Fantastic experience: We had been working with another realtor (Jerry W) before coming to berkshire and working with Katelyn R. Jerry was a nice guy and had a lot of knowledge on houses but we had put offers on houses and didn’t get anywhere. We also liked houses he showed us and he would steer us from them because he didn’t like them for whatever reason. We had looked at houses and spent up to an hour plus at some, him explaining everything he didn’t like about them and we’d always leave stressed out. We about gave up on house buying several times. Later on (after finding Katelyn) we came to the conclusion he didn’t have the greatest reputation of being easy to work with and that’s why we weren’t getting the houses that we put offers on. He even blamed our budget several times, and became angry with us at one point. He tried to make it right after getting mad at us, but at this point we knew something wasn’t right about working with him. ONE WEEK after starting with Katelyn we got a house! We were shocked by this and how wonderful she has been to work with. We are first time homebuyers and she made the whole process so easy! She walked us through step by step and made it all so simple. We are so excited about our new home and would HIGHLY recommend working with Katelyn. She has been amazing and made everything stress free. Definitely work with her!

Fantastic experience: Adam helped us sell our home in May 2022. He was always timely and professional! Selling a home is quite the process and Adam made it very easy by explaining every detail and being flexible with our schedules. I would definitely recommend him for your buying or selling process!

Kidd Kidd Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Yes this was an easy and memorable experience thanks to this reality. Five stars to Adam Helgeson. Thanks Adam for helping us get into our first home, painting the shed lol, answering my 1000 questions, easy to talk to, and for getting us into our next chapter called life. Thank you for your service. Will be hearing from me in about the next 5-7 years when we want to find a place country side.

Fantastic experience: Adam Hegleson went above and beyond assisting me in purchasing my first home. As a young woman with no experience purchasing homes, I was initially very intimidated to begin the home buying process. It is astonishing to see how much my attitude has transformed. A once frightened person now holds the tools and education necessary to own a home, all thanks to his patience, kindness, and experience. His knowledge about the local area and surrounding homes is extensive. He highlighted the aspirations I was looking for in a home and found me the perfect place. Adam made this whole process for me so smooth; answering a surplus of questions via text or email, rapidly. I would highly recommend him to anyone if you get the chance to work with him!

Brian Kiefat Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Adam Helgeson at Berkshire Hathaway did a superb job of helping us purchase our property. I was particularly thankful for the knowledge he had regarding what a proper structure should look like, and his willingness to share that knowledge with us. He caught many things that my wife and I had simply overlooked. He remained constantly accessible to us and was extremely flexible in making time to show us homes. Overall, he made purchasing our property a quick, easy, and painless experience. We are now looking to acquire a second property and are using Adam again. We most certainly recommend him.

Joe Stark Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The company was easy to work with and had knowledgeable staff. Adam was the one that we worked with and he worked hard to find my fiance and I a home as he worked with us for over a year.

Fantastic experience: Buying my first home is something I always wanted and working with these guys make the journey something to remember, Josh, my realtor a good guy working with him I tell him once and he delivered thanks again.

Kathy Foret Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Adam Hegelson was great to work with. He explained the selling process, gave a very professional presentation on what we could expect from him as our selling agent. There were no surprises. His marketing of the property was more than we could have hoped for and I do believe that was instrumental in getting the property sold. Communication was excellent and he is very responsive to calls, emails and texts. We would not hesitate calling on him in the future to handle our real estate needs.

Amanda Blain Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Jon Borden was absolutely wonderful to work with. He helped me buy my house in 2017, and he was absolutely who I wanted as my realtor to help me sell my house this year. He is so knowledgeable and dedicated to his profession and his clients. He even vetted my new realtor in Washington, DC without any guarantee of if he would get a referral fee. Just an example of how much he'll do for current, or former clients!

Melissa Johnson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: We had Rhonda as our realtor from Berkshire Hathaway. She helped us out two times, once selling a home to us and then selling our home for us. She went above and beyond her duties to help us in any way possible to make things go smoothly. She is very personable, caring and very knowledgeable of every aspect of the housing market. I highly recommend her to anybody! She truly cares about her clients and always goes the extra mile for them!

Thank you for your review Lee, I'm so glad to hear that Josh made the experience of buying and selling your home a positive one!

I'll be sure to pass on your feedback to him. It's great when we can make our customers feel like they're in good hands with us--thank you again for sharing what you liked about working with Josh!

