Geoffrey Serdar, Realtor, Serdar + Partners Real Estate, Lake Minnetonka + Minneapolis, Compass

Fantastic experience: Hello everyone, I’ll keep it short and sweet: Geoffrey Serdar is the best of the best in the Midwest... And quite possibly the best of the best in the entire USA! That’s all from me.

Fantastic experience: Hard working agents who go the extra mile for their clients.

Fantastic experience: We've worked with Geoffrey Serdar for years, and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our real estate. We first met him as our leasing agent, and that grew into a relationship spanning multiple homes — he helped us buy in Eden Prairie, sold it for us when the time came, and then found us our place in Carver County, which we bought while we were living overseas, trusting him completely. We've referred him to friends and family over the years, and we even had him at our wedding. That tells you the kind of person he is. Now he's selling that Carver County home for us while we're in Hawaii — the second time he's guided us through a major move from across an ocean. Being that far away could have been a nightmare. Instead, Geoffrey handled it all: he coordinated and negotiated the painting, repairs, and freshening the house needed to show its best, and found a qualified buyer. He even arranged for that buyer to take over our existing low-rate financing — a real win in today's interest-rate market — and structured the sale so our equity was protected and the buyer had real skin in the game from day one. He answers his own phone, tells us the truth even when it's hard, and treats our money like it's his own. If you're buying or selling in Carver County or anywhere in the southwest suburbs, Geoffrey is who you call.

Fantastic experience: “As a landlord with a property in Chanhassen, I had already spoken with a few different real estate companies before connecting with Geoffrey Serdar. I wasn’t necessarily looking for another opinion, but I’m very glad I took the time to meet with him. Geoffrey initially reached out and we ended up having a very educational, low-pressure conversation. He asked thoughtful questions about my goals and what I was actually trying to accomplish with the property, which stood out compared to others who jumped straight into pricing or pitching services. It felt more like strategy than sales, especially from the perspective of a landlord trying to position a rental properly. This particular home sits in a higher-end rental category where you really need someone who understands both the sales side and the leasing side. Geoffrey clearly operates in both spaces, and that made a difference. He handled multiple showings, advised me to stay patient, and ultimately negotiated a lease above where we were most recently marketed, which spoke to his understanding of the Chanhassen rental market. What also impressed me was his consistency. He followed up with calls, a handwritten note, and stayed engaged throughout the process without being overbearing. That level of follow-through feels like something that’s been forgotten about in this industry, and it really stood out. I’m currently out of state, so having someone local to Chanhassen who can step in immediately if something comes up has been extremely valuable. Geoffrey has made it clear he’s available as a resource, and he’s already gone above and beyond on a few smaller requests without hesitation. For a landlord, that kind of local presence and responsiveness matters more than you realize until you need it. If you’re a landlord or property owner looking for a real estate agent in Chanhassen, Victoria, Excelsior, or anywhere around the Lake Minnetonka area, I would strongly recommend Geoffrey Serdar. Especially if you’re trying to properly position and lease a higher-end rental, his approach, communication, and market understanding set him apart. I look forward to continuing the relationship. Your friend, Todd”

