Whichever you like! You're welcome to pick one and stick to it or switch 'em up. If you're new to they/them pronouns, feel free to use me as practice to get used to them. If you want to avoid explaining pronouns or non-binary identities when talking with friends/family/coworkers about your real estate journey, feel free to use he/him for me.

Sellers in Minnesota are not legally required to disclose hauntings--probably because it's difficult (but not impossible) to prove a haunting in a court of law. 

When time permits, I'll drive up to an hour outside the cities for clients. Let me know where you're looking and when, and we'll see if I've got room in my client list to do a little road tripping!

I'd love to! Co-owning a home with friends is becoming a more and more popular idea, and for good reason. It can be tricky to get all the moving pieces to work in a deal like this, so you'll have to be communicative, tenacious, and open and honest with your co-buyers. Also be aware that if none of you can afford a mortgage on your own, it's possible that you also won't be able to afford one as a group, either. I'm happy to help you figure out if this dream is possible!

Nope! At this point in time, I'm only licensed in Minnesota. 

While anyone with a real estate license can sell commercial real estate, I currently only specialize in residential. I have some colleagues who are great with commercial properties and would be happy to refer you to them!

If you're seriously looking for a funky mansion, yes! If you're just curious and want to snoop around a funky mansion...honestly, SAME, but no. I don't generally take non-clients on "just for fun" tours, out of respect for the sellers. 

If you're buying a home, 99% of the time the answer is no--I get my commission from the sellers' side. If you're selling a home, yes--I'll negotiate a commission to split with whoever brings us a buyer.

Yeah, probably.

My clients! I love my colleagues and am an incorrigible house snoop, but the clients are the best part of my job by far. This job introduces me to so many wonderful, kind, funny, fascinating people and lets me support them through a major life event. It's an honor and a genuine pleasure.

Reach out via my contact form or email me directly at theo@ermetro.com, and we'll arrange a Zoom meetup to talk about your situation and goals, answer your questions, and see if I'm the right fit for you!
