Stieg is a fantastic realtor! I know many realtors and chose to go with Stieg after finding him on Realtor.com and going through the interview process. He is very attentive to your wants and needs. Stieg's knowledge and expertise helped me find my house in less than 2 months!!! I am very pleased with the process and communication that we had. I will definitely recommend Stieg to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Stieg was an amazing realtor, the very best. Someone from my church recommended him and he responded within fifteen minutes after I texted him. He walked with me every step of the way, answered all the questions I had, and was always readily available. He is a positive person to be around and he gave me so much confidence as I know he has decades of experience and was providing good guidance. He is also very kind and patient and I felt that this wasn't just business for him but that he really wanted me to get a home that met my needs and a home that I would love. And I really do love my home by the lake! I am grateful to God for my home every day. I'm not a detail oriented person and real estate is not my expertise - I'm a nurse who works in the community with women facing really difficult situations. So to have someone you could comfortably ask questions of and who would remind you if you missed a step, meant a lot to me. I would recommend him to anyone seeking to purchase or sell a home and if I ever choose to move Stieg is who I will be going to for help.
Wow.... Luci, you are so kind. You are also a blessing to me. Your faith, your tenacity, and your complete focus on other people first is an inspiration. I do feel like your home is perfect for your needs, and your wants! That makes my heart full and is fuel for one of the reasons I sell real estate. - Grateful, Stieg

I had the opportunity to meet with three different realtors in my search for a home. The first two experiences were disappointing, as they lacked communication skills and made the process even more confusing for me as a first-time homebuyer. However, my experience with Stieg, the third realtor I met through Zillow, was completely different.
Working with Stieg was a breath of fresh air. He was not only trustworthy and knowledgeable but also went above and beyond to ensure I understood every step of the process. He made complicated concepts easy to grasp and was always available to answer any questions I had, even after I had purchased my home.
Stieg's genuine care for my well-being and the success of my home-buying journey was truly remarkable. It was evident that he was not solely motivated by money, but by a genuine desire to help his clients find the perfect home. Thanks to Stieg's guidance and support, I was able to navigate the homebuying process with confidence and ease, impressing my family along the way.
I highly recommend Stieg to anyone, especially first-time homeowners, as his expertise and genuine care make him a standout realtor. It was a privilege to work with him, and I hope others have the opportunity to experience his exceptional service.
Mariana, I just now realized I did not reply to your review! Thank you! I have to say, from the first time I talked to you I knew you were well beyond the typical "Zillow lead"..... WELL BEYOND! I could tell in just a few minutes that you were ready to do this, and had done the tedious and selfless work of steady employment, saving money, and building your credit! I was so excited to work with you, as you are one of the most driven and responsible 20 year old's I have ever met! WOW is a starter, but in short. You truly do encourage me in how and why I do what I do!

Stieg Strand was our buyer's agent 24 years ago when we moved to Minnesota, so it seemed perfect to reach out to him to sell that very same house we called home for so long. His stellar skills include intentional listening, patience and empathy, professional wisdom (he is a leader in knowing the markets and understanding the sellers' and buyers' goals), common sense and diligence. He worked hard to get the job done, and helped us focus our goals and meet them in a tight timeline with a few extra challenges thrown in. We do not hesitate to recommend Stieg for any real estate transaction.

A number of years back I had found Stieg when I was selling a place I owned. He was excellent to work with back then through the sales process of that home for me. When the time came to purchase a new place I remembered what a great job he had done with selling my old place so I found his website and reached out to him to see if I could have him help me find a new place to buy. Just like the first time he did an excellent job working through what my must haves were for my purchase. He helped me find a place that met almost every item on my want list as well as all of my must haves that was still within my budget in a tough market to be buying in. He has continued to do a wonderful job throughout the entire purchase process and I would highly recommend having him help you with your real estate needs.
Brian,
Thank you! I am so grateful to you. I think it is extra fun when my clients remember me enough to know they can rely on me to be worth their time.
My pleasure serving your needs...

