Mackenzie Owens at OWN Mpls went above and beyond to help us find our home in Minneapolis. Very knowledgeable of houses, the market, knew all the things we needed to make it an expedient but also thorough process. Grateful for her patience as we navigated a stressful time finding a home in a crunch, but we did it, and will continue working with her/recommending her to others for the future!

Mackenzie came highly recommended to me and was the perfect fit for me as a first-time home buyer. She listened to all of the questions that I thought were too silly to ask, helped calm my nerves, supported me with the facts I needed to know, and bolstered me to be a smart buyer. I'm so grateful to have worked with her!

I couldn't recommend Mackenzie higher! Our original meeting with Mackenzie was two years before we ended up closing on our house. She counseled us on what we would need to do to get our credit and finances in the right shape and stuck with us over the time it took us to get there. When we were finally pre-approved Mackenzie was locked in responding to your inquiries, taking us on tours and talking through offer letters with an ideal balance of personal care and professionalism. We ended up finding a great house for our family and Mackenzie helped us craft a winning offer. We had an excellent experience with Mackenzie and we hope you do too.

Working with Mackenzie to find our first home was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. For myself and my partner it was really important that our relator be responsive and collaborative, know the Twin Cities market, neighborhoods, and the nuances of working with first time / first generational homeowners. She was able to check all of those boxes. We love our home!

Working with Mackenzie made buying my most recent condo such an easy, educational, and fun process. Not only does Mackenzie constantly support you as her client throughout but she is so quick to share her wisdom on buying and/or selling your home, and is truly interested in the best for her clients. This is my 3RD TIME working with her and I will always choose her for my home buying and selling endeavors! Thank you Mackenzie for finding me the perfect new home and making this such a special journey!

I consider Mackenzie my House Doula, she really walked me through the process with all kinds of helpful information and was on-call for my many questions and concerns. I felt very supported and secure in my decision to purchase the house that I have and I'm loving it! Bonus: She was very skillful at negotiating on my behalf making my offer standout and be successfully chosen over another. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I highly recommend working with Mackenzie Owens for a realtor! I was selling my home during a tough market and Mackenzie was extremely helpful and encouraging. Mackenzie is very knowledgeable, honest, and always has your best interest in mind. I have so appreciated her during this process and would absolutely be in touch with her again for future needs. Mackenzie is also very inclusive of BIPOC and queer identifying folx. Thank you Mackenzie!!

I highly recommend Mackenzie Owens for all your realtor needs! Her depth and breadth of knowledge was readily apparent as she guided me through buying my first home this year. She shared her extensive experience as we toured homes, not only teaching me what to look for when assessing a property but also helping me to hone in on what I really wanted and needed based on my lifestyle. Her ability to effectively communicate and explain each step of the process really put my mind at ease, and her flexibility with my schedule as well as responsiveness throughout the whole process made working with her a breeze!

I cannot speak highly enough of Mackenzie Owens. I absolutely loved working with her as my realtor. Knowledgeable, efficient, effective, direct, easy to communicate with. She took the time to educate me about the home buying process, then walked with me every step of the way, all the way to closing, responding swiftly to my questions and requests throughout the process. Even though I was working with a small budget, I felt just as valued as I'm sure her bigger-budget clients feel. I would absolutely work with her again. If you're on the fence about being in the market, do what I did. Just call up Mackenzie, ask for a conversation about the market, and go from there. Highly recommend!

Mackenzie Owens was instrumental in helping us purchase our dream home in South Minneapolis during a particularly stressful time in the housing market this year. We were so impressed by the incredible breadth of knowledge she has of the homebuying process, and market in the Twin Cities, especially for first-time buyers. She supported us through every step of the process and was available at all days and times when we needed her -- super responsive, informed and just an overall joy to work with. She scheduled a walk-through of our house on the first day the house went on the market, regularly talked with the seller's relator throughout the process, and helped us make an offer in less than 12 hours after the walk through. We also appreciated Mackenzie's ability to meet us just where we were at (financially and in terms of our house preferences) and also guide us to finding the best options for us. She is literally the best relator and buyer's advocate in town, and I highly encourage those seeking a new home to work with Mackenzie.

Mackenzie was brilliant! She guided us every step of the way. Showed us issues, taught us what to look for, and told us which homes would not be worth our time. In this competitive market, she was a steady head! Was honest if a home would go for more than our budget could accommodate before or during visits. Thoughtful, kind, and patient with these first-time buyers!

Working with Mackenzie was great! We made the move from out of state and so we could only be in town for a few days to see properties. We wanted to see an additional property before we caught our flight home at the last minute and they were on top of it! All of the communications throughout the buying process were quick and helpful. We are so happy with our new home and we can't thank Mackenzie enough for the help!

