Essential First-Time Home Buyer Tips: A Guide to Your Dream Home

AMAZING TO WORK WITH - "Jody and Gina were amazing to work with. The entire process from start to finish of selling and buying our new home, went so quickly and was so smooth, even with the craziness of the holiday. Their communication with us was excellent. They really made a rather stressful process quick and painless, and were a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend."

THEY MADE IT SO SMOOTH - "I was so excited to work with Jody and Gina again! They helped me buy my first house in 2016. With the current market, I was worried about jumping into it but they made it so smooth. My house had multiple offers the first weekend and accepted one by Sunday with the contingencies we wanted. The house we bought had fallen through another buyer so we were able to see it Monday and get an offer in right away. Their communication and customer service is top notch. I’m sad to be done working with them but so happy we got our dream house! You won’t regret choosing to work with this sister team!!"

THE KEY TO THE SALE - "Jody and Gina are amazing to work with! Our house didn't "fly" off the market like others that are in this market and they really put everything they had into making sure it sold. I have sold a house a few times in the past, and I always felt like I was the one doing all of the work. Not with Gina and Jody! They definitely were the key to the sale of our house and earned their commission! We love them so much we are going to sell a townhouse we rent next month and are choosing to work with them again."

AMAZING TO WORK WITH - "Gina and Jody are amazing to work with!!! They are both very professional yet very personable!! They truly want to find exactly what their clients are looking for!! They were always available to answer the many questions we had during the process. They absolutely love what they do and it shows while working with them. They were very responsive during the process. If you are looking to buy or sell, Gina and Jody are who you want to work with!!! Great experience!!!"

HELPED US FIND OUR PERFECT HOME -"My husband and I are working with these awesome sisters! They respond quickly to messages when we are interested in a property. They are great at getting showings setup for us right away too. When looking at properties they ask great questions that help us decide if this house is really the house for us. When they're showing us a property they point out things along the way that help us pay attention to things we may not have noticed. As we are walking through the properties they are checking everything out too. They make house hunting enjoyable and a little less stressful. They don't pressure us to make quick decisions or make us feel like we must find a house quickly. They really want to help us find our perfect home. It's so nice working with these sisters because they are sincere and you know they have good intentions."

HARD WORK AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE - "Gina & Jody are amazing! Because of their hard work and professional expertise, I was able to achieve a goal of mine and a longtime dream. At no time was I ever pressured by them or felt unimportant. I will certainly use them again in the future! Thank you!"

FUN AND EXCITING - "Thank you for everything. Jody and Gina and your girls have made this whole affair so fun and exciting!"

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY - "My husband and I were first time homebuyers and had a lot of questions/concerns when it came to purchasing a home and the realtor sisters were there for us every step of the way! They were very reliable and never pressured us into making any decisions. I would highly recommend Gina and Jody to anyone looking to purchase a home!"

LOOKED OUT FOR OUR BEST INTEREST - "Gina and Jody were great to work with! We listed in the winter and were on a deadline for a new construction home. They got our home listed and it showed very well even during January and February. Once we accepted an offer, they worked hard to get us the best deal and always looked out for our best interest in the transaction."

MADE THE EXPERIENCE FUN - "Jody and Gina are great friends and Realtors! They were there for me every step of the way. I love my new home and I enjoyed working with them. They made the experience fun. I would recommend them to my friends, family, and co -workers."

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED - "If you are getting ready to hunt for houses, call these sisters. You wont be disappointed. We told them what we were looking for and they found exactly what we wanted. Thank you Sisters of Real Estate."

EXCELLENT COMMUNICATORS - "A++ Best real estate duo! Jody and Gina were excellent communicators. They worked with the seller on many issues and question. They were fast, efficient and professional! They worked hard to speed up our timeline! They asked all the right questions and were amazing to work with! So happy with them! Don’t go anywhere else! These 2 are the real deal!"

JODY & GINA ARE AMAZING - "We wanted to sell our house and buy a new one in a specific location so our kids could be in our chosen school district. The sisters gave us great advice on what to touch up at our current home, and we got a very fair price for a current home and found our beloved new home! They made everything very easy and smooth."

ALWAYS PATIENT WITH US - "Gina and Jody were great. Always ready to answer our questions and keeping us informed. Always patient with us and listened to our needs. We just want to say thank you very much for helping us throughout the process."

ALWAYS AVAILABLE - "It was a pleasure working with Gina and Jody! You worked so hard for us to realize our dream home . We only had a 30 day window and you did it! I also loved how you were always available when we had questions! I would strongly recommend both of you to anyone that was selling a house! My neighbor who came through the open house said he was very impressed with the both of you! He said you made a point of telling him about the garage floor. He said he would use you as a realtor when it came time to sell! I think you eventually did meet with him! Thank you again Jody and Gina! Love you girls! I think your attention to detail surpasses any other experience I’ve had with realtors!"