We were very happy to work with Stieg a second time after my fiance bought our first home in Minnesota with his help back in 2018. Stieg once again was fantastic to work with as neither of us are Minnesota natives nor have any family in the area. Stieg was like an upbeat, friendly, and candid uncle. We were very open to various areas around the metro and had a "wishlist" that Stieg helped us prioritize and navigate. The housing market was/is to be frank rough and Stieg was invaluable for us to first snag a house that "checked all our boxes" but we feared would be lost to us with so many potential buyers willing to forego inspections or make other concessions we could not. When the market took a slight turn with raising rates, Stieg was persistent and dogged in getting our previous home sold. The markets for buying and selling are difficult to navigate and we are so grateful that we connected with Stieg during this process.
If we ever manage to convince our families to come north we will definitely turn to Stieg again.
Tyler and Alexa, I am happy to be your uncle! I actually think that is accurate, except the fun, youngish looking cool uncle!!! I am grateful for you two for a number of reasons.... One of them being introducing me to one of the best burrito places EVER in TexaTonka - Brito's Burrito's.... So good!

We originally met Stieg when we asked him to do a market analysis about 5 years prior to hiring him to list and sell our home. We wanted a professional opinion about improvements we were considering to ensure we'd get our money back. Stieg was easy to work with and his knowledge of the market is impressive. He's responsive, a strong communicator and used innovative strategies to help us sell quickly.
Donna, Thank you so much. It was truly a pleasure to work with you and Dean. Your hard work thoughtfully and strategically preparing (and maintaining) your home was easily seen and appreciated. Minnesoooocold will miss you & I will too.

My 2022 real estate situation was somewhat unique. My destination realtor in Florida referred Stieg to me after she interviewed several Eden Prairie realtors. Stieg and I discussed the property, transaction, and potential timeline to closing. Stieg guided the entire process from start to finish, while suggesting a few “extras” such as a staging consultant and a professional photographer. Stieg even went the “extra mile” by assisting with moving furniture for the staging consultant (twice!) and helped with vehicle packing on closing day. Throughout the process, Stieg was honest, always accessible to answer questions, and hard working with integrity and a sense of humor.

Mark, I am so thankful that I was able to meet you and serve you. I appreciate your review so much. I do not take it lightly nor for granted. I think it was especially interesting to have lived so very close to each other for many years, and yet to get a recommendation from 1500 miles away.... Shalom on your Florida transition from Minnesoooocold!

In 2013 Stieg helped purchase a Condo. We viewed many condos and townhomes, putting in offers until the 8th was accepted. Stieg never complained about all the driving or offers, and helped me to find the perfect place. In 2018 he sold our condo for a profit and helped us buy our dream townhouse. In the fall of 22 he gave us great advice on updating our property and selling it for a nice profit so that we could move to Florida!
I'm going to miss being able to use Stieg as our realtor. He teaches realty classes, so is super knowledgeable, fun, and friendly. I would use Stieg for all my realty need if he ever moves to Florida. He really is one of the best in the business.
Derek, I am so very thankful for your review. Hearing your story helps me realize how honored I am to help life long friends like you (and friends who I just have not met yet!) through life transitions as they ARE hard work!....I know Minnesooooocold will for sure miss you and Amber... :)

Stieg was the most phenomenal realtor we could have ever hoped for! He is so fun to work with, honest, flexible, and incredibly understanding and patient. The home buying process can be stressful at times but Stieg was always a voice of reason in the kindest way possible! He understood what we were looking for, what was important to us, and helped us make confident decisions as we navigated the process as first time home buyers. After we purchased, I was genuinely sad that we wouldn't be seeing Stieg every other day to look at homes together - haha! He's an incredible person, outstanding realtor, and will become one of your best friends through the process. Thank you, Stieg, for helping us this summer! We truly cannot put into words how grateful we are to you! We are looking forward to working with you again in the future!
Alecia,
Getting to know you and Dirk has been a total "hoot", I think "hoot" is Scandinavian for a ton o' fun! I so look forward to seeing you guys real soon.... You don't realize this yet, but you will NOT be missing me for long! I will be in touch...

I am an “Out of the town” homeowner and I could not have sold my house without Steig.
He was my reliable eyes and ears on the ground and he was transparent with me from start to finish. Stieg helped me to find reliable people to get my house ready to sell for a good price where other agents failed to do this in the past. Stieg's communication and follow through was way beyond what I thought was even possible and he showed the utmost integrity every step of the way. We encountered unforeseen difficult issues and Stieg negotiated on my behalf strongly, pulled his resources, and the right people together to simply get the job done and we ended up closing on time.
Julie, I so appreciate your review. I also know that your sale was unique. I know it was hard for you to not be as physically present as you wanted to be. I also.... greatly appreciated your confidence and your responsiveness when I needed direction!

