Fantastic experience: Guertin Family Realty is truly a diamond in the rough. I can’t thank Dennis and Jane enough for helping me find and buy my first new home. The experience, professionalism, and knowledge they have is invaluable, and I am so happy with how the process went. If you want a Minnesota Nice Realtor team that is equally customer focused as well as absolute experts in the industry, you wont find anyone better than Dennis and Jane. They attend national realtor conferences, they have a strong network of trusted amazing partners, and they know the fine legal details and tricks of the trade that even experienced home buyers could over-look. Seriously - call or contact them at anytime and you'll receive a response within the hour. I had no idea I would learn that much about the home buying process and you guys made it so easy to understand which is crucial for a first time home buyer.
Thanks so much Nick! We really appreciate your outstanding recommendation.
Fantastic experience: The process of house hunting can be time consuming and requires a lot of effort in research and investigation. However, Dennis and Jane's professionalism has helped me a lot. As a first-time homebuyer, I enjoyed every house tour and with their help, I have been well informed and fully protected. Dennis and Jane will definitely be my first choice when I want to buy or sell a house in the future. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent Service! Phil Guertin
Fantastic experience: Over the years, we've purchased 3 homes (and sold 2) with Guertin Family Realty, and loved their insight, attention to detail, and looking out for our best interests (especially when we didn't know potential pitfalls). Dennis and Jane are a joy to work with, and we've recommended them to our friends.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are the best. You will not find more honest or knowledgeable realtors. They have helped us sell or purchase 3 different homes over the years and each transaction was smooth because of their attention to detail.
You guys are AWESOME! THANK YOU!
Fantastic experience: My girlfriend and I used Dennis and Jane to find our new home, and Guertin Family Reality did not disappoint! Dennis and Jane are wonderful people and are always looking out for the best interest of their clients. We would highly recommend using Guertin Family Reality to friends and family again in the future!
Thanks Andrew for that AWESOME review!
Fantastic experience: Five star family for sure!! Love these people!! They are always there and willing to help, They respond immediately to any request, 29 years since Dennis found us our house and we're treated like we just met. AWESOME!!!! Dennis and Jane are the BEST!!
Thanks Kristy! So good to hear from you!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane were wonderful to work with! Very easy to connect with whenever needed, thorough in explaining the process of selling and buying a house at the same time, and all-around very personable with being a family-owned business. Their knowledge and guidance were extremely helpful in ensuring the entire process went smoothly. Definitely recommend them to anyone!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We hope you are enjoying your new home.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Dennis back in 2010 when I was selling my old townhome and wanted to buy a single family home. He showed up prepared with comps for my home and equivalent homes vs the other realtors I had contacted. He was frank about the changes I would need to make and how to sell in that buyer orientated market. He listened to what I wanted in a new home and the areas. His passion for homes was clear. He would walk me through the potentials and point out the issues / benefits for each one we toured. His patience in finding me the land and home combination that I was specifically looking for and touring something like 50-80 homes was outstanding. He recommended an excellent home appraiser for the new home that pointed out a couple of key items that we were able to negotiate into the price. I would most definitely work with Dennis again if and when I sell my current home.
Genelle, you are AWESOME! Thank You! Dennis and Jane
Fantastic experience: We were about to sign a purchase agreement for a new house and were not sure if we even needed a real estate agent. We are glad we decided to get one otherwise we would have never met Dennis! Throughout the whole process Dennis was very responsive and always looked over anything we asked him to. He lent a level of expertise that us first-time home buyers really needed. We didn't even know what questions to ask or what to look for. Dennis made the whole process significantly less stressful and he was able to teach us many things about the home buying process. It felt great finding a local family owned business that cared about us as individuals and was there to serve us. Top notch service and I would highly recommend Guertin Family Realty to any other first time home buyers.
Ben, you and Katherine are AWESOME! Thank You!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dennis and Jane. I felt like they were looking out for my best interest every step of the way, they are very thorough and honest. They are wonderful people and I would recommend them to all of my friends and family.
It was a pleasure working with your family. Enjoy your new home!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are an absolute dream team. They made sure we found a home that fit us perfectly, always answered our phone calls and made sure we got the most out of our purchase. We never felt pressured at any point. Dennis is by the books and makes sure that everything is being done correctly and ethically. Jane got all of our paper work to us quickly and efficiently. All of our questions were always answered same day. We know who we will be calling if we ever decide to sell! We can’t say enough good things about the Guertins.
Thank you Maddie. We hope you are enjoying your new home!
