Minnesota Realty Group

I am so disappointed that I agreed to the guaranteed offer. First
of all Opendoor who took the contract for my house is absolutely terrible. my house was in really good shape except for a couple of minor details and they didn't even fix it, right.
I have felt a lot of pressure to buy the place I am in. I wish I could go back and do everything over again and it's only been a year since I acquired this place.

The guaranteed offer program is a scam, do not waste your time. Their initial offer for our home was 345k. The team called and said they needed to do an exterior inspection (there are no issues with the exterior of the home). After this inspection was completed the Kris Lindahl team stated we would need to pay them 6k to take our home. This experience was a massive waste of time and very disappointing.

We were sent an email confirmation and spoke to an agent to confirm our appointment. We waited for 15 minutes. Could not get a hold of anyone at the agency. Called the organize, the main line, the realtor. Finally the organizer, Ashley Roy writes back, "sorry we couldn't figure this one out, not sure what happened." We tried to call her, she would not pick up. Finally got a hold of someone on the main line and though she promised to find out what was going on and call back, she just never called us back. Everyone is super apathetic and useless. Don't waste your time.

I called to check out this "Guaranteed Offer" program. Set up an appointment for one of their realtors to come out, check out my home, and talk about the program.

Hours later they called back to reschedule. Fine I guess, but the scheduler set up the appointment with a realtor that was already out of town that day. So that was odd.

Then 30 minutes before our new appointment, the realtor emails me to cancel. Emails???? She has my phone number. She could have texted me. But nope, emailed. So I sat there waiting for her for like 40 minutes wondering where she was, because I don't check my emails every 5 minutes.

So I wrote the scheduler an email the next morning to tell them I would still be open to meeting a realtor, but I don't want to deal with this realtor.

I have been ghosted. Haven't heard from them in 2 days.

I guess I don't qualify for the guaranteed offer.

In my one encounter, they did not come off as very sharp. I called to get a walk through one of the properties they have listed. One of their agents, Anna, texted me and said there was no 'showing time for this evening'. I expressed surprise as the house was cleared of all furniture and personal items. A few texts go back and forth and she admits it is her schedule, not the house's ,that is full this evening. She said she would find an agent that was available to walk me through the house. Then told me an offer was already placed on the house. Ummm: should that not have been the first thing she looked for concerning the property and not waited until 7 texts went back and forth to find this out?

I haven't lived in MN for 6 years and out of the blue I get a text spam at 9pm "Hi it's Jacob with the Kris Lindahl Team. You started the process of looking for a new home a while back and I would LOVE to help make that a reality in 2020. What is a good time for me to call and spend 10 minutes discussing your home search with you?"

I guess they save all your personal information forever...

Stay away from this company. They were on the listing end of a property
that we made an offer on. We decided to back out of the deal in plenty of time to receive my Ernest money back. They resold the property asap
and the property has even gone PENDING and we still have not received a check. When our agent calls it's nothing but lies that the check was sent out on Thursday, then it's on Tuesday. When I've called to speak to the broker and left my number, no returned call. They really should be reported to the Commerce Department as the Minnesota Board of Realtors is another joke.

Scammers. My 1st impression is that they make their money off people who wouldn't know any better. I'll give them credit though.. they must train their people continuously for everyone all to get on that same cheisty page. Literally every listing they have on their site is pending or contingent.. All you have to do is cross reference the address. No need to give them all your info. so they can just turn around and try to close you as a client. If you have a realtor already.. well, stand in line because you are now not a priority. If you are listing with them, be ware. They may be playing puppet to thier advantage. Just saying.

The Kris Lindahl team has been fantastic the entire time we've worked with them. Kris himself is one of the most generous people I know, he gives back to the community and his staff and it shows!

I did not have a good experience. They do not put the client first. My agent was unresponsive, did nothing to help me find a new home, but was very quick to sell my house and take the commission which was highway robbery in my opinion. Keep looking.
