Bryan and Vikki Russell

We have quite a long history with Lyn Bockert. She helped us build a home, sell a home, and buy a home. All of these adventures have been seamless and always in our best interest. When we had a unique home (horse property) to sell with a limited audience, we had to have Lyn hit the right markets promoting them uniquely to get the best results. We consider Lyn a good friend and reliable business partner and would highly recommend her for anyone wanting to buy or sell property. Plus she has a great sense of humor!!

I was out of state during the listing and sale, but Jenny, Lyn and Sheri never forgot about me and that it was a pretty big deal for me. They shared their experience and knowledge and didn't miss a step. I couldn't have asked for more. I feel I made some friends along the way.  Thank you!

The transaction was painless and explained to us in words we could understand.  There wasn’t any unnecessary pressure to do anything we weren’t comfortable with, and we definitely enjoyed working with you and everyone involved. All of our questions answered along the way and we had a lot of them!  As first time home buyers, it is really important that the realtor and other agents have patience with us.  

We were nervous and uncomfortable with the language and the procedures at first, but Lyn really took the time to explain everything that was going on and give us her feedback, professional opinion, and any other advice she had.  She did a great job pointing out pros and cons of houses, and referring us to other sources of information if needed.  Her experience was invaluable to us.  She also kept us well informed of everything that was happening so we didn’t have to worry (too much!).

We enjoyed visiting her office (it was really nice) and everyone we interacted with along the way were friendly and accommodating.  It was nice that Lyn had built great relationships with many essential people in the field – we felt that we could trust her and the people she trusted and they did not disappoint!  I would go as far as to say that our expectations were exceeded in every way. We wouldn’t hesitate to refer Lyn to other people, and to use her and Keller Williams again in any future housing needs.

Family home for 55 years!

 Just want to thank you again for your wonderful assistance in selling our family home. You were unbelievable in your devotion to detail and hard work and willingness to do whatever jobs were needed to move the process along. In the end I don't think the sale could have gone any smoother.  I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Twin Cities. Have a great rest of the summer.

As a first-time homebuyer, Lyn's experience was invaluable to me. She was very patient answering all my questions, and her knowledge about remodeling projects was great. If something needed fixing at one of the houses we visited, Lyn could tell me about how much it would cost to make those repairs. Lyn was so dedicated that when it started downpouring on our first house visit, she still took me to see the other five houses we had planned to see that day! I didn't feel any pressure to buy a certain house or look at a certain price range. Lyn was professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with. I'm grateful for her help in finding my first home!

David and Amy Wells

Lyn,

What can we say other than a huge thank you for helping us find our wonderful home.  Jeez, seriously....how many houses did we actually look at?!!  I still remember my phone call to you outside of my work when I was in absolute tears... wondering if I would ever not feel sad.  You were right, I'm not sad..  Only the day we pulled out of the driveway.  Now, everything is great.  We absolutely love it here.  As we get down to our last boxes, we'd love to have you over.  Thank you for everything.

Your friends,
Amy, Dave and Indy




Jason and Jessica Carr

We have nothing but positive things to say about Lyn, John, Linda and the whole team involved in this process!  What a wonderful experience!
 
 As first time home buyers, we thank our lucky stars we were referred to Lyn.  She served as our champion throughout the buying process, reminding us of better things to come if something didn't quite work out as expected and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the road was as smooth and stressfree as possible!  She exhibited the utmost professionalism, patience and understanding as we asked endless questions.  She was with us every step of the way, always open and positive, guiding us toward our perfect home.  In the end, every twist and turn led us right to where we belong -- in a better house than we ever thought we would/could have within OUR budget.  Her years of experience with houses over the years and the plentiful number of contacts in the community have been extremely appreciated!  I can't imagine going through this process without her!  I would strongly suggest ANYONE, whether a first timer or many time home buyer, not venture down the path of buying a house without Lyn in their corner!  Our kids are so happy to be in the house, but they're definitely going to miss our visits with the "house lady!"  ;-)
 

Thank you,  
Jason, Jessica, Alex & Zack Carr


 
 

