"Kevin was once again phenomenal - we were looking for a house in Minnesota from another state and entrusted Kevin to visit possibilities. Once at the homes, Kevin would call us while walking though - sending pictures, answering questions, and letting us know if he felt the houses or neighborhoods were not for us. He absolutely had our best interests at heart. We ended up getting a house we love in a great neighborhood, under budget, and perfect for the way we live. I canât recommend Kevin highly enough."

He helped us line up everything we needed pre-listing, continually analyzed the current market and our competition, quickly responded to our never-ending questions, and assisted with all the fine points of the final negotiation. From start to finish, I highly recommend Kevin for your realty needs."

"I have bought and sold a handful of houses and worked with numerous realtors over the past few decades. Kevin is by far the most personable, diligent, thorough, on-the-ball, thoughtful agent I have ever encountered. His communication and quick turn-arounds are second-to-none and he will be my go-to-guy for any and all future purchases and sales. If youâre still shopping around for realtors, the search ends here. You will be in good hands with Kevin!"

"Kevin helped us over this past year to move up to our next bigger house AND sell our first home in this crazy market! Though it took us a little while to find what we wanted in a very specific geographical area, Kevin was super patient and a fabulous resource through the entire process. We never felt rushed or pressured into putting in an offer, and he helped us evaluate our options objectively. He also works with fantastic people to make the whole process better - from a stager who gave us advice on how to make our house show well, a tremendous photographer, and the lender we ended up going with. All wonderful top notch people! Would definitely recommend working with Kevin whether you are buying, selling, or both!"

"Kevin helped us find a home we enjoy! Looking at a lot of homes can become overwhelming, they all seem to swim together. Kevin knew what we wanted and helped us find our home. I told Kevin he should be my dentist because he made the house hunting process painless."

"First off Kevin is great person overall. He is patient, understanding and knows his job very well. He is very thorough and is with you every step of the way. I have and will continue to recommend Kevin for any sale or purchase. Thank you Kevin for everything you do! Mark Fields
Kevin goes above and beyond just being a realtor. His attention to details and his dedication to his clients are unmatched. I have sold 2 houses and bought one with him. The time he spent on all of them was absolutely incredible. I will recommend him to everyone I know! Thanks for being so patient and understanding with us! Jennifer Fields

"I was referred to Kevin by one of my very close friends who has worked with him to buy and sell homes in the past. I started working with Kevin to help me find a home at a low cost and that I could fix up. I immediately was contacted by him after reaching out and he was super nice, friendly, and understood exactly what I was going to be looking for. He then set up up right away on the MLS website as well as the Keller Williams website to begin notifying me of homes within my price range and homes that were within my specifications. When I started liking properties, Kevin was great at following up with me and was quick to set up viewings on the properties I was interested in. Kevin went above and beyond with the existing safety precautions due to COVID-19 rules and set very clear expectations for what I would need to view (gloves and mask). He was very knowledgeable and thorough in the walkthroughs and was able to answer and assist me with all of my questions through the process. Once I found the home that I wanted to pursuit, Kevin was on it! I viewed the home at 530pm and had an accepted offer that same evening. Once I moved into the mortgage financing processing process, Kevin was on top of communicating with my mortgage company on items they needed from him and from me. My closing date was scheduled and there were no hiccups in the process which is rare. The day of closing Kevin had everything arraigned with the title company and was there to ensure everything went without a hitch. I closed on the date and time I wanted and am now the proud owner of a cute little house that I love and am super happy with. After the home buying experience, I have stayed in touch with him and have sent him some photos of my renovation projects and will continue to keep in touch with him. He was professional, nice, knowledgeable, on top of things, and just an overall great guy to work with. I would highly recommend him and will refer any of my friends and family as he was a great person to work with. Thanks so much Kevin!!"

"Kevin was amazing to work with, truly a rockstar. He was always available and willing to answer any and all questions we had and never rushed us about anything. Always gave his full attention to us when together and was reliable when setting up meetings or documentation. He was extremely helpful and went above and beyond in many ways. He is such a genuinely nice guy that we felt he really cared about our wants and needs in our first housing purchase, and was patient about finding us the house we really wanted, without feeling pressured to buy just anything. There wasnât anything I would say he couldâve done better, all 5 stars! We will gladly be passing along his information to friends and family who buy in the future! Thanks Kevin!"

