In 2010, I moved to Lakes Area Realty and started the Chris Dennis Group. As the real estate market started to recover in 2011, I transitioned my business back to traditional residential real estate. In 2019 I opened the Lake Minnetonka office for Lakes Area Realty in historic downtown Excelsior on the shores of Lake Minnetonka.

The office has over 25 Realtors and Brokers who love helping our clients with every step of their real estate transactions. We are the top producing team and office in the brokerage with over totaled over $500,000,000 in sales, $200,000,000 of those done personally. I represent clients on traditional residential, residential investment property, and commercial building transactions.

 My responsiveness and vast knowledge of the market is what keeps my clients completely satisfied throughout the entire buying or selling process. I’m proud to be one of Lakes Area Realty’s elite real estate agents.

Barb@LakesAreaRealty.com

Being named "Agent of the Year" of the Excelsior office and "Top 5%" in Lakes Area Realty overall (in 2022) has been an amazing achievement but even better is when my clients find their home and I'm able to guide them through the process to make it happen.  It takes time, negotiation, connection, honesty and answering a lot of questions but it's worth it to see how happy they are at closing and move in day.  On the flip side, there's the selling of your home which takes a bit more work to prepare.  There are many aspects to getting a home ready for sale and I have the tools and experience to guide you in the process.  We will meet for a tour of your home and discuss the upgrades and improvements. 

Afterwards, you will receive a complete market valuation.  Once you decide to sell, I will hire a professional staging company for a complimentary staging consultation, provide professional photography w/drone & floorplans, live videos, and marketing that goes above and beyond.  Contact me anytime to get started.

Jan@JanNygren.com

I have been a Real Estate agent for 22 years. My working background started in our family business of over 40 years. I’m the third generation of our prosperous Retail clothing stores that were located in Excelsior, Hopkins, St Paul and Elbow Lake Mn. My parents came out to Excelsior in 1962 and opened up Nygren’s Ladies Apparel, that’s where it all began for me at the age of five. By the time I turned twenty-one my dad decided to semi retire, he handed the keys over to me and I became President of our clothing store. The skills that I learned at a very young age has helped me in my Real Estate career. Learning how to work with clients and fulfilling their needs. Listening to their wants and desires and making that dream come true.

I work with first time buyers starting their new journey on their home search. Seasoned buyers and sellers who have had experience buying and selling property, and Investment buyers finding that special property to invest in. Or marketing a sellers home by making recommendations for getting the home ready to put on the market, staging, photos/videos, and preparing a market by running comparables, and proper pricing unique to their home.

Also, negotiating the transaction to get the highest and best price for their property. By operating a family business for many years, it has groomed me to have a high level of professionalism and business experience in my Real Estate career.

I look forward to working with you, I am never too busy for your referrals!

Jen@LakesAreaRealty.com

Growing up in southern Minnesota on a farm taught me many things. Chasing chickens twice is a real thing! Time with family is the most valuable and you never forget the design or floor plan of a home you love. 

These days I am far from the farm but continue to have a love for home designs, floor plans, and time with family. After being a teacher and realizing the schedule wasn’t flexible enough to be a mother while working, I found a career where I can work with others and help teach them about the experience of buying or selling a home.Combining a love for teaching and learning with my love for real estate!

 I love the aspect of vacation homes and how they highlight how valuable family time is. Another focus of mine is the unique layout of accessible homes which goes with my passion of inclusion and advocacy for people with all abilities. 

Outside of being a mother to four children ages 7-15 and a Realtor, I am a Minnesota ambassador for the LGS foundation. I am also a member of the Epilepsy Society of Minnesota, active with Hopekids, and spend time volunteering in the community while being a fierce advocate for children with special needs.

I would love the opportunity to help you achieve your real estate dreams whether it having chickens on a farm, being in a big city, small town, or owning a vacation home. I'd be honored to assist you in your next real estate transaction!

"Great things are done by a series of small things done together." ~ Vincent van Gogh

As a real estate agent, I draw on my ability to see the whole real estate transaction, while managing the multiple components of the process. I understand that buying or selling a home is about you – your needs, desires, and dreams. I will listen to you and help you achieve your unique goals.

Backed by Lakes Area Realty, I am dedicated to delivering excellent service and extra value by providing timely, consistent, and accurate communications from the beginning of our agreement to the completion of your transaction.

Art, architecture, design, aesthetics, and making connections are my passions. All have led me to real estate. When working with sellers, I draw on those attributes to advise my clients as to how to prepare their house to shine in its best light, set an appropriate price, and determine the most effective marketing tools. I help buyers see not only the possibilities and potential, which are important, but also practical considerations inherent in every home they may be considering.

My associate degree in Architectural Technology and my bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Mass Communications enhance my knowledge and abilities to serve as your agent. I have owned five homes and designed/managed extensive remodels in each. My husband, Karl Yeager, is a twin cities area real estate attorney with 30-plus years of experience. He is my resident legal expert!

I believe in connecting with and giving back to my community. I enjoy volunteering as a docent at the Minneapolis Institute of Art giving tours of the galleries and special exhibits. I volunteered as part of a home building crew for Habitat for Humanity. I served as a United Way co-chair and ambassador.

Minnesota is my home. I was born here, and I have lived here with my family in the Lake Minnetonka and Stillwater areas. I love spending time enjoying the many lakes and waterways. I also enjoy hiking and skiing in the amazing recreation areas in this beautiful state.

As my client, you will be my highest priority as we work together to meet your dreams and goals.

Kristin@ChrisDennisGroup.com

Since 2011, I have been helping home buyers, sellers and investors achieve their real estate goals. I began my career as a real estate investor, rehabbing homes and reselling them as a side business to my career in the regulatory field. I soon had friends and family asking for my help with their own buying and selling needs and so I made the transition to a full time career as a Realtor. Since that time I have worked with many clients almost exclusively from referrals. Having my clients recommend me to others as a trusted guide in their real estate endeavors has been the most rewarding part of this job. My clients appreciate having an agent that is knowledgeable in home construction, home ownership and our local market. If you are looking for an agent that is trustworthy, thorough and client focused, give me a call today.
