John Sorenson

John is a native of the beautiful state of Minnesota. John was born and raised in Apple Valley with over 25+ years of sales experience. The past 8+ years John has been a full-time licensed Realtor matching home buyers with their dream homes, and sellers with their next step. Enthusiastic and grateful to the Twin Cities home sellers & buyers he serves, John actively network with leaders in the industry so I can personally provide clients with resources and fresh local neighborhood information including market trends. John’s resources improve his client’s experience. John entered the industry because of the unlimited potential to better serve his community, meet different people, and make a living. John knew if he applied a strong work ethic based on deep preparation and determination his confidence and knowledge would grow making it possible for him to make a real difference in someone’s life - John don’t know how to describe the feeling he get when he said the words “congratulations, the home is yours”. John is honored to be invited into so many diverse lives and homes. It has been a pleasure to help so many facilitate their dreams - there is nothing like seeing the positive change a new home and move can bring to someone. John loves to be a part of what, for some is one of the most important experiences in their life. Because he takes feedback seriously, he continues to hone his abilities and change. It is always easier when you encounter others who have common goals to help the client and the industry. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, so John has dedicated his self to the Clients First Philosophy. One of my expertise being the local market means he can introduce his clients to homes that meet their criteria and notify them immediately of new listings that meet their needs and goals, but most importantly it means John is with them every step of the way. John will do everything he can to turn a negative situation around and provide alternatives for those that have been disregarded. John finds it rewarding to find exceptions when people have been turned away. When it comes to new clients, John establishes initial contact and discuss their real estate needs and provide market conditions. John put together property itineraries for his clients which can include numerous showings in a short period of time. Scheduling these tours requires a delicate balance that takes into consideration geography and logistics against an unknown time constraints that sellers may impose even after you schedule - John does his best to find a way to make it happen for his client’s schedule. Negotiating offers may not happen quickly, in fact some go on for days, but once an offer gets accepted and the property goes under contract, and he manages the sale. This is where oversight is of extreme importance. John does his absolute best to make sure everyone involved in the process is doing their job. It is particularly important that both sides of the transaction, those on the buyer side and those on the seller side are fulfilling their obligations in a timely manner. When a lender is involved, active communication is a must to ensure the loan is on track. John also checks in on the title company to make sure the file is being handled and all details are attended to, this way he can try to address anything that comes up unexpectedly. After years in the business, he was asked to train other real estate agents. Educating new and experienced agents has increased his knowledge of pain points and potential deal breakers. Keeping a positive mental attitude while problem solving and during the occasional crisis, is essential in managing the process. If you are looking for a real estate agent that puts you first, knows the local market, has a system and relationships in place that can handle the real estate process and transaction? John may not be the wealthiest or the most glamorous, but he promises you he will put you first.
