Why Relocation Buyers Choose Us?
Relocating is different from buying down the street.
You can't drive to showings. You don't know the neighborhoods. You don't know which suburbs feed which school districts, or which 30-minute commute is actually 30 minutes and which one is 50. The wrong agent treats you like any other buyer. The right one acts like your boots on the ground.
We've helped hundreds of families relocate to Minnesota — from California to Texas to Arizona and across the country. We're part of the Coldwell Banker Exclusive Relocation Network, which means we work directly with corporate relocation specialists and out-of-state buyers every week.
This isn't a side specialty. It's something we've been doing for 20+ years across our team.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — but it's also one of the most livable states in the country. Minnesotans don't hibernate in the winter. We ski, ice fish, snowshoe, and pack into restaurants and breweries. Most relocation buyers tell us the winters are easier to adjust to than they expected, especially once you have the right gear and know which neighborhoods to live in.
-
Minneapolis offers urban density, walkability, and the lakes inside the city. The north suburbs — Forest Lake, Chisago Lakes, White Bear Lake, Stillwater — offer more land, lower property taxes in some areas, top-rated school districts, and a 25-45 minute commute back to the city.
-
Depending on how much prep you've done before contacting us, the process from "first call" to "keys in hand" can be 30-90 days. Buyers who are working with us before they list their current home tend to have the smoothest moves. We coordinate directly with your selling agent in your current state so the timing works out.
-
Yes. We do virtual showings, neighborhood video tours, and have closed sales for buyers who didn't see their home in person until move-in day. Our process for remote buyers is built around clear communication, honest representation of every property, and using video and photos to show you what the photos on Zillow miss.
