"Rod was consistently professional, thorough and helpful, which is especially important since the seller was a challenge to work with many times. He was very careful to explain options and did not mind repeated requests around various concerns we had. We have already recommended him to someone else, and will continue to recommend him highly to anyone buying or selling in this area."
- Beth Menninga & Chris Leroux
"Rod is the best agent in my personal experience. He is very conscientious, energetic and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend his services."
- Ron Enger
"Rod has a good combination of in-depth market knowledge and a good understanding of physical/structural issues in assessing the value of a particular property. Rod knows how and when to formulate the right offer for a desired property, and, perhaps just as important, when not to make an offer."
- Tony Pellegrin & Amanda Williams
"I have never had a better business relationship than Rod and I developed. He gained my complete trust in an extremely short amount of time, which allowed my wife and I to sell our home very quickly at a great price."
- Corky Hall
"We could not have had a better situation than working with Rod Helm. From the get go he was a help preparing our home for sale and making good use of our time. With his engineering background he had a keen eye for potential problems. Having had a previous difficult situation with a real estate transaction, he renewed our faith in the system. He followed up on every detail. Rod Helm is a friendly, knowledgeable professional. I hope he is still available when we move again."
- Lois Maturi
"Rod's professionalism and timely communications made the transition easier to handle. It started with his business presence and continued through the precise and superior marketing materials. The sales expertise that we experienced by his strategizing the sale of our home brought us a quick offer in one week. He was capable of researching and pinpointing the correct pricing of our Maple Grove Home."
- Saxton & Barbara Weir
"Rod is a great teacher and coach. We were newly married with two homes when we met Rod. He was really helpful with helping us understand our current investments. He helped us with the sale of one of our homes and was outstanding to work with through the entire process."
- Jason & Kati Romanowski
"After working with Rod to sell my home during a very tough market, I won’t consider working with anyone else next time around."
- Mary Merrill
"The quality of information Rod gives, his even-tempered nature, and the character he shows under pressure make him an ideal agent. After selecting him, we established what our buying criteria was and Rod defended our interests to the point of sacrificing is own. There were times when we might of compromised our goals and given him an early transaction, but he cautioned us instead of encouraging us. Writing this now in my new house, I cannot tell you how grateful I am that we were guided in this way."
- Luke Hendricks
"Rod Helm is the type of professional that is all too rare these days. In a word, his real estate representation is “balanced”. Rod balances fact and feel, patience and urgency, big picture and detail, as well as past, present & future considerations and he does so in a very likable, easy-going manner. He is solid."
- Rob & Sue Wheaton
"Rod was a wonderful resource for us. We are living in a terrific house in a wonderful community, all because of Rod’s sound advice."
- Ann & Ben Pratt
"Rod is such an advocate for his clients. I only wish we knew more people buying or selling to refer to him. He is the best. He treats you like he is your only client."
- Melanie Reiland
"Rod is in a class by himself. I have never met a person more committed to ensuring his customers make a quality decision. He takes his role very seriously and his commitment to ethics first is remarkable!"
- D. & J. Lonn
"Rod's knowledge of the housing market in Edina and Southwest Minneapolis was outstanding. We felt like we had an inside track having Rod represent us. Additionally, it was clear throughout the entire process that 'closing a deal' was the last thing in Rod's mind. First and foremost, Rod wanted to ensure he found us the house that was perfect for us. We highly recommend Rod with no reservations!"
- M. & J. Brown Helgeson
"Rod went the extra mile to help me find a property that perfectly fit my parameters for price, location and lifestyle. Without his patience and tenacity, I am convinced I would have compromised on at least two, if not all three, of those important variables. As a seller, I also benefited from Rod's attention to detail and advice. My expectations were exceeded on all accounts."
- K. Munson
"Rod's engineering background has given him an exceptional ability to solve problems in a forthright and systematical way. He cares deeply for his clients, which makes a very difficult time seem painless. I very much appreciate Rod's efforts."
- Bob Lomicka
"As first-time homebuyers, we came to rely heavily on Rod's expertise and advise regarding the market, our expectations, and ultimately the value and condition of the home we purchased."
- Theresa Weber and Tim Murray
"Rod's extensive experience and knowledge of the twin cities real estate market is invaluable. He truly represents his clients in their needs ahead of his with regard to finding them a property that will benefit them long term - we recommend him to everyone we know."
- Melanie Reiland
"Rod made us feel that we were a top priority, even though we were aware of his many other clients. We always felt calm and assured after talking to Rod. He understood our goals, he coached us well, and he instilled confidence at every step."
- Ann Elise Edeburn
"Rod was very receptive to any requests that we had. His personality was a major plus, we felt like he was a good friend looking out for us at all times. We were extremely happy with Rod's follow-ups. After we closed, it was a great comfort to know we could still call him if we had any future problems."
- Dan & Stephanie Sunnarborg
"We have used Rod twice now and could not be happier with his service, level of professionalism, caring and concern. After he sold our house in Minneapolis we moved to California and were shocked to find that other top realtors could not give us any where near the service we received from Rod."
- Janey & John Mason
"We consider Rod a good friend as well as our real estate agent. He has many qualities that put him "a cut above the rest"! He is extremely sincere, respectful, hard working and reliable. He plans his work and works his plan. Rod is our agent for life."
- Thomas & Kristine Burbank
"We simply could not have asked for better service. Rod always made us feel like we were his only clients. Rod pushed the other side when he needed to, but always did so in a professional and reasonable manner. On the tough issues, he wasn't satisfied until we were fully informed and helped us make the right choices, despite the process wearing us down at times."
- Beth & Rob Reiskytl
"Rod is a person of immense integrity. He consistently came through for me, even in emotionally charged situations that were financially to his disadvantage. I have the utmost respect for Rod. Burnet is fortunate to have such a quality person in its employ."