Fantastic experience: Working with Geoffrey Serdar was one of the best decisions I made when selling my home in Richfield, MN. Geoffrey originally reached out after selling a nearby property for what I understand was one of the highest price-per-square-foot results in the neighborhood. That alone got my attention. When he came over to walk me through the process and share his perspective on the market, the timing couldn’t have been better—I had an unexpected move to North Dakota come up and needed a clear plan quickly. This was not an easy market to sell in. Interest rates were high, buyer activity was inconsistent, and my situation added another layer of complexity. What stood out immediately was Geoffrey’s strategy and level of involvement. Because I couldn’t always be present, he made a point to personally attend many of the showings, ensuring every potential buyer had a comfortable and well-informed experience. That kind of hands-on approach is rare. Geoffrey combines strong market knowledge with a very practical, no-nonsense approach to pricing and positioning a home. He communicated clearly throughout the process, stayed proactive, and consistently kept things moving forward—even when challenges came up. In the end, we were able to successfully sell the home and navigate a situation that could have easily gone sideways with the wrong agent. I always felt like he was advocating for my best outcome. If you’re searching for the best realtor in Richfield, MN or anywhere in the Twin Cities, especially in a challenging or shifting market, I would strongly recommend Geoffrey. He understands how to price, market, and personally represent a home in a way that actually gets results.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Geoffrey and his team to handle any real estate transaction. I met Geoffrey when he cold-called me, following my failure to sell my home through another realtor, who scheduled an endless parade of showings and open houses but could never close a deal. I was too exhausted at the time to list again immediately, but I liked Geoffrey's assertive, get-it-done attitude, and we stayed in touch. Eventually, I listed again. By that time, the market had cooled considerably, but Geoffrey sold my house just one day after the open house, after it had been on the market for just a few days—and he got the price I wanted. The difference between other realtors and Geoffrey—and the real value he and his team will bring to your transaction—is that he knows how to draw that line of connection between buyer, property, price, and seller. He is deeply knowledgeable of his business, understands property and its value, and knows how to SELL the right things to the right people—he's not just staging and talking and fluffing pillows and blowing smoke. He gets things done, and he gets them down now, and I really cannot think of any higher praise for a realtor than that. He's also kinda hilarious and a lot of fun to deal with, and that helps, too—I mean, who wants a boring realtor?

Fantastic experience: This was my first home buying experience, and I’m so glad I had Geoffrey as my realtor. He customized my search based on my needs, offered some suggestions along the way and provided a great app that made the hunt a breeze. During showings, he was very knowledgeable—he even pointed out things I wouldn’t have thought to check, like making sure the water softener and other systems were being maintained. Offer negotiations were very painless and quick and I felt like Geoffrey was fighting for me the whole way. He really made the whole process—from hunt to offer inspection to closing—easy to follow and much less stressful. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and friendly realtor.

Fantastic experience: I met Geoffrey Serdar a few years ago through my longtime friend Steffen Sharikov. I’m a locksmith, and after helping Geoffrey with some key work, we stayed in touch. Over time—through building my business, getting married, and welcoming our first child—Geoffrey kept showing up: listening, giving straight advice (not just what I wanted to hear), and helping me think bigger about both home and business. Traditional financing wasn’t the right fit for us, so Geoffrey focused on a contract for deed path. That’s not easy—quality homes with CFD options are limited—but he kept hunting until he found the right match in the west metro: a beautifully renovated home my wife loves, plus a separate four-car garage and an additional tuck-under bay that are perfect for my business. The finishes—kitchen, baths, trim, doors—were exactly what we hoped for. When it came time to negotiate, Geoffrey was relentless and detail-minded. He secured the property and protected our interests at every step, making a complex deal feel manageable. We’re moving from a one-bedroom into a home with real breathing room—more space, more storage, more bathrooms—and a setup that supports our family and my work. If you need a Minnesota real estate professional who is honest, creative, and persistent—especially if you’re exploring a contract for deed—talk to Geoffrey. I’ve already recommended him to friends and family, and I’m confident he’ll take great care of them too. Very grateful, Andrei

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey Serdar and his team have been helping my family for almost 12 years now across several transactions in Edina, Maple Grove, Plymouth, and soon Eden Prairie. Geoffrey has consistently been our trusted advisor for real estate decisions, always asking the right questions about what we truly want—whether that’s a beautiful view, tranquility, privacy, or safety. Most recently, we were looking for a home for our daughter as she was graduating from living at home and stepping into her next chapter. We had originally planned to stay in the Plymouth/Maple Grove area, but Geoffrey encouraged us to think more broadly. He showed us a home in Eden Prairie with a superior floor plan, modern updates, and potential appreciation opportunities. The home has an open-concept layout, private deck, attached garage, and access to walking trails, a golf course, and even a community pool—all the things that truly make it feel like home. What impressed us most was Geoffrey’s negotiation. In today’s market, few buyers feel like they are getting a deal, but he was firm with the seller and never pressured us. In fact, he even encouraged us to walk away, which ultimately gave us more leverage. That type of guidance is rare. Over the years, Geoffrey has been invaluable to our family. We couldn’t be more pleased with his thoughtful approach, insightful suggestions, and steady advice. If you want someone who is both strategic and genuinely invested in your best interest, Geoffrey Serdar is the person to call.

