Client Testimonials

We moved from one state to another which can lead to a host of added stresses when relocating. Heidi met with us via zoom early in the process and kept in constant communication via text/phone/email to help us identify properties and neighborhoods in preparation for our flights in to look at homes/condos. We appreciated the time she took to help us identify our wants/needs and work through the various neighborhoods and residences as we got closer to our move. Heidi was our best advocate throughout the entire process. She cross checked documents and made sure that any errors on the seller end were corrected so that we had a smooth closing. We highly recommend Heidi Swanson. She is TOP NOTCH!

— Lisa & Bruce
Heidi helped us buy our first home this spring (April 2023) and was absolutely incredible! She made the process feel easy and explained everything so well to us. As new home buyers, Heidi made us feel welcome to ask any question - no matter how simple. We were buying from out of state, and she was extremely flexible and communicative so we could easily last minute plan a trip to Minneapolis/St. Paul to look at homes. She also gave us wonderful virtual tours so we felt comfortable enough to buy sight unseen. The home we purchased was built in 1908, and it was great having Heidi’s old home expertise to make us feel comfortable buying such an old house. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Heidi enough as your next realtor!
— Christine & Jon
Thanks to Heidi my house sold over asking price the first day it was listed. Heidi’s expertise made her easy to work with. She was always available and punctual, she had good answers to all my questions and was involved in my sale every step of the way. I was happy with her suggestions about decluttering and glad she did not demand staging with pieces brought in from outside. She hired a terrific photographer and coordinated all showings, including her own open house. She helped me with all the documents, arranged for the title company to do its thing, and did all this with a great deal of patience and always in a good mood. I am very glad I chose her over plenty of competition and recommend her warmly to anyone selling a house.

Heidi is an experienced realtor, and is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of preparing and selling a house. With her expertise we were able to accurately price our home and sell it quickly. She is quick to respond to questions and has access to excellent resources to make sure your sale will go through without any hiccups, even if you need to replace a furnace during a heatwave.
— Matt
Heidi is a very knowledgeable realtor and very familiar with the St. Paul area, especially older homes. Offered great recommendations for other home professionals from inspectors, plumbing, electrical and photography. She remembers everything and all forms are signed online which makes the process quick and simple. It always seemed that she had our best interests in mind. I highly recommend her for selling your home and for buying your next!
— Deb
Heidi, thank you so much for helping us find our first home. You taught us SO much and helped us feel really confident throughout the process. Now that we’re moved in, we talk all the time about what we learned from you! Thank you for hearing what we wanted, guiding us gently through the process, and making everything easier! 

We want all of our friends to start buying houses so they can experience having you as their realtor! We’ll recommend you to everyone we know.
— Kelsey & Tim
Working with Heidi was so awesome. It was not just fun, but she was hyper aware of all the issues we didn’t always know to look out for, as first time home buyers. I would give 11 stars if I could. GREAT experience!!

— Heather & Bryan
As a first time home buyer (female and single), Heidi was able to answer questions I didn’t even know I should be asking. She was able to get showings very quickly and pointed out issues about older homes that I didn’t know about so that I could gauge whether I could take on certain home maintenances on a regular basis. She even called me when she was out of the country to check-in on my purchase as the process had its ups and downs due to a low appraisal. Great experience - highly recommend!
— Jessica
I met Heidi at an open house of hers that I visited prior to my official home search, she emailed me when that house sold with similar listings. I loved that she remembered my tastes and preferences and that she reached out to me with updates. Heidi did an amazing job helping me find the perfect house. She kept my spirits up when multiple offers of mine weren’t accepted and was ready to throw in the towel. She is extremely responsive and was available whenever I needed her. I plan to have her as my agent whenever necessary and would recommend her to everyone!
— Aleah
After several years of going to open houses to look for a good realtor, I found Heidi. A short while thereafter, I found and bought my first home. The process of buying a home, to say the very least, is an emotional roller-coaster. Heidi was always very respectful and understanding of that fact. She worked hard for me and was always available to me. When I ask her for recommendations on reputable local plumbers, inspectors, chimney sweeps, etc.—she always knew who is the best and most ethical. As a single person buying a home, I often get “attitude”...as if only married people are okay to buy homes (only half of the population). I never once got even a hint of that attitude from Heidi. As a perfectionist, it’s hard for me to give a 5-star review. But I can’t say enough good things about Heidi. She is an exceptional realtor.