Brittany Denesha-Jackson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: When we were new to the state and needed to purchase a house, we had the pleasure of meeting Josh. Everything went smoothly, I was in NY and my husband was in ND at the time of the purchsee. Six years later, we needed to relocate again. So of course we went with Josh for selling the same home he had helped us purchase. He priced it just right. We had lots of showings within 24 hours, resulting in multiple offers and a quick sale! It was the least stressful part of our relocation, even with our family moving out of state in the middle of the sale.

Fantastic experience: In 2020 I begin an unusual property search. I/we were looking for a house in Crookston that I would eventually sell to my grandson. Adam Helgeson was the realtor with whom we dealt. This was not our first experience with Adam as he had helped my granddaughter and her fiancee find their first home, also in Crookston. During that scenario I accompanied the couple as Adam took them to several different homes in their price range. He was always so willing to answer questions, plan another showing of a different home if the one they were looking at just wasn't "the right fit,"( and he was charming and friendly through the entire ordeal!!) Our experience with Adam during round#2 while searching for the right home for my grandson was equally satisfying. Adam made several trips from Grand Forks to Crookston to show us different homes. Eventually the perfect house for him was found. I made the purchase with Adam's assistance and a year later my grandson purchased the house from me (again, with Adam's assistance.) In case I have any more grandchildren that decide they wish to purchase a home in Crookston we will be seeking out Adam as our preferred realtor. I wish to give Adam Helgeson an A+ for his drive, effort, sense of consideration, and professionalism. Thank you, Adam! Connie

Thank you for your review Connie. I am so pleased to hear that Adam was able to help with both of the purchases!

I will make sure he sees this feedback and is acknowledged for his hard work. The fact that you would trust him again speaks volumes about the level of service you received from him, and we are happy to know he continues to exceed expectations in your eyes.

Fantastic experience: Adam Helgeson has been great to work with. He's patient and doesn't rush you, he's on top of getting answers to all the questions you have, has the experience, and has a true passion for what he does. I highly recommend going to him for your home/business property buying/selling needs!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Adam Helgeson and the Berkshire Hathaway team! My wife and I needed to buy a home in a short period of time, and Mr. Helgeson was very helpful in our search. He also was extremely responsive with phone calls and in setting up house walk-throughs. I am very appreciative for the help we received in this critical moment of our lives, and I am grateful Mr. Helgeson and the Berkshire Hathaway team were there for us!

Perry Aanenson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Recently my wife and I were working on purchasing our first home together, and for the last year or so have been looking at local options. We were lucky enough to get an opportunity to purchase a home through a closed sale. Adam Helgeson was chosen as the agent to represent both the seller and the buyer. I was recommended to consult with Adam from my father, who was an acquaintance of Adam's from the past. Adam proved himself to be incredibly understanding and knowledgeable of this process and understanding of my inexperience. He was especially prompt in his communication, and returning any messages or phone calls. Through the course of this whole process, the one bright light in the frustrating, difficult, new process was Adam and by proxy his team and coworkers. I would gladly recommend Adam's services to anyone needing a guide through the crazy real estate world be it friend, family, or strangers.

Fantastic experience: When we moved from Montana, Adam Helgeson went above and beyond to help us with our long-distance home purchase. He had excellent recommendations for every stage of the buying process and was easy to communicate with. We actually put an offer on our house before seeing it in person after Adam viewed it and gave us his honest, spot-on assessment. We put a lot of trust in him, and he did not let us down. We were so confident in his knowledge and handling of our purchase that we happily referred him to our friends.

Fantastic experience: Big thanks to Berkshire Hathaway for helping us get the perfect plot of land! Adam Helgeson helped us set up looking at properties during a visit from out of state on two different occasions months apart. In between visits, he sent my husband properties for us to look at and as he learned more of what we were looking for, his recommendations brought us closer and closer to our new property. When we finally found the *perfect* property, he was super helpful with communicating with the sellers regarding our unique situation of buying using a USDA/FSA loan. We greatly appreciate Adam's help as we are now the proud owners of a great property that fits our family well!

Fantastic experience: The agents were very polite and helpful, but you definitely have to choose wisely so that you have someone who understands your needs. Our realtors were beyond helpful and patient with us. They made the process easy to understand and were very knowledgeable. They were easy to approach about any question we had and worked well around our schedules. We are very grateful to them and the company.

Fantastic experience: Quick, organized, knowledgeable and friendly. These guys do not just provide a service-rather they seemlessly become a member of YOUR team. Mike recently helped me land a commercial lease in the grand forks area. After providing Mike with a variety of site requirements, he provided me with a well thought out list of properties. Further, mike was kind enough to drive me around grand forks to tour the properties. After identifying the right property Mike was able to negotiate a lower lease rate and deliver a draft lease within two days. Thank you Mike for being a team member and helping us find the perfect spot!