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We were introduced to Geoffrey Serdar and his team after a family member received a call from him about our Deephaven home. The property had previously been listed with another agent but didn’t sell. That family member encouraged us to speak with Geoffrey, and I’m so glad we did. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Geoffrey knew the Lake Minnetonka area, especially Deephaven and Excelsior, extremely well. He asked thoughtful questions about our previous listing and quickly identified why it hadn’t been successful. He wasn’t concerned about the fact that there were tenants in the property at the time we first met. He clearly had experience with that kind of sale and guided us confidently through the process. Geoffrey and Sabrina helped us build a staging plan that was both beautiful and budget-friendly. They coordinated furniture and art rentals and managed the setup and take-down from start to finish. What really stood out, though, was their marketing approach. Rather than just listing the property, Geoffrey created a compelling narrative about the home and the surrounding neighborhood. He produced a series of videos that were shared across multiple social media platforms and reached over 15,000 combined views. That consistent exposure brought in immediate strong buyer interest and gave us the leverage we needed to stay firm during negotiations. At the time, I was expecting a baby, and we were focused on preparing for that exciting new chapter while also navigating the sale of a home with tenants in place. Geoffrey was thoughtful, candid, and incredibly accessible throughout. He provided steady guidance without pressure, and always made time for our questions. His calm professionalism made a big difference during a busy and transitional moment in our lives. Compared to our previous experience, this process felt significantly more polished and strategic. I’m genuinely grateful we were connected with him. If you are selling in Deephaven, Excelsior, or anywhere around Lake Minnetonka, you want to work with Geoffrey Serdar and his team. They truly will go above and beyond to make a successful sale happen for you too!

Fantastic experience: Buying and selling a home is such a personal, emotional process—and I truly don’t know how we would’ve done it without Geoffrey. We’ve known Geoffrey and his partner, Sabrina, for years, and we’ve always admired how thoughtful, smart, and professional they are. But going through this process firsthand showed us just how above and beyond Geoffrey goes for his clients. Honestly, we will never use another realtor—Geoffrey is it for us! We were ready to leave our sweet little home in West Richfield and move closer to Prior Lake, where both my husband and I grew up. Geoffrey really took the time to listen to everything we wanted and needed—not just the logistics, but the emotional parts, too. He helped us pursue a lake home we thought we loved, and after months of work, when we realized it wasn’t quite the right fit, he didn’t skip a beat. He completely supported our decision to walk away and made us feel empowered, not pressured. That kind of care is rare, and it meant so much. Then we found the one. It checked all the boxes, especially for my husband—he was in love with the backyard and pool. Geoffrey helped us put together competitive offers, but someone else got it. It was heartbreaking. Still, Geoffrey didn’t give up. He stayed in close contact with the sellers and made sure our backup offer stayed top of mind. Six weeks later, when the original buyers’ financing fell through, Geoffrey had already laid all the groundwork. Because of his persistence and dedication, we got the house. I still can’t believe it! At the same time, he helped us get our Richfield home ready to sell—no easy feat, especially with all of Richfield’s strict city inspections and compliance rules. He lined up wonderful electricians, HVAC pros, and other tradespeople who were kind, affordable, and efficient. And while his pricing strategy made us a little nervous at first, we trusted him—and thank goodness we did. We set a record for price per square foot in our neighborhood. He knew exactly how to generate interest, create competition, and protect our interests every step of the way. Even after both closings, Geoffrey was still advocating for us. When the sellers of our new home removed items that were supposed to stay, Geoffrey handled it immediately—and made sure everything was made right. He just never stops caring. Geoffrey is more than a realtor—he’s a true professional, a steady guide, and a total rockstar. He’s emotionally in tune, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the people he works with. We’re endlessly grateful and wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else. Thank you, Geoffrey. We appreciate you more than words can say.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Geoffrey through Steffen Sharikov, who connected him with my cousin Jony a couple of years ago. Geoffrey was showing Jony properties in Orono at the time, and since then, he’s been an incredible resource for my family—giving my brother Andrei solid advice and helping us navigate real estate decisions in Minnetonka, Bloomington, and Edina.

