“My wife and I had Gretchen from Team Edelstein help us find and purchase our house on the greater East Side back in 2006. When it came time to sell this house in June of 2017, she was our first choice. Gretchen, as always, was a pleasure to work with. She made the whole process go smoother than I ever could have imagined. She is very knowledgeable, very responsive, and very thorough! The entire team did a great job marketing our house. From the professional pictures to the well written descriptions and captions, not to mention the awesome marketing materials and packets they put together. I honestly could not have been happier with the entire process. The best part is that we had three offers within 5 days and closed within a month for our full asking price (which was actually $5,000 more than the original estimate of proceeds). Overall I’m extremely satisfied and would not hesitate to use Gretchen and Team Edelstein again in the future. Thanks for the great experience!”

“Gretchen helped me find a home with a short period of time to work with and tough marketplace (places were going as fast as the listing agent put the listing on the market with multiple offers). With my short timeline she was willing to work with me every step of the way, carving out most her evenings and weekends to show me places. After showing me over 50 places and 5 offers later, we found my new home. She worked feverously with the selling agent to get my offer accepted. I will forever be grateful for all the hard work she put in, driving around to so many places and putting together a total of 6 offers.”

“Gretchen was essential to our process in buying a house this past January. We were on an extremely short timeline and she was able to get us into all the showings we requested in one day. She is so knowledgeable about the quirks of the Saint Paul housing market. She could help explain things every step of the way and weighing pros and cons of each of our choices. If you are buying a house in Mac Groveland or Highland Park...she is the right person to have by your side. And she's such a nice person, too! We were lucky to have her.”

“Gretchen was a delight to work with in selling a home going through a probate administration. I found her to be exceptionally competent and was of tremendous assistance in recommending the necessary service and trades providers to prepare the home for market. Gretchen is attentive to detail and earnest in her work I would recommend her to all without hesitation. She is a fine realtor and a fine person.”

— Bradley K.

“Gretchen helped me purchase my townhome with a very short timeline and tough market place (homes where going as fast as the listing agent put in on the market, with multiple offers too). She stuck with me every step of the way, carving out week nights and weekends just for me. She worked feverishly with the selling agent on my townhome (we had seen over 50 places and put in 5 offers on 5 different places, before the 6th offer was accepted). I will forever be grateful for all the help and time she put in getting me a home.”

“Gretchen Doerfler helped us find our home sweet home. If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have found or successfully negotiated for our home in such a competitive market! She is amazing and so knowledgeable at what she does. It's obvious she takes great pride in finding people their dream home. We will be forever grateful that she helped us find ours!”

— Kelly S.

“Love Gretchen. She was the best. She is very understanding and was willing to work with us through everything. She showed us whatever house we wanted to see. She helped us when buying our house when we had issues with the sellers. She dealt with all the extra people we had with us like a champ. She was delightful. love love love her.”

— Bridgette M.

“We absolutely loved working with Gretchen Doerfler, as part of Team Edelstein, to sell our first home and buy our second one! She was so personable and knowledgeable, and she made the entire process very stress-free for us. We highly recommend her as a realtor!!”

— Bethany L.

“Gretchen was knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful while we were in the process of selling our home in St. Paul. She returned my phone calls and emails promptly. I was impressed with her willingness to offer any help along the way. Currently living in another state, Gretchen made the process go smoothly without having to make additional trips to the cities. Gretchen went above and beyond and with her expertise, our house sold in no time!”

— Janey M.

“Gretchen Doerfler helped us find the lot we were looking for and build our dream home! She attended meetings with our builder, gave design advice, and negotiated with the builder to our benefit. She is professional, very knowledgeable and maintains good communication. I would highly recommend her!”

“I've worked with Gretchen Doerfler many times over the years and recommended to many friends, she never ceases to amaze me. She is brutally honest (in a kind way) and won't sugarcoat if you've found a crappy house. She is very knowledgeable; during my first home purchase she noted every item that the inspector later found as an issue so I felt very prepared to receive the information, no surprises. Reaching a decision to purchase a home can still be nerve wracking because you never know what the future holds but I always feel safe in Gretchen's hands and trust she always has my best interest at heart.”

— Jennifer G.

“Gretchen is simply amazing! She sold my parents' house as well as my grandparents' cabin after they had had bad luck with a different agent. She is so knowledgeable, very responsive, and willing and ready to negotiate on her client's behalf. I would trust no one else when buying or selling a home!”