Fantastic experience: Dennis helped us purchase our home almost 20 years ago. We were impressed that he seemed to know more than the seller's agent. He is now helping us find what we hope to be our forever home!
Steph, THANK YOU so much for your AWESOME review! It is SO MUCH FUN TO BE WORKING WITH you and Mark AGAIN! Matthew and Levi are AWESOME1
Fantastic experience: I love these hints and forwarded them to several friends
Thanks so much Pat!
Fantastic experience: Working with Guertin Family Realty has been absolutely incredible. This is our first time selling our home and they have made the process seamless! Their knowledge and advice has made us lifelong customers! We're going with them when we're ready to purchase in the future! Highly recommend!!
Thanks Anna!
Fantastic experience: I have trusted Denny and Jane with my real estate needs for over 35 years. They are people of their word. When on finally walk through we discovered the previous owners of the first house I bought had left garbage, Denny told me not to worry, he would handle it. And he did, personally removing multiple bags and items. Denny and Jane will work to find the best home for you, as well as receive top dollar when you sell a home.
Alexis, Thank you so much. We truly appreciate your business and friendship through all these years.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I had no idea where to start when we wanted to find a house. We searched for weeks before finally deciding to contact a realtor. We reached out to Guertin Family Realty, and they were very responsive. Their knowledge and expertise of the entire home buying process was exceptional, and gave us the information we needed to confidently move forward. We finally found our home and long story short, after a lengthy negotiation, we got it! Guertin Family Realty is truly exceptional. They consistently went above and beyond for us, and they treated us like family. I tell everyone I know, with a smile on my face, about our great experience!
Thanks so much Tauna and Andy! We are very grateful for your business and friendship.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane were there every step of the way to explain everything to us as first time home buyers. They went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. They even made a recommendation during inspection that saved us over $5,000. Thanks Dennis, Jane and Lee!
It was a pleasure working with you and Tara. Glad we could save you some money!
Fantastic experience: Guertin family is attentive to the our needs and our budget. They are more than just Realtor, they treat you like family. Have helped us find homes as our family grew.
Thanks so much Jim. It was a pleasure working with your family.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane were both great to work with. They handled the purchase of our home and we were so happy with our experience that we contacted them again for the sale of another house as well as the purchase of some land. They are dedicated, knowledgeable and very friendly
Thanks Franz! Your AWESOME!
Fantastic experience: Guertin Family Realty came highly recommended by our daughter and her husband, who used them when buying their first two homes. My daughter and son-law also recommended Guertin Family Realty to a dozen of their friends who proceeded to use them in buying their homes. We were very impressed with the realty knowledge and expertise that Dennis has, and all the research and paperwork involved in the purchase of our lakefront property was impeccably done by Jane. We found the entire experience working with Guertin Family Realty to be enjoyable, informative and successful in buying the perfect property that we were looking for. We highly recommend Guertin Family Realty for any and all of your real estate needs and know that your experience will be the same as ours. Mike & Lori Shodis
Thank you Lori! And congratulations on OWEN!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane Guertin were wonderful realtors to work with. Among many impeccable qualities they exhibited throughout our experience searching and buying our house, what impresses us the most about them was that they were as professional as one can get in their profession and carried the duty of searching for our house methodically. They also took us under their wings and coached us on what to look for and what to avoid as they know all the pitfalls through their years of experience. Right now we are not looking to buy a house but if we ever do again we will be doing it with Dennis and Jane. They helped us get our home with the thought of a long term benefit to us rather than getting low hanging fruit which would have been easy to do. However, they helped us choose a place that was and is still right for us and has been for the past twenty four years. Thus, we are grateful for their help and we are proud to call them our dear friends. Michael and Lonnie Yohannes
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Michael and Lonnie! You guys are AWESOME! Dennis and Jane
Positive experience: Dennis and Jane helped us sell our home within a few weeks. We got the price we wanted. Dennis came in and told us how to stage and enhance our home to get the best outcome. Would use them again for sure.
Thanks Barb! You and Mike are AWESOME!
Fantastic experience: There are not enough stars I can give or words I can use to describe what a wonderful experience working with Dennis and his lovely wife, Jane. Professional and very knowledgeable only scratches the surface of this amazing duo. Their practical approach, great sense of humor and a go getter attitude are just further proof of their undeniable ability to get the job done and get it done right!! I can honestly say that all my years of finance and negotiations don't compare to what I see as an understanding of the real estate world especially within the Twin Cities and around the state. The lengths to which they are willing to go to help you find the home of your dreams cannot be compared to other Realtors I've met. Although I plan on staying in my home for some time, I can truly say that when I am ready to sell and downsize, I will be taking full advantage of the Guertin Family Realty team. Because of their obvious knowledge and notoriety in the real estate world, I can imagine even others lucky enough to join their team will know the Guertin Code of Ethics is undaunted by their vigilant determination and commitment to their integrity. Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough. But nonetheless, I thank both of you for making my home ownership dreams a reality.