John and Barb Lewis

From beginning to end, we felt extremely fortunate to have Lyn and her team working for us. In a tough market, and a property that required a specific type of buyer, the Bockert team covered all the bases with professional advice, marketing and photographs to find the perfect buyers for our place. Lyn sat down with us when we decided to list our property and walked us through step by step. She arrived prepared with research of comparable listings and sales in our area and also helped us decide what touch-ups would make our place most appealing. During the selling process she provided regular communication and kept us up to date on the market.  We had frequent showings due to the Bockert team marketing. When it came time for sealing the deal, Lyn was a breeze to work with.  Her wealth of knowledge in the industry was invaluable and we highly recommend Lyn to anyone interested in selling their property. Thank you again!!

Tim and Debbie Kaspar


Tim and Debbie sold their home in S. Maplewood!


...and found a new beautiful townhome in Andover!
 
First of all, we have to thank our buyers, Tom and Ann Crist for buying our beautiful South Maplewood home. Without them, none of this would have happened. We hope they are enjoying their new home. We already miss our wonderful neighbors/neighborhood!
 
Next, we can't say enough about Lyn Bockert's extremely high level of professionalism throughout our entire selling and buying process. Your experience , calm demeanor and range of resources were invaluable. We truly felt we were partners with you in this journey, bouncing ideas off each other and reaching conclusions all along the way. Lyn, we can't thank you enough.
 
Of course, it takes a team to get things done, and the picture wouldn't be complete without raising up her team, starting with Jenny Knudsen of Keller Williams. Always thorough, staying on top of updating numerous marketing venues from web sites to brochures to scheduling open houses. And, as if doing that wasn't enough, Jenny was always so upbeat and encouraging to us along the way. Thank you Jenny.

We all know the deal is never really done until things are finalized at closing. What an extraordinarily terrific experience in working with Linda Warn of Partners Title. Linda is definitely on top of her game. Many years of experience, attention to detail, scheduling flexibility (back to back closings!), timely delivery of documents to review in advance, very personable yet focused - all in one package. Amazing. Thank you Linda.
 
Our Andover townhouse wouldn't be reality without the highly professional yet very warm, friendly touch brought to the financing process by John Flynn of Alerus Mortgage. All of your years of experience helped us sail through, although we should have thought of some sort of golf reference to use instead of sailing! Thank you John.
 
You might ask: how did the Crists first become aware of our house being on the market? They were out for a drive and happened to notice the Open House street signs, so many, many thanks are in order for Tony Albanito. And if Tony hadn't built our Maplewood house so well over nine years ago, it might still be on the market. Thanks Tony.
 
All in all, Debbie and I highly recommend Lyn Bockert, Realtor extraordinaire, and her entire team!
 


Terri Clarke

Working with Lyn was a pleasure, she is aware of the current market, and knew what we needed to do to get my house sold. I would recommend her to any one wanting to sell their home.

Bill and Sara Trautz

Lyn and her team sold our townhome in just six weeks in this tough market. She priced it right and developed an effective marketing plan and strategy. The brochures, websites and pictures showed our home to the best advantage. We were kept informed of the results of showings and open houses. This couldn't have been a better experience. Thank you, Lyn! 



Bob and Deb Fjetland

We greatly appreciate the effort that Lyn went to on our behalf.

Bob and Deb




Dave, Shelli, Ava and Lydia Wilk

We felt that Lyn carefully listened to the needs and wish list of everyone in our family as we searched for a new home and planned the sale of our existing home, which sold in less than two weeks!

I would highly recommend Lyn to anyone as a South Maplewood/Woodbury expert with a tested marketing plan, great connections in the industry, and a top notch team of professionals. Lyn was very responsive to us throughout the home buying process. She got the job done well and we all had fun at the same time!

Jerry and Mary Ann Hoffman


Jerry and Mary Ann are Happy that Lyn Sold Their Home!

We always got candid assessments and advice from Lyn. She knew how our property should be presented and priced to sell in a tough market.  We were kept well advised throughout the entire process. Lyn and her staff are excellent communicators and kept in regular contact with us. We always knew that we had the best in the business representing us.