My fiancé and I decided to sell our townhome and purchase a new home just a few months before our wedding. I began googling trusted realtors in my area and stumbled upon Stieg. I’m sure happy I did because within 2 months, my fiancé and I not only sold our townhome but purchased our new home all before our wedding. I was very pleased with Stieg’s attitude and demeanor. It’s obvious that he just wants what is best for his clients. I would highly recommend Stieg if you want a trusted and knowledgeable realtor.
Tate, Thank you! I have enjoyed getting to know you and Olivia, and so very much appreciate your review. I love what I do, and I am glad it is easy to sense. I also very much appreciate you guys referring your friends to me as well. That "step" is one I know takes a little risk....yet is one of my ultimate goals; to have clients that want to make sure the people they know and love are taken care of....
Shalom!

I have known Stieg as a for a really long time. He has been a trusted Realtor for me as he represented me on two home sales and two purchases over a 21 year span! (My last one was just last week!) Stieg is also my friend, as we went to the same church, and served together in a number of ways. The best part of working with Stieg is he was never pushy, he always had my best interest at heart and I felt like he listened and understood my wants and needs. He even helped me move my stuff up two flights of stairs in one townhome! (He did complain about that a little though.... :) Ohhh. One last thing, I think he is the funniest real estate agent I have ever met! (Funny meaning Ha Ha, not peculiar)

Awwwww. I love it! Cheryl... I so appreciate you & Michael!

We have known Stieg for a super long time. He has been a good friend, a church youth leader, and yes....a trusted Realtor! He helped us buy a home Stieg and was such a great source of help with every step of the process. We were first time homebuyers and had a TON of questions and one of our favorite parts is the horror stories of friends and relatives who had agents who dropped the ball or didn't think about things we needed to know, in advance of when they were important, so we didn't feel that "You should have known/done that!". We felt very comfortable that he truly only wanted us to make sure the process was not overwhelming.
Brad, Working with you and Jess was a treat. I am so thankful for your review. It encourages me to make every client and contact feel just as comfortable!

Stieg made buying a condo easy. He was the friendly face on the buyer's side of the transaction, while representing my interests. He knows what he is doing and makes it look almost as easy as it was for me.
Tom! Thank you so much for your review. It was especially satisfying to see how your years of patience "searching" was rewarded with a exactly where you were supposed to be. I am honored to be your friend and your Realtor!

Tom, Thank you! I have to say your "condo hunt" was one long, but you were not picky... You were patient! I am thankful that you trusted me to help with that process. I truly believe you are right were you were meant to be!

Stieg and his team we’re great to work with. They’re very knowledgeable and professional as well as friendly.
Stieg brings in his own stager and photographer to help sell your home quickly. He was able to sell our home in one day with multiple offers. We got a great price for our home!
My husband and I enjoyed working with Stieg and we will recommend him to our friends and family.
Thank you Tom and Deb, It was a true pleasure to serve you! Eden Prairie will miss you.... :)

Recommend Stieg? — 100%
Over 3 years ago and in our early 70’s we made the decision to sell our home.
We found Stieg’s on facebook and sent him an email asking if he would have time to visit with us. An appointment was made and I expected an hour including the walk-thru of the house but he stayed well over 3 hours. He walked with us through our home and gave us ‘tips’ on what could be done to help the sale. He then sat down with us and answered our many questions. And then our search began for another home and that took us 2 years to find. During those 2 years anytime we had a question he was quick to answer.
Since we had purchased a new build in another city/state and covid hit, we had a revolving closing date. Stieg worked with our buyer to make sure we did not have to move until our closing date was finally set.
Stieg also had Ashley help us with staging and Barry to help update our enclosed porch.
I call that full service !
Thanks Stieg for all your help over the pasts 3 years.

As we prepared our house to sell Stieg
provided some very good advice when he
referred us to Ashley, his designer, and his
painter friend Ryan. It helped move us ahead
very, very quickly. Stieg also presented our
desires to the prospective buyer and
included us in the negotiation. He accepts
your opinions and your desires and doesn't
just "tell you what to do". It was an enjoyable
experience! Oh, and the gain on the home
sale wasn't bad either!!!
Chris, You and Molly are absolutely a hoot and a holler to be friends with, and way above average as real estate clients too! :)
