Recognized as Twin Cities "Super Real Estate Agents" by Mpls./St. Paul Magazine and Twin Cities Business Monthly every year since 2005 (an honor awarded to fewer than 6% of Minnesota REALTORS®), John and Melanie are known for their professionalism, integrity, and results. More than 80% of their annual business comes from past clients and referrals, a testament to the lifelong relationships they build. Unlike larger real estate teams where clients are handed off to multiple agents, John and Melanie work directly with you from start to finish, providing personalized guidance through every step of the buying or selling process. They believe communication is the key--and whether you're data-driven or more relationship-focused, their proven results and client-first approach ensure a seamless experience. Their advanced credentials include CRS, GRI, C2EX, e-Pro, ABR, RSPS, SRES, Edina Realty's Residential Investment Specialist, and Exceptional Properties designations--offering clients unmatched knowledge in residential, relocation, luxury, and investment real estate. They are relocation certified and frequently assist homeowners moving into or out of Minnesota, ensuring smooth transitions. In addition, they have extensive experience with 1031 exchanges, selling luxury properties, and helping families navigate the sale of estates, providing both expertise and compassionate guidance during complex transactions. Melanie has also appeared on the HGTV show House Hunters, showcasing her expertise and insight in real estate on a national platform. John is a U.S. Army veteran who served in the 101st Airborne Division during Operation Desert Shield/Storm and continues to proudly serve military families navigating the home buying and selling process. Melanie and John are lifelong Minnesotans, raising their three children in Eagan, where they remain active in local schools, youth sports, church, and community programs. They also own and manage rental properties in the Twin Cities, providing clients with firsthand investment expertise. Whether you're buying your first home, relocating, downsizing, investing, completing a 1031 exchange, selling luxury real estate, or managing the sale of an estate, The Willy Team combines experience, education, and genuine care to deliver the results you need.
