Cash Back to Heroes Program

When my wife and I learned that we were expecting our first baby, it was time to make our long-awaited housing transition. Jeff Anderson helped us find a reputable builder for our new home, but the more daunting task was to simultaneously sell our current home within a limited timeframe. Always accommodating our busy schedules, Jeff was able to give us useful recommendations for staging our house, while he took care of the rest of the work of photographing our house and creating a professional online virtual tour. On our first (and only) Open House, there were over a dozen visitors, one of whom ended up coming for a second visit, which ultimately resulted in a purchase agreement within the week. Jeff made the eventual closing process just as easy, as he was always readily available to answer our questions and ensure that our best interests were the priority. I would highly recommend Jeff Anderson to anyone selling or buying a home in the Twin Cities area.

Dear Prospective Homeowners, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Jeff Anderson as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home in the Twin Cities metro area. We have used Jeff multiple times and each time he has surpassed our expectations. The first move was relocation from Texas back to the Twin Cities back in 1987. I had one house hunting trip where Jeff set up a series of house showings where we found the perfect house, made an offer and happily moved in as expected a couple of months later. It was seamless! Personal situations changed and I ended up in a quaint small home in Minneapolis. When the time was right to move again, we called Jeff to consult with us on preparation to list our home. He made recommendations on staging and some minor repairs/updates needed to the home. Jeff has just the touch when it comes to advertising the homes he lists. Once listed, it was a matter of days and we had an offer in hand! Once again, we set out to find that next perfect home. He worked with us on our wish list for the new home and found us the perfect rambler in the western suburbs. He coached us through a situation where multiple offers were being presented and we got the house. Fast forward about 10 years and we were in the market for something new once again. We either wanted to remodel where we were or find a new home that we could make our own. After talking through our goals we decided to sell our rambler and find something new. Again, he recommended just the right staging and preparation and before Jeff even received the formal beautifully designed flyers, our home was sold! Jeff then assisted us in buying our next perfect home. Jeff gives his clients excellent personal attention. We never felt neglected or unimportant. While working with Jeff, he made us feel as if we were his only clients, although we know that was not the case; always returning our phone calls and emails the same day. We are pleased to recommend Jeff Anderson to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Twin Cities area. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion when we move again he will be our first and only choice as our real estate agent.

We moved to Burnsville, MN in the spring of 2018 during a very competitive market. We contacted Jeff because we had a wonderful experience with Jeff the 1st time. We knew that if anyone can help us, it would be Jeff. Again, Jeff made it all happen for us. We wanted a house big enough for our family since we just added another addition. After a couple days of looking, and multiple offers on a house we really wanted, Jeff found the perfect one for us. The minute we saw the house, we knew it was the one. The space was more than we can ask for and right within our price range. The location was PERFECT! He knew exactly what it was that we were looking for in terms of floor layout, space and location! Now we just had to get our townhome on the market and sell! Again, he made that happen! It was a huge success. We were able to sell out townhouse in a day! He truly went above and beyond to sell our townhome. Jeff is not only one of the best realtor we have had the honor to work with, he is also a very kind, caring and thoughtful person. He made sure that meetings and showings worked for us. He met us at hours that worked for us even if that meant he had to go out of his way. He answered every question and addressed every concern that we had. He did exactly what we wanted. If we had to do it again, we would do it all over again with Jeff!

We initially researched the Homes for Heroes and found it would be a great fit for us. Upon applying we looked over an e-mail Jeff had sent us. It was immediately apparent that Jeff was passionate about his career as well as helping those in his community. We began working with Jeff who was incredibly personable with us. He thoroughly explained each step of the buying process and answered any questions we had. He immediately began searching for homes in our price range and got us right into looking at them. Upon doing so he researched each individual one and provided us with specific details about the property. Between both of us, our work schedules are almost completely opposite. Jeff worked around this and made himself available when we were, even late into the evening. We both remembered how Jeff said that his career had no schedule and he was willing to work whenever he needed to. He really ensured the best result for us despite odd hours and sacrificing his own time to help us through this process. When we located a home that we wanted to put an offer in on, Jeff immediately got to work on making that happen. Despite demanding sellers Jeff was able to ensure we paid the price we felt comfortable with. He was persistent, thorough, and ensured everything in his power was done to close the deal. We couldn’t have been happier with the results. If you are looking for an experienced professional who is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a smooth process look no further. We will always recommend Jeff to those we come into contact with! Sam Beuch

Being first time home buyers, between the horror stories we heard from our friends, and the seemingly endless list of questions, we were overwhelmed. We needed a realtor we could trust. We needed someone to help guide us. Jeff took some time to get to know us to better understand our needs and expectations. Then the hunt began. He helped us discover the difference between the things we absolutely needed in a house and the things we wanted, but could live without. He never once made us feel incompetent or incapable and we started growing as buyers. Even though he is a very busy man, we always felt like the most important people to Jeff. He was quick to answer emails and early to every single meeting. We never felt pressured to spend more than we could afford and felt completely confident that he had our best interests in mind. After many showings, phone calls, late night emails, faxes, and a mountain of papers we are thrilled to be settling into our new home together. Throughout our experience we saw a level of professionalism and dedication unrivaled by the 'standard' house buying experience. Thank you Jeff for all of the time, effort, and energy you spent in finding us our dream home. We couldn't be happier.

