"When we first met with Danny Dietl, my wife and I were first-time home buyers who had just moved back into the local area.

"I found Danny through online reviews like this one and I have to say that I am more than pleased that I chose him and his team to represent me and help me sell my house. I had accepted a new job across the country and really was looking to get my house sold as soon as possible, but also for the right price. This was my first experience selling a house and Danny was very helpful and knowledgeable about the industry, area, and current market. He answered all of the questions I had very quickly and provided great recommendations when needed. There weren't much for comps in the area around me, but he did a good job of picking a good price range that I was happy with and was also competitive. The property was not necessarily in the most desirable neighborhood either, but I had done a decent amount of work to the home to stage it and present it as best as possible before bringing Danny on board. Due to that, we were able to move along quite quickly with the process and in the end I received and accepted an offer on my condo very close to asking price, just two days after going on the market. Then about half way through the closing process I made the move across the country and Danny was able to take care of everything and get the property sold without a hitch. Thanks in large part to him I was able to turn a profit on a property I had for only a year and a half. I would definitely recommend him and his team if you are looking for someone to help you sell or buy a home."

"As a first time home buyer I was very nervous going into the home purchase process. I knew that I was going to be very picky and particular with home type and location. I looked at many homes with Danny and not once did I feel like I was a burden looking at homes with him. Danny's knowledge of the housing market, metro location, and his availability to answer any questions helped me get through any insecurities I had as a buyer. He is exactly what you would want in your real estate agent whether you are a first time home buyer, you are buying a second home, or you are looking at purchasing a rental property."

"I highly recommend Danny Dietl. I never thought I would own the executive home that I do now and Danny was key to making that happen. He is very responsive, followed through on all requests, and I was amazed at how quickly he could put together an offer letter (sometimes within an hour) which in this market is critical to getting the house you want. Danny conformed to my needs and talked me though options to help me make the best decision for me and my family. He took complex real estate language and explained them in a way that I could understand. Most importantly, he listened, never rushed me, and what I respect most is his goal was never the sale, it was genuinely wanting to see me happy."

BEN GREILANGER

REALTOR®

Buying or selling a home can be complicated. Fixing and renovating a home can also be complicated. Luckily, Ben Greilanger has experience in both worlds. Ben also has experience in both of the Twin Cities. He grew up in South Minneapolis and bought his first home in Saint Paul after graduating college. His experience living in both cities has given him a deeper appreciation of both cities' unique qualities, challenges and cultures. He loves to share these experiences with clients and learn about their connection to their city.

As a professional realtor, who also owns his own handyman business, he loves to help both buyers and sellers navigate the complicated process of a real estate transaction. He prides himself on helping buyers and sellers understand their homes better to avoid major house construction issues and inspection problems.

With a Masters Degree in Community Psychology, Ben believes in the power of community and that being creative and working as a team is an important asset when working on real estate deals. Ben is excited to work with you to find creative solutions to your real estate needs. 

Testimonials

"Ben is very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. During the process of looking for a house, Ben’s handyman expertise proved very useful, as he was able to not only point out potential issues, but also to assist in fixing them. Ben is extremely confident and trustworthy, and I will continue to recommend his services to anyone I know!"

Erik B. - Richfield

"Ben helped me buy my first house! We looked for several weeks. Things on the market were going fast. I felt the pressure. He showed me many options and stayed in my price range and knew location was important to me. When we toured homes I was most impressed with The Handyman Agent being present. Ben wasn’t afraid to explore. He would give me helpful advice about what would need fixing and replacing within the coming years. He knew I wanted a fixer upper but didn’t want a nightmare! He suggested projects on how I could update the houses. Soon enough we found THE ONE! Every time I walk into my house I feel so much joy that I can call this my home. Thank you Ben!"

Annie B. - Shakopee

"Ben was extremely helpful in our home search! We were admittedly very picky, but he never gave up on us. Over a period of several months, Ben would set up showings for us that worked with our schedule, come up with potential alternative options that weren't on the market yet, give us great advice for home repairs and inspection outcomes, and guide us through the entire home buying process. We especially appreciated how personal and accommodating he was, as we have a baby who we had to take along with us to the many showings and work around nap schedules! We also really appreciated Ben's knowledge and interest in the East Side of St. Paul. We would strongly recommend working with Ben for your real estate needs!"

