Hi Joel,

Well its done and we are now in an apartment in Hopkins. We have been working like crazy to get everything unpacked.

Again we want to thank you for all your hard work to sell our home. It was a fast and furious sale (sold and closed in less than 30 days), but we are happy to start this new chapter in our lives.

Thanks again,

Joe and Lee Bane                            

147 Wildhurst Road, Tonka Bay

Dear Joel,

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for the job you did in selling our property.  In this challenging market we wanted to engage an agent who had the expertise to work with the trying dynamics of a relocation.  Your determined efforts thoughout the entire process more than exceeded our expectations.

Your understanding of the current market with trends both for buyers and sellers was right on the money.,  The recommendations to presenting our property and staging of it proved to be successful.  All of the feedback from potential buyers was positive proving to us that the home was being targeted to the right audience.

The open house was well run and received along with the broker open.  This is a testament to your working relationships within the industry as well as the respect of your peers.

The office staff was courteous and very professional as well.  Every interaction or question we had with them was treated with superior customer service and attention.

The end results was, the sale of our property in 27 days.  With the full asking price.  This would not have been possible with out your efforts, understanding and professionalism.

 

Please extend our gratitude to your staff as well.

Sincerely,

Steve and Lisa Croissant

When the time came to sell our mother's house we knew Joel would be our realtor, knowing his reputation in the Lake Minnetonka area. From the day I signed the Sellers agreement to the day I signed the Purchase Agreement, Joel kept us informed of all the details every step of the way to closing. I would recommend his services to everyone.

Thank you Joel,

Dan Zoellmer

To Whom It May Concern:

We met with several real estate agents before deciding to list our home with Joel Hentges

Our decision was based on a few select criteria:

1.  Agent's ability to provide unbiased research and feedback

2.  Agent's ability to properly price our house

3.  Agent's ability to keep us abreast of potential new listings

Joel exceeded our expectations as we sold our house in less than 90 days in a declining housing market.  Furthermore, we were able to close on a charming colonial in a fantastic neighborhood all because of the relationship and support that Joel provided us.  If you value honesty and integrity over puff and fluff, Joel's your realtor!

Dear Joel:
 
    We were thinking about you the other day as we relaxed in our new home here.  We agreed that you were the best realtor we've ever encountered, on the buying and selling end.  If you'll recall, on the buying end we had one long weekend to find a house, and you were a trooper as we marched from one to another.  And selling the house in December - supposedly the wrong time to sell - was a breeze.  We were completely confident in you, even as we were 1,500 miles away at the time.
 
    In both transactions you were patient and good at calming us down.  Buying and selling a house can be pretty stressful and it's important to be guided by someone who will not force his or her decisions on you, and on the other hand will patiently explain if something (usually under stress) is not the best or most rational option.
 
    Anyway, thanks again.  We have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.
 
                                                        All the best,
 
                                                        Peter and Laura Metrinko
 

 
Dear Joel,
 
    I want to thank you for the truly excellent work you did on the sale of our brother's home. You worked hard to help prepare the home, kept us completely informed and did everything you said you would and more!
 
    You are a true professional and I thank you so much for your dedication.
 
All good wishes,

Dear Sir or Madam,
 
    I have known Joel Hentges for over 27 years.  I met him when we purchased land in the city of Shorewood and began building a home.  Joel was very familiar with the area, having grown up in the area.  Over the years we lived there, we became more and more aware of his capabilities as a Realtor.  Almost more importantly, we got to know this caring individual and admired his values.
 
    When it came time to sell our home (after 10 years), there was no doubt in our mind who would best represent us and Joel did a wonderful job pricing and selling the home in a very short order.
 
    When 5 years later we found ourselves with a home in St. Louis Park to sell, we called on a local agent to evaluate the home.  This person represented a much larger company than Joel and stated they specailized in the area.  When the value came back at 15% less than we anticipated (even with what appeared to be good reason), we again called on Joel.  Much to our surprise, he was well educated on the neighborhood and evaluated the home at exactly what we thought, with justification and sold it in record time!
 
    Most recently, we again called on Joel to sell a vacant, nearby land locked parcel in Shorewood.  Not only did he sell it, but before attempting to sell it, he spent dozens of hours looking into the feasibility.  We easily agreed upon a value and it sold with days!  Joel spent an additional 5 months time to make sure all barriers that were put in place, fell apart and the sale closed.
 
    I recently recommended Joel to a friend.  He, like me had a wonderful experience and sold his non-typical home quickly, for the price that made sense.
 
    I warmly recommend Joel to anyone who wants to work with an honest, forthright, hard working agent, who will do whatever it takes to earn your respect.
 
Sincerely,
 
Dick Keifer
