Edina Realty Central Pkwy, Eagan

Marty Tierney was wonderful to work with! Even with the crazy market we had our first offer accepted and the closing process was so easy. Our experience was great and I'd work with Marty and Edina Realty again.

Donald the broker is one of the most inept individuals I have ever met. They completely botch a transaction for the for the 18 months and forced me to spend hundreds of thousands in legal.

We met Josh Bauer-Boyd through an open house for a property he was selling. Josh presents as an honest, straight-forward guy, but we learned that wasn’t the case — the hard way. We ultimately ended up making an offer on this home after said open house. Now, I know the market is crazy, but this was just poor form… We submitted our offer later in the evening and followed-up with Josh to see when they’d be taking the time to review it. He had actually been bowling at that time with the sellers (it is a family friend, as he told us), and they’d be sitting down to look at it in the morning. While we’d hoped to hear that evening, we understood. The next morning, our realtor had to chase Josh to get any information at all. As it turns out, Josh and his sellers hadn’t even looked at the offer and were moving ahead with another open house. Fair enough — they want the best they can get. But here’s the issue — they told us they’d be looking at them in the morning (blatant lie) and they could have told us they would be going forward with the open house anyway and we could have not rushed to get our offer in the day prior (very deceitful as a whole, if you ask me). This would have also afforded us the time to see more open houses and schedule showings for the day of Josh’s second open house, but since he assured us they’d be looking at it in the morning we chose to wait before we scheduled more (as not to waste anyone else’s time). All around, the communication and honesty is just not there. He may be nice on the surface, but really Josh is just charismatic. Lesson learned not to take Josh’s word at face value because you’re just hurting yourself in the long run. Personally, I wouldn’t work with Josh or Edina Realty as a buyer OR seller after this experience — the integrity just isn’t there. Edina Realty, you’re better than that by a long shot.

Our Realtor from Edina Realty was prompt and helpful as we worked to find a home. Unfortunately, as we moved into the closing process for our new home we began to run into difficulties. At the start of our home closing we notified Edina that we planned to be on vacation during the closing date and would need to assign a power of attorney. Even with my numerous requests to ensure everything was completed prior to our departure, the closing was less than smooth. Setting a power of attorney is a rather common practice in Realty. Our closing team, however, seemed unprepared to execute smoothly. My dissatisfaction was compounded once we returned from our trip and found out about the difficult closing process. At that point I would expect to receive an apology from the Edina team that I am paying to complete the transaction. Instead, the Edina team was quick to direct the blame elsewhere. If you are planning to work with Edina Realty for your next home purchase, I hope that your experience is better.

My wife and I recently purchased a home with Rebecca Bedell at the Edina Realty office in Eagan. She was an absolute gem and fought for us up until the very last signature. Without Rebecca, we could have ended up in a very bad spot after closing if it wasn't for her determination to protect our purchase. She is a bulldog and will not overlook anything. Thanks Rebecca for all the hard work you have done for my wife and I!

Melissa Clawson has been so great to work with, very professional, absolutely listens to what I'm looking for and every suggestion matches. She is excellent with explaining what is needed and fully assisted me every question or concern I was having. Now I can enjoy the rest of my story knowing everything is in place.
