Denel Ihde-Sparks

I was born and raised just outside of Rochester, and I've had the privilege of watching Southeastern Minnesota grow into one of the Midwest's most sought-after places to live. As a REALTOR(R) with RE/MAX Results and leader of Rochester's #1 Small Team (REAL Trends), I bring more than 25 years of trusted experience to every transaction - along with a deep love for the community I call home. Having raised my family here, I know Rochester's neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle on a personal level. I specialize in residential real estate, with a focus on new construction and relocation, and I love helping clients plant new roots in this wonderful region. My clients know me for being honest, detail-oriented, and a strong negotiator, and I'm proud of the recognition I've received along the way - from being named to REAL Trends' America's Best Real Estate Agents year after year since 2015, to earning 5-Star Zillow reviews, to being honored with the RE/MAX Diamond Club and Hall of Fame. I also stay active in the industry as a panelist on the Minnesota and Southeast Minnesota Association Boards of Ethics and Professional Standards. Whether you're buying, selling, or building from the ground up, I'll be your advocate, guide, and biggest supporter every step of the way. My commitment is simple: to make your move in Rochester or Southeastern Minnesota not just successful, but truly rewarding. At home, I live in Rochester with my husband, Shawn. We're proud parents of three grown children and recently became grandparents - one of life's greatest joys. When I'm not working, you'll often find me spending time with family, traveling, or out on the golf course.