"Without Kevin, my wife and I simply would not have a house...period! In an extremely tough market for buyers which almost made us throw in the towel on numerous occasions, Kevin wouldnât let us give up and was able to find the right home for us that fit our specifications in the city we wanted all along! Timing was everything in this market and Kevin understood that and always acted quickly. His advice, hard work, and patience with us made him not only the perfect realtor for us, but makes him the perfect realtor for ALL! Kevin...it is with our deepest appreciation that we thank you for your expertise, advice, attention to detail, and your persistence...we will not forget this!"

"Wow ... there is A LOT to consider when buying and selling a home. We are so thankful to Kevin Conrad for helping us navigate the complex, emotional, and ultimately satisfying process. His experience helped us avoid pitfalls so we could make a confident decision. And his relationships with mortgage experts, inspectors, and others made the process seamless. Kevin was the calm presence when it came to selecting and negotiating our new home, which we love. I thought heâd get tired of our 1,000 questions during the process, but he happily answered every one! We 100 percent recommend Kevin to anyone buying and/or selling a property."

đ When buyers are looking for their next home, there is a lot more to look for than pretty kitchens. Check out my top 5 items to look for as it is my priority to help protect you and your investment! đ
đĄ Yes, it is still a Sellerâs market and yes, we are definitely in a Spring Market. However, check out some stats I ran for new buyers that Iâm working with (call it a âCase-Studyâ analysis). All positive aspects and Iâm super excited for the buying potential they have right now! đ Can sellers sell their home for top dollar, in multiple offers, in the first weekend...Yes! Can sellers put any home on the market, in any condition, at any price, and expect to sell quickly and for asking price...No!
*wonderful to see a healthy balance between the following: 1. A typical spring market (prices increasing/faster/etc. 2. More Active listings available for buyers to view. 3. Not as crazy fast & with significant increases in prices.
Whatâs up with the MN Real Estate Market? Letâs first look back to last year, letâs talk about today, and lastly letâs look ahead to what we may see!
Mortgage Rates dropped 0.5% in the last 2 days! Itâs like saving $115/mo. & 42k over 30 years without doing anything (other than, lol). Time for a happy dance!
A very well put together article by our friend and colleague Julia Israel. The implications in this ruling can indeed be widespread, affecting those who need representation the most. The rulingâs immediate benefit is further transparency to the people we represent, this is good. On the other hand, the long term implications may not be known for years, but Julia eloquently explains how this is hurtful for the public. We all need people that have our backs, itâs a shame when itâs taken away.
Should you buy now when the rates are in the low 7âs or wait until they drop?
Great question and I put together a table to address buying now vs. 1 and 2 years later.
What you need to ask yourself is if you believe home prices will continue to increase. If the answer is yes, buying now will save you a lot of money as long as you refinance when rates lower. Even this year we had an appreciation of 2.5% while interest rates were 1% higher than after May of 2022. What kind of appreciation do you think we are going to see when interest rates drop?
Take a look at the table I put together. Based on some assumptions (where rates will be) and averages, I believe my numbers are conservative. Waiting until rates drop will cost you $, but everyone needs to make that decision for themselves.
đ When would you prefer to buy or sell? 8 years of medians were used in my calcuations with the results stated below. However, no crystal ball here as we canât predict what will happen in 2024. COVID and interest rates as of late are 2 examples that have affected MN seasonality patterns. Check out the stats and reach out if you have any questions!
I am taking this question head-on as there is no way to sugar coat the main reason why homeowners are staying put! I am not a not a financial advisor, a lender, or an economist. My numbers are based on researching averages (average debt of Americans currently, etc.) and realistic home prices/rates/scenarios. Creative financing is absolutely paramount and if someone wants to make it happen, you want an awesome realtor and a fantastic lender in your corner to make it happen for you and your family!
đ %đČNobody has a crystal ball, but we do our best staying current with the Feds position/inflation/rates and what they are âpredictingâ has an effect on the market today. Same story, weâll keep watching as various reports come out and how they respond accordingly. Staying optimistic while the higher interest rates may continue well into 2024, weâll see! đ€
