We could not have asked for a better realtor experience. Everyone involved was kind, competent, and provided expert counsel - from Diane’s staging advice, to Katie’s online marketing, to Joey’s expertise in all things buying and selling homes. We are so grateful.

Joe and Voila are awesome!!! The work we had to do to prepare our house, was the same as any other realtor...house sold in 36 hours as it was prepped. Big difference between Voila and traditional realtors, we saved almost $50k in commissions by going with Voila!!! That is OUR $$$, and Voila's model, allows you to keep YOUR $$$!!!!

Thanks Joey and Team!!!

Voila was amazing at helping me find a home! Joey Torklidson and his team were very responsive to my questions, got me into showings very quickly, and when it came time to put in a bid they walked me through the process, strategy, and options. I've worked with other agents in the past, but I'm only going to recommend Voila from now on! From my first contact with Voila to having a successful bid was less than one month. It's that easy.

I'll admit, we were not planning to use a realtor, but life got crazy. We heard about Voila from a friend and loved the flat fee for the listing agent and allowing the seller to set the buyer agent commission!
We met with Joey and his energy, honesty and flexibility convinced us, he was our guy! Joey and Katie were quick to respond to our many questions, flexible in meeting with us at odd times while we travelled internationally and provided much guidance along the way. We couldn't have asked for a smoother process or better outcome in our sale!
Voila, it really was that easy! Thank you Joey, Katie and team!

Voila team is the BEST. We met Wyatt Lemon from Voila and within minutes decided that he will be our agent. He was so comfortable to talk to, very knowledgeable in his field, very very approachable and just overall fantastic to work with. We sold our house with Voila team and couldn't have asked for a better Agent than them. Wyatt made the process feel very convenient. The administrative staff, the stager, and others would respond to our calls or emails very promptly even if it was off office hours.
So if you are looking to buy or sell your property, look no further. This is the right place. 👍

Joey and I had quite the adventure with my building process that literally went down to the wire for my closing but he was there every step of the way. He was the best realtor for the job and a better friend for bringing me back to reality at times. Honestly wouldn't have done it any differently(well maybe a couple things 😉) but having chosen Joey and Viola was ultimately the best choice. Great company to work with.

Joey and his company are extremely professional. I sold a house through Voila and bought a house using Voila. The crew is absolutely top notch -- honest, motivated, knowledgeable, hardworking and they operate with the client's best interests at top of mind. In terms of commission cost, I'm not sure anyone competes with them. They sold my home for over $1 million and only took a $5,000 commission. They then found me a great home and rebated me part of the commission shared with the seller's agent. In other words, they found my home and paid me to do it! On top of the colossal professionalism, Joey and his team are just pleasant, salt-of-the-earth folks. They listen well and talk straight. I highly recommend Voila.

As a first time seller I needed a lot of basic information, assistance and reassurance about the process of selling my home. Joey came highly recommended by a past client whose opinion I trust, and I’m so happy I took that recommendation! From the beginning and throughout the process Joey provided the info and perspective I needed in order to make the choices that felt right to me. He was honest, upfront and clear in sharing all the essential details I needed about everything from preparing my house for listing through to the closing process. He was also accessible, returning calls and messages in a most timely manner. Joey is a very upbeat, personable and positive individual, all of which combined with his professionalism made him wonderful to work with! So, the company tag line, ‘Voila, it’s that easy’...that rings true for me!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to find Joey years ago when looking to buy an investment home. In perfect "Tork" fashion, he filled in for a co-worker that was unable to show the home at the time. We were immediately drawn to his positive energy, and man, does he have a lot of it!
We have trusted him with 6 properties of our own, several that we referred out to friends and family, and have no doubt any future listings as well. Their creativity, positivity, and professionalism are clearly seen in their listings. Great communicators with quick responses and great follow through.
I have so much respect for what he and James are doing in the real estate world by doing what they feel is morally right!
Do yourself a favor and make more money selling your home with these guys!

I recently purchased a home through Joey and James at Voila. I don’t think my experience could have been any better from start to finish to be honest. I was typically working with Joey, and when he was on another appointment, James stepped in to show me the house that I would eventually end up purchasing.

These guys are stellar at what they do! Very easy to work with, they kept it fun and relaxed, professional when need be, and most of all, they kept the process FUN! Any time I had a question, they were available with answers. Any time I was a little nervous, they were there to put me at ease.

Bottom line - If I buy and sell again, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you want to have a home buying experience that is fun, stress free, and just overall an awesome / amazing / super califragilisticexpialidocious experience, this is the team to call!

Joey and James were beyond amazing when we were selling our old home and buying the new home. They are both kind, knowledgeable, flexible, approachable, and just wonderful people to work with. This is my second home purchase with Joey, and I will continue to refer Voila to all of my friends and family. Plus, they give back to the community and support a variety of organizations around the Twin Cities area. They are business to help people find that place to call home. Their fees are the best in the business, and you still get the superior service. Give Voila a call and you'll understand what I'm talking about!

He has obvious passion for his work and he has a really great personable approach. He will keep you well informed every step of the way. I'm VERY impressed. I also really liked his sense of humor too because selling or buying a home can be really stressful. It's nice to be able to have a laugh or two during the process. Thanks Joey!
