- Metropolitan Home team was there for me through the whole process of selling my home as well as buying a new home. They wee always available when I had questions and got the best price on both properties.Mary M.
- Great group that works hard to get the house you want. Every time we called to look at house they set up the times and got it dialed in to get to the house first to look at it over other potentials buyers. Very helpful when your buying in a hot market!Landon
- They helped my wife and I purchase our first home together. It was a long but educational process and we truly appreciate Tim and Diana's patience and persistence. We will definitely recommend this team to our friends and family!Ray B.
- We had a great experience with Tim and Diana. I would definitely recommend them. Diana was so helpful with everything. I had the power of attorney for the selling of my parents town house so things were not as easy as I was expecting. Diana made things so much easier for us.Sold a home in Galaxie commons, Apple valley, MN.
- Working with metropolitan home team was a great experience. They walked us through the process and took the stress out of buying and selling. They took the time to make sure they answered all of our questions and made us feel comfortable with each step in the process. I would highly recommend!Eckert B.
- My wife and I were extremely happy with our home buying experience. Diana went above and beyond our expectations researching properties and previewing several as we moved from out of town. She is very friendly and personable, and goes out of her way to make sure you are getting the best deal possible. She made herself available at all hours of the day for us and was very helpful negotiating back and forth with the seller's agent. We knew she was on our side throughout the entire process! Would definitely recommend her and the rest of her team!Godfrey C.
- Tim and team were incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to aggressively negotiate a fair price for the home we were buying. I was impressed with Tim's attention to detail and quick turn when we had questions. Thanks for the extra effort getting us into a place we loved. Hopefully it will be a few years before we have to go through buying/selling a home again but I'd work with MHT again without a doubt.Bought a home in Champlin, MN.
- Tim & Diana were both extremely friendly, informative, and honest right from the start. Being a first time home buyer, I didn't know exactly what to expect with the process of buying a home, nor did I know what types of homes were realistic to find in my search area and price range. I walked out of my first meeting having a better understanding of what to expect. They were there to answer any questions that came up along the way and were always prompt with responses. As we began to look at a number of homes, they talked through what I liked and what I didn't like about homes. Tim was able to pick up on things that I was thinking subconsciously but hadn't even realized yet with items that were must haves in a home as well as items I wanted to completely avoid. If I was ever stuck on an issue with a home, they provided options for fixing it, if possible, so I could look past it or were honest when I should look elsewhere. Their knowledge of the market and what the value of a home is and where it could go as well as what different updates could possibly do to its value were very helpful along the way. When it came to presenting an offer and negotiating, Metropolitan Home Team went to bat and did everything I asked of them and more. I was very happy with the whole negotiation process. They then supplied suggestions of lenders, home inspectors, etc. to help begin my search and answered all my questions about what to look for in these services. Closing was a breeze because they prepared me and ensured I was informed and had everything prior to closing completed well ahead of time. I can't thank them enough for everything they did for me and how easy they made the process. I am excited to be able to enjoy what is now my home!Brad F.
- Tim and Diana continue to exceed all of our expectations! Last year they helped us sell our home in a very difficult market. This year it was time to buy. They listened to us and helped us define our specific requirements, then skillfully leveraged all of their assets to find exactly what we were looking for...without wasting our time. Their understanding of market conditions and fair market value combined with exceptional negotiation skills, attention to detail, back-end support and tireless communication helped us to secure our new home on Spring Lake. I would recommend this team to anyone looking for friendly, professional real estate support and guidance.Debi W.
- By offering candid insight and feedback throughout the home buying process, the Metropolitan Home Team demonstrated that their extensive experience and unique perspective make them a treat to work with. They answered the myriad questions that I threw their way in a concise and comprehensible manner.Bought a home in Stillwater, MN.
