We worked with Zach for the purchase of a new build and sale of our existing home. Zach was amazing to work with. He’s transparent and set clear expectations which he lived up to every time. Moving with 2 young children is stressful, but Zach went above and beyond in making the process as smooth and simple as possible. He also got us great value on both the buy and sell side. Highly recommend!!

We purchased our home from Kurt a little over a year ago and I have to say my wife and I have never had a better buying experience. He made a stressful process very easy for us and was always looking out for our best interest.
When he took us on our 1st couple of showings, rather than walking around pointing out features of the home, he just sat back and listened to us and answered any questions we had. It did not take long for Kurt to fully understand and know exactly what we were looking for. He was always there to give advise answer questions and give us recommendations. To this day he is still there for us when we need him.
If you want a realtor who is going to go the extra 10 miles for you, knows everything about the community, neighborhoods, and schools in the metro, then look no further than your own backyard. Kurt is the best choice.

Kurt has the combined abilities to be very knowledgeable about the processes of buying and selling homes, as well as being very easy to work with. We have had other realtors who knew the process, but not easy to work with, and realtors who were easy to work with, but at the closing left us on our own and seemed unable to solve some issues. We really appreciate his help in selling two properties, and will soon be closing on buying a home. He has been great through it all.

Ben was an amazing realtor to work with as he helped us navigate the home buying process from looking at a home, putting in an offer, adjusting our additional offer, and helping us to land a house all in the same day. He was very professional and responsive and was able to answer all of our questions without being pushy. He kept us relaxed and informed during a tense day and during a very competitive home buying market. We would definitely work with him again in buying or selling future homes and would highly recommend him to others.

Zach made our home selling, and home buying process experience amazing!
Zach's patience in working with us while we tried to find the right timing and the right home for our family proved his commitment and dedication to finding the right situation for us. I am confident many others would have given up on us =)
On the selling side, Zach was able to use his vast network and knowledge of the market to sell our home before we reached the public market, for well over what we were expecting! This helped to remove stress and angst from an otherwise potentially lengthy process.
On the buying side, Zach helped us to navigate through each speed bump and bend in the road with ease. Zach once again demonstrated his extreme professionalism, depth of his network and relationships, and poise to make sure that the buying process went as smooth as possible with a great deal of efficiency.
While we are confident that Zach has done an exemplary job in finding us our long term home to continue to raise our family, if them opportunity or need arises to look at the market again, Zach will certainly be the first and only call that we will make!

Kurt is simply the best! Kurt, Christy and the team are so wonderful to work with on any real estate needs. The team’s knowledge of the market is exceptional. Kurt is a terrific real estate professional in every way and makes the process a positive one from beginning to end. We will recommend Kurt to all of our friends and family. You won’t find a better person to work with than Kurt!

This is the fourth home I’ve purchased over the years and the smoothest of all real estate transactions I’ve experienced. And this was in an extremely competitive market- April through August 2021! Ben presented us with comps almost immediately after viewing homes we were interested in. He was an excellent sounding board when it came time to figure out what to offer and provided advice that kept us from making offers that we might regret later on. As could be expected during this time, we made multiple offers. When we got beat out because we didn’t want to offer more than our established limit, Ben calmed us down and promptly presented other homes to view. We couldn’t have been happier at the end of the day when we found the home of our dreams and paid what we feel is a fair price in a crazy market.

We cannot say enough good things about Zach! He is great to work with throughout the entire process of selling our home as we moved out of MN. He is always very responsive to calls/texts/emails any time of the day and any day of the week. Zach truly cares about his clients and is always willing to go above and beyond! Zach was always honest and up front in each step of the process. Zach did a fantastic job in dealing with the hassles thru the closing process due to the buyer. If you’re looking for someone that has your best interests in mind at all times, look no further than Zach! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Kurt worked with us and he was amazing! We were first time homebuyers and Kurt taught us so many different things about the home buying process and different things to look at in the houses we saw. Kurt was thorough and really looked out for the best interest for us as his clients. He is about gaining life long clients and making them feel special and we wouldn’t think to go with anyone else in the future!

Zach did a great job, he was friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. He never pushed or rushed you into anything that didn't feel right to you. He took time to explain everything in detail as I was a first time home buyer. Even after closing, he checks in and answers any questions I have. Highly recommend!

Working with Sally was delightful! As a first-time home buyer, I greatly appreciated Sally’s knowledge of the real estate market and home buying process. She answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

Kurt exceeded our expectations. He and his team have a deep understanding of this marketplace and was always willing to share his insights and provide research for other areas/properties, not just the house we were selling. When it comes to real estate, Kurt is a business partner, not just a realtor or listing agent. His team’s attention to detail, whether regarding flyers, staging, market comparable or gauging potential buyer’s interest, ensured a strong presentation and presence in the marketplace during our listing period (we sold in less than two weeks with over 20 showings the first week). Kurt is responsive and takes a straightforward approach to obstacles and challenges and was always one step ahead of any potential problems. We will work with Kurt again in the future and would strongly recommend the Peterson Skattum team.

Ben was the consummate professional. He responded to every question we had, and lead us in the direction that made selling easy. He also gave us great ideas about what we should focus on when getting our house ready to sell. Although this will be our last move, we would recommend him to family and friends!!
