Testimonials

I could not be happier with the job done by Pete and his team. We have used many realtors and this easily the best experience we have had. I highly recommend Pete!

Pete was thorough and knowledgeable about the area and bringing folks into look at our home. He helped us along the way and was always accessible. I would highly recommend Pete and I would use him for future home buying/selling. 

Pete will never let you give up on your dream no matter how many houses you have to visit or how many months pass. Pete takes the time to discover your needs and won’t quit until they are all met. He advised me through the whole process and knew exactly what my family needed and never allowed me to settle. Pete can help you sell/buy a $10,000,000 house or sell/buy a $50,000 piece of property. He treats you the same regardless. Knowledgeable and Trusted are the two words I use to describe Pete. I would refer him to anyone. Plus, he has a trusted network behind him that can take care of the mortgage and home insurance too. One stop shop.

We hired Pete and his team to sell our MN home. His local knowledge and ability to tell a good story about location, schools, etc. was impressive. His pricing advice was “on the money” and he made sure that we got a lot of traffic through the house. Suzy did a great job staging and keeping us informed throughout the process. They were friendly and helpful – we’d definitely recommend Pete and his team.

Pete was so great to work with– he helped price our home fairly and to sell quickly– and we had an acceptable offer within 5 days of listing! He knows how to connect the right prospective buyers to your home. He also helped us buy a home and negotiate when multiple offers were being accepted. He listened to us so he knew exactly what we wanted (and didn’t want) in a new home, and made sure we got exactly what we were expecting. On top of all his professionalism and expertise, Pete is fun to work with and helps make the experience enjoyable!

Pete Ice was very professional in every way. Ours was an “easy” sale in that we had the buyer already. He still maintained every courtesy in helping us, answering questions, and facilitating a fast closing. He was a delight as a person, and his kindness showed through.

Pete was hands on throughout the entire process of selling the family home. Pete recommended and provided professionals to help clean out, complete minor repairs, and stage the house for sale. I highly recommend Pete and Edina Realty for either the purchase or sale of a home. Very professional and knowledgeable; second to none.

Pete was AMAZING to work with! He was attentive to our needs as sellers and respected our requests along the way. I would absolutely recommend him to all my friends and family.

Would recommend Pete Ice to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home. Fantastic to work with, always there for you, great back up staff. The sale of our home was quick and painless thanks to Pete.

Pete was particularly helpful in assisting us in getting the house ready for market. His advice was spot on and whenever we needed help with selling, storing, or disposing of furniture and other items he knows who to call. That was important to us since it has been 30 years since we’ve sold a house. He did a great job negotiating on our behalf and whether it was price, timing, or paper work he was always on top of it day, night, or weekends. Through all the emotional ups and downs of the preparation and sale process we experienced, Pete was always calm and confident. And he was right. I would recommend Pete Ice to anyone who intends to sell their house and is willing to listen to professional advice.

Pete is realistic and honest. He is optimistic but not careless. He helped us set a selling price for our home that was necessary for movement. The emotional attachment we had to the house doesn’t increase the value to others. That is a difficult part of selling, but a realistic outlook that Pete helped us realize.

Pete and his team did a great job of staging (putting in his furniture and art into our empty condo) to make it look great. Very responsive to showing requests. Encouraging and empathetic during negotiations, with just the right touch of urgency. Although, a bit concerned in the beginning because our home was downtown and he seems to do most of his work on the west side, that was a non-issue. He made the trips, did the work, knew the market, found a handyman to fix a few things, closed the deal.

Pete brought a lot of energy to the process of buying and selling. He has a very good team to work with and they staged the house nicely to sell. He had good advice and is very sincere, honest and trustworthy.

