Casey & Blake

Casey and Blake were first-time buyers who bought a short sale.

Here’s their experience in their own words.

Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying nearby.

Buying your first home?I’ll walk you through each step so you know what to expect before you write an offer.

In their words

We were first time home buyers and had a great experience working with David Olson. We met him at an open house and he was able to do an awesome job helping us buy our home. He brought clarity, helped us navigate expectations of purchasing a short sale, and was able to get us an awesome deal on our home. David did a great job and we absolutely recommend working with him!

What to expect with a short sale

A short sale needs the seller’s lender to approve the price, so it usually takes longer than a regular sale and the home is often sold as-is. I’ll help you set realistic expectations on timing, condition and inspections before you commit.

A simple plan for your move

I’ve been helping people sell and buy homes across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida for about two decades, and I build and remodel luxury homes too. I’ll help you see both what a property is and what it could be.

1Get clear on the numbersFor sellers, a realistic value for your specific home. For buyers, what your budget actually buys in the neighborhoods you like.
2Walk it with a builder’s eyeWe spot what an inspector is likely to flag before it becomes a negotiation.
3Prepare or positionSellers get a prep list and a staging plan. Buyers get a short list of homes that truly fit.
4Move with confidenceOffers, inspections and closing, with one steady guide keeping it calm and on schedule.

Getting the house ready, or making it yours

If you’re selling and want repairs handled before buyers see them, Super Crew Contractors can give you an estimate. If you’re ready for something custom, Ivy Lane Homes does luxury home building and remodeling. And a quick coverage check with Intrinsic Insurance before closing can save you a surprise. Read more client reviews, see how my buyer plan works, or ask what your home is worth.

Super Crew Contractors, Ivy Lane Homes and Intrinsic Insurance are owned by David Olson; you are free to use any contractor, builder or insurer.

Your next step

Every move is different. When you’re ready to talk about yours, I’m a call or text away.

Please note: I don’t handle rentals or property management. I work with sellers and buyers, and that’s where I can help you most in the Twin Cities.

Twin Cities market notes

Stay close to the market, without the noise.

Every so often I send a short, practical note: what Twin Cities homes did, prep tips that are worth the money, and neighborhoods worth a look.

    It looks like you’re already on the list. Thank you! If something didn’t come through, call or text me at 952-314-9446.