Fantastic experience: Neighborhood Expert at “The Legacy” condominium in Downtown Minneapolis Geoffrey has made this an amazing experience already! This is my first time renting a condo and he set my mind at ease when I was unsure of the process! Thank you, Geoffrey!!!

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude to Geoffrey Serdar or Serdar + Partners, Lakes Sotheby's International Realty. As a 78-year-old immigrant from Poland, with English as my third language and an autistic daughter, I faced numerous challenges in preparing my home in Maplewood and moving to Woodbury. Geoffrey's exceptional care, patience, and expertise have made this transition extraordinary. Geoffrey put together an entire plan for me, even accompanying me to financing meetings with his recommended mortgage broker, José. He didn't just listen to my concerns; he gave me the courage to make this important move. My old home had become dangerous for me and my middle-aged special needs daughter due to the stairs. Geoffrey's support and guidance have been invaluable. There were many times when I became emotional and filled with angst, but Geoffrey always managed to calm me down, keep me in a positive mood, and show me the bright side of our plans. I honestly don't know how I could have done it without him. Thank you, Geoffrey, for being not just a great Realtor but a true friend and guide during this important phase of my life. - Bozena

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey is a Neighborhood expert at the Sexton, downtown Minneapolis, lofts condos, etc. - I highly recommend you work with him if you are looking to buy or sell a condo in downtown minneapolis, especially at the Sexton Lofts

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Geoffrey Serdar from Seedar and Partners to sell my house, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Geoffrey demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and expertise. I highly recommend Geoffrey Serdar and Seedar and Partners to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and his team are not the regular real estate team. They are detail oriented people who will make sure your needs are met and amazing negotiators who you want by your side whether you are buying or selling. I’ve had the pleasure to experience their hard work first hand and I recommend them 1000%. If I could describe them in one word it would be Closers.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey is a real estate guru who I’ve had the pleasure of working with directly. Introduced by a friend, I discovered he not only has a wealth of experience but also actively invests in real estate which is a game changer. He gets it. He shares his own mistakes, corrections, and risk mitigation strategies. This was invaluable in navigating the intricacies of real estate investment. From a marketing perspective, Geoffrey's career in Minnesota and the Twin Cities is fascinating. I’ve never met someone with so much energy! I'm grateful to have him as my agent and wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone in need of real estate negotiation to him.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and Kelly helped me buying my dream house in 2023. The house I bought was a short sale and it required to review and sign several documents in person. Kelly and Geoffrey even helped me bringing the documents to my work place and expedited the buying process for me. In addition, they did not put pressure on me for making decisions and I had a freedom to choose or decide on things. If you you are looking for a trustworthy and professional relator for your dream house, don't hesitate to contact the Geoffrey team.

Fantastic experience: Serdar & Partners are experts when it comes to home buying and purchasing items for your home. We felt very comfortable throughout the home buying process and even managed to get a discount on our place due to the timing and strategy that Serdar & Partners empowered to us to take.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey & Sabrina have been our landlords for a little over 2 years now. They recently sold the rental property & we didn’t know what to do because buying was a difficult option. Geoffrey stepped up and helped us purchase our first home! The lender he hooked us up with was absolutely amazing & everything went fast & smoothly! We were on a very tight time constraint given 60 days to figure something out & move out. We cannot thank you enough for helping us through this process!

