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!"

A private lake with no public access… it doesn’t get quieter than this. This Hackensack property sits on Trillium Lake, a truly private northwoods lake with calm water, quiet mornings, and the kind of peace everyone is trying to escape to. The lot is level, buildable, and comes with a 40x40 garage already set for all your up-north toys. Minutes from Hackensack, Longville, Walker, and some of Minnesota’s best recreation lakes. If you’ve been waiting for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature, this one is special. Would you build a cabin here or use it as a weekend escape?

Closed in Brainerd! 🥳 We had the pleasure of representing the buyer on this beautiful townhome — just steps from the trails. This client came to us through a referral from past clients (the best compliment we can receive 🙌). Another smooth and seamless transaction in the books! #BrainerdMN #JustSold #MinnesotaRealEstate #theswansonlaketeam