Deanna and Nathanial Y. - Saint Paul

"Ben was extremely knowledgeable about real estate here in Saint Paul. With his guidance we found the perfect place. He advised us on how to best ready our former house to sell, it sold in record time and above the price we asked. He was able to advise us on what repairs to make before we moved in to the new place, and even did some painting for us. I can't recommend Ben highly enough! If we ever move again I would use his services in a heartbeat. Thanks so much Ben."

Christopher and Rachel L. - Saint Paul

"He was a great help. He not only helped with the process of searching, evaluating and buying, but had great insight into what ownership, maintenance and updating or remodeling would look like for a particular house. This was helpful for understanding what I'd be getting into with a house. Very  satisfied with the house I bought and the experience as a whole. Thanks Ben!"

BOBBY KROOG

REALTOR®

Past clients have described Robert ‘Bobby’ Kroog as a compassionate, sincere, and steadfast person. He knows the process of buying or selling a home can be a confluence of excitement, stress, terror, joy, and everything in between. Since receiving his Real Estate Licensure in the winter of 2013, Bobby has learned that some of the most important things you can do to fully serve a client is show up prepared and ready to listen. Bobby is more motivated to find you your perfect home as opposed to quickly closing a deal. He’s invested in not only helping clients find exactly what it is they need, but guiding them through the entire process with professionalism and grace. Whatever your stage in life, whether you’re a first-time buyer or scaling down and looking towards retirement, Bobby is able to pinpoint exactly what it is you’re looking for in a home and talk through all of your options. Bobby prides himself on his ability to connect with clients in this way. His secret? “I listen more than I talk.” Currently residing in Richfield, Bobby loves the flexibility that comes with doing business in his backyard, so to speak, and being able to set his own schedule. Bobby describes himself as an extroverted introvert who likes to stay busy - a people-person who also enjoys spending time alone. You can usually find Bobby playing soccer, going for a run, or exploring the Twin Cities metro with his wife and friends.

An avid athlete and past coach, Bobby’s retained that calm, level-headed composure one needs in the heat of the game and in the thick of closing a deal. The only time he loses that composure? When he gets to call a client and say, “Congratulations on your new home!”

Collaborating with BRIX Real Estate has been a game changer for Bobby. At BRIX, they’re not only a team - they’re family. The core value for everyone at BRIX is that clients come first, no matter what. That shared value and the respect BRIX agents have for one another means that when you work with BRIX, you’re working with a well-rounded, passionate agent who cares about creating and maintaining a strong relationship with you.

If you’re looking for a real estate agent with years of experience, one who will show up prepared, put you first, ask questions, listen, and guide you with care through the experience of buying a house and beyond, you need look no further.

DAVID THEOBALD

REALTOR®

I was young and uneducated, and the agent was happy to wisk me blindly along to my first home purchase. She allowed me to overpay for a house in an inflated market in 2002.  I was just a number to pad her stats for the month, I was her ATM, and I never heard from her again.  I am still paying for that financial loss, and the frustration of that mistake is a huge reason I am passionate about helping others avoid the same mistakes.family’s home near Lake Pepin. This “dual citizenship” has given her knowledge and experience of both small town and urban living.

Real estate experiences can be better than that!  Clients are too important to be pushed through like robots.

I love homes and have been deep into them since high school. I have built them from the ground up and remodeled 140 year old homes.  My wife and I are privileged to be landlords of several properties in East St. Paul. We are in the business of helping people transition well.

When I'm not selling homes, I am often home with my wife and three kids trying to dream up some sort of adventure with them. We enjoy a good road trip in our old RV, simple living, and a close community of friends. I love dogs, but don't own one.

If you know me for any extended period you will get to learn your fill about the "hero's journey" and how stories matter.

Often time real estate experiences make for great stories.  And often its the invisible part of real estate that matters most - your dreams, goals, changes, conflict, struggles, victories!

