TESTIMONIALS

"Blake was excellent to work with..."

Blake was excellent to work with during the process of selling our prior home and buying the current one. He was on top of any issues that came up and always prepared when we had a meeting/showing etc. I wouldn't hesitate to use Blake again or refer him to friends or family that could benefit from his service.

"We had a great experience working with Blake on a recent home purchase."

We had a great experience working with Blake on a recent home purchase. He was always available and responsive to our questions. Blake went above and beyond to help us obtain quotes and contacts from contractors within his network. He has a great deal of knowledge in the reals estate industry which helped guide us through the process. I would recommend Blake to anyone and will be using him in the future.

"We have had the pleasure of working with Blake to purchase and sell our home."

We have had the pleasure of working with Blake to purchase and sell our home. Over the years, No words can express his creativity, drive and compassion he has for his work. He has given my family a very personable experience. Communicating every single step during the process. He is our first and only recommendation. My family is so grateful to have worked with Blake over the last 3 years, we cant express enough our gratitude. He has a wonderful gift to share with the world of real estate. Truly talented.

"Blake was such a wonderful partner in our first home buying experience."

Blake was such a wonderful partner in our first home buying experience. He gave amazing advice through this super tough market (Summer 2021). He helped us get the absolutely perfect home for us and was such a joy to work with. We will definitely be repeat clients when that time comes. He is punctual, professional, personable and best of all HONEST. I’ve worked with realtors in the past that would say “I’d hate for you to miss out on your dream home” — that phrase just screams “selfish and in it for the commission” to me. He never once came close to saying anything like that. He was patient and understanding of our needs and lead us down the exact right path. I would highly recommend working with him to purchase (or sell) your next home.

"My choice in selecting Blake certainly was rewarded, he exceeded my expectations."

Buying a home as a first time home owner always makes you think about the horror stories out there and creates the perception of it being an extremely tedious task. That maybe the case if you don't have the right real estate agent, with Blake that is not the case. I was introduced to Blake through a family member because he had done a very good job. My choice in selecting Blake certainly was rewarded, he exceeded my expectations. Blake made things look so easy from the very start. He took me through each process and had my back. He always made time for me and was always able to accommodate my schedule on the showings, be it late evenings or weekends. Blake also helped me get in touch with contacts for financing and inspections. They too were excellent in what they did and worked wonderfully as a team. If you go with Blake he will be there for you through out – from the point you engage him to the point you do the closing and even after that. He did such a good job that I would recommend him to anyone anytime. Thank you Blake for all you did, I wish you nothing but success!

"Working with Blake was a top notch experience."

Working with Blake was a top notch experience. Blake was extremely responsive, professional and paid attention to the details. He was also a calming presence when things didn't go perfectly smoothly and gave excellent advice. I am so glad that we were able to work with him to sell our home and buy a new home.

"Blake was a referral from a friend and I wasn't sure what to expect."

Blake was a referral from a friend and I wasn't sure what to expect. Boy was I blown away! He was such a pleasure to work with. I appreciated his flexibility, honestly and just genuine kindness. The buying process was bittersweet, although we are so happy we found our perfect home, I'll definitely miss working with Blake. I recommend him to anyone that is on the hunt to buy a new home! You will not regret it.

"Blake is a true professional, works hard, and treats everyone with the utmost respect."

As a first time home buyer, we had never worked with a realtor before. We met with several realtors, trying to find one that we could trust & we know would work hard for us to find our dream home. When we met Blake, it was obvious he was a cut above the rest. Blake is a true professional, works hard, and treats everyone with the utmost respect. Blake provided us with sound advice at every property we visited. When we finally found our dream home after 3 months of looking, we found ourselves in a situation where multiple offers were being put on the house. Blake was able to negotiate on our behalf and in the end, Blake got us the house!

There is no doubt we will use Blake again in our next home purchase, and we will recommend him to all of our friends.

"There's no one better than Blake."

There's no one better than Blake. He was our real estate agent when we bought our home four years ago, and he was exceptional. We had all sorts of questions as first-time home buyers, and he was able to expertly guide us through them all.

One of the many great things about Blake is that he never makes you feel pressured. He was honest about everything he saw in a prospective home, and he never tried to push you in an uncomfortable direction. It really felt like he was on your team. He truly wants you to find the best house for you.

