The Services

Here in Minnesota, we don’t just sell homes; we help you find your lifestyle. From mornings on the lake with coffee in hand to snowy afternoons on the slopes and cozy evenings by the fire, every property Sandy showcases is a doorway to the way of life you’ve been dreaming of.

For buyers

Discover Your Dream Home

I’m here to guide you through every part of your real estate journey. With years of experience and deep local knowledge, I help buyers find the home that feels just right. I bring trusted connections, creative staging, and smart strategies that make a difference. Every client deserves focus and care. Every home has a story. My role is to listen, to advise, and to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. This is more than real estate, it’s about building the life you imagine.

  • For me, real estate always begins with listening. I want to understand your goals, your lifestyle, and what truly matters to you in this next chapter. Whether you’re dreaming of your first home, planning a move, or looking to maximize the value of your property, I take the time to learn your priorities so I can craft a plan that fits you perfectly.

  • When you’re searching for your dream home, it’s not just about the house, it’s about the lifestyle. I’ll help you explore all that Minnesota has to offer, from mornings on the lake to evenings in the Twin Cities. With my knowledge of Forest Lake, Chisago Lakes, White Bear, Shoreview, and beyond, I’ll guide you through neighborhoods that fit your vision. Together, we’ll uncover the place that feels like home and reflects the way you want to live.

  • Once we’ve found the right property, my focus shifts to making it yours. From crafting competitive offers to navigating negotiations with confidence, I’ll guide you through every step of the process. With my experience and Certified Luxury Specialist training, I know how to position you for success in a competitive market, so you can secure your dream home with clarity and peace of mind.

For Sellers

Maximize Your Property’s Potential

Every home deserves to shine. I highlight your property with professional staging, photography, and marketing that captures attention. My approach blends proven strategies with modern tools to reach qualified buyers quickly. From listing to closing, I stay focused on details and timing. Selling is never one-size-fits-all, and I adapt every plan to your goals. The result is a smoother process, stronger offers, and the confidence that your home is in the best hands.

  • When it comes to selling, understanding your home’s true value is the first step. I take the time to assess your property carefully, looking at market trends, neighborhood activity, and the unique features that set your home apart. With a detailed, honest evaluation, I give you the clarity you need to price strategically and position your home for the best possible results.

  • I believe every home has a story, and my job is to tell it in a way that attracts the right buyers. From professional staging and photography to virtual tours, targeted online ads, and social media campaigns, I create a marketing strategy designed to maximize exposure and highlight what makes your property special. My goal is to generate excitement, drive interest, and position your home to sell quickly and at the best value.

  • When it’s time to close, I make sure every detail is handled with care. From coordinating inspections and appraisals to working closely with lenders, title companies, and attorneys, I keep the process moving smoothly. My focus is on protecting your interests, reducing stress, and ensuring there are no surprises along the way. The finish line should feel exciting, not overwhelming, and I’m here to make sure you hand over the keys with confidence.

I also connect you with trusted local resources to make the transition smoother. Relocating to Minnesota isn’t just a move; it’s a chance to create the life you’ve been imagining, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

  • In our initial consultation, we'll discuss your relocation needs and preferences. We'll talk about your ideal home, lifestyle, and any specific requirements you may have. This step helps me understand your vision, so I can provide you with the best relocation options.

  • Based on our consultation, I will provide a tailored property search, presenting you with homes that meet your criteria.

  • "Sandy is the best!! I had my house listed by another agent and the house would not sell. The listing went stale after being on the market for four months with no action. Sandy came in with full confidence that she would get it sold. Sandy went above and beyond with her marketing! Before we got to the open house we already had an offer. Took less than a week to have an offer contingent! Sandy is an expert and very professional when it comes to dealing with split couples too! Would definitely go with Sandy again!”

  • "We were looking for a townhouse in Forest Lake MN and really wanted to be On Forest Lake. As we all know, that is a near-impossible request. Sandy showed us a few townhouses that were nice, but just not with that million-dollar view. One day she called us on a new listing, First Day, and we rushed over to look. This townhouse was Exactly what we had been looking for and Sandy helped us write an offer that very day. We were outbid and our dream house slipped out of our hands. But Wait, this was not Sandy's first rodeo, so she tenaciously "camped out" on this listing Every Day, she knew how much we wanted it. Sandy called us late one night, the other buyers did not qualify. Sandy worked up a strategy with us and before the house was "relisted", she had the listing agent show the seller our original offer. After some back-and-forth negotiating, We Got Our Dream House! This was Only because of Sandy's experience, professionalism, connections and tenacity."
