I've done real estate all my life, and finding the right price is critical in selling a house. It was helpful to have Brace there to go through that with me and give me his counsel along the way. I didn't necessarily want to hear about the price of my house going down, but he delivered it as objectively as he could. Once I started getting offers, I was glad I had Brace representing me. His expertise in going through the process, talking it through with me, and handling the negotiations, was a huge support.

I would just like to take this moment to thank you and your staff for all of the wonderful help and support you gave to us on the sale of our home. We knew we had selected the right Agent to get this thing done. By the way, we were surprised to see how close the financial appraisal was to the actual sale price. We would have been in a world of hurt had we kept the price at our earlier levels. Thanks for the sage advice! You have earned every penny of your commission!

Brace Helgeson sells houses under $300K? We didn't know! Brace has a strong brand in EP but we almost didn't call him as we thought he only handled high end houses. We had 3 Realtors out to look at our EP house in Jan 2012 and went with Brace due to his strong reputation and expertise in the area. During the tough housing market the past 2 years, we felt we needed someone with this level of expertise to sell our home. We had it picture perfect and priced right. Brace's team capitalized on this and had it sold in basically a weekend with pre-listing marketing. We also had friends we referred to Brace who were overwhelmed with the amount of work to be done on their house in order to even list it. Brace sent his team in and had it ready to list within a month. We would strongly recommend using Brace and his team!

I am very lucky to have worked with everyone on your team and appreciate all that everyone did to sell my house.  Thanks Again!!  

-Pat S.

I really appreciated Brace's marketing ability and his command of the Internet. Brace really did his homework and they did a very thorough job. It took a little time to sell the house, but we had far more showings and we generated more interest than the previous year. Ultimately we were able to sell the house and we actually bought a smaller house through Brace as well.

My experience with The Brace Helgeson Group has always been pleasant. I've been using them for about five months and they've been very helpful and professional. I think it's very important to have a good Realtor when selling your house, that's key. The Brace Helgeson Group is professional and helpful!

I just wanted to thank you, Brace, and your very capable team for all your hard work in selling our house - again and again!  Krista Eull took great pictures, handled problems and twice delivered very difficult news to me with grace and understanding.  Cindy Ashley was very helpful in advising me as far as fixing things and negotiating.  We are very happy and continue to get settled in our new townhome.  So, thanks to you all for helping us move ahead with our lives. You're all great!

You rock! Josie Patterson SOLD OUR HOUSE!!! We believe that she is the sole reason that our home sold as quickly as it did. She was ALWAYS there when we needed her but better yet, she was always at our house eager to show it off. She went the extra mile while helping us stage our home and prepare it for viewing. Once it was perfect for show, SHE was the one that worked each and every open house. Her vast knowledge of our community is second to none. We love her passion for getting the job done! She was always "on it" and at the ready for whatever was thrown at her. We would recommend her (and her stellar team) for any of your real estate needs!

You did an excellent job. We were very pleased with everyone in your group. You certainly have put together a strong staff. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

We would like to thank Josie for the timeless effort she has put into selling our home. Everything she had done, and prepared us for, was great advice that made the difference in making us comfortable in the process. It still is nice to know that there are people like her looking out for others first, before themselves. Like Josie, we work in our professions on referrals and rely on them. For what she did for us and the way things were handled, her name will be given out when the time arises. Thanks for all your help, Josie!

In what is obviously a tough current housing market, the Brace Helgeson Group successfully sold our Eden Prairie home in only 33 days. Brace himself accurately predicted the top single thing we needed to do to sell our porperty in his first three minutes visiting the house.  Ryan Platzke found us our new Eden Prairie home in less than ten showings.  Their personal attention to our needs and their staff's service was top notch throughout the buy/sell process. Well done!

Both Brace Helgeson and Josie Patterson were very professional and great to work with. We were exceptionally satisfied with their follow-up and attention to details from contract through closing. The team was a pleasure to do business with.

When my husband and I learned we had to move, we didn't think twice before choosing Josie Patterson as our realtor. Not only was she knowledgeble about the details of our house design and builder, but as a Fairfield resident, Josie saw the value of the neighborhood. We knew she would be passionate about getting us a great price for our home and could show our home as easily as she could show her own.

Josie gave us excellent advice on staging our home for maximum effect and even lent us several items to assist. She was prompt in answering our many calls. The materials she and Coldwell provided to market our home were excellent. Josie was a great cheerleader and kept us positive despite the statistical home buying trends. In the end, she sold our home in 24 days!... we could not have been happier.
