Stop Paying For Your Agent’s Billboard.

Ever wonder who pays for all those statewide billboards and radio ads?
Spoiler: It’s the equity you worked years to build.

The “Guaranteed Cash Offer” Myth

Don’t fall for the “Arms Wide Open” marketing. Most “Guaranteed Offers” are a high-priced convenience tax disguised as a service.

The Equity Strip: These offers typically cut your take-home pay by 15-20% compared to a market sale.

The Ad Budget: You are effectively subsidizing their statewide radio and billboard costs.

The Convenience Tax: Is selling in 48 hours worth losing $40,000 in personal wealth?

Real Experts vs. Marketing Machines

I don’t need my face on every bus stop in Minnesota. I’m busy actually working in the communities I serve.

The “Marketing” Model

Billions of radio impressions paid by your commission.
High-volume turnover leads to “factory line” service.
“Guaranteed” offers that prioritize speed over your net profit.
Statewide reach but often missing local municipal nuances.

The Local Stewardship Model

1% Listing Fee: Direct equity back to the homeowner.
The MN Real Estate Team: Host of a weekly radio talk show providing actual market intelligence.
Technical Vertical: We don’t just sell houses; we maintain local infrastructure (Adopt-a-Drain).
Community ROI: Your sale supports local Burger Wars and FMSC.

We Invest in Minnesota.
Not Billboards.
