Let’s put you on the fastest, easiest, most profitable path to 

Sell your home in Minneapolis–Saint Paul

Here’s the thing about selling your home: once you’re ready to do it, you’re ready to do it. 

You don’t want to waste time interviewing realtors in the Twin Cities, preparing your house to sell, making a marketing plan, and waiting around for the right offer. 

You want to sell your house in St. Paul or Minneapolis as efficiently and profitably as possible, so you can move on to the really fun part: moving into your new home!

Ready to Make Some Moves?

(Or at least one move… out of your old house and into someplace new?)

As your Minneapolis–St. Paul realtor, I don’t just want to sell your house. I want to sell it smart. 

I’ll help you make wise real estate decisions, streamline the process from start to finish, and quickly get your asking price (or more). And we’ll have some fun along the way!

Let me show you how I’ve helped dozens of Twin Cities locals like you make the home-selling process breezier than a summer day in Stillwater.

Hi there! I’m Abby, an award-winning Old Home Certified real estate agent based in the Twin Cities.

Since 2007, I have bought, renovated, and sold dozens of vintage homes. While I have a successful track record selling homes of all ages, old ones are my favorite. I love the charm (and even the challenge!) of a creaky hardwood floor or original clawfoot tub. Call me a hopeless romantic!

But my head’s not in the clouds. After extensive education and a diverse career (including 10 years as an emergency medicine physician assistant), I bring a calm, practical, and professional approach to my real estate work. 

Get To Know Abby

I don’t settle for “good enough” — I do whatever it takes to exceed your expectations. Even if that means making last-minute repairs, helping you pack, or hauling boxes to your beautiful new (old) home.

If you want to work with a Minneapolis–St. Paul realtor who feels more like a friend — your smartest, savviest friend! — let’s meet for a coffee or glass of wine. I’d love to see if and how I can help you make your real estate dreams a reality.

Your friendly, experienced minneapolis-st. paul realtor

“She got a top offer for our home”

“Abby is the absolute best! She was available, paid great attention to detail, and made the whole process as smooth as possible. We are so grateful she was the one to sell our home and would absolutely choose Abby again!"

–Kristen L.

“We had more than one offer the first week”

“We were selling a unique home that needed an experienced realtor. Abby has the interest and knowledge that brought out the special character and details of our home. She was attentive and responsive to our questions and concerns. We couldn’t be happier with the ease of the listing, open house, and closing."

–Julie B

“We had many options for a realtor — Abby was the right fit”

Abby was: 1) thorough, no detail missed (and was immediately on top of other people who did miss details!), 2) very accessible via email and phone, and 3) a smart marketer: she 110% values staging, knows smart ROI for selling preparation, and gets the right exposure. This was the key differentiator for us.”

Selling Your Home

01 /
Prepare

We’ll start by identifying an ideal price range and what updates (if any) should be made prior to listing your home. With my Staged to Sell program, you’ll get a FREE professional staging consult, pre-market house cleaning, and eight hours of handyman services to ensure your home looks its absolute best for potential buyers.

02 /
Promote

Next, we’ll prepare all marketing materials to sell your house. My Staged to Sell program includes professional photos, a 3D video tour, floorplan drawings, and room measurements — all free of charge. With those in hand, I’ll create content for social media, websites, the MLS, and other outlets to share your home far and wide.

03 /
List

Now, it’s go time! With your listing live on the MLS and online search engines, house showings will begin. I’ll facilitate any tours and open houses necessary, collect feedback from buyers, and provide you with regular updates. We’ll repeat this process weekly until you receive the right offer and I’m able to negotiate your ideal contract.

04 /
Sell!

Once the contract is signed, I’ll help you handle the remaining paperwork (heads up: it’s a lot). Then, we’ll move on to inspections, appraisals, and contingencies as needed. At last, we’ll finalize insurance, utilities, and financing before doing a final walk-through of the home and handing over the keys. Congrats — you’ve just sold your house!

You’re in good company — so are most of my clients! While buying and selling a home at the same time can sound chaotic, I have a proven process to make it as simple and stress-free as possible. 

First, I’ll help you decide whether it makes more sense for you to sell your house before buying a new one, or vice versa. Then, I’ll create a personalized, step-by-step plan to ensure all the moving pieces stay on track and on time. Finally, I’ll help you move out of your old house and into your new one — while staying sane!

FAQ

Home sellers often ask me…

What does “Old Home Certified” mean?

As an Old Home Certified real estate agent, I have taken a special training program to broaden my knowledge of buying and selling historic homes. Along with completing continuing education to maintain this certification every year, I have personal experience with owning old homes. Since 2007, I have bought, renovated, and sold pre-1940s homes in St. Paul, giving me on-the-ground know-how to pair with my professional expertise.

I want to sell my older home, but [objection]…

…make a plan to renovate it in the simplest, most cost-effective way — whether you’re doing the work yourself or hiring it out.

Do you buy and sell only old homes? What about new homes?

While vintage homes are my passion, I’m happy to buy or sell newer homes, too! The most important thing is to ensure you and I are on the same page from day one. As long we maintain clear communication and you’re willing to trust my process, I’m confident I can sell your home — whenever it was built!

What’s included in your fee?

While my rates are comparable to many real estate agents in Minneapolis–St. Paul, I include more than most — meaning you get more bang for your buck. Along with personal assistance throughout the process, I include everything in my Staged to Sell program: a staging consult, professional home cleaning, handyman services, floorplans, professional photography / videography, and more. My goal is always to make the experience as affordable and easy for you as possible.

Will I work directly with you, Abby, or someone else?

Yes, you will work with me! As an individual agent, I do not work with a team or assistant — which means you always get my full attention. The only exception is for last-minute showings. While I do my best to make same-day showings work, with three kids in school and various activities, I sometimes have a scheduling conflict. In that case, I enlist one of my trustworthy backup agents to show the house for you, and I follow up personally as soon as possible.

I have another question…

That’s what I’m here for! You might find the answer to your question on my blog, but if not, just send me an email. I’m sure I can point you in the right direction.
