Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Minnetonka, MN.
Review for Member: Jessalyn Manville
Jessalyn is an AMAZING agent who helped us through every step of the home searching/buying process! Her recommendations and guidance allowed us to be confident first time home buyers in a crazy real estate market. She works efficiently, is well connected in the industry, and an absolute joy to work with!

Our home buying experience with Meredith went better than we could have expected! She made it as stress-free and straightforward as possible by always being available for questions, and explaining each step of the process as we went. Meredith also had extreme flexibility in scheduling showings for us so we could get in and view houses as soon as possible. Once we expressed interest in putting an offer in on our house, Meredith reached out to the selling agent immediately and started a dialogue with them. That dialogue and transparency with the selling agent truly seemed to make a difference in getting an accepted offer on the 1st and only house we tried for. We couldn’t recommend Meredith enough – not only is she a great agent, she’s a wonderful person that is extremely enjoyable to work with!

Buying a house with Jessalyn Manville was so quick and easy! I wasn’t even sure I was ready to buy, but I wanted to see what was out there in my price range. Jessalyn set me up with a MLS search and I got daily emails with new listings. It was only the second listing that met all my ‘must haves’ criteria that we went and saw. I liked it a lot and Jessalyn wrote up a competitive offer that I was comfortable making! In a few short days we had a signed contract! I couldn’t even believe it! I thought I was just supposed to be seeing what was out there and now I’m got my dream place! It’sabsolutely perfect for me! Jessalyn took care of everything and I felt totally confident that she had my best interests in mind! It could not have been an easier, more positive home buying experience!

We bought and sold a house with her – highly recommend her! She was always available, knowledgeable and great to work with. Very professional. We bought our forever house or else I would say I can’t wait to work with her again!

Sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Minnetonka, MN.
We had just cancelled one of those we buy your home as-is offers due to the realization that the contract had no guarantees for us. We only had 30 days to sell our home before needing to leave Minnesota for our new Florida home. We desperately want to leave the state with a clean slate. We contacted Meredith and signed a listing agreement with her. While she did not guarantee a sells price that would match or exceed the as-is offer, she was clear about the market conditions and her capabilities. Within a week, she help us prepare the house for showing. She coordinated getting yard help to clear-up fall leaves and falling brush. The yard for sale sign was installed. The home was on all of the local and internet listings. Within a week, after several showing, we had a full price offer. After all commissions and other related expenses, we netted a few dollars more than the as-is offer. Meredith placed our sale in an escrow company that she knew could support our fast escrow. The day we left town was the day the we closed escrow. Very professional service with added value. Thanks Meredith.

Jess made the stressful and complicated process of buying our first home easy and straightforward. We looked at many houses that Jess found for us before finding the perfect home in a great neighborhood. Do yourself a favor and choose Jess as your realtor!

Bought a Condo home in 2019 in Bloomington, MN.
I have now purchased two homes with Jess and she made both experiences friendly and transparent. As someone who was very naive in the home purchasing process, Jess guided me through it step-by-step. She was available and willing to answer any questions I had in the process. Jess also understood my budget and worked on my behalf to stay within it. I can’t wait for my next home purchase to work with her again!

Jessalyn was amazing! She has helped us buying and selling homes and got us the best price on both sides! She is prompt, knowledgeable and always willing to answer our questions. I would highly recommend working with her and have referred her to friends and family with no hesitation!

Bought a Single Family home in 2019 in Mound, MN.
We were relocating to MN and had no knowledge of the area we were looking in for a new home. Being a long timeresident Jess was the perfect match for us. She heard our checklist and showed us properties that only checked the boxes. Huge timesaver in a relocation. She is so responsive and knowledgeable, and if she didn’t know something she found the answers quickly. She is a great resource for after the sale too, connecting us with contractors we needed for upgrades we wanted to do in our new home. When you spend so much time with a realtor you hope that their personality will be a fit and Jess is, she became like family to us! We will definitely call her when we start looking soon for a lake property for our retirement home!

Jessalyn did an amazing job helping us find a home that perfectly met our needs. She was very prompt answering any questions I had and very knowledgeable on all matters that came up. She helped us with strategies to be the successful bidder when there were multiple offers. I would highly recommend Jessalyn to anyone buying or selling a house in the western suburbs of Minneapolis.

