided to buy a home, I was very happy with her responsiveness. Jennifer was responsive to messages any time I had questions, and I had plenty of them! She had mindful and sound recommendations when it came to the negotiating stage, as well. I felt a great sense of confidence when she would give me her recommendations because she would explain exactly why she thought I should make certain decisions.” ~ Client Review
“Although it was quite a stressful time for us, leaving our home after 18 yrs. and raised our two beautiful girls in an amazing neighborhood, Jennifer made it so much easier for us to lower our anxiety. Throughout this process, Jennifer has been very cordial and always quick to respond to our questions. She is very well versed and provided us detailed explanations to strategically negotiate and worked to our advantage. We can’t ask for a better person and professional than her. Jennifer is the best from the many realtors that we reached out to before. And we are very certain, she will be our first choice to have her as our realtor when we are going to buy another house in the near future. Again, thank you and we really appreciated your time.” ~ Client Review
“Jen is awesome! We have now utilized Jen’s real estate expertise twice – most recently to sell our home, prior to that, to purchase our home. Both times we were very pleased! Jen is very friendly, knowledgeable and always there to answer any questions we had. Since this was the first home we’ve ever sold, we were clueless. Jen helped us through the process, as painful as it was at times, and we even received over asking! We definitely recommend her for buying and selling!” ~ Client Review
“We have purchased and sold a few homes with Jennifer as our realtor. She was excellent at finding the homes we wanted and that suited our needs. She was very responsive and was great at negotiating with the buyers of our home after they came back with some asks after the inspection period. She put us at ease with her calm, professional and ambitious demeanor. She will answer any questions, give honest feedback, make effective suggestions and go the extra mile. It was great to communicate via text/email at all hours of the day. She is very experienced and knows her stuff, that’s why she’s received our repeat business! Highly recommended!” ~ Client Review
“Jennifer made the entire process easy and as stress free as possible. She is quick to respond with thoughtful replies and advice. She also has a very calming presence that helps when you have those stressful moments during the buying and selling process. We were able to buy and sell our home in about two weeks of talking to her. We couldn’t have asked for more in a real estate agent.” ~ Client Review