Thanks so much Lynda for your stellar review. You are a very special lady and dear friend!
Fantastic experience: Best realtors you can find. If you like working with people who respect you and won’t treat you like just another number Dennis and Jane are for you. Honesty and experience that will help you feel at ease when buying or selling your home. They are the experts you’ve been looking for!
Thanks Chris. We really appreciate all of your and Nicky’s referrals!
Fantastic experience: Guertin Family Realtors (Dennis and Jane) have provided excellent service! They have helped us buy and sell multiple homes. They helped with the purchase of my first home, to the staging and sale of both mine and my husbands homes, and finally the purchase of our together home. They listened to our wants and needs, educated us on the real estate market, and worked diligently to help us find the perfect home for us in challenging real estate times. I would highly recommend Guertin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. - Dawn & Drew
You guys are AWESOME! Thank you, thank you! Thank You!
Fantastic experience: We love Dennis and Jane! They helped us buy and sell our first home and purchase our second home. They are honest, hard working and their knowledge of the current market and historical markets helped us price our home right and make our home the most appealing home to buyers. They did a great job of keeping us informed and guiding us through what can be a nerve-wracking experience. You couldn’t ask for a better team!
Anne, once again, thanks again for your awesome review. Your family has always been special to us.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are incredible! Not only are they great realtors but they are also wonderful people. They guided us through every step of buying our first home and helped ensure that we had the smoothest possible transition. Their assistance helped us a lot and we definitely recommend them to anyone seeking to buy or sell a house!
We truly appreciate your recommendation. It was a pleasure working with your family!
Fantastic experience: Dear Dennis and Jane, Were it not for you, we would probably not have gotten our house. Your patience, persistence and advise enabled us to get exactly what we were searching for. You are true professionals and we thank you again. Tom and Nancy Solem
Thanks so much for your wonderful recommendation. It’s always a pleasure to work with you and Tom.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are a great team to work with. They were referred to me by a friend and were fantastic to work with from the beginning to the end of the process. Dennis and Jane will go above and beyond to make sure you get the right house. I have referred them to my friends and will continue to do so. You won't be disappointed to work with Dennis and Jane.
Karma, Thanks a lot for your very supportive review. And thanks for referring us to your friends.
Fantastic experience: Dennis is an amazing person. He has wealth of knowledge in real estate. We loved working with him!
Thanks Avi! We loved working with you too!
Fantastic experience: I’ve referred friends to Dennis he works hard and does what he says he will do
Thanks Jim! We really appreciate your referrals.
Fantastic experience: Jane and Dennis are wonderful to work with! They are extremely knowledgeable and thorough. We have purchased 2 homes and sold 1 through the years with them and have never been steered in the wrong direction. They treat you like family and look out for your best interests even after real estate transactions are complete. Our family looks forward to our continued relationship with Dennis and Jane. We never hesitate to refer our friends and family to them. Hands down, they are the most down to earth professionals in the industry!
Thanks Niya! We truly value your friendship, business and referrals.
Fantastic experience: Guertin Family Realty is the Best ever! We go way back and after 3 house transactions with them there is no better team anywhere. ❤
Thanks so much Kathy. It was a pleasure working with your amazing family ❤️
Fantastic experience: My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Dennis and Jane to sell our existing house and to purchase a new house. On our first visit with Dennis, he came with so much information about our house and neighborhood that you could tell he and Jane had done their homework - much more than others we had interviewed. The Guertin's were very helpful on what we should do to get our house ready to sell and had so many great contacts on who to work with during that process. Once the house was listed Dennis and Jane worked tirelessly and were very good on weeding out solid offers from weak ones. When it came to buying, the Guertins made sure that we had everything we needed and helped us to buy a great house in new neighborhood at a good price. We have really come to know Dennis and Jane as being hard working, honest and a great team. We were so glad to have them working with us.
Thanks for the awesome review Mark!
Fantastic experience: I have been using Dennis and Jane as realtors since 2001. Every house bought/sold has been stress free knowing they take care of everything and always have my best interest at the forefront. They are great people to work with and are very good at what they do!
It has been a pleasure helping you buy and sell three homes. We are so happy you and Tiff landed in Waconia!