Your real estate story is important, and I'd be honored to be a part of yours!

"I was going through a major life change last year and had decided to sell my house as I started the next chapter in my life, I knew David Theobald came highly recommended and had worked with people I knew and trusted. Working with David was the best experience. David is compassionate, patient, hard-working, trust worthy, intelligent, handy, and honest. I am a single mother who needed to work with someone who has integrity and patience. David Theobald has these qualities in abundance. David always gave honest answers and went above and beyond numerous times. For example, on more than one occasion David took the time to come to my house and fix something for me. I can’t imagine working with anyone else when it comes to selling or buying a home. He is the best out there!"

Esther - Maple Grove, MN

"A week after we closed on our house we found a very comparable one listed for $50,000 more than ours. It took us 52 houses to find ours, but we love it enough that if we ever move, we are taking our house with us! Thanks, David."

Nolan & Emily - Minneapolis, MN

"Thank you to the world's best realtor, David Theobald, for all of the amazing things he did for us in selling our house and helping us find our new home... He came over and helped with a list of random handyman projects around the house after helping us determine what we would need to do to sell it. He got a trailer to haul away a bunch of last minute stuff on closing day, responded quickly to every crazy email/text I sent during the process of selling our house and buying a new one, and at the closing of the sale of our house, he gave us a photo book he made of our old house. Get in touch with him if you are ever in need of a realtor...we won't be able to use him again, because he helped us find a perfect home!!!  Thanks again, David!!"

"I began working with David Thoebald to find a new home for my family, and then in the middle of that process, got married, which changed our needs for the next family home. Through out the entire process, David listened carefully to both me and my husband. His skill and understanding of our combined wants helped us to both find a home that met all of our needs. His advice and input in negotiating purchase agreements (and very many addendums in our case!) were greatly appreciated. Buying a home can be a challenging process. David's calm professionalism and knowledge of the area were invaluable in helping us to stay focused on our search and successfully find a home that will work beautifully for our family.

Brian (First Time Home Buyer) - Woodbury, MN

"A HUGE shout out of thanks to our realtor. If you are in the market for a realtor he is your guy! He loves connecting and serving people. Here's some amazing ways he helped us:
1. He came over 2 different days to help us work on the house to get it ready to sell. 
2. He gifted us photos to remember our old house where our 4 kids were born (How thoughtful is that!)
3. He taught our 3 year old to hammer nails into the ground. 
4. He was an advocate for use when we didn't want to push for more negotiation.

"When we were looking for a real estate agent, we wanted someone who was knowledgeable and resilient. We wanted our agent to be great at multi-tasking, have lots of resources, and work fast yet efficient. After speaking to a few other agents, we decided on Joe and Becca. Joe and Becca went above and beyond our expectations. Our property was a family owned house. The house was the home of our late parents who had lived there for over 30 years. The emotional aspect just added to the stress. A very difficult project for any agent. Joe and Becca were extraordinary and true professionals. Their valuable experience, patience, and insight was key in working out the details. They stayed focused, and through many obstacles, were able to handle the transaction promptly and with finesse! I really liked the “teamwork” concept that Joe and Becca have clearly perfected. When one was unavailable, the other was on call. I think ALL realtors should team up, because it absolutely is a better real estate experience. Joe and Becca informed us of the progress every step of the way and kept all of us informed on a regular basis. They are tenacious, reliable, and they got the job done in a timely manner! Joe and Becca are outstanding agents, and I would recommend them to anyone I know, which includes family and friends."

"Joe help me purchase my first home, and as a first time home buyer he was very helpful and knowledgeable for someone who does not know much about the home buying process. He did well at informing me of what I needed to do as well as other little nuances of the home buying process throughout each of the steps. One of the best aspects about working with Joe was the willingness to help find the right home regardless of how many we had to look at. He encouraged us to look at a ton of different houses in order to make certain you find the right one and do not settle for something subpar. Furthermore, he was extremely flexible which was incredibly helpful in the process. There were numerous weekends in which Joe would dedicate nearly an entire day to take us through homes which is a lot to ask for on a weekend for multiple weekends and ultimately I feel it helped us find what we were looking for much sooner than anticipated. In addition to many other things, Joe was very responsive. If I have had a question or problem, I would text or email Joe and would have a response within 10 minutes tops regardless of the day or time, so it was always reassuring knowing you could reach out to him and get a response promptly. All in all, I would recommend Joe to anyone I know."

