What our Customers are Saying
"I have been thoroughly impressed with your property management service and will most certainly recommend you to others in the Twin Cities. You've made the rental of our home quite easy and we appreciate it."
"Thank you so much for all of your help over the past few years. Jeff and I have lived in a lot of rentals, but you were the best landlord! Thanks again for everything!"
"I've been using Tradewind Properties for about five years. I used them for renting out properties I own, and for buying properties and for selling properties too. My experience with them has always been great."
"I was new to leasing out my house. They were very helpful to me and answered my questions throughout the process. Also very accommodating to my specific situation."
"We hired Tradewind Properties 3 years ago and we live in California now. For those 3 years, we have only been without a renter for 15 days."
"I want to express how pleased I am that I ran across your company on Craigslist when looking for a rental home in a new city. Everyone has been so pleasant and has responded immediately to all of my questions and concerns. They all went above and beyond to make sure things were all in line for me to move in and it has really been stress free, which has not been my experience with past moves...so I really appreciate everyone I've worked with at your company and all of their hard work. I look forward to renting with you for as long as I'm in Minnesota. Thank You."
"Great to work with!! My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers and purchased a house through Tradewind Properties. They were very professional and we enjoyed working with them. They were responsive to our questions, timely in giving us searches to review, and helped us make our own decisions without any pressure. I was personally impressed when we were looking at a house and Jessica noticed a fan was on to drown out the traffic noise which the seller turned on for the showing. Things like that we wouldn't have thought about without their help, especially being first time home buyers! So we would and have recommended them to others looking to buy a home. Thanks Jessica and Brandon!"