- We had a fabulous experience with Metropolitan Home Team as our realtors. They were helpful as we are first time home buyers and needed a lot of guidance and education. They were patient and responsive. We are incredibly satisfied with our home buying experience and would recommend Metropolitan Home Team to all of our friends and family.K Colvin
- Worked with Tim Murphy and Diana Pedersen both did an amazing job for us. They had specific listings for exactly what we were looking for and were on top of their game. Met with us on short notice every time a new listings was available. Very informative and willing to answering any questions along the process. This was our first home purchase and it couldn't have gone any smoother.Past Client
- Tim and Diana were incredible. After almost giving up multiple times, Tim found us the perfect place. They worked overtime, answering emails, texts, and phone calls to get us the house of our dreams. Tim's experience was exactly what we needed to guide us through our first home purchase. He provided us his expert opinion while simultaneously guiding us to make decisions for ourselves. His connections in the community has been invaluable in helping make things easy and get contract work done even after we closed.Jo Barta
- Ryan found out what we wanted and didn't assume he already knew. He was responsive to our needs and questions. He knew we wanted to close as soon as possible and he helped us accept an offer on the second day the property was listed.Mike T.
- Smart, professional, and ready to work for you. Available at all times of the day and night. Made my home buying experience a very positive one. I will be recommending the Metropolitan Home Team to my family and friends.Bought a home in Centerville, MN.
- Tim is patient and extremely helpful! As first time home buyers we could not be more greatful to have worked with such a great group of people. Buying a house for the first time can be scary but MHT made it as easy and enjoyable. We always felt like we were in good hands with them. We highly recommend working with this team.Bought a home in Maplewood, MN.
- Tim Murphy and his processor Diana were both fantastic to work with and made a stressful relocation bearable. From educating me on the market to walking me through all of my options. Thy are true professionals and Tim is a real estate market expert. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a realtor to work with Tim and Diana!J Lawton
- I had the best experience with my situation. They made it so easy as I was in for major surgery. Things went very smoothly and they got the best price for me. Would definitely use them again and also recommend them to other friends.D.L Bunde
- When I first started looking at homes online, Tim reached out to me 5 or 6 times within the first 3 days. That told me that he would be persistent and professional, so I returned his call. At first I wasn't entirely sure we would be moving to the Twin Cities and Tim assured me that was ok and that he wanted to give me the right information about neighborhoods, etc. He told me I was not wasting his time, that's what he's there for. We looked at about 15 houses including houses at the very peak of my budget. He talked to me about what was important to me and my family and ultimately assisted me to find the best option. His negotiation skills and knowledge of the market/comp sales were fantastic. h pointed out potential pitfalls of homes we were looking at. I was really impressed. The response time to emails, calls and texts were always fast. RE/MAX agents are called "trusted advisors" and I saw firsthand how true that was! I'd recommend the Metropolitan Home Team to everyone looking for a great home buying experience. When it comes time to sell my house, I'm certain Tim Murphy will get it done right. Thanks Tim and Diana.Tracy H.
- From the get go, Ryan and team made sure we understood the home buying process as first time home buyers. Ryan Thiesen went above and beyond by scheduling a viewing within 12 hours notice. To the very end, it was Ryan advocating for us.Suedi
- We had a difficult time working to sell our house then we brought on Metropolitan Home Team. Diana and Time were AWESOME. The communication was excellent between Tim, Diana and my wife and I. We were a little under water on our property and Tim worked with everyone tirelessly to help us come up with a deal that would work for us and the buyer. I know this was not a high dollar sale however this team worked just as hard as if it was a multi-million dollar sale. We no longer live in the area making several things difficult to say the least. They helped us line up quotes for painting and general handyman services. They have an EXCELLENT contact for staging the entire property with a lower cost that you will find anywhere! They ensured our property looked as good as it could without us even have to physically be there. I know they had our best interests in mind the entire time. I would definitely recommend this team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property!Bryan L.
