Testimonials
Bruce Durham made our relocation to the Twin Cities area from out of state a relatively “painless” experience. He listened to our requirements for a home and provided us with a wide selection that met our criteria. He knows the area extremely well and was able to give us a good feel for our new community.
While we were still out of state, Bruce was in constant communication with us. He always informed us of new opportunities as they hit the market and sent us the relevant information. One weekend we came to town to house hunt, he showed us 42 homes!
My husband and I enjoyed working with Bruce. We appreciated his honesty, enthusiasm and efforts in locating our new home. Next time we relocate I can only hope that we have the good fortune to meet another “Bruce Durham”!
Thank You Bruce! We love our new home and community.
Sincerely,
Katherine and Brent St. John
Bruce,
Two years ago when Jim and I were thinking about purchasing a new home, we were needless to say quite nervous as this was going to be one of the biggest decisions we had yet to make. When we came to you for assistance, you took the drivers seat and put our worries to rest. You really took the time to find out what we wanted in a home and the location we were hoping to live in. Within that same week, you showed us homes and set us up with a mortgage broker. By the end of the week, we were homeowners! We couldn’t believe how quickly and easily it all went.
We are not the type of people to jump into decisions that quickly - we debated longer about getting a dog! Because of your reputation and experience we knew we were in good hands.
It has been almost a year now and we love our home and have not regretted it for a second -neither has our dog.
We can’t thank you enough! It was definitely a positive experience.
Sincerely,
Jim and Vicky Sewich

Dear Bruce,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent services in marketing and selling our home in Eagan. We were confident from our first conversation with you that you would sell our home quickly. From the agent open house to the creative advertising to the quick sale of our home, your enthusiasm, positive attitude and professionalism were apparent. As you know, we have already referred Leigh’s parent’s to you for the sale of their home in Edina. We will continue to recommend you to anyone we encounter who is seeking a competent and professional real estate agent.
Thank you again for your outstanding efforts on our behalf.
Best regards,
Leigh and Greg Mathison