Lyn has helped us with several real estate transactions and she is the first person we think of when we or others in our family need professional real estate services.

Anna D.

Lyn, I think of you often and how you helped me in getting this home and making it possible. I just love you. Twenty years ago i I was a single woman without much money, you told me what to do and how to go about getting my home. Thank you!

Anna D.

Regina Magnum



Lyn is the utmost in professionalism. She kept us informed at every step and consulted with us on a weekly basis. Lyn treated us and our home with respect and courtesy. She was always quick to respond to our every question. 

What we liked best about the sales process was the marketing plan. There were beautiful photos and a video of our home on the internet and constant marketing to various groups that might be interested in our home.

Also, we appreciated Lyn's honesty and frankness. She was direct about everything, which made such a complicated process very clear.

We also liked the peace of mind. We had to move out of the state and were worried about keeping the house in good condition. Lyn took care of our home and we didn't have to worry about a thing.

I would absolutely recommend Lyn to my friends.
Without a doubt, she is the hardest working agent in Minnesota!

Chad Meyer




I moved in right after we closed.  The house is great and really quiet.  I’m not really used to the quiet but it makes sleeping easier. Thank you so much for all the work you did to get me into my first home.

Scott and Erin Hartman


Scott and Erin's First Dream Home

As a first time home buyer, I was not overly familiar with the housing market or home buying process. Lyn was extremely helpful throughout the process, from helping me better target my search to negotiating a favorable deal. After closing on a house, Lyn and her team also helped me set up my utilities and arrange for other home-related services. Lyn's market knowledge and customer service are second to none, and I highly recommend her services.

Scott Hartman

John Flynn




As a mortgage loan professional I have worked with many realtors over the last 25 years. Lyn is one of the most knowledgeable in both the existing and new construction markets. This results in her clients, both on the selling side and buy side, obtain the best deal.

Lora Hedin


Lora's home sold in just 18 days!

Lyn has been extremely helpful and diligent in both selling and buying homes on my behalf.
Next time I have to sell, I would not hesitate to utilize Lyn's services. She did a great job!

Jack and Arlie Crowe


Lyn succeeded selling Jack & Arlie's home where other agents failed

Lyn's team did a great job of marketing and selling our house and in helping us find a new home! The pictures that were used in brochures and on various web sites were outstanding. Showing and open house feedback was always provided as promised and open houses were conducted frequently. Her extensive experience and expertise are definite factors in making her stand out among the competition.

Lyn got Yumi a great deal on her new home!

 

Lyn, Thank you very much for working for me and for being patient with me. You found the house which matched almost all criteria I requested and made the price my requested budget!! As Jeff told me before, you are a really tough negotiator and an excellent realtor. It would be tough to be against you! I was lucky to be working with you.

Connie and Greg

          
  Connie and Greg had outgrown the home they built....                            and found a new home with less yardwork!

 

Lyn was instrumental in the buying and selling of our last two homes. 15 years ago our home sold in two weeks so Lyn helped us find housing until our new home was ready for occupancy. 2 years ago Lyn helped us purchase a new home, sold our existing home in three weeks, and made it possible to close on both homes the same day. Lyn knows the market, she's terrific at helping stage a home for the best showings, she can get a buyer or seller motivated and is persuasive in getting a decision made. Her financing skills are top notch and she enjoys working with all levels of buying and selling. She makes sure she's available for questions and always communicates the progress of her marketing. Lyn loves real estate and this passion shows in her commitment and knowledge. She is also very successful in recruiting a strong team to help her with the buying and selling of your home.

We say "Thank you Lyn".
Connie


Linda Warn

  

I have known Lyn for 28 years and she has helped me with several of my real estate sales and purchases. In addition, I have done her closings for many years. Lyn works tirelessly for her customers. She is very thorough and protects her customers' interests. Lyn has a vast knowledge of the real estate industry and keeps up to date on any changes, which is invaluable in today's changing marketplace. I would certainly recommend Lyn Bockert to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home as she will give you 110% of her energies and make sure her client has a pleasant and stress-free transaction.