- Living in Oregon and selling a house shouldn't be an easy task. Taking a recommendation from our previous next door neighbors (whom Tim also sold their home) I know we made the right decision. From the first time we "met" (I asked 3 realtors for a video call interview, he was the only one that did, without hesitation) to answering texts and emails well beyond what I would consider working hours, Tim and team are always there to help. Tim also met with the renters that we had in the house beforehand, to work with them making their move out easier, as well as getting a better idea of any improvements that would be needed before selling. His team did a great job of staging the house and recommending cleaners and painters as well. In a home sale, things can't ever go 100% to plan, but Tim could be counted on to let us know about any bumps quickly, as well as provide solutions immediately. Our house sold within hours the first time that it went up, and days the second time. This was due to circumstances outside of our control, hence the first half of the paragraph. If I lived in the area, I would certainly use Tim again. Living outside of the area, I would trust Tim and team to sell any properties I owned.Brian K.
- Tim,Diana, and their team took a scary unknown transaction, and made it pleasant. Short sales have had a negative shameful feeling about them. Tim and Diana took the sting out of it all. The Metropolitan Home Team took care of everything ! All while doing it with a personal, compassionate, professional touch. I highly recommend them if you should ever have the need to short sale or forclose on your property. I will be using them when the time comes for me to purchase another home. Thank you both! !Heather W.
- I both sold my house and bought a new house in far less time than I expected to do either. Was very, very happy! I first met Tim about a year before I was ready to do anything and he just periodically touched base with me, so when I was ready things really moved quickly.Past Client
- Very friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend Tim and Diana for any real estate situation. They made the entire process of selling and buying so easy.Past Client
- The staff are wonderful at communication and problem solving! They are welcoming and make you feel comfortable during the whole home buying process. I highly recommend working with the Metro Home Team.Carlton N.
- My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Metropolitan Home Team when w purchased our first house and our second house. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and very organized which made it very nice to work with them.Rachel B.
- This team is fantastic. We ran across them by accident and what an accident! This team is friendly, knowledgeable and cater everything to your schedule. Home buying was much easier with this group of wonderful people to help us! I highly recommend The Metropolitan Home Team!Bought a home in Dayton's bluff, Saint paul, MN.
- Jeff and Diana were very helpful with details of both sale and purchase of my homes. Both deals were totally completed in less than three months. I would recommend the team.Linda D.
- My realtor was absolutely great, she was patient and helpful, always in contact, professional and friendly. She found the perfect home for the perfect price just for me!Sherri S.
- I would highly recommend the Metropolitan Home Team (especial Tim Murphy) for you home buying/selling experience. Tim was great to work with and always went above and beyond to make things easier for my wife and I. He was always responsive to our questions and always made sure to lay everything out in the simplest terms for us to understand. Tim and Metropolitan Home Team have earned a customer for life and I would HIGHLY recommend them!Scotty M.
- The Metropolitan Home Team and Especially Tim Murphy are a real Class Act. We were referred to Tim Murphy in 2011after meeting several agents from various agencies. We have now used him in 3 transactions. Both my wife and I had specific items in mind and a specific budget and Tim not only found us an ideal first home but helped us sell it and find the perfect second home when our family needs changed. He treated us with empathy and compassion and his work ethic shows that he not only cares about his clients and his profession but he is also passionate about what their company can do for their clients. The Metropolitan Home Team is not interested in the "quick sale" that some other agencies are. They truly care about their clients and want to build lasting relationships to provide any assistance in their home needs. I have recommended Tim and the Metropolitan Home Team to both friends of mine as well as family.R. Thiesen
- Tim Murphy and his team at Metropolitan Home Team were most helpful throughout the home buying process. Tim was always there to answer questions and give advice at a moments notice. The guidance given for our financial package was great and couldn't have been done without Tim's referral to a top notch mortgage company. They helped us raise our credit score in just two months to qualify for the best GI Bill Loan we could get! Tim was instrumental in negotiating and finalizing our offer getting us the best possible deal and working with the sellers agent through much give and take. The package was the best for both buyers and sellers. We love our home and it wouldn't have been possible without the help from Tim and the Metropolitan Home Team!Bought a Single Family home in Eagan, MN.