Bought a Townhouse home in 2019 in Brooklyn Park, MN.
She was very patient with me when she had to repeatedly explain items on the purchase agreement that I did not quite understand. She worked hard to help me find my new home and I would recommend family and friends to connect with her whenever they are looking to buy a house!

Jess did a great job! Helped us stage, market and manage showings with ease. She was very responsive and help us through the process. What is most amazing is that she navigated and sold our home at the beginning of the pandemic!

Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Bloomington, MN.
From the moment we began our search to the final closing of selling our house after purchasing our dream one, Meredith was relentless in standing by our side through the craze of the 2021 housing market. Meredith’s commitment to truly getting to know her clients to best understand their vision of their home and how to make it a reality, her strong and confident demeanor never backing down from getting the best for her clients, and her passion and joy in getting you HOME, she is unlike any other realtor I’ve met. Even though this was my second home purchase, it was my husband’s first and the market had greatly changed. I had endless questions, emails after emails, and an urgency amplified by the crazy market and Meredith never made me feel like a burden. While we were aggressive with our offers, we lost out on four, yet walked away grateful we didn’t go beyond our needs just to outbid someone and trust all the strategy was enough. And sure enough, after a fifth offer, our fourth offer came back after the buyer pulled out and even though our offer was like 3 other folks, Meredith’s reputation and guidance on our strategy stuck out and brought us to the most beautiful home we never thought possible in the cities. I can’t even count the miles we drove looking an hour north of the cities to an hour south of the cities, and time spent adjusting the schedules for tours with our work schedules as houses were selling 2-3 days after being listed. Meredith showed up to every moment with a smile, a laugh, and the sincerest support for us. We not only found our beautiful perfect home, but we negotiated almost $10,000 back.
From there, we sold our home for $40,000 OVER asking with 7 offers to consider. Meredith handled everything from the photos, prepping the space, and advertising to lead to quality offers in a market flooded by superficial offers leaving the sellers screwed in the end.
Now a year later, Meredith still meaningfully checks in on us, wants to hear updates on the garden and if we’re happy, still answered questions when taxes came around, and it’s clear the relationship she made with us was far from being transactional, but was genuine and for life.
I cannot recommend Meredith enough, whether you’re downsizing, purchasing your first home, looking for more space or to start a hobby farm. She will be with you every step of the way and will assure the best outcomes for you and your family.

I really enjoyed working with Meredith!
I was downsizing from a house to a condo in early 2021. Starting a few months before the house went on the market, she helped me with figure out what I needed to do to sell my home, putting me in touch with experts on the subject as needed. She also began looking for condo opportunities, specifically at a building I was interested in. A perfect condo in that building came up for sale a couple of months before I was ready to put my house on the market. She helped me negotiate a deal to get the condo before my house was sold. In my mind, this is due to her ability to establish trusting relationships with sellers and realtors. My house had multiple offers and sold for a significant amount over the asking price. You would be well served to use Meredith as your realtor!

Bought a Townhouse home in 2022 in Minnetonka, MN.
Meredith guided me through my first homebuying experience and I don’t know where I’d be without her. She took the time to walk me through everything I needed to know and what to expect at every step. Meredith was always on top of everything, was patient with me and answered all of my questions. She always has your back and knows how to win. If you are buying a home in this market, call Meredith. She will get the job done!

Meredith is a consummate professional. She explains things in a way you can understand, she is readily available, she doesn’t get frustrated, and she is very knowledgeable and open to a variety of options. She communicates with her clients in an open and honest way, and she never makes you feel alone in the process. Home walkthroughs were complete, fun and thorough without feeling rushed or impersonal. It was always a joy to hear from and be around Meredith, and I know you’ll feel the same way. I cannot recommend her enough.

Meredith is an ALL-IN realtor. She is intelligent, dedicated, and an advocate for everyone she works with. She was there whenever we had questions or needed advice with any of our home seeking needs. Meredith makes every home walk-thru feel so personable and comfortable. We always felt like she had our back with everything and made sure we did everything the right way and in the best way possible for us financially. We can’t wait to work with her again someday! 🙂

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Wayzata, MN.
I can’t imagine going through the home buying process with anyone other than Meredith.
During each interaction she was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, communicative and positive. By building instant trust, she made us feel at ease during a stressful time. Oh and did I mention , through her negotiations she landed us our dream home in a dream location!
I highly recommend her, as well as the teams she partners with.