Pete represented us on both the sale and purchase of our homes and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome and experience.
To touch on each aspect of the ratings:
1) Pete was upfront and transparent throughout the process. He has a principled process that produces win-win outcomes
2) Pete responded promptly to our questions and requests. On more than one occasion, he dropped everything to show us a house that had just hit the market
3) Pete demonstrates a deep knowledge of the market, current conditions and the neighborhoods within the west metro. On the sell side, he had a clear vision of our house’s buyer and an effective marketing plan. On the buy side, he helped us define the house we wanted and found the perfect house to meet our requirements – and in an area that hadn’t been on our radar previously, but we now love.
4) Pete over-delivered on sale price of our home. We were pleased with what we received and he negotiated flexible closing terms that allowed us to make some renovations to our new home prior to move in. He negotiated in a skilled manner that helped us get what we needed, while also keeping our buyer happy
5) Pete’s process expertise is phenomenal. Buying and selling a home can be complicated, but Pete was there with a solution at every turn. He kept everything running smoothly and our confidence in him grew every step of the way. This is probably the best compliment I can pay Pete – he takes care of everything and you’ll always feel that you are in good hands.

On top of Pete’s first rate skills, he’s a pleasure to work with. He loves his job, he makes the process fun and we now consider him a friend. I would heartily recommend Pete to anyone thinking of buying or selling their home.

Pete really listens to what your needs are. He guides you through the process in what to expect, how to proceed, and what exactly he will do for you. His experience and professionalism in real estate is truly incredible

Pete did a complete inspection of our home to provide us info we would need to do to prepare our house for sale. When we finished following these suggestions he gave us the estimate of what we could receive for the sale of our home. With that info we listed our home with Pete. We put the home for sale on a Thursday and had five legitimate offers by Saturday AM, and accepted one by noon, and the sale was done. The process involved open houses Thursday evening, all day Friday and Saturday AM. These. were all handle professionally. The closing when through with Pete’s help, easily, and we were satisfied with a job well done.

Pete helped me find the perfect house. He had the offer written within an hour of seeing it, and had acceptance of the offer by the next day. Pete knows the market and the local area, and is very professional in guiding you through the paperwork and negotiation process. I would use Pete again, and have recommended him highly to others.

Pete Ice was very easy to work with. Before he listed the home he went through the home thoroughly and asked us to get few things done, and also helped us picking skilled people do get those things done. He personally brought his trailer and parked in our garage so we could get rid of unnecessary stuff, which was a very big help. Pete and his assistant staged our home beautifully. Once it was on the market he updated us often and very involved in guiding us to get the best deal. I would recommend Pete Ice to my friends and family.

Best real estate agent I have used. He always responded immediately to any questions/concerns I had. He always kept me informed of any prospective buyers. I highly recommend Pete to anyone interested in selling their home. You will be so happy to have him represent you in both the sale and buying of your home.

In 2013, we were looking to buy a new home and hadn’t yet put our existing home on the market, nor did we have an agent we were working with. Pete Ice was the agent for the home we wanted to buy and after talking with him about wanting to make an offer on our potential new home, we KNEW we also wanted him to be our agent for our sell. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Pete in all aspects of selling and purchasing a home. He was easy to talk to and communicate with and was always willing to do what it took to make us happy and make both processes easy. He was very honest in his recommendations and we knew we could trust his judgement and expertise. He has a great sense of humor and his personality is off the charts. His associate, Suzy, was very thorough and organized in the details necessary in getting our home ready to sell–we knew what was expected of us to prepare our home for showings. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience–our paths crossed at just the right time with the right home and the right people. We LOVED working with Pete and his team!

Pete was our real estate agent who represented us with selling our home. He was honest, thorough, patient and an amazing negotiator. Pete had thorough knowledge of the market in the area of our home. He was available to answer our questions and had a wonderful reliable support team that handled all of our needs. All the emotions of selling a home and relocating across the country were monitored & respected. We would recommend Pete in a heartbeat! Go PETE!!!!!

Pete provided us invaluable assistance for selling our house by thoroughly knowing what the market would bear and how we could maximize our results. His support team and ties to local tradesmen helped transform our somewhat dated estate house to an attractive property with more modern appeal while directing our efforts only into those areas that provided the best return on our investment. Pete’s perseverance and support kept our enthusiasm up as we tackled the invariable issues that come up when dealing with selling a house and he was especially sensitive to the emotional separation that comes with selling a long-time family house. He always responded to us in a very timely manner. I can’t recommend him enough.

Pete was great – he went above and beyond to help get our house sold. Including loaning us a trailer and working with the sellers of our new home to allow us to store some things there after Pete staged the house. Our house sold in one afternoon. Can’t say much better than that! On top of that he is fun!