She is so sweet, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to make this Big Life Decision with her at our side!"

"Libby was on point throughout my home buying experience. What stood out to me was how attentive she was in such a fast paced market. She found a house that met my criteria perfectly and because of her work ethic my offer to buy was accepted by the seller. in a market when inventory is low and  demand is high, it's remarkable that I got it. Thank you Libby, heck of a job."

She was able to help us see exactly the good and bad about the properties we were looking at.  She was able to bring all the right people in to make our home purchase as smooth as we could ever imagine. If you want a pro Libby is the one to call."

"As a first-time home buyer, I was nervous about getting into the home buying process. I am so lucky that I had Johanna as my realtor. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and flexible when I changed my mind. She made looking at homes fun and when I found my home, she was encouraging and supportive when I made my offer, but never pressured me. She went into the process with me wanting to find a home that I loved and didn’t rest until she did. Her personalized service and constant communication made me feel special and like I was her only client (even though I know I wasn’t!). When the closing process didn’t go exactly as planned, she remained firm with the seller and fought for me throughout. I don’t know what I would have done without her! I highly recommend Johanna to anyone who is looking for a realtor as she genuinely cares about assisting in the home buying process and finding a home you love. Johanna is knowledgeable and helpful, makes sure that the process it is as easy for you as possible, and is one of those rare honest people who excel in their field that we all wish to encounter in life. I am honored to call her a friend and will refer her to my loved ones for as long as she is a realtor."

"Johanna is phenomenal to work with. The entire home buying process is very stressful and confusing, especially being first time home buyers. Due to medical reasons, it was three years after meeting Johanna that we finally purchased our home. Johanna was patient with us during this time and never made us feel pressured to move forward. Johanna was always available to answer our questions and ease anxiety about the process. When we were ready to house search, Johanna helped us get in to see homes quickly, as the houses were going fast! Thanks to her, we got a fabulous house for a great deal! There were at least 10 offers put on the house, and we did NOT have the highest offer. We were told that our loan type and letter to the owners were reasons the sellers wanted to work with us. At the closing, the sellers’ realtor commended Johanna’s work, and we found out that Johanna’s well-written offer greatly influenced their choice to work with us. We were very fortunate to have met Johanna and have now been in our home for 3 years and look forward to many years to come. If we are ever in the market for a new home I hope that Johanna will still be a realtor; I cannot imagine working with anyone else!"

Selling our house in return, was not without difficulty. We had buyers who were undecisive and un-financially secure. She had to sell our home 4 times in 3 months, but she did it like it was her first time every time. She gave %100 of her efforts.

Testimonials

"WOW!! Wow is all I can say about this lady!! Libby is an expert beyond words. We had an amazing experience with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is need of a phenomenal realtor. She was able to help us see exactly the good and bad about the properties we were looking at.  She was able to bring all the right people in to make our home purchase as smooth as we could ever imagine. If you want a pro Libby is the one to call."

Kelli and Michael S

"Libby is an extremely attentive and helpful realtor. She was always ready to help and answer questions any time of the day. I was living in another state when I listed my house and Libby took care of the whole process - I did not have to worry about anything. She kept me updated and everything  went really smoothly. Most importantly, she sold my house almost immediately!"

JooYoun J

"Libby made the whole home buying experience fun, even the not fun parts. Her professionalism, knowledge, and humor though the process was great, and her negotiation skills got a new furnace for my new house!"

Chris C

"Libby was on point throughout my home buying experience. What stood out to me was how attentive she was in such a fast paced market. She found a house that met my criteria perfectly and because of her work ethic my offer to buy was accepted by the seller. in a market when inventory is low and  demand is high, it's remarkable that I got it. Thank you Libby, heck of a job."