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey is excellent at what he does & is a true professional. We have purchased a home (from out of state), sold a home, and purchased another home, all due to Geoffrey's guidance as our realtor. He is accessible nearly 24 hours per day, quick to respond & provide advice, & does not shy away from things that are complex or difficult. He also has a tremendous understanding of the ebb/flow of the surrounding market. I have the highest confidence in Geoffrey and his team to execute our shared goals. I will say, it's nice to have someone that we can call "our realtor" for the past 7 years. I would happily & confidently refer anyone to Geoffrey.

Fantastic experience: I am a former tenant of Geoffrey Serdar + Partners and I was always please with my interactions with him and his team. They were professional, friendly, and we always shared a laugh together. This is an industry that you sometimes have to deal with some tough cookies on both sides, but here I never felt that once. Geoffrey even offered to help me look for a new place when I was moving out. 5 stars to the Serdars I say!

Positive experience: Do not do business with Geoffrey Serdar! He attempts to be very intimidating and condescending. He speaks down to women and is very rude. there are a lot of good agents out there. If you wanted to be treated professionally and with respect, do not use Geoffrey. ETA 4/21: Geoffrey has now gone to the extent of finding me on social media and privately messaging me. To answer his response of reporting my review - We have had interaction as I communicated with you on behalf of my mother whom you tried to take advantage of, harassed and illegally evicted and stole money from because she was not willing to allow you to intimidate and force her to vacate earlier than what her lease allowed. Given that we are in the same business, you seemed shocked and unprepared for the legal knowledge I presented to you, and surprised that it came from a woman as well. It not only offended you, but also caused you to become more hostile. I stand by my initial review and will not allow you to bully me or anyone else moving forward. ETA also 4/21: After communication, while I feel there is more understanding to the situation, the behaviors are not excused, let me explain. There were obviously huge miscommunications by all parties at the time of the events described above and I believe we both can own up to those mistakes. With that said, the approach and the way things were handled were still a bit inappropriate. I will update my review slightly for misunderstanding some of the context to the situation (however maybe my personal social media wasn't the right move, but all good), but it truly still comes down to the attitude and behaviors that occurred. It should have never happened and there needed to be a level of professionalism and respect from both parties. I commend Geoffrey for hearing me out and taking into consideration what I have said and I wish him nothing but the best and I believe we all learned from the situation. I'd also like to readdress his issues with women - that may have been out of line, however him and I have discussed how his responses may have come off as sexist or against women. In our recent conversations, he was respectful, professional and did try to reconcile any misunderstandings in that regard as he was adamant that it is not in his character, and I believe him. I am happy to be moving on from this situation, as I am sure he is as well.

Negative experience: Geoffrey was pushy, rude, and insulting in the 3 interactions I had with him. Even though I never asked, he put me on his mailing list. I've tried to unsubscribe from it multiple times, but I keep getting the annoying, unwanted emails. He comes across as a sleezy and slick person, only interested in catering to people who can afford all the designer things and own multiple, million dollar homes. He left a horrible taste in my mouth, and continues to make me throw up a little every time I receive another unwanted SPAM email. The nicest thing I can say to or about him is: I hope you have the day you deserve.

Fantastic experience: Sotheby's Agent Geoffrey Serdar, along with his team at the (MN) Lakes branch, have gone above and beyond my expectations with both the purchase and recent sale of my property in Minneapolis. What started out as a professional relationship through a mutual friend has grown into something greater, where I've now found myself continually seeking out Geo's expansive business experience and overall real estate guidance. I would be quick to recommend my good friend Geoffrey for any type of transaction you may be beginning to explore!

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey was awesome and incredibly easy to work with! He was super responsive and was readily available when I had questions (I had a lot of them). I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my home! Thanks again for all of your hard work Geoffrey!

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and his team are such a professional and fun group to work with! I love Geoffrey's motivation and his "go getter" attitude! Without his help, we wouldn't be able to live the dream of owning a lake home! He made selling a home and buying two properties in less than 2 months seamless. Highly recommend him and his team - they are absolutely incredible!

Fantastic experience: Serdar Properties took ownership of the Commercial Office bldg. that my business has operated out of since 2016. Serdar and Team has continued to facilitate many improvements to the property. The Owner and Team are very easy to communicate with, are quick to respond to issues and seemingly have a great concern for the property!

