Brian is very easy going and practical in his work. He always had a plan. But we also saw a side to him that he is also a fighter to make sure we were getting what was best for us. We totally appreciate everything he did for us, especially in a tough market. Thank you Brian! 100% recommend Brian!!
I have been working with Brian since 2020, and he has helped me buy and sell more than a dozen houses in that time. He is very knowledgeable and professional, and makes the buying and selling process very easy.
TL;DR Hands down the best realtor Ive ever worked with. This review is long overdueaEUR"what can I say, I'm a procrastinator. But I can assure you, Brian is anything but! Ive worked with several realtors in the past, and I often felt likeaEUR"even though they were supposed to be working for meaEUR"they were also somehow working against me. Brian couldnt be more different. From the beginning, he made it clear that he was 100% in our corner. Looking back on the journey from where we started to where we are now, its amazing to see how far weve comeaEUR"and thats largely due to Brians guidance. Helping people discover what they truly want in a home seems to be his superpower. He was with us every step of the way: always advocating for us, always showing up, and always willing to take on the hard conversations with honesty and care. He was my sounding board, my advocate, and sometimes even my punching bagaEUR"and never once did I feel deceived or unsure of whose side he was on. Brian and his team consistently made us feel like our best interest was their top priority. Today, were in a home we absolutely love. And I can honestly say that if we hadnt had Brian to help us navigate this process, we probably would have ended up settling for a house that didnt really fit usaEUR"frustrated and disappointed. I still call him with questions and for adviceaEUR"even over a year after our purchaseaEUR"and he still picks up every time! In the event we move again in the future, Brian will be our first call. No question.
The Leonhardt team and Brian have been great to work with. While recently looking for a home Brian showed he genuinely cared that we found the right place for us. There was never a feeling that he was trying to rush anything. Secondly, he took just as critical of eye while reviewing homes as we did, and was a second set of eyes for us. Absolutely a professional and someone you can trust.
It was truly amazing to work with Brian in the sale of our house and purchase of our new house. He is very knowledgeable, prompt and detailed in getting you all your questions answered. If you want a realtor who will help you along the entire process he is your guy! Don't look anywhere else! Beyond happy with Brian and his entire team! Thank you!!!!
Brian did an outstanding job in assisting us with selling our home. As first time sellers we were not sure what the process would look like, but Brian led us through every step of the way with clear communication, detailed information, and advice any time we asked for it. Brian made sure we were aware of all of our options throughout the process and let us make the calls that were right for us once we understood the intricacies of each one. Professional, warm, knowledgeable, everything you'd want in your real estate professional.
We had the pleasure of working with Brian during our home buying and selling journey. From the beginning, Brian showed a remarkable ability to ensure that both my husbands and my voice were heard. He took the time to understand our preferences, needs, and concerns. His personalized approach made us feel valued and confident in our choices. Brian's guidance was invaluable. He consistently steered us in the right direction, pointing out the pros and cons of each property we considered. His knowledge of the real estate market and the area was evident, and he provided us with very helpful insights that we might have overlooked otherwise. Brian's professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for his clients make him an outstanding realtor. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Brian, for making our home buying experience a smooth and enjoyable one!
We had the pleasure of working with Brian as our realtor, and we couldn't have been more impressed. From start to finish, Brian demonstrated exceptional professionalism and commitment to finding us the wonderful place we now call home. He effortlessly guided us through the entire process, ensuring that we encountered zero issues along the way. Brian's availability was truly remarkable; he was always there when we needed him, promptly addressing our questions and concerns.

Brian helped me close on my first home, 5 years ago. Last month, he assisted me with selling that one and buying the house of my dreams. He is knowledgeable, personable, and accessible. Not only is he a great realtor, but he also is a kind and generous person. It's nice to know I have a fantastic realtor for all of my future real estate needs.
Brian is the best of the best!!! He made our first time home buying process so easy especially with going with a new build. He explained every step of the process and he worked with our schedule. The best thing about him is that's hes honest which shows that he really cares. We worked with him for about a year and a half on the new build and we don't have a single complaint. Even after we moved in he still keeps in touch to make sure everything is going well with our new house. I wish there was an option to give him more than 5 stars because he deserves it after the great service we got from him.
Brian is mindful, knowledgeable, helpful, and just a great guy. He helped me negotiate my expectations, my offer, and my closing details. Id choose Brian again for another real estate adventure.
I highly recommend Brain Leonhardt. Youre in good hands if you choose to work with him. I was a first time home buyer and Brian was an expert at helping me understand and navigate the process. He is honest and really cares. Since buying the house he has been quick to reply and help with any follow up questions or provide assistance. Brian helps resolve problems and negotiate prices like a pro. Another major benefit to working with Brian is he will be honest about each house you visit. If there are drawbacks to a house you might not have noticed, he will be honest and tell you right away. Hes not just in it to make a sale, but to also make sure his clients are well taken care of. I also work two jobs so my schedule is ridiculously busy. Brian was able to accommodate my busy schedule with weekend or late night showings and responses. If youre looking for someone you can trust, Brian is your guy. Thanks Brian!!
I cant recommend Brain enough! He helped us list and sell our home quickly, and to find and buy a new home in this crazy housing market!