PLEASURE FROM START TO FINISH - "Working with Gina and Jody was a pleasure from start to finish. They made the home buying and selling process very easy for us. We had a lot of fun and good laughs looking at houses and finding our forever home. They are both very down to earth and easy to talk to so it felt like we were working with old friends vs a stranger. When we bought our first house 15 years ago we used a random realtor. The difference between that experience and working with Gina and Jody was night and day. I appreciate all the time and energy they put into helping us find our new home and all the help and guidance they provided when selling our old home. I would recommend them to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home in the future. Thanks again for all your help through this entire process."

BLAST TO WORK WITH - "Gina and Jody have been a blast to work with. Our family highly recommends them. They did an outstanding job in helping us sell our property, in addition to assisting us on the purchase of two new properties. This was not an easy task, and you can image the amount of personal stress associated with this amount of activity. Their attention to detail certainly eased the burden of multiple transactions. They were very patient with us on any concerns we had, and kept in constant communication. In addition, a friendship formed with both. We are forever grateful for their efforts and highly recommend them."

THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL - "I worked with Gina & Jody on my new construction townhome - they were very helpful to have involved throughout the process and I'm glad I worked with them!"

ALWAYS AVAILABLE - "Gina and Jody did a great job. They were always available when we had questions, and were very helpful in all different aspects of the selling and buying process.

QUICK TO REPLY - "Gina & Jody did really well! They quickly replied to whatever questions we had and really noticed what needs we were looking for. We would recommend them to anyone in the future looking for a home!"

GREAT WORK - "The listing of the house and photographs was fantastic. My phone went crazy with showings the very first day. Very positive attitudes and extremely helpful. Especially with me not being a trained phone guy. Walking through on the phone was great. Partners Title was also very helpful and walked me through the list of questions. Available all the time. Very good For Sale sign. Loved their Facebook post of hard hats and hammers. Found people to aid in scrap metal removal and old septic tank removal. They have major contacts for whatever is needed. How do you go from listing to sold in less than a week. Great work."

GREAT FROM START TO FINISH - "We could not have asked for better realtors. Working with Jody and Gina was a pleasure. They were great from start to finish!

VERY PROFESSIONAL - "Gina and Jody helped us sell our first home. They were very professional and on the ball with everything in the process, making it go smoothly and as stress free as possible. They were very interested in finding us the perfect home. They got a feel right away for what we were looking for and didn't try to pressure us in to liking something. You could tell they truly cared that we found the right home for our family, and didn't try to rush us in the process. They worked many hours negotiating on our behalf and we were very pleased with our experience. We would highly recommend Gina & Jody."

AMAZING TO PARTNER WITH - "The Sisters of Real Estate Team were amazing to partner with in the selling of our home. They were always there for us. From helping us to prep our home for a showing, to 100% giving of their time to come to our home for the day pictures were taken to put our home on the market, they were always available!! They were knowledgeable about the change in market and worked closely with us to achieve our goals. We can’t say enough good things about this team!! They went to bat for us when there was an unexpected hiccup in the appraisal of our home and even though our closing date was later than expected we couldn’t be more happier with this team!!"

PLEASANT TO WORK WITH - "Jody and Gina sold our house in one day! They were very pleasant to work with and helped myself and my husband understand the process of the sale."

EXPERTISE AND FRIENDSHIP - "I want to thank you both so much for the professional and friendly expertise you shared when listing my Mother-In Law's condo in West St. Paul. You both made the process go easy with the assistance and kindness you shared. Gina, your help was greatly appreciated with all the documents, assisting us through the offer, the closing process, and answering all our questions. Real Estate transactions certainly are different in the Twin Cities from how they are handled in this area. I originally picked the two of you because of the "team" approach and, soon I knew, we picked the best called "The Realtor Sisters". Thank you once again for all your expertise and friendship."

WONDERFUL WORKING WITH THEM - "Gina & Jody sold my house in 2017 and it was wonderful working with them.

They told me what to do to get it sold at the price I wanted & it worked."

VERY RESPONSIVE - "The Realtor Sisters made sure everything went smoothly with my new house! Easy to communicate with and very responsive!!"

VERY PATIENT - "I loved working with Jody to find my new home. She was very patient with me and listened to what my wants were in a home. She was willing to see several homes (I think we saw 45) and I finally found my perfect home! I have been in my home for over a month and I know it wouldn't have been possible without Jody's assistance. I would recommend her to anyone selling or looking for a house!! It was obvious she cares about finding the right house for you!"