A few weeks ago, he reached out to us out of the blue asking if we were interested in refinancing given the current low interest rates. That was something my wife and I had been talking about, but we weren't quite sure how to get started. Getting his surprise text message that day was fantastic, and it was just another example of how he's really looking out for you. He connected us with right people to move a refinancing forward, and we just closed on that process today. In doing so, we knocked our monthly payment down a bit and dropped six years off the mortgage.

Blake was here for us when we bought our home and when we refinanced, and I know he'll be our agent should we ever want to move again. Buying a home is a challenging process. Do yourself a favor and make it a lot easier by working with Blake.

"We will only be using Blake Halverson for selling or buying any future homes."

We will only be using Blake Halverson for selling or buying any future homes. He has provided years of service to myself and my family. I recommended him to my best friend, and they are already working together. He has proven to be trustworthy, highly experienced and an outstanding professional. He has provided appropriate guidance and direction based on my home buying needs. He also stays abreast of current market trends, which to me, was so important in the process. I could go on and on about everything he's done to make exceptional transactions, but instead I will let you read the reviews below yourself. A++ Thank you Blake!

"From the moment we met with Blake..."

From the moment we met with Blake about selling our home to closing on our new home, Blake was nothing but exceptional. He immediately understood us and our wants and needs. It no longer was my husband and I buying a home but rather the three of us becoming a team throughout the entire process. He stood by us and up for us the whole time with professionalism and respect for everyone involved. We don’t regret using Blake at all and definitely recommend him.

"...Blake was an excellent communicator and explained and guided my wife and I each step..."

We worked with Blake when we were buying our new home, and later selling it. Working through both of these processes, Blake was an excellent communicator and explained and guided my wife and I through each step along the way. He was able to negotiate a fantastic deal both on the buying side and the selling side, and we were thrilled to have him representing us. If I buy again in the future I wouldn't look for anyone other than Blake to be our realtor, and I would highly recommend him to anyone else out there who wants a professional, savvy, and amazing realtor at their side.

"If we ever move again I would not consider working with anyone else."

While, the home buying process is a bit harrowing, we would not have been able to do it without Blake. I called Blake from over 1,000 miles away and told him that we needed to be in a dream home in only a couple of months... and he made it happen!

Blake knows the process well and is extremely approachable and friendly. If we ever move again I would not consider working with anyone else. I only gave him 5 stars because there isn't an option for 6!

"My husband and I would highly recommend Blake and will definitely call upon him..."

Blake was our realtor when moved to Minnesota from California. We were impressed by his professionalism, stellar customer service, and his quick responses to our questions throughout the process. We've been in our home for three years and we absolutely love it. Blake has been so gracious to answer any real estate questions we've had through the years and we feel like he's always got our best interests in his responses. My husband and I would highly recommend Blake and will definitely call upon him when it comes time to make our next real estate move. Thanks, Blake!

"I would recommend Blake to anyone and I have already passed on his name to my parents..."

This is the 2nd time I have used Blake as my realtor. I first met Blake when I was looking at a property that he was the listing agent. Since I was not represented at the time, I chose to hire him as my agent. He helped me my find my first home. I was so impressed with his services that when I decided to move into the country, I contacted Blake to help me through the process a second time. On the second round, I had him represent me for the sale of my property and the purchase of my new property.

I told Blake what I was looking for and he set up showings for me in the area I was looking in. I fell in love with the first house I saw and I just closed on 5/1/18. Blake is a wealth of information and has some great contacts as well. He gave me the name of an appliance store in Mpls and I was able to buy a brand new dishwasher and he also gave me the name of an installer who installed my new dishwasher. He gave me some great staging advice and my house sold quickly.

He kept me informed during the entire process and was always there if I had any questions. The one nice thing about Blake is that he was always accessible by phone, email or text. Buying & selling can be a real stressful time and he was always there for me when I was feeling stressed. Overall, the process was flawless.

I would recommend Blake to anyone and I have already passed on his name to my parents and to my daughter.

"We highly recommend Blake, and couldn't be happier with our Hopkins house!"

Blake was nothing short of an amazing realtor for us first-time home buyers! It was so very evident in the way he approached working with us that he is truly passionate about what he does, and doing whatever he can to help his clients find their Minnesota home.

The amount of questions we had for him leading up to open houses, during the open houses, after the open houses, at random points in the night with no open houses, was borderline overboard on our part. But, we ultimately felt so comfortable with him that we highly valued his opinion at every point of the process. He helped us navigate tricky waters during negotiations and renovation discussions, and respected our timeline without any pressure whatsoever. What could have been a stressful experience in this seller's market was instead quite enjoyable and fun!