Fantastic experience: Serdar + Partners is a great choice if you are looking for value as a buyer. Jake and Geoffrey helped me find the right condo downtown, negotiate a fair purchase price, and outline what to expect throughout the closing process. The team's experience dealing with relocation transactions helped with a complicated negotiation period. Jake made sure my questions were answered and everything stayed on track up to the closing day. Thank you for helping with my condo purchase!

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey Sedar and his team did something I thought was not possible. They convinced me to elevate the asking price of my condo beyond what I thought the market would bear and we achieved a settled sales agreement very close to the asking price! The closing sale price on my condo will set a new bar for condos in my complex and that is due to Geoffrey and his team. In addition, Geoffrey was very astute in his deep understanding of real estate. He was also very thoughtful and helpful in reminding me what is possible when we reach for it. In addition, Jake is an excellent administrator who was on top of every little detail and was an asset when it came to staging my condo for showings. Overall, I highly recommend Geoffrey Sedar and his partners for any of your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars, Geoffrey gave advice to keep the deal moving during negotiations, kept cool, and got the deal done. Will absolutely work with him again on future purchases.

Fantastic experience: Once again Geoffrey and Sabrina did an awesome job for us. We just closed on our sale of a very challenging property in Norwood Young America. It was a rental home which needed substantial updating. Even though we are in a sellers market, we had very few buyers interested in looking our place. Geoffrey and Sabrina worked tirelessly to put together a great deal for us. We have closed on at least a dozen properties with Geoffrey and we believe he and Sabrina are second to none in the real-estate business. Teresa and Tom Gregory

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience. I was able to relax and let Geoffrey + Partners Realty do what they do best. I had zero worries mostly because of their honesty with me and their communication. I was given an actual phone call with a detailed update on any change. I am grateful to have them on my side as my realtor.

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome experience working with Geoffrey Serdar and Partners! The process was quick, personable, and professional.

Fantastic experience: I knew almost nothing about buying a home, as this is my first home. Geoffrey and his team helped me through the process, stress and all!

Fantastic experience: This group is truly "world class" when it comes to their service level and knowledge. Geoffrey and his team worked quickly to guide my partner and I to finding a home that would allow our dreams to blossom. 5 years later, they helped us again to make the next best move for us. I truly think they may be the best in the Twin Cities.

Fantastic experience: I have been able to use them a couple of times. The team is on top of their game. They are Very knowledgeable, hard working, and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them. I plan to use them for all of my future purchases and sales.

Fantastic experience: Great team! Even when the negotiation got tough, the team came through!

Fantastic experience: Within the past 10 months, my husband and I have listed three homes and purchased three homes through Geoffrey and Sabrina. The two of them balance each other out so well and never stray from the most important aspect of their day, which is getting you into your perfect home and or making you the most money on the sale of your house. The brutal honesty when touring a home with these two is an extremely refreshing and rare characteristic in the real estate business. The two of them listen to exactly what you want in your life. They then assess your needs that you can’t yourself yet see. They really help to change your perspective when looking for a new home by walking you through the process of seeing things through their eyes. In preparation to sell two of our homes at the same time, they gave us a laundry list of things to do down to the current trends in paint colors. This was questionable to us at first. In finishing all of these tasks, our houses increased in value by tens of thousands and both went for well over asking price. If a property is not right for you, this will be expressed immediately and the reasons given are described in layman‘s terms so it’s easy to walk away from a desired property or an area because of the knowledge that these two bring to the table. Anytime I needed something from the two of them, Geoffrey would answer the phone and before I was even finished with my question, Sabrina will have already emailed me everything I needed in my inbox. They will fight for you and make Damn sure you are extremely satisfied with your decisions. After all, their reputation is on the line. They take this very seriously. The team of people they’ve partnered with have been involved in all six of these sales. I cannot express my gratitude and I am so impressed with their professionalism and accessibility. I have other friends that happen to be realtors and are shocked when I tell them about the innovative ways these two get things done. I’ve seen how other realtors operate. They don’t hold a candle to Serdar + Partners and I’ve realized that most other agents are a joke. The last sale of our home was so phenomenal in profit that I am careful to whom I share this with, as it almost seems too much like bragging. Most of this review is written in past tense, but it should be written in present and future because we will never stop working with them.