He is also prompt with meetings and reliable with communication. Brain is determined and dedicated to his job and those he works with, and it really shows. He was selfless and had our best interests in mind throughout the whole process. Brian is a gem! We are so grateful!!

Brian was such a great aspect to our home buying experience. My fiance and I were in the market to buying our first home. It took sometime to find "the one" but we did! He was very knowledgeable in the process. If he did not have the answer he was quick to find out. We looked at the house, put an offer in and closing was quickly around the corner. It was hassle free! If you are in the market he is your main man!
Brian was great to work with. He was willing to show us a variety of houses and schedule them when we wanted. He was also awesome in getting our house sold.
Brian is prompt to reply to emails/calls or texts. He will keep you informed every step of the way. Also will line up an inspector and loan officer.
Brian was very easy to work with and got me the asking price for my house.He was knowledgeable about local area and home prices and priced my house exactly rite.
Thanks to Brian, I officially own my own home! As a new college graduate, I was unsure of everything that comes with buying a home. Brian helped me learn all about the home buying process, got me set up with all the resources I needed, and walked me through every step. In addition to being knowledgeable and easy to work with, I was thankful to be working with someone who I was able to trust had my best interest in mind. I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks Brian!

Brian was very helpful in building our new home. He responded to emails and texts quickly and was very supportive throughout the entire process. Can't thank him enough for making the process easy and stress free!
We had been looking for lake property for about a year. Brian had been working patiently with my hubby while we systematically declined 20 or 30 lake places. When we did find a likely suspect, Brian was able to work with us to see a property with about a 10 hour notice. He then helped us prepare and submit an offer on the same day.He was very accommodating in our requests to show the property to our adult children between offer accepted and closing. And then when we did a walk through before closing, I admitted I had no idea what to do! He was very helpful and guided me through the process. The process was seamless and so easy. I'm not that experienced with buying and selling, but I think the process can be problematic. Brian was watching over us every step of the way.
Brian was great at every step during the selling and buying process, being very timely with every thing that was promised. He was very knowledgeable and was able to help us with getting the best deal we think we could have received. We highly recommend Brian to anyone that is looking to sell and/or buy a new home.
Brian was great to work with! He helped us purchase our first home. As new home buyers he answered all of our many questions throughout the home buying process. He and his team helped us negotiate throughout our closing process and represented our interests well when any concerns arose.
Brian Leonhardt was very helpful in selling our home and helping us find a new home. If you need a great realtor I would highly recommend Brian Leonhardt.
Moving back to MN, Brian was very helpful and informative with helping us of find our first home. He was quick to respond to our questions/concerns while we were in Colorado and made it easy to transition into our new home in Rochester.
Brian was great. Helped us with the whole process being first time home buyers we where lost at first, but Brian made sure we understood everything and was a pleasure to work with.
Thanks to Brian I just closed on my first home, and I couldn't be happier. Being a first time homebuyer, Brian was extremely patient with answering all of my questions. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend him without hesitation.
Brian was very helpful and knowledgeable with the help of finding our dream home that we love and knowing we we were from Michigan he was very understanding and patient w us:)
I live in Florida, but wanted to move back home to Mn. Wow!- did I luck out with this guy. Zoom, I am a new homeowner in about 45 days. Brian told me that he worked for me and he kept his word. Being out of state we had to do everything by phone, fax, text and email. But he gotta it all done efficiently. I found the perfect twin home to suit my needs. I even got close to my son. I couldn't have asked for a better qualified, kind, respectful or prompt person. Thanks to Brian, I'll be home for Christmas.
