“Arne and his team came to our house buying rescue this summer. After weeks of using an unresponsive and "so-so" relator (from a big name company), a twitter posting of a cute little Bungalow in Longfellow cued my husband to set up a meeting with Arne at Bauhaus Brewlabs. We fell in love with Arne's charisma, eagerness to help, and all around positive attitude, immediately! We were hooked! Arne is the hardest working person I know. For weeks he showed me 3-5 houses a day (and weekends) and booked showings immediately after receiving my crazy late night emails, full of house listings. He's kind and practical - has a long standing professional background in refurbishing floors, remodeling, and appraisals. The team at Johansson Realty works smart and hard. They'll be your house buying Sherpa. Go with Arne! Trust me. He will find you a home (of value and in an amazing neighborhood) and you'll make new friends in the process. We love you guys! Sorry this review is being put up so late. We give you an infinite amount of stars, forever! ”

“Arne is a realtor rock star! Arne and his team helped me both sell my former home and buy my current home this summer. I was really impressed with his knowledge of the local market and his community connections. I believe Arne has a genuine love and passion for real estate and his energy is really admirable! He was always available in some form; phone, text e-mail, etc., so questions and concerns were quickly addressed. I also felt that Arne had a great ear and really wanted to make sure outcomes were favorable. It didn't seem about just making a sale to him, but really ensuring that the customer was satisfied with the end result. I would highly recommend Arne and his team!”

zuser20150528195542556
“We had an overwhelmingly positive experience working with Arne. He met all of our needs and responded with consistent promptness, all while easing our anxiety level at every turn. I never felt pressured, ignorant, or judged, which was really important to me since this was my first time buying or selling a house and I went in feeling really clueless. I can't imagine how anything could have gone smoother, nor can I imagine being any happier with the house we bought! Arne and his team get my highest endorsement.”

They understood what we were looking for in an investment home from location to price and were a pleasure to work with every step of the way. They were thorough, knowledgeable and attentive. Our schedules only allowed us to see homes at certain times and Arne and his team fully accommodated us to make sure we could see homes when needed.”

“John was very professional and knowledgeable in accordance with the house he showed me and my family in Brooklyn Center, MN. Even though there were some immediate concerns regarding quality of dry wall and installation, he made sure they were dependable materials and if for some reason they were not, he would replace them immediately. The showing was excellent and I would certainly recommend John for anyone looking for a house.”

“I just want to say that my experience with Johansson Realty was nothing less than stellar. Working with Lyle, Arne, John, and Megan has been a total breeze from start to finish. Even in a total sellers market, with the work that our realty team put in, we have been able to have an offer accepted on a fantastic place that my partner and I loved and very much wanted without stretching us to the limit. They are a hard-working bunch at Johansson Realty, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a home of their own in the future. No matter how discouraging it can be at times to find the perfect place for yourself or your family, there is no fear of missing out on your dream when you work with a group like this.”

“Arne was so helpful with our drawn out contingent purchase offer on our new condo. He communicated with the buyers and buyers agent in order to extend our expiring contingent offer an additional 2 months. We finally had the first domino fall when my fiancée secured a renter for her house in Chicago, and from there on things moved rapidly to a successful and efficient closing. Arne, Megan and the team did am great job on our behalf to get us into the property we wanted. My fiancée and I would highly recommend Arne and his team to find for you the right property at the right price, and assist in getting to yes on the deal. Closed March 10, 2015.”
Tim
“Arne is a true professional. He really worked with me to listen to my needs, and help me search out homes in several different areas to explore what was available at my price point. When I was interested in a property he moved fast to set up same day visits, and worked quickly to get my offers into the sellers. His knowledge of the area real estate market, pricing, and negotiation saved me time and money. I cant recommend him highly enough.”

I have confidence that he would be able to find the right at the right price for me.”

I ending up finding a house I like, in my price range, in a neighborhood I enjoy and I ended up paying less for it than what I was willing to pay.

