We are so thankful we worked with Josh during our home buying process. He knew the area, market and inventory extremely well. He found us our dream home-a house we had skipped over during our search online. Thanks goodness Josh was there to guide us. He is incredibly down to earth and a pleasure to work with.

Khonsavanh was so dedicated to helping my family find our first home. She was so reassuring throughout the entire process which eased my high anxiety about purchasing a home. She stuck with us for a year, pressure free, as we searched for the right home and the right financing. She was so knowledgeable, yet not afraid to ask questions of whomever to make sure we had the answers we were looking for. She spent countless hours on touring homes with us, researching various services for us, and touring more homes (some for the second, third, and fourth times). Khonsavanh’s patience and loyalty to her clients is unmatched and at the end of it all, she made sure that we were making the best decision for our family on our own terms. Believe me when I say that I truly never thought home ownership was within reach for me, but Khonsavanh was the missing link in making our dream a reality (cheesy, but true!)

Jon was really helpful and personable from start to finish. We were first-time home-buyers and being from the south, we had no experience with cold weather, but he explained what we needed to know in layman's terms. Since I only had a couple of days in town to look at houses before we eventually moved up here, he picked me up from my hotel and we saw ten properties in half a day! He also knew a lot about the town, which put my mind at ease when he recommended certain neighborhoods over others. The negotiation process was smooth and easy, and he kept in contact even after we closed to help us with little things we needed to know about the house. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Grand Forks

Khonsavanh was absolutely wonderful to work with, I would highly recommend her to anyone! She was always very prompt to respond and always had an answer to our questions. The whole home buying process was so easy, we were so lucky to find her.

Jon was excellent and aggressive in his marketing of our property. He did a great job on persevering through a long listing process for us. I would definitely recommend him to others and utilize him again in the need arises.

We had such a wonderful experience buying our house with Khonsavanh! She was so helpful and available to answer questions pretty much any time of day. She always gave her honest opinion. The best decision we made was having her as our realtor! 10/10 would use her again to buy or sell a home.

Mr. Broden performed flawlessly as our buyer's agent during the recent purchase of our Grand Forks home. As a lifelong resident, his local area knowledge was invaluable in assisting us in finding the perfect location. Though his brokerage listed the property we ultimately selected, I never felt as though he was trying to sell us anything, but rather was very attentive and listened carefully to our specific wants and needs. Always responsive in communication, Jon was patient and professional throughout the negotiation process. He even went above and beyond in assisting us with our transition during a difficult time of year, having our driveway plowed and setting the thermostat until we arrived. The whole experience felt like a friend looking out for our interests instead of a salesman in search of a commission. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to my own friends and constituents.

Khonsavahn was amazing to work with. She not only sold our home within a week, she also helped us find our new home and was more than helpful every step of the way! She made selling and buying stress free and we highly recommend her for your realty needs.

Josh was an excellent realtor to work with! We called him up and said we were ready to house hunt and I gave him a list of houses I wanted to look at and he had us looking the next day at the ones at the top of my list! He is quick to respond and doesn’t leave you hanging and waiting for answers. No question is a stupid question he is down to earth and there to help you understand the whole process. He definitely wants whats best for you. He will take his time and make sure you are getting what YOU want! We are very pleased and would rate his services excellent and I would recommend him to anybody looking to sell/buy!!

Buying a home is always a difficult process, from choosing which home,what price range you want, to what are the needs or wants of the perfect forever home. All through our process we had amazing help from Khonsavanh, she really made us feel as family. She answered any questions we had on the process immediately and efficiently. She never made me feel as thought I was asking a dumb question or reaching out excessively. She put our mind at ease every step of the way.

Super smart, great personality, family oriented, just a joy to be around!

Khonsavahn is a fantastic realtor! She sold my house within 6 months and made it smooth and easy for me. She also went above and beyond to help make sure that my inspection went through and even helped me paint outside in the dead of winter. If that isn’t a true dedicated realtor I’m not sure what is. I 100% recommend her!!

We had a wonderful experience working with Josh to purchase our first home. He was easy to talk to and happy to answer any of our questions through text/email/phone call. He talked us through the process step by step and gave us suggestions along the way if we asked. We would gladly recommend him to anyone we know looking to buy a house.

When I was working with Jon I didn't feel like I was working with just another realtor. I always felt Jon had my back and was working to get me the house I was looking for at the best price I could afford. I would certainly recommend him to any of my friends or family. I was always shocked because it seemed this like this guy was always working and he always responded to my questions with everything I asked about and then some. Thanks Jon.
"
- Mike

I liked working with Josh! His humor helped me through some of the frustrations of selling my Dad's place and he responded to my questions and requests immediately. Even though our selling situation was far from a textbook or easy at any point, he was ready with options and advise that helped us eventually get to a closing.

Josh was very helpful in getting my home sold fast with minimal hassle. Josh helped me price the house right and got it under contract in a short period of time. Thanks for your hard work Josh! We appreciate it!

