Testimonials

Tom helped my wife and I purchase our very first home (in Edina, MN). This was an unusual transaction because the house was being sold directly by the owner and we were already residing there as tenants. Mr. Stutsman was an invaluable resource from the moment I first called him all the way to the closing meeting. Tom provided expert yet easy to understand advice regarding location, real state practices, building condition, pricing, appraisal & inspection, etc. He also made himself available to us 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week – we visited several hours in the evening hours and weekends, and we often chatted/emailed outside of regular business hours. I am a very skeptic individual by nature but Tom won me over with his dedication, hard-work, and honesty. If you are looking for an agent who will value you and that will treat your investment like his own, than I suggest you give Tom a call.

We purchased a downtown condo through Tom, and like always, got the best professional service that comes with working with Tom. This was the third time I used Stutsman Realty. Tom's knowledge, expertise and focus on the details is second to none. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your assistance in selling my aunt's home.  It's nice to know there are professional real estate people like you who are available to help clients with long distance real estate challenges.  Your professionalism and dedication were apparent very early in the process and I believe the quick sale of the property was directly related to your commitment and willingness to go beyond the call of duty.  I strongly recommend Stutsman Realty to anyone looking for a satisfying real estate experience.  Thank you again.

I was very lucky to have my good neighbor suggest that I hire you as my realtor for the sale of my house.  I think of you daily with gratitude for your work and help.  People who hear about the sale of the house in just one week after it was put on the market are amazed, especially at the current financial climate, and at a fair price.  Tom, you were helpful to me in so many ways beyond the normal duties of a realtor, and I am forever thankful to you.  I think of you as a good friend and I will not hesitate to recommend you highly to anybody who needs realty help.

As an attorney I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of real estate professionals in the course of representing my clients.  Many of my clients are elderly and have very little contact with the real estate world, and the sale of the homes may be the largest legal transaction of their lives.  It is important for those people to have a real estate professional that understands their needs, and will take the time to make them feel comfortable with this process.

I have observed Tom Stutsman to be that type of real estate professional, in transactions involving people selling their homes of 40 or 50 years and transitioning them into comfortable retirement condominiums or assisted living residences.

While I as an attorney may understand the real estate transaction, Tom Stutsman has the sales and negotiation skills to make the transaction possible...I know that he has hard work ethics and the integrity to handle any real estate challenge.  I recommend Tom Stutsman to handle any of your real estate needs because I know you will be very satisfied.

Tom;

You are a gentleman and you are very professional at your job.  You treated me so well, and went above and beyond what I expected!  Thank you again and again.

We had the privilege of having Tom as our landlord for about seven years. He genuinely cares about his tenants and his properties. If an issue ever came up with anything at our apartment, Tom would have the problem solved in less than 24 hours. We were truly impressed with his communication skills and professionalism. We no longer live in the Twin Cities, but if we were to find ourselves to return one day, we would not hesitate to live in one of Tom's properties or have him be our realtor. Tom is trustworthy and dedicated to serving his clients well.

This is recommend Tom Stutsman, realtor extraordinaire.  As a professional conservator and fiduciary for ten years, I've worked with several realors to sell houses and condos.  The homes I'm usually trying to unload ... take a lot of showings and creative marketing to land a buyer...Tom has a way with people - and places - that makes him a superior realtor.  His commission rate is a true bargain, especially considering his experience and service.  He is a consumate professional.  I highly recommend Tom Stutsman both to buyers and sellers.

Well done!  Without a doubt you have exceeded our expectations on obtaining top dollar for our home.  Your focus, your network of contact with other office managers, agents, and business owners, and your high attention to detail produced spectacular results for our family. You provided the willingness, ability, and energy to meet problems head-on with high attention to detail.  This produced the results we were looking for.  Your knowledge of the real estate market gave us high market visibility, and LOTS of excellent service.  You can count on doing business with us again.

Tom's honesty in dealing with vulnerable elderly is most refreshing. We experienced some attempts to get a sale at below market rates from others, but you were focused on getting a fair price for all concerned. Tom has a special interest in working with the elderly, and he extended himself to accommodate their special needs. He marketed on a personal referral basis without immediate multi-listing which minimized intrusion on my mother, and he successfully found a buyer before multi-listing became necessary. He gave personal service in helping the elderly buyer and seller in meeting their sale and closing obligations. He offered help with temporary housing arrangements, and moving problems, which went far beyond what anyone would expect of a professional Realtor.You are one of a kind, and we wish you the best in your future, and we recommend you without reservation to others - especially those with special needs.

Tom;

To this day I am still so grateful that I was lucky enough to have you as my first landlord!

I have rented numerous apartments in the past and all I have to say is that the level of service, care and professionalism that Tom has provided to me as a tenant is hard to come by. I absolutely loved my apartment and will miss the quality neighbors that lived in the building. He is a great landlord that I could depend on and that cares in the upkeep and well-being of his properties. Thanks Tom for providing such an enjoyable living experience!

Tom's prompt response, integrity, knowledge, and professionalism, were the reasons that I selected Tom to represent me. I am highlighting some of his major attributes.

Tom has responded to all of my apartment service needs in a timely manner. Whenever I have needed him to fix something or help me out in some way he always is prompt and professional. It is very refreshing to have a landlord who really cares about his properties!

Tom's professionalism, sincerity, honesty, and work ethic are virtually unmatched. In addition to the excellent, personal service that you provide, we have also saved a great deal of money based on your 4.7% commission fee. We appreciate knowing that we are gaining more money from our home, while receiving top-notch service.

Not only did Tom succeed in selling our home, but he found the ideal home for us and for the sellers of that home. All in all, he sold three homes, and he made it work to such perfection that all three parties closed on their properties on the same morning.

Tom has helped me with my real estate needs. I bought a condo and sold my home. Tom did an outstanding job, being there for me every step of the way.