Dave
“Arne Johansson and Megan Warner, his office manager, are the most responsive and helpful realtors with whom I have worked in over 45 years of buying and selling property. Within 10 minutes of my placing a request on-line, Arne contacted me to help. Within 48 hours Arne had arranged visits to 13 condos. He did a market analysis of the condos in the two buildings in which we were interested, he talked with the realtor representing the condo owner of the unit we bought. At my request he compressed the time between the offer/counter offer and final agreement into two days. He and Megan followed up with information after my offer was accepted, almost instantly and often after business hours. They met my daughter at the condo to present her with a key and a bottle of wine after closing. I highly recommend Arne Johansson.”
zuser20141110182152770

“It was a pleasure to work with Arne Johansson and his team. I would highly recommend Johansson Realty to anyone looking to purchase a home. Arne was supportive, patient and flexible during our search. We ended up pursuing a short sale that lasted over six months. He kept in constant contact with the sellers realtor and bank, which I am sure, was daily for some of the time. He kept us in the loop the entire time and was responsive and patient with our concerns. During this waiting time Arne would continue to help us look for homes and set up showings. Thank you for all of your help, we are very happy to be settled into our new home!”
user6317289

“Arne was very helpful, and patient with me when going through the process of looking at homes. This is my first home, so I needed as much help as possible and had a lot of questions. I am happy to say he answered every single one of them at any time of the day, it was nice to get my questions answered as soon as possible instead of days later. I was sure I wanted something in the south Minneapolis area, but wasnt quite sure what was best. Arne presented me with clear and accurate information about the area that helped me narrow my options. He guided me through the whole process and made it seem easy!”

Further he was easy to reach by phone and text at all times of day. Arne also has an extensive network of contacts with local expertise in financing, insurance, appraisal, inspection, etc. All of the people we ended up working with on Arnes recommendation were professional, efficient and willing to answer questions.

Arne always responded to me immediately whenever I had questions. Whether it be through a phone call, text, or email, he was always there when I needed him. Arne is very knowledgeable in the field and helped refer me to a lot of other good resources in the real estate business (mortgage company, lender, home inspector, insurance company, etc.). I highly recommend Arne if you are looking to purchase a home in the metro area. Arne is a genuine person and truly cares about helping the buyer throughout the entire home search and closing process. I never felt pressured by Arne and did not feel like he was trying to lead me into something I was not interested in. He always kept my best interests in mind. I was very impressed! I definitely plan to work with Arne again.”
Jerad

Even when some of the showings were past 8pm. You can really tell he isnt after the commission as he showed us more expensive houses in areas that werent the best.

We couldnt think of a better person to work with.”

“Arnes responsiveness was amazing. I dont think we ever waited for a response longer than 45 minutes, and more often then not Arnes response was almost immediate. I was worried about finding an agent who would be dedicated to our needs because were not looking to spend a crazy amount of money on a house. Arne treated us like we were buying a million dollar house. Although were now taking some time off from the house searching process, we look forward to working with Arne in the future.”
user2637034
“Agents today can be hit or miss. Its a hit with Arne, he provides professional service but at the same time provides a relaxed atmosphere. He listens but also isnt afraid to give his ideas and input which is valuable. Real Estate can be tricky and in a lot of cases a person doesnt even consider certain things. Thats where having an agent who isnt afraid to speak up a bit and offer insight and ideas is valuable.”

Consistently looking out for your best interest as his client, he puts his extensive knowledge in the real estate profession to your best benefit. I couldnt look elsewhere for a better experience overall.”

“Working with Arne I could tell right away that he has extensive retail knowledge. He always gave helpful and good advice and knew which direction to take. He has great experience on remodels and it really shows. He showed me houses he was working on.”
David
“I contacted Arne through Zillow about a specific house and he got back to me almost immediately. He scheduled 2 showings just the next day! Although we ended up not needing a realtor due to a private off market sale that we ended up going with, we would have been happy to continue on our house hunt with Arne. Thanks Arne!”

“I recently purchased my first home with Arne as the realtor. To say he is good at his job is an serious understatement. He works around the clock ( Ive sent him emails at 10pm and hes responded within 10minutes). And he is not only knowledgeable about the property you wish to buy- but surrounding properties in the area, and he is willing to haggle with sellers to get you the best price for your budget. Plus I was able to buy my house in less than a month. I can honestly say that this wont be the last property I buy with Arne!!! Hes amazing!!!”

“Ive had the opportunity to discuss at length the real estate market of Minneapolis/St. Paul and surrounding areas with Arne and his knowledge was extensive. Hes helped several friends of mine buy homes and their experiences with Arne have been top notch.”

