About Carver County, MN

I just got back from Dallas at a Managers meeting at our corporate office. What they spoke of in one meeting is the importance of farming the area you live in. As I sat and listened, I kept thinking about a team of Realtors that do this better than most in Chanhassen, MN.

Minnesota Home Experts - the Joe and Cindy Team at Re/Max Action West

Every week we get to see this extremely hard working couple on the front page of the Chanhassen Villager. Mind you, this is not inexpensive, however, every week they are consistently there. This is how they operate their business. Professional, trusting & consistent. 147 Homes SOLD in 2011. This also includes properties that range from REO's to beautiful properties in Eden Prairie, Edina, Chanhassen & Minnetonka.

I tip my hat off to this well established and experienced Real Estate Team

I left the US Air Force (99^th Reconnaissance Squadron) in late 1995 after Desert Storm. Since then, I have been originating residential mortgages in Minnesota. I have committed my practice to providing clients very inexpensive rates and costs, while maintaining targeted timelines for my realtors and referral partners. My focus is satisfied clients who return to me with their mortgage financing needs and refer their friends and family to me for the same great service (and low rates)!

Together with my wife, we spend much of our time with our three very active young sons. As one of our sons recently completed treatment for leukemia, we actively support the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and two local organizations, Hopekids and Miracles of Mitch (both support families with kids diagnosed with cancer and life-threatening illnesses). We frequently participate in fundraising events for these organizations.