Fantastic experience: Working with Geoffrey and Sabrina was a great experience; they are a fantastic real-estate team. They gave us great advice on preparing and staging our previous house, came up with a strategic listing plan that generated a lot of interest in the property, and even better got us a great offer, even higher than we hoped, within just a few days. They also worked hard to find us a great new home. We have worked with them through two moves, 4 transactions, and hands down will use them again.

Fantastic experience: We can't say enough good things about Serdar + Partners! They led us safely through the quagmire of simultaneously buying and selling with two young children during a pandemic. With their thoughtful guidance we traversed the overwhelming mountains of sellers trying to back out of a purchase agreement and buyers trying to nickel and dime us post inspection. Through it all, they always made us feel like we were their only client and were honest and thoughtful about our options. Last weekend, we finally handed the keys to our starter home over to a wonderful new family and landed safely in our dream home. I truly do not think we could have pulled this move off with any other realtors.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and Sabrina have now advocated my husband & I in both purchasing and selling our first home in the past 5 years. They exceeded our expectations and took the fear out of the process of purchasing a home for the first time. When it was time to sell our home, they broke down all the necessary steps and provide us with recommendations to do before listing to ensure we get the best offer. Within 4 days of our home being on the market, we accepted an offer at full asking price! They’re extremely responsive & knowledgeable in today’s market. If you’re seeking a realtor that is incredibly hardworking, great at communicating & have your best interest in mind, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and Sabrina are supremely professional, highly responsive, have great local knowledge and are with you every step of the way! From all the details about staging our home to put on the market, to the back and forth negotiations, to having pizza delivered on our first night in our new home, they were there for us. I would highly recommend working with this dynamic duo.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly smooth home buying process for first time homeowners! Could not have asked for a more pleasant and professional experience from Geoffrey and Sabrina. Buying a home is a huge decision, and can be overwhelming, but Geoffrey and Sabrina were available anytime for small or random questions. If I could give extra review stars I would. 6/5 overall experience.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and Sabrina are great at what they do. They helped me buy and sell a home and the process could not have gone smoother. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new home!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working with Geoffrey and Sabrina. They are extremely responsive to all of my questions and calls. Their professionalism, knowledge, and honesty pave the road to a smooth transaction, every time! I highly recommend Serdar + Partners for all your real estate needs.

Fantastic experience: The experience that I have had with Geoffrey and Sabrina has been great. they have been professional in every aspect and have always returned my calls and emails without delay. they have been great to work with and wonderful landlords.

Negative experience: These two don't even deserve one star. I had the unfortunate experience of renting from Sabrina and Geoffrey. While the property was nice, the lease agreement (among many other things) was absolutely ridiculous. •We were charged to have mouse traps placed around the property and AGAIN for each time they were "checked" (what tenant should be responsible for that?!?) And they never disclosed the actual bill so the likeliness of them lying is high. •In one month we paid a higher water bill than what a family of four would pay for an entire house in 5 months, and we were only in a three-bedroom duplex! •To top it off they also stole our deposit. Charged us for the wildest things even though we recorded Sabrina saying that the place looked great. •At one point Geoffrey even left me a threatening and harassing voicemail over a leaky pipe. I could go on, but I'll spare you. If I were you I would say as far away from these two as possible. Just to put things into perspective I had a lawyer ready to work pro bono to take them to court. They are the definition of sleazy. Maybe they sell the hell out of houses, but they are TERRIBLE landlords.

Fantastic experience: Geoffrey and Sabrina are without a doubt the best real estate professionals I have had the opportunity to work with. They are incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, and creative. You can always trust them to give you sage advice, and they are excellent negotiators. Most importantly, they conduct their business with the utmost integrity.