“Arne seems to know everything about houses! He answered all of my questions and beyond. I can tell he actually loves what he does and he loves architecture and even the history of homes. He was very polite and pleasant to deal with, not pushy.He even showed me older homes he himself refurbished! I was also impressed with his skills at sanding wood floors. I would definitely use him again.”

“Arne is one of those individuals you run into and you get the sense early on in the relationship that he is in this business because he genuinely loves the industry and loves helping people achieve their dreams. I have witnessed first-hand the passion in his eyes and smile when he interacts with friends, clients and colleagues in the industry when discussing the local retail market. He knows this local market better than anyone I have met and he brings not only a real estate expertise to his work, but he knows what makes a house a home because he has done it with his own two hands. I have seen Arne identify the opportunities and possibilities and turn them into realities countless times. Thats why he has my highest recommendation.”
Hank
“He is THE go to man in real estate. I wouldnt consider anyone but Arne when it comes to real estate !!! His local knowledge was outstanding always on time always polite very professional!”
Wittsack
“Working with Arne was a great experience. Not only is Arne incredibly knowledgeable, but he is also brutally honest. He will find and point out the faults in a house that a wide-eyed buyer might otherwise overlook. Arne never tried to talk or pressure me into buying a house; in fact, he talked me out of buying a couple because he knew that they were not a good deal. He was 100% correct. Experience, knowledge, honesty, and integrity are the most important qualities in a relator and these are the qualities that Arne has in spades. I would highly recommend him to someone looking for a relator.”

“While we were not fortunate enough to work with Arne at the time we purchased our home, five years later he was a valuable asset when we were considering whether or not to put our house on the market. While many other realators would have seen our interest to put our house on the market as an opportunity to make a buck, Arne truly had our best interest in mind when he encouraged us to just wait. Arne understands the market, and knows what people look for when buying homes. Arne is passionate about the real estate industry, knows the ins-and-outs of the business and is able to really understand his clients needs. Arne is up front, down to earth, honest, and super energetic! You wont be disappointed if you choose to work with Arne with any real estate ventures.”

“The dedication and commitment Arne applies to his work is unmatched. He is a top notch realtor with experience youre unlikely to find anywhere else. His knowledge of the real estate market combined with his extensive passion for the structure, pattern language and potential of homes makes him a professional anyone would be lucky to work with. His down to earth demeanor makes the process of selecting a home that much more achievable and enjoyable. With Arne, there is absolutely no doubt that youre in good hands.”
Megan
“Arne helped me think through timing, location and type of house to buy (rehab versus already updated). He provided great advice and options and there was no pressure to buy. In fact, based on his advice, we ended up deciding to wait and continue to save for awhile. That kind of advice made us feel like Arne was really looking out for our best interests rather than just trying to turn a sale. Arne has been in the housing business his whole life and it shows in his insider-scoop approach. We would recommend him!! Since we havent bought yet, we cannot speak to the negotiation part, but have full confidence in Arnes ability to represent us in that capacity when we do buy.”

“We owe Arne a huge thank you for helping us find our first home. He brought his experience renovating homes and helped us see potential issues that we would have never considered. We relied on him heavily for advice and cost estimates for fixing things in potential homes, as well as leveraging his knowledge of our desired neighborhood. After subjecting him to a long search, we finally found a great home in Minneapolis.”
Nick
“Arne is highly motivated and very helpful. Has a wide variety of market knowledge and experience and would be useful to home-buyers & investors alike. Also has knowledge of the Minneapolis area rental market. He really enjoys everything real estate & it shows. Willing to work outside of normal hours to get offers in.”
Alex
“I have known Arne for a few years and have found him to be very knowledgeable in the real estate business. He has lots of skills when it comes to construction and knows how much work a house would need to get it to look the way you want it. It is very hard to find a realtor that knows construction like the back on his hand. I know he was personally rehabbed many properties. You get a great realtor and a construction expert.”
Hugh
“Arne is a consummate professional with a concise knowledge of the industry. From the time we contacted him initially asking him to be our buying agent to the day we closed, we were never left in the dark We were always kept updated and we felt he went out his way to make sure we were comfortable and getting the best deal. Arne is a top negotiator that made sure we got the price we wanted on our new home! He works with a great team including Justin and Megan, all of whom we trust implicitly. Buying and selling a home can be so stressful, but we never felt anything but trusting in the process while Arne guided us. Without a doubt, Arne is THE GUY to use in the Twin Cities from small to huge transactions. He is the man to trust!”