- Hillary Slama was simply amazing. She had so much knowledge about home values and repair costs. She got to know us and knew exactly what we wanted in a home before we did. She was available whenever we needed her and answered our questions timely and honestly. We would use her 1000 times if we could, but since she got us into our dream home, we'll probably stay for a while.Karla J.
- Hillary found us the house that not only fulfilled all my requirements but had that certain je ne sais quoi my wife needed. We even got the bonus of a heated garage!Pete G.
- Hillary has helped us purchase our last 2 homes and sell our first one. She always makes herself available via phone, email, text or even in person. She helped answer ALL our questions and went above any beyond to make sure we were not feeling rushed at any stage. She was working around the clock to get our home sold for more than we had hoped and she even picked up the slack when we were left in the lurch by a buyer who was less than ideal and pulled out at the last second. I honestly cannot imagine buying or selling another home without the Hillary and her team behind us.Sara N.
- Our experience was great. The agent was responsive, helpful, and had a great understanding of our priorities helping us to find the best place for us. Thank you!Amwenz
- Metropolitan Home Team helped us sell our home and found us a new one!! The team was very easy to work with and knew what they were doing when it came to selling. On the buying side we NEVER felt rushed or persuaded into a purchase!! Thanks Tim and MHT!!!Stephanie C.
- Very honest, very professional, Tim and his team did a great job, always kept me informed, and were very easy to contact with any questons I had. Metropolitan Home Team went way above the call to search out the right buyer, and were particularly good at working with difficult banks and lenders. I would definitely use MHT again!Past Client
- I could not imagine my life without the warm feeling I get every time I walk into our new house. Without Tim Murphy listening to our needs and wants for a new house, we would have never found it. He not only listened, but went well beyond his duties as an agent, by opening our minds to new ideas and new places. He followed through quickly on every email regarding questions we had about the process of buying a house, negotiations, and final closing. He was there until the end and still makes contact with us just to ask how we are doing. He also helped rent out our first place, which he helped find me 7 years ago (unfortunately have out grown). His knowledge about the housing market put my husband and I at ease. I have and will continue to recommend Tim Murphy to anyone who is currently buying, selling or renting their home. Thank you again Tim for your dedication to our family. We are finally home!szieman
- Whether you are buy or selling, I would highly recommend Tim Murphy! Tim was very strategic on pricing our home to sell, yet maximizing our overall profit. He offered helpful tips on getting our house ready and in the end sold our home in under 2 weeks – for just barely under asking price! We couldn’t have been happier and this allowed us to quickly turnaround and find our dream home without the stress of carrying two mortgages. Tim was extremely patient with us throughout the search for our new home. My husband and I had different ideas of what we were looking and Tim worked with us to find a good compromise - in the end he helped us find the perfect home for both of us. Of course the house we fell in love with needed some work and was overpriced compared with others in the area. We didn’t want to lose the house, but needed to get a fair deal on it – that’s where Tim’s incredible negotiating skills came in. He went back and forth with the seller, pointing out things we never would have thought of, did a ton of research on the history of home prices in the area, and in the end got us the house for fair market value. It is now a year later and we are amazed at how smooth and relatively low stress the entire process was. We would absolutely not be where we are today without Tim Murphy!LRonlu
- Tim is a great asset to have your team. He is a tough negotiator and will work to get exactly what you want (and more) out of the deal. He was very responsive to my needs when I had questions and concerns about the sale. I would recommend him to anyone needing real estate assistance.BPEM
- Tim Murphy was able to present and negotiate the sale of my house for $10,000 more than I expected, and he got me this sweet deal on a better house in a better neighborhood for far less then I expected.Paulyjohn
