Minneapolis Realtor, John Schuster, of the John Schuster Group deserves some kudos for a real estate sale and purchase he negotiated last week in the Minneapolis area. In a market like the one we are experiencing today, it's good news when we experience success.

I had some customers who had found their dream home a few months ago. They had a home to sell in the Minneapolis area and wanted to upgrade to a home nearby. Reading the news of the real estate market recently they were a bit skeptical if the deal could be accomplished.

The buyers had met John Schuster as a result of his listing. They had noticed the house a year ago when it was significantly different in terms of price. At this new value this year, they wrote a purchase agreement with John Schuster and promptly listed their house in Minneapolis.

In a period of just 7 weeks, John had their home sold so they could lift their contingency and move to their new home. I was able to help the buyers with their financing and they locked in at the bottom of the market in terms of interest rate.

If we believe the press, we hear all day long how we can't sell our houses and we can't get a mortgage. "Nobody has mortgage money to lend", they like to write in the press. This blatantly inaccurate press might sell papers but it's far from the truth. Here's a great story about how Minneapolis residents can sell their homes and can get a mortgage-- sorry, press. It actually happens.

The buyers told me as an aside, "John worked a miracle for us".

Well, that kind of comment just shouldn't go unnoticed as far as I was concerned. I heard many good comments along the way about how attentive John was to his Minneapolis buyers. I witnessed their respect for him at their real estate closing.

In some small way, I'd just like to note success out there in the Minneapolis real estate market today. John Schuster is not the only one selling homes, and I'm not the only one lending morgage money. Real estate transactions are actually up over last year but you probably won't read that in the paper. So here it is--there's good news, too!
