The problem: most moves go sideways in the details

Most agents only see one slice of that. When a surprise hits, you end up calling three different people and hoping they talk to each other. That’s how sellers leave money on the table and buyers inherit problems they never priced in.

The solution: one guide who sees the whole house

I’m David Olson, Realtor | Broker. I started in the trades, spent years as a pastor, and for about two decades I’ve been a real estate broker and home builder here in Minnesota, where I’ve lived my whole life. I’m a fourth-generation builder, a licensed general contractor and a licensed insurance agent, so the questions that usually derail a deal are ones I can answer on the spot.

Real estate experience you can trust

What that means for you

• If you’re selling: a price grounded in recent sales and your home’s actual condition, and a prep list that spends money only where buyers will pay you back. If repairs make sense, Super Crew Contractors can handle them.
• If you’re buying: a builder’s walk-through before you write an offer, so you know what’s urgent, what’s routine and what’s cosmetic, and an offer that’s competitive without leaving you exposed.
• Either way: one steady guide from first conversation to closing, with your coverage checked before you sign (Intrinsic Insurance can help).

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

Where to start

Selling? Start with a home value estimate or the seller questionnaire. Buying? Start with the buyer questionnaire.

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.

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 my Chaska homes guide for a look at how I write about a market.