Fantastic experience: Four and counting! That's how many homes have been bought and sold by my family using using Guertin Family Realty. My husband and I bought our home with Dennis and Jane. We had absolutely no idea what we were doing. We got a referral for the Guertins from a friend who had been happy with their services and gave them a call. We're so happy we did! With Dennis and Jane's knowledge, integrity and experience we came out the other side with a beautiful home. I highly recommend Guertin Family Realty.
Thanks for your trust in us. It’s always fun working with you!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are my realtors in Minnesota. When I decided to move from Illinois to Minnesota Guertin Realty was recommended. I contacted Dennis and he agreed to assist me. He was extremely helpful in finding the right location. In short, he and Jane handled everything over the phones. Long distance, I decided on a home. Everything was handled superbly. I made an offer and it was accepted! Practically sight unseen my realtors handled it all! Recommended highly.
Thanks Aggie. We’re so happy you moved to Minnesota and we became friends.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane have been amazing! They helped me purchase my first home. I lived there for 10 years and they did an amazing job at helping me sell that same home. They are thorough in the process and are good about keeping you in the know of what is going on. They will do whatever they can to help and are extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Every interaction with them is nothing but positive! You can't go wrong with Guertin Family Realty! When I purchase my next home, I will be going back to them. Thank you Guertin Family Realty!
Thanks for the awesome review LeAnn!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane have been my realtors for many years. Their knowledge of the market and market trends down to the specific neighborhood level, and their expertise at writing the best purchase agreements and navigating the paperwork to close the deal on a buy or sell of a house i think makes them unique and valuable as your representative in a complicated business.
Chris, we really appreciate your continued friendship and business.
Fantastic experience: Very professional, knowledgeable. Easy to work with,nice people.
Thanks Terry! Joe Schmidt says hello:)
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane make quite the team! While buying/selling can be very exciting....it can also be overwhelming. There are so many details and unknowns as you go thru the process. I feel it's important to have agents that are honest, experienced and truly have your best interest in mind.....hands down, that's Dennis and Jane. We've worked with them over the years and their knowledge is invaluable. There's a reason they've been in business as long as they have:) We look forward to continuing our search. Stephanie Starr Manley
Thank you Stephanie. We look forward to working with you again!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane helped us find our dream home years ago and then recently did the same for our daughter and her fiancé. They are extremely knowledgeable, hard working, thorough and fun to work with!
Thanks Jim. It’s was so much fun helping you and your daughter find your dream homes! We truly appreciate your friendship and business.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane helped me clarify my “wants” and “needs” in a home and helped me find the perfect property. Not only are they exceptional realtors, they are extremely fine people. I highly recommend them.
Thanks Pam. It was so fun to help you find your perfect home!
Fantastic experience: Honesty. Trust. Integrity. Words not used very often these days. But a reality at Guertin Family Realty. I've known Denny & Jane for over 30 years and have happily used their services. Denny & Jane put the client first. They're not out to make a quick sale. They take the time to listen and find out exactly what you're looking for. And help you find it. If they don't think it's a good deal, they'll tell you. What a concept! Have no reservations about signing up with Team Guertin. Denny & Jane are the real deal.
Thanks for your awesome review. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I met Dennis and Jane Guertin 20 years ago when we bought one of their listings. We were so impressed by the way they handled their responsibilities in that transaction that we listed with them when we sold the home years later. We have done business with them ever since and wouldn't even think about using another Realtor to represent us. They are honest, thorough, fair, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Guertin Family Realty
Thank you Rick! We truly value your friendship and business all these years!
Fantastic experience: I have bought and sold several homes using Guertin Family Realty. They are extremely helpful and so easy to work with. Dennis is out there right by your side for each property you look at, or are selling, answering every question and giving intelligent answers based on his years of experience. Jane takes care of everything behind the scene to make sure every I is dotted and T is crossed. By the time you get to closing, there are zero surprises, at least on your side! The Guertin family team, takes much pride in helping in anyway to make sure that your home buying, selling experience is a pleasure and as stress free as possible.
Thanks Kathy! We really appreciate all your business and referrals!
Fantastic experience: We have sold 2 houses and bought property with the Guertins and they have been exceptional! Their professionalism and depth of knowledge are unparalleled by anyone we have ever worked with in the past! They also keep an up to date list of other professionals (stagers, cleaners, painters etc.) that we have hired and they too have done amazing work. If you want to work with people who have values, know the business and ALWAYS keep their client front and center, you will want to work with the Guertins!
Thanks Bridget. It was so fun helping you and Rico through all the stages of buying your lot and selling your homes so you could build your dream home!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane Guertin did a wonderful job in selling our home, as well as, helping us find our new home. They were very professional.