Heidi was a pleasure to work with. She knows St. Paul which was very helpful in selling my condominium. I was selling from a distance, and she kept me informed about inquiries and open houses. She staged it beautifully and made the process easy from start to finish. I would highly recommend Heidi.
— Janet
We met Heidi by chance at an open house we attended, liked her right away and asked if she’d work with us. We were particularly impressed with her ties to and knowledge of the St. Paul neighborhoods that we were interested in. We were extremely happy with the work she did for us. We found a house and made an offer, and then the harder part came: listing and selling our condo. We had a beautiful condo to sell, but we understood that the condo market is softer than the single-family house market. But Heidi worked really hard, marketing and holding multiple open houses. She sold our condo in a fraction of the average market time for condos. She was also there at every step of the way, patiently and knowledgeably answering our many questions about both the sale and purchase. She has great contacts, is very knowledgeable, is very professional, but also very personal and kind. We highly recommend Heidi Swanson.

Heidi helped me sell my lovely old house (c 1894) in the Hamline-Midway area. She was FANTASTIC in dealing with me as a first-time home seller (as I’m sure she would also be with a first-time homebuyer... or ANY buyer/seller). Her patience and professionalism was outstanding, not to mention calming! Heidi’s enthusiasm for what she does was palpable in all of our interactions. Her recommendations for staging and prepping the house for sale were both extremely helpful and practical. Because she’s a long-time Saint Paul resident, I also felt much more comfortable with her running the Open House, since she could truly talk about the joys/restaurants/schools/events of the city from a knowledgeable perspective. I’m REALLY not sure how I would have done it without her.
— Leigh
You were always available and gave me sound advice, not to mention many laughs. You were great to work with and I deeply appreciate your patience with the many convolutions of this journey. I’m glad you could help me navigate through all of them...from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
— Andy
Heidi was great to work with through the whole process of selling my home. She was very attentive to my needs and always available to answer any questions I had. I was in a unique situation, because of my travel schedule, and Heidi was always available to take care of stuff at the property while I was on the road. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Extremely professional and very knowledgeable.
— Jamie
Heidi Swanson was a pleasure to work with through the process of marketing my house and purchasing a condo. Heidi educated me as a seller and buyer. She guided me through the real estate process from preparing to market my house to the sale, and from making an offer on a condo to closing.

Heidi understood my needs and preferences for a new home. The anxiety of transitioning from house to condo was manageable because of Heidi’s knowledge and compassion.

Problems are to be expected in the sale and purchase of homes, but a good agent can help in climbing the hurdles and navigating the roadblocks so you end up where you want to be. That’s what Heidi did!
— Cecilia
Heidi represented us as buyers and did a wonderful job. Being first time home buyers, Heidi did an excellent job explaining the home buying process to us. She was very patient with us throughout our year long home search. Buying a home in this very hot market required us to make fast decisions. Heidi made herself available at a moment’s notice. We are very grateful for the time and effort she dedicated to us. We strongly recommend Heidi!
— JoAnn & Tony
Heidi helped me find my first home, my dream home. She was able to guide me through a rather complicated and intimidating process in a smooth and confident way. She will be my realtor for any future sales or purchases and I would recommend her glowingly to anyone looking for a realtor!
— Michelle
Heidi was a fantastic agent to work with! It was the first time selling a home on my own. She was thorough, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. My house needed quite a bit of work before I was able to sell and Heidi guided me every step of the way. She took amazing pictures of my house also! I absolutely would recommend her to anyone buying or selling their home!
— Kristi
Heidi is a wonderful and committed real estate agent. As a longtime resident of St. Paul, she has extensive knowledge of schools, restaurants and things to do in the city. She makes her clients her priority and will make sure all answers and needs are met as she works with buyers and sellers through the real estate process. Heidi is smart and friendly and always looks out for her clients’ best interests! I would highly recommend Heidi as a real estate agent.