Matt Kriha

"Libby did a great job marketing our house in St. Louis Park with professional pictures, colored brochures, and several open houses. She also helped us find the right house by being patient and showing us many houses along the way. We never felt rushed or pressured to pick a house but rather encouraged that the right one was out there. After much searching we found the right one in Cottage Grove. She also works with a great inspector who leaves nothing unturned in the inspection process. We would highly recommend listing your house or beginning your house search with her. You won't be disappointed."

Sara Bradfield

"Libby was such a great asset in our search for our home. She made us feel relaxed (even as our three year old was doing his best to "help" at every home) and made what could have been a stressful process seem like just running an errand with a good friend. Her availability to help us look at  houses at a moment's notice helped us grab a home that we would have otherwise probably missed out on. She is so sweet, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to make this Big Life Decision with her at our side!"

Laura Rinas

"Libby was a wonderful Realtor, very professional and knowledgeable. She made looking for a house a lot of fun. She was very flexible with my busy schedule. She helped find me the perfect house! I would recommend her to my friends and family."

Lynn S

"Honest, straightforward, willing to pitch in and help in house prep,great local contacts,able to get best deal possible, highly recommended by us, would contact her again if selling in the future. everything went smoothly as could be expected from listing to closing would definitely give her 5 star  rating."

Greg C

"Libby was very professional! She assisted us in so many ways, and her knowledge was invaluable! The staging company she recommended, Grey Duck Staging, really set the right mood for the home! The pictures she had done were out of this world and got people through the door. In just 36 hours we had over  40 showings and 5 solid offers, all at or above our asking price! We would definitely recommend Libby to friends and family or anyone in need of a knowledgeable, very personable agent for whatever their home buying or selling needs are!"

Luci Shipton

"Libby was amazing to work with! From the initial meeting to closing day, everything in between and even after closing. She's hard-working, informative and works hard for her clients! I would recommend Libby to anyone looking for a realtor. Especially as a first time home-buyer, Libby has a great team and referrals on lenders, closing team and an amazing inspector! If I could give Libby 10 stars I would!"

I have a history of service. Born and raised in Minnesota, I joined the U.S. Army, and served a tour in Afghanistan. After returning home I looked for further opportunities to serve people in the Twin Cities. I enjoy building relationships, and there's no better way to serve than by helping people on their real estate journeys. Buying or selling a house is often the largest financial and emotional investment in a person's life, and I love helping people reach their goals. My focus isn't only on the ‘bricks and sticks;' it's also about making certain that my client's decisions put them in a place where they can build for the future. When I'm not impacting people's lives through real estate, I'm drawn to sports and a healthy lifestyle. In addition to my daily workout routine, you'll find me at the lake or watching one of our many Minnesota sports teams.

SCOTT CARLSON

REALTOR®

Some of my earliest memories are spending time with my dad at his various apartment buildings around MN. This might have been where I was inspired to become a landlord myself. I grew up in the Rochester area. Lots of time was spent helping my dad cut the grass, shovel, paint, etc. I was able to see all the hard work, especially when you own one or even a couple of properties. While it was very exciting to own rentals and flip properties; I have since resigned my role as an investor and am now enjoying what I have learned over the years to help others. Before I became licensed, I have held jobs in various other real estate domains such as title and lending. Utilizing my degree in marketing and my background in sales will be a huge asset whether you are buying your first home or your next investment property. It is so amazing to see the smiles at the closing table. Being a professional problem solver is what continues to challenge me and being your advocate and consultant when you need someone is a privilege I don’t take lightly. When I am not helping others, I am probably at home playing with my son, Grant. He loves to swing, watch his ipad, and drink soda. Grant was born with autism and intellectual disability. There have been some very hard days and also some very rewarding ones too. We don’t take anything for granted and frankly his struggles have really put things into perspective. My wife and I have lived in Rockford since 2008. I have also lived in Eden Prairie and Fridley. I am honored to have your business when you need a reliable, experienced, and professional Realtor. Let me know how I can help.