Thanks so much Tina. We really appreciate your kind words! It’s always a pleasure to work with you and Bruce!
Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience with Dennis and Jane Guertin when they helped us buy a house in Mahtomedi in 2021. We had just sold our house in NC and between low inventory and Covid restrictions, it was a hard time to buy. Dennis and Jane kept us informed about new listings and were available at a moment’s notice to show us properties. They are both very professional and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or to recommend them to anyone I know buying property.
Thanks so much Sandy. We are thrilled you moved to Minnesota! It was a pleasure working with you and Len!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dennis and Jane with Guertin Family Realty, as I have had multiple experiences with them involving both the sale and purchase of a home. On each occasion they have proven to be very knowledgeable, experienced, thorough and willing to take the extra steps to insure things are done correctly and done well. As my real estate representative, I have found them professional, respectful and friendly, serving at whatever level of expertise is required.
Dave, thank you for the outstanding review. It is our great pleasure to have you and Karol as our friends and clients.
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane have been our realtors since 1994 when they helped us sell our first home and buy our second. They’ve also helped us sell my mothers house, then help her to buy another. They helped us sell my mother in law’s house. They’ve helped my sister to move locations 3 times. They’ve helped members of our extended family as well. Every single experience has been outstanding. Every family member who have worked with Guertin Family Realty have have told me. that my experience is not unique. Guertin Family Realty is run by the most ethical, honest, knowledgeable hardest working people I know. Guertin Family Realty knows the strategy to maximize your gain on your sale and get your best price on your new house. Guertin Family Realty knows how to get the ever expanding amount of paperwork done correctly and on time. The Guertin’s worked so hard to sell our first home. In a bad time of year to sell, January and February, they held 8 or 9 open house’s and eventually found that person who fit our house and offered us more than we were asking. Guertin Family Realty knows how to sell a somewhat neglected house in a desirable location, using their knowledge to create a bidding war on the first day on the market and netting more than we originally thought she would earn. In closing let me say that the trust I place in Jane and Dennis is unsurpassed by any other business I’ve ever dealt with. Timothy Manley Bonnie Manley
Bonnie and Tim this is the most AWESOME testimonial/review we have ever received! You guys are AWESOME as usual!
Fantastic experience: I am a repeat customer and I highly recommend working with Dennis and Jane Guertin with Guertin Family Realty. They are professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very competent. They look out for your best interest.
Thank you Patrice. It was a pleasure working with you again. We hope you are enjoying your new home!
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Dennis and Jane to buy and sell our first and second home! The most honest and caring in the business hands down. We have referred 10 of our friends and family to them who have subsequently had equally positive experiences. Thank you Guertin family realty!
Thanks for your awesome google review and all your referrals. You are the best:) Dennis & Jane
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are fantastic! They are very knowledgeable and really care about helping you find the right place for you. As a first time home buyer, they are more than happy to walk you through every detail of the home buying process. I have had friends and family work with them and all have had great experiences!
Sara, thanks for your wonderful review and referrals. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane were a joy to work with! The housing market has been tough for the last couple of years, but they both made the process as smooth as possible. They didn’t want us to just buy any house to make a sale, they really cared about us finding our dream home, and we did! They were quick to respond, even after hours and on weekends, and they took the time to listen and answer our many, many questions. Dennis was always willing to look at any and all homes and was wonderful at scheduling home showings around our busy schedules. As first time homebuyers, we could not be more grateful for Dennis’s honest thoughts and opinions on a property. We can’t thank Dennis and Jane enough for their help in finding our home. If and when we are ready to sell/buy we will for sure be working with Guertin Family Realty.
It was a pleasure working with you and Chris. Our greatest reward is educating and helping families purchase their first home. We hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
Fantastic experience: Dennie and Jane Guertin have been wonderful to work with during multiple real estate transactions. They are informed on the ever-changing scope of real estate, resourceful in finding out answers throughout the process, and take pride in going above and beyond for every client. I would highly recommend Guertin Family Reality for any one looking for a more personalized, rare to find, experience when it comes to buying or selling a home!
Thanks Jennifer, it is always a pleasure to work with you Spence!
Fantastic experience: Dennis and Jane are wonderful and honest person. From the start we felt we were in good hands. Dennis never tried to enforce any house. If the house was bad he would say it was bad and recommend not to buy. His knowledge in the real estate helped us a lot and I highly recommend Guertin Family realty to all.
Thank you Nirajan. It was a pleasure working with you!
