What people are saying

  • "My husband & I recently bought a new home & we both loved working with April! Although we lived in MN for most of our lives, we have just relocated back to the state from almost 13 years of living in CA. April was so knowegable about the housing market in MN & she new all the ins & outs of this crazy housing market. Although searching for a new home during the months of March-July was stressful, we felt April always had "our backs"! We called or Emailed her all the time with various questions or asking to tour a home we just noticed was for sale. April always took the time to answer our questions & would often revamp her own schedule to make sure we got to see a house we were interested in as soon as possible. We were also so very impressed that while looking at various houses, April would actually pull out her flashlight and go into crawl spaces to look for wetness ,foundation issues, mold etc, & she would point out a problem that might come back to "haunt" us. She consistently went above & beyond to make sure a house we were interested in was in fact a house that would become a real "home" for us & not a money pit!"

    -Randy S, Cottage Grove

  • "My husband and I worked with April and the REROOT team to buy our first home in Saint Paul. We have nothing but good things to say about April, Shae, and the whole team. As first-time home buyers, we didn't have a lot of ideas about where to start. Shae was kind enough to walk us through the home buying process and answer any questions that we had along the way. Shae and her team were thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, asked us great questions, and listened carefully to our wants and needs. Through their expertise and guidance, we were able to purchase our first home within our budget - a miracle in the current market. We couldn't have asked for a better partner through the whole process. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in this market!"

    -Alex S, St Paul

Home Inspection Overview
Home Inspection Overview

Having a professional home inspection is crucial. It helps confirm you’re moving forward with the home you expect. Sometimes an owner has been using the house for decades a certain way but the new buyer may use a house different than the previous owners (e.g. more showers, more electrical outlets used, etc). So just taking the sellers word on what’s working won’t cut it.