It was our first time buying property so we were nervous about the whole process. Due to some changes in the FHA guidelines, we only had 2 months to look for and purchase a home. I was scared because I thought we wouldn’t have enough time, and was also worried that we would be pressured into buying something we didn’t like. However, Jeff was a working miracle! Jeff is very knowledgeable, flexible and prompt! He met with us right after we contacted him. He answered all our questions and not once did something go unanswered! Within a short period of time, we saw enough properties to be able to make a decision. Not once did we feel any pressure and instead Jeff made sure it was all about us. He was very flexible with his schedule and always made time for us. He went above our expectations to make sure we found the perfect place! Because of Jeff we have a place we call home today. We love Jeff for his drive to work with people to get their dream home! His willingness to educate and assist is always above and beyond! You won’t regret working with him!

Jeff Anderson came highly recommended as a realtor. From the very beginning, Jeff had great communication with Anna Lee and I. We were always kept in the loop as to what was going on via text messages and emails. He was very flexible with our schedules and was always on time. Anna Lee and I were first time home-buyers, knowing nothing about what it really took to buy a house. Jeff not only educated us on the process, but on much more about what to look for in a good home. His knowledge and experience of around three decades showed when visiting potential houses to buy. Jeff seemed to know everything about them. He had a good eye and was honest when describing details about the various aspects of the homes. Anna Lee and I were very pleased with our business experience with Jeff. I would HIGHLY recommend Jeff as a realtor for home buyers, as well as home sellers. The Homes For Heroes program is another reason why Anna Lee and I chose to work with Jeff Anderson. I work as a State Correctional Officer and when I learned about Homes For Heroes, I thought about how great this program was. Public Service employees often work a "thankless" job. The benefit of the Homes For Heroes program showed me that my public service does not go unnoticed. Anna Lee and I closed on our house in late February and shortly after that we received a check in the mail from Homes For Heroes. It is a HUGE display of gratitude and I couldn't thank Jeff and the Homes For Heroes team enough. We received a portion of Jeff's commission at closing; This is money out of his pocket and it shows that people like Jeff care about public service.

Jeff Anderson exceeded every possible expectation in our search for the right first home! He could always be counted on for thoughtful advice, was always ready to answer specific questions, worked closely with us to define our very specific needs in a home and made sure that we were informed in a very timely fashion of all the steps in the purchase process. He was very solicitous, friendly, kind and sensitive. We are an older couple and in our home searches, he recognized that Dana's balance was not the best and made sure that stairs were negotiated safely. One of the main reasons that we won the bid for our home was Jeff's willingness to work with our team to make personal contact with the seller's agent on our behalf. We could not have asked for a better advocate in the process and are honored to call him friend!

Buying your first home can be extremely overwhelming. Add working with the VA home loan process, it can be very intimidating. Jeff’s years of experience in Real Estate shines. One of his many skills is being well versed in the VA home loan process. With his knowledge and his partnering with “Homes for Heroes”, you can’t ask for a better and smoother process. When my worrying was getting the best of me he said, “let me do the worrying for you.” Jeff always kept me informed step by step in the process. He was always honest and real with me when we did showings and gave me advice as if I were family. He treats you like family…and when you’re family, you look out for their best interests. I am incredibly blessed and thankful for Jeff’s dedication, attention to detail, and swift action throughout this process. From start to finish, in a matter of 45 days I became a Home Owner. Thank you for helping me achieve this milestone. Thank you for doing the worrying for me. Thank you for your unyielding support. Forever Grateful, Shawna Geisler (Retired, US Army. OIF 09-11)

We recently worked with Jeff to sell our home in Eagan, MN and could not be more pleased with the service we received. We were moving out of state and had some concerns about how to sell our house from a distance and wow did Jeff make the process seamless for us. He was willing and able to coordinate every detail necessary and he seems to know someone to repair, tweak or beautify about anything. Then after the pre-listing work was completed we got to see Jeff's negotiating skills and knowledge of the market take over which ended up with our house being sold in under 6 days and our final bottom line being within dollars of what Jeff had told us what he thought our final payout should be... simply fantastic work! Anybody looking for a Real Estate Agent will not go wrong with Jeff as his level of service is as high as anybody I have worked with in any industry. Jeff simply has a level of professionalism, service & knowledge not seen often these days. Add this to the fact that he is also just a great guy means.... just hire this guy as you certainly won't be disappointed.