We highly recommend Blake, and couldn't be happier with our Hopkins house!

"We will definitely be using Blake in the future for any of our Real Estate needs..."

Blake was great with us being first-time-home buyers. We really appreciated all the answers to our questions and especially the responsiveness. We will definitely be using Blake in the future for any of our Real Estate needs and could not give a higher recommendation!

"Blake was the perfect realtor for our real estate needs."

Blake was the perfect realtor for our real estate needs. He understood and was patient with our timelines and never pushed to get us to sell or purchase before we were ready. He was patient and always happy to show us all the homes we wanted to look at which was refreshing since the home search process took almost a full year. Once we found our dream home, he was the BEST negotiator and got us the house for the price we both thought was fair. He even was able to throw into the purchase a few extra perks (pool table, etc). He jumped quickly into action once we purchased our home with getting things ready to sell our current home. He sold our home before it even went to market which was so incredible because with 2 young kids its so hard to keep a clean house for showings. He also made it possible to have the closings of the 2 properties within 15 days of one another which was so appreciated! We are grateful for our experience with Blake and feel lucky to have found such a great realtor.

"Truly a Professional."

Truly a Professional. As a Home inspector in the twin cities I have worked with Blake multiple times. He absolutely cares about his clients needs.
Blake will attend the inspection and be sure his clients understand the findings. I would recommend Blake any day.

"We purchased a custom built home with Blake's help and we were so very grateful..."

We purchased a custom built home with Blake's help and we were so very grateful for all of the help he provided throughout the process! He is always available, extremely responsive and is happy to go to bat for you to make sure you get what you want in your home.

"Hands down Blake has been thee most professional and responsive realtor I have worked with..."

I am in the insurance world and have worked with dozens of realtors. Hands down Blake has been thee most professional and responsive realtor I have worked with and has taken great care of my clients! Highly recommend him if you're looking for a new home!

"Blake helped us through the process of selling our home and purchasing a new one."

Blake helped us through the process of selling our home and purchasing a new one. Of course, it was a pretty stressful experience, especially considering it was our first home sale, but Blake explained everything to us, and never showed any signs of annoyance or frustration when we would ask all the questions that we had. It was evident that he understood that even though he had been through the process many times, WE had not, and he was very patient and thorough with answering our questions. He was also very easy to get a hold of and seemingly worked at all hours of the day, as he was almost always responding to emails/texts shortly after we sent them. Again, it was our first home sale, but from what we could tell, he did a very good job securing a nice sale price for us, as well as negotiating the eventual purchase price of our new home.

Last thing, he was always forthright about his opinion on matters, but made it very clear that in the end, it was our decision as to how to move forward when it came to deciding to offer on a house, what offer to accept, price negotiation, etc.

"We have had several business interactions together and they have all been a success."

Blake is highly professional and appreciates repeat business. We have had several business interactions together and they have all been a success. Strongly recommend him as a realtor, very knowledgeable of the industry and the Twin Cities market.

"...if you can hire this consummate real estate professional, do."

I have worked closely with several realtors over the years, but when the time came to purchase my own home I thought to hire none other than Blake Halverson. Blake is the realtor you engage when you wish to rest assured that nothing will go wrong with the transaction. Fast to respond to calls and emails, prepared to understand precisely the home you are looking for, thoroughly knowledgeable about the market and its trends, and above all honest – if you can hire this consummate real estate professional, do.

"Choose Blake for your home buying needs. I can't think of a better person in the business."

We just closed on our second house using Blake for a second time. Using him again I think says it all. He is friendly, responsive to questions, will advocate for all your needs and concerns, and gets things done quickly.

We have not had a bad home buying experience yet and it’s because of Blake and his team.

Choose Blake for your home buying needs. I can’t think of a better person in the business. He is first class all the way.

Thank you Blake and team !

"Blake is an absolute pro."

Blake is an absolute pro. As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I had what felt like a zillion questions for him, and he had an answer for all of them (or tracked down an answer like bloodhound after a fox!). We felt very comfortable asking even the "stupid" questions and we knew we were finally in good hands with him. In this crazy seller's market, Blake helped us find an amazing home in the neighborhood we had only dreamed of and in our price range (plus he's an incredible negotiator!). We are so grateful! Thanks again, Blake!
