In their words

We were first time home buyers looking for a good neighborhood and a house we could update to make our own. We were introduced and referred to use Realtor David Olson after he had helped a variety of my family members buy and sell their homes. David helped us find the perfect place & get a great deal! We strongly recommend him because of his integrity, friendliness, local expertise, and the undeniable results he provided for us. If you need a terrific Realtor? CALL DAVID!

Buying a house you plan to update

A home that needs work can be a smart first purchase if you know what the updates will really cost. I started in the trades, so I’ll help you tell the cosmetic projects from the expensive ones before you write an offer.

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.

Please note: I don’t handle rentals or property management. I work with buyers and sellers, 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.
