My name is Tom Torkelson. I have been a professional, full-time real estate agent for more than 30 years. I've sold hundreds of homes
during my career using a solid marketing method consisting of equal parts hard work and creativity.
Most of my business comes from referrals and repeat clients. I'm grateful for referrals because they are a true test that my clients are satisfied with the way I sold their home. Their satisfaction is my number one objective. I believe in constant communication with my clients, and I work hard to keep them informed every step of the way. I begin with an in-depth, market analysis so my clients can see how their homes compare with the recent home sales in their neighborhood. I attend to details, big ones and little ones. After over 30 years in real estate, I can anticipate potential obstacles and prevent them from interfering with the sale.
Every home has a market, and I dedicate myself to finding and reaching that market for every home I list. I use a 30-step, systematic
marketing plan that has proven effective to sell homes, even homes that have been listed several times. In addition, I maintain an
active network of potential buyers and sellers, greatly increasing the chances of a sale.
I've sold homes in many areas of the Twin Cities, and during my career I've seen the real estate market go through many cycles, both up and down, and that's taught me how to be flexible to economic conditions. I believe that real estate is always an opportunity for someone,
regardless of whether the market cycle is up or down. I try to bring that philosophy to every listing.
I am experienced in many financing options and can advise and pre-qualify potential buyers before getting their name on a purchase
agreement. This saves time and prevents tying up a listing by waiting for a financing approval that will never come.
Once a home is sold, I continue to follow-up and stay in touch with my clients through the closing and afterwards. My greatest joy is to see
my clients achieve their real estate goals.