Alexa was extremely accommodating of us. We started this process while outside the country and she was great about helping us work around that distance and time difference. She was quick in her responses to our questions and emails/texts. She was very helpful in helping us consider other areas we weren't familiar with. When doing the inspections and walk-throughs she noticed many things I had not and made sure they were addressed by the seller which was hugely appreciated. She was also very proactive in talking to our lender and helping us through the whole process. Overall, we were very pleased with Alexa. We would highly recommend her to others.

Alexa Lovelien found us our home and made sure it was going to be ours! There were many things that we were looking for in a home and our home she sold us had it all! Additionally, I feel like I made a really good friend out of this process. We moved from Illinois, away from family and friends. It's really nice to have a friend that can show/tell you about your new city. I would recommend Alexa because she pays attention to your needs and will not fail you!

We were referred to Josh by another individual. Josh is an excellent representative who respects the opinions of his clients. It is truly evident that he has his client's best interests in mind when providing feedback and is willing to make time and become available fairly rapidly. Josh will be our go-to agent when we are ready to buy and/or sell again. Thanks Josh!

Khonsavanh was very insightful and helped my wife and I get into our first home. Not only did we get a great place with enough space for our family to grow, but we got it at a better price than expected thanks to her! She can see your point of view and help you find what you are looking for. She had answers to every question we had and knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were looking at. She is also very quick to respond! We highly recommend Khonsavanh if you are looking for an agent.

When Katie first came into our home selling process, we were
disheartened. We began working with a different realtor who did
not listen to our needs, and did not make an effort to highlight
our home through social media and other advertising outlets.
Katie stepped in and sold our house within 8 days, after it had
sat on the market for six weeks and only been shown twice.
She came to our closing, and I felt confident knowing that she
was their to advocate for me. In fact, Katie and her husband
went above and beyond expectations, and arranged to have our
new home's driveway shoveled after a snow storm the night
before move-in day! I trust her and know that beyond being a
good realtor, she is a good person with a good heart.

Josh is well informed about local real estate and very responsive in nature. He was the only realtor who followed up with me when I sent out an inquiry and I sent information to 6 or 7 other local agents. He was always prompt to return emails and texts and flexible with out tight out of town schedule. He is easy going and a pleasure to work with.

Jon was amazing! He helped me get everything ready to list my house. Once my house was listed he had a plethora of potential buyers come look at it. We got offers on the house after just 2 days. Everything went smooth and was such an easy process!

Katie Marcotte was great to work with! As first time home
buyers, she made the process easy and enjoyable. She is very
knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful. She probably
has many clients, but she always responded quickly to emails,
texts, or calls and was very available when looking at properties.
She really cared about what we were looking for and helped us
find our new home! I would highly recommend Katie Marcotte as
a realtor.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Josh was knowledgeable and super responsive in all stages of the sale. He offered help and advice along the way and within 6 weeks my house was on the market and had two buyers ready to rumble...lol He made the experience of letting go after 26 years less stressful because I was in great hands that I could trust.

I highly recommend Josh! My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with our experience with him. He was always available and went the extra mile! He found us the perfect lot to build our dream home! He even went with to help us design our home! He was always honest with us which we really appreciated! We would 100% use him again! Such a funny guy too!

Khonsavanh is wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable about the local market and skilled at negotiating a fair price--higher than we would have negotiated on our own. She kept us "in the loop" through the entire process, even texting us with updates while she was on vacation! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to either buy or sell a house.

Jon was extremely helpful when it came to finding me houses to look at. Jon gave great insight and knowledge on the properties that I was looking to buy. Although I have not bought a house yet, I plan to use Jon when the time comes. Jon was very easy to work with, knowledgeable, and professional. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Josh is a fantastic realtor. I never felt rushed when looking at houses with him, and never felt as if he was trying to push a house on me. He has an easy going, honest attitude and points out numerous details about the houses during viewings. He is an experienced realtor who knows how to negotiate the proper price, as well. Always responsive as well.

Thanks to our incredible Realtor Felicia Diemert- Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Family Realty We close on our new Home on Monday. I couldn't be more excited to have our own place again. We could not have done it without the amazing souls who helped us. So grateful. Thank you for your hard work Felicia.

We really appreciated Josh's assistance in buying our home. He was with us from beginning to end and managed to the whole process - taking away so much of the stress and anxiety of buying a new home. He was very straightforward with us as we tried to determine which house was best for our needs, and which house was a good investment. He ensured things moved along quickly and smoothly. We would definitely use him again, except I think he did too good a job and we'll be happy where we are for a long time!

Katie Marcotte is uniquely talented as a realtor. She is both
collaborative and aggressive at the same time. Her
understandings of psychology and finance merge perfectly to
the advantage of her customers. She is a realtor with the skills
to adjust to the wishes of her clients, a trait rarely found in other
realtors. Simply put, you won't find anyone better than Katie

Alexa Lovelien made our experience a smooth and exciting one. This was our first big house purchase, and she patiently and efficiently answered all of our questions. She would get back to us the same day often within the hour with answers. The day of our final walkthrough we came to the house and there were a few issues she put everything on hold and took the time to make sure everything was completely taken care of. She did an amazing job and we are so thankful. We would highly recommend Alexa Lovelien to anyone looking to buy a new house!