I can't imagine having bought our first home without Mackenzie. She was super responsive, helped us hone in on what we did/didn't want, and gave us the excellent guidance that led to our first and only offer getting accepted on a house with tons of competition. I've already shared her contact information with several friends thinking about entering the housing market because she was such a smart and talented professional, and so patient with all our first-time-homebuyer questions. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

We had such an awesome experience with Mackenzie as our realtor. She helped us buy our first home and we couldn't be happier. She made our home buying process a breeze.

As first time homebuyers, her patience and encouragement was much appreciated as we navigated each step of the process. We highly recommend Mackenzie! Thank you !!!

I knew I wanted to work with Mackenzie long before we were looking for a house. As a self-employed artist and designer, it was important to me that our realtor was familiar with some of the spatial + financial needs that come along with that type of work, and as an Asian-American, it was super important to me to work with a fellow woman of color while on our homebuying journey. Mackenzie is super thoughtful, and was very attentive to my partner and I's wish list when looking for properties. She was really responsive and supportive while we navigated the crazy market of spring 2021. We also felt so confident looking at properties with her as her familiarity with old homes and home improvement – she was super honest about what work would be "worth it" and what didn't make sense. We're happy to report that after looking for 3 months, Mackenzie helped us land our dream home, a 1920s bungalow in South Minneapolis and we are so, so grateful.

We are so grateful to Mackenzie for helping us find and receive our dream home! In the midst of the pandemic and winter it became clear to my wife and I that we needed more space and swiftly. I had seen that Mackenzie had gotten a lot of folks in my community into homes and she came highly recommended. Doing my research I saw she worked with all kinds of clientele, with a range of budgets and backgrounds as well as has helped people like myself who are artists, LGBTIA+ and BIPOC families get into homes.

When we began our journey she was extremely knowledgable and listened deeply to what we wanted in a home. She gave us insights into the market and inventory of our city in a way that helped guide us in our process successfully from looking at houses to our offer agreement to closing. The house we purchased is in a neighborhood we love and this home is where I will write, cook, garden and love my family for a long time. I would highly recommend this tremendous realtor!

Mackenzie is brilliant, focused, down to earth, and skilled at what she does. You won’t find a better realtor. I was a nervous first-timer to real estate, but she helped me navigate the process with clarity and ease, breaking down some of the more intimidating aspects into manageable terms/steps without making me feel small. I also have a physical disability, and Mackenzie worked with me closely to find a place I loved that had all the accessibility features I needed, and some I hadn’t even considered. I am writing this from my new condo—I couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Mackenzie!

Mackenzie was amazing to work with! She was personable, realistic, super responsive and was instrumental in helping us find our home. As first-time homebuyers, Mackenzie was patient with our ups and downs and kept us grounded, while maintaining a positive and can-do attitude--exactly the thing we needed throughout the emotional rollercoaster of home buying. She was even able to negotiate down our closing costs, which is amazing in this wild seller's market!! Her attention to detail is remarkable and her honesty was super helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market so I felt educated in all the decisions we were making. We were in very capable and experienced hands. Thank you Mackenzie!

Mackenzie was our realtor for purchasing our first multifamily investment. Through the process, she was thoughtful about options, offered insight into structural considerations, and kept communication lines open and transparent.

As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have found a better realtor. The sale ended up having a quick turn-around time and Mackenzie was available every step of the way. She was quick to answer even the smallest questions, provide recommendations when I needed them, and walk me through next steps. Her integrity and commitment to advocating on behalf of her clients is a definite plus. I went into the purchase knowing exactly what I was getting into and came out of it with a home that I love.

Working with Mackenzie was an absolute pleasure. We'd been in our home for 25 years, so had no idea about the current market or what to expect. Mackenzie's guidance and suggestions were spot on - and the entire selling process was a breeze. She was professional, friendly, and always available to answer our questions. Her experience was invaluable and resulted in the sale of our home in just two days. If you need a realtor, we highly recommend working with Mackenzie.

As a first time home buyer, Mackenzie explained the process in a step by step manner, and connected me to other people, like the loan officer and appraiser, which made things much easier. She always responded promptly thoughtfully, and honestly to text messages and her calm demeanor really helped lower my anxiety. I’d highly recommend Mackenzie as a real estate agent!

We used Mackenzie to help us buy a house and sell our existing home. She is super-responsive and is genuinely curious to learn about your vision for a new house.

Mackenzie was great finding us a beautiful home for our family. She was very responsive, understanding, and flexible. We saw several showings with her and she always helped us see the big picture, never pressuring us just for a sale. She was invested in us finding the perfect home. During Covid she took extra precautions to ensure we felt comfortable and safe. If you are a first time home buyer she is very knowledgeable and helpful walking you through the entire process. While we don't plan on buying another property any time soon when we do we will reach out to her again!
