Born and raised in the area and LOVE Minnesota. I watch people who are transferred to this area unwillingly... and then they won't leave here even if their company insists! :-)
Also scuba diving for lionfish and USPSA competitions.

About Joe

About
Having handled thousands of transactions over 4 decades, I have the KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE to help my clients in a way they can trust. I started my career with a small company called Burnet Gagner Realtors, opened their White Bear Lake Office and later became a Regional Vice President. The company became Burnet Realty which then sold to Merrill Lynch Realty which became Burnet Realty again and finally Coldwell Banker. In 1995 I joined Edina Realty as Managing Broker and brought it to the #1 position in the company. I found I missed serving my friends and family and having the freedom of an entrepreneur and in 2018 joined eXp Realty (the Amazon of real estate) as Realtor.

Joe has been around a long time and is very informative and understanding. He will work hard for you and keep you informed all the way through. Thank you Joe for helping me find cleaners and a handyman and always telling me what was going on with the market and the people interested in my house.