Jon is a great, knowledgeable agent. He is a true professional. Jon knows Grand Forks and the surrounding areas very well, and being from out of state, that is invaluable! He ensures he knows exactly what his clients are looking for in a home (size, style, location). He is also very patient, and knows that it may take quite a few showings to find “the one”. Jon helped us find the charming home that we were looking for, and we are so happy in our new home
"
- Kimberly

During the stressful time of searching for a home and during the loan process, Jon's knowledge and attitude is calming and uplifting. He is very professional, knowledgeable and upfront about everything. I would 100% recommend Jon in every real estate decision you have to make. My wife and I are forever grateful that we have Jon on our side. We will be having him, again, represent us in the future! Thanks Jon!

Jon was quick to respond to our questions and help in every step in buying our house and selling. He worked fast to sell our house to ensure we were able to get the house we wanted. I recommend Jon Broden to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Words TRULY cannot express how great Jon was to work with. He has an incredible work ethic and even more important to us...he has a sense of URGENCY, which is hard to find in GFs, ND. This sense of urgency is what we were needing to sell our higher end home, and be able relocate back to Texas. We had tried to sell it twice before with a different realtor who was unsuccessful. Jon was able to get the job done, not only in our 60 day time frame, but directed a fantastic social media campaign. Jon has business sense, with a customer service focus. If you are serious about selling, or serious about buying...he should be at the top of your list for realtors! Thanks Jon! You are the BEST!

Josh was absolutely phenomenal to work with! I built my home and he was so helpful with the entire process and stayed on top of the developers with everything we did. Josh always made me feel like he was in my corner and he made sure I was nothing less than 100% satisfied. Thank you Josh!!

Josh was very helpful in finding the right home for me. I explained the features I was looking for and he found homes that met or exceeded my hopes all while keeping my budget in mind. Josh made being a first time home buyer simple and guided me through each step, answering every question I had along the way.

I was in the military when I bought my home in North Dakota and when I received orders overseas I decided to get a property manager and rent out my home. This is where the nightmare began. Long story short, my property manager quit on me and I had a very difficult time finding a new one. I tried to handle the property myself from a different state and it was a nightmare. Both renters trashed my home, causing thousands of dollars in damage. I was devastated. And I am currently still dealing with legal issues surrounding the renters that up and left without warning. I contacted one company, but as the relator was new to the field he was unable to help me with all the issues I was dealing with. I literally went on line and selected the first name and picture that popped up. And boy did I luck out. My contact with Josh has been via phone/email but he has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND what anyone in his position is required to do. It would take me all day to list the things that he has done for me. This would include putting me in contact with a lawyer who spoke to me and gave me advice free of charge. I didn’t think that there were kind people left in this world, but I was wrong. I would be in horrible state if it wasn’t for him. If I ever decide to purchase another home, I hope that I will be able to use him again. TOP NOTCH SEVICE. If you use him as your realtor, you will not be sorry….He was really a godsend

Khonsavanh is beyond amazing. Keeping in touch, helping sell our house quick and easy. Such a bubbly personality and so great to work with. She definitely cares and wants what is best for her clients. I would definitely recommend her to everyone who is looking to sell or buy a home.

My husband and I had already been looking for a house for almost 3 months with no luck nailing one down. After working with Khonsavanh for only 1 week, we found a house we loved, put in an offer, and she got us a really great deal! I highly recommend Khonsavanh! She is great at what she does and she's a wonderful person!

I was searching for a condo online and Alexa was the first to call me when I clicked on "contact an agent". She was very professional, very helpful, and very patient as I ran her all over town to look at over a dozen units before I made a decision. I also appreciate her willingness to do this work on weekends to accommodate my schedule. Once I made a decision she walked me through the process of financing, inspecting, and closing. My experience with Alexa was very positive and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new home."

Khonsavahn was so eager to help us find our first home!! She was always quick to answer our late night questions and reassure us throughout the whole process! It was fun getting to see her show such interest and passion in what she does! I HIGHLY recommend her expertise!!
Sweetest realtor out there!

Josh didn't waste any time. When we went looking at houses, he took me to every viable town and showed me parks and other recreation on the way. Don't let his picture fool you, he has much more experience now. He was able to answer all of my questions, and I had a lot (first time home buyer), to get me to the finish line.

Josh was a great help throughout our entire buying experience. Being a first time home buyer I was concerned about the process, however, Josh walked us through everything and explained everything we had questions about. He was clearly knowledgeable about the area and the market. This comforted us in making our decision to buy. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy in Grand Forks.

With help and guidance from Khonsavanh, my wife and I were able to purchase our first home in December. Khonsavanh was very knowledgeable of the market and was able to quickly identify our wants and needs. She was so easy to work with throughout the process and was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. She negotiated well and got us the price we were looking for. We are so thankful to have worked with such a great realtor and friend!

Great to work with, was easy to get ahold of and was able to give me all the information I needed when buying my house, I could text or call him and he would answer, I would recommend.
