What our clients
are saying

"We can’t thank Swanson Realty enough for helping us find our dream home in Minnesota. It’s exactly what we dreamed it would be – and we didn’t go over our budget! Swanson Realty local market knowledge, expertise, and amazing dedication made the whole buying process truly enjoyable. Thank you so much, Swanson Realty"

Jessica Royce

"We never really believed in so-called real estate experts until we were introduced to Swanson Realty. Like magicians, they made all of our dreams come true. Aside from being professional and experienced, Swanson Realty proved to be very patient, creative, and persistent. They always accommodated our requests and questions. What a great real estate team!"

Bryan Cooper

"We were looking for a cabin in Backus and had no idea where to start. Swanson Realty made the process so easy. They knew all the ins and outs of the local market and found us the perfect lakefront getaway. Their team was patient, professional, and genuinely cared about finding a place that felt right for our family"

Kendra Keller

"Selling our home in Baxter could have been stressful, but with Swanson Realty, it felt effortless. They helped us stage, listed our property with beautiful photos, and we had multiple offers within the first week. Their communication was top-notch, and we always felt supported. We couldn’t be happier with the results!"

🏞️ JUST LANDED THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME 🏡💥 ⁠ My buyers scored this beautiful piece of land for $101,000 UNDER asking — yes, you read that right! 🙌⁠ ⁠ Even better? It was a For Sale By Owner listing — proving that with the right strategy, strong communication, and a bit of hustle, anything is possible.⁠ ⁠ This is more than just dirt and trees — it’s the foundation for dreams, and we just made it happen for way less than expected. 👊 ⁠ 💬 Thinking of buying or negotiating on land (even tricky FSBOs)? Let’s talk. ⁠ #JustClosed #LandDeal #FSBO #RealEstateWin #SmartBuying #MinnesotaRealEstate #LandGoals #ModernRusticLiving #ScoredBig #homestartshere

🔑 SOLD in Dassel, Minnesota! 🏡✨ ⁠ There’s something really special about helping great clients more than once — and this one comes full circle. We just closed on the sale of their beautiful home in Dassel, and I couldn’t be more thrilled for them!⁠ ⁠ Not long ago, I helped them find their dream cabin up north, and now they’ve officially made the move. Helping them transition from one chapter to the next — from the home they built so many memories in, to a peaceful new place in the woods — has been an honor. ⁠ ⁠ Repeat clients like these remind me why I love what I do. Cheers to new adventures, familiar faces, and homes that feel just right. 🥂 ⁠ #JustSold #DasselMinnesota #RepeatClients #CabinLife #FromCityToCabin #RealEstateJourney #MinnesotaRealEstate #GratefulHeart #ModernRusticLiving #HomeSweetHome
