" (Airline Pilot for a Major Airline) “I’d like to take this moment to recognize and recommend our realtors Dan and Nancy Schouveller. Years ago they helped us purchase our first starter home, and most recently helped us sell that home as well as purchase our dream home. I don’t normally go out of my way to write recommendations, but feel strongly that others would benefit from sharing our experience. Dan wasn’t about trying to sell us just any house, or pressure us to accept a low-ball offer on our house for sale – he truly acted with our best interest in mind. Simply put, we felt that we could trust him. Real estate is Dan’s passion, and it shows. When selling our home, he closed the deal on an offer that was tens of thousands more for our home than we imagined we’d get. When purchasing our new home, there was no pressure whatsoever to buy at the upper end of our price range. They did a superb job showing us homes that met the criteria we were looking for. Dan was responsive to phone calls/emails/texts on an almost 24/7 basis – often responding immediately or within 15 minutes. He is punctual and respects your time. Mr. Schouveller and his wife/real estate partner, Nancy Schouveller offer a unique perspective to their clients. Dan is a “tell it as it is” kinda guy, and an expert negotiator, He’s also an expert in showing homes and presenting issues (if there are any) in the house he’s showing. Truly, he’s looking for the right home for you at the best deal possible. Nancy helped us with great remodeling and staging ideas when it came time to sell our home. She also is a wealth of knowledge and advice when it came to things that would be nice for our “dream home”. Her experience as a mother and home owner helped shape our ideas of what we’d want in a home that we plan to raise our family in. One of the first things you’ll notice about Mr. Schouveller and his warm-heartedness and genuine demeanor; his positive personality draws people to him. I believe those looking to buy or sell their home would benefit greatly from this very professional and knowledgeable realtor and most importantly a person with integrity, knowledge, and sound work ethic. My wife and I will continue to refer friends and family to Dan and Nancy Schouveller, these are the kind of people you want by your side. They get the job done, and do so in a way that makes you feel empowered. I continue to give them my highest recommendation”. Thank you Dan and Nancy! "

- Mike

" I was lucky enough to meet Dan & Nancy through coaching their son in sports. Dan handled the sale of our house and helped us find our new home. Nancy helped out with the staging of our old house so that it presented well. Our house sold with 10 days of listing for what we were asking. Dan was honest and straightforward with his assessment of our real estate situation. I believe that is critical in a purchase of this magnitude. I trust Dan and I know that Nancy will do outstanding work as an agent too. They are not only our realtors, they are our valued friends. "

- Steve and Kelly

" Nancy was very helpful and organized. She knew exactly what we needed and wanted. The house search was very simple because she picked out the best ones. Every step was a breeze with the help of Nancy. Definitely would be contacting her again once we are ready to upgrade "

- McKenzie and Gage

" Dan and Nancy were extremely helpful and supportive during the sale of our home. Dan listed our house, helped us work through some complications with our home and kept us calm and focused throughout the sale process. This is the second time that we have used Dan and Nancy to purchase a home and we cannot speak enough about the care and attention that they gave to us. When looking at homes, Dan and Nancy cared only about making sure we found the right home for us and never once pressured us to buy a home that we were not 100% comfortable with. Dan and Nancy worked extremely hard to get us the best deal for the house we sold while also making sure that we got the house we purchased for a fair market price. "

- Jake and Kristin

" Nancy and Dan worked as a team to help us attain our dream home! They took the time to get to know our personalities and were therefore successful at finding us what we were looking for in a home. We appreciated their knowledge, experience, fun personalities, and most of all, that they made the home shopping experience enjoyable, rather than stressful. Each offered a unique perspective, and we feel that we received two great realtors for the price of one! "

- Amber and Chris

" The best part about working with Dan is that he made me feel like I was his top priority. I could call, text or email him at any time and I would get a response right away. He worked with me on purchasing a home, then getting mine up for sale, and selling it. I felt he was highly skilled in every process from beginning to end. He went over the inspection for our new home with us and helped us determine which items we should ask to be fixed, corrected, etc. He gave me some great referrals for the person that did the inspection and someone who put new windows in my current home. Everyone I have come in contact with through this process has met and went beyond my expectations. We were very pleased. "

- Sandy

" Dan is very professional, very responsive, any time of the day or week/weekend I reached out to Dan about anything I had a response back in minutes. Extremely knowledgeable about the market and homes (structure, value, etc). I have used Dan twice in purchasing homes and have recommended him to my daughter and son-in-law when they purchased their home. "

- Kristi

" Dan and Nancy are amazing! I don't think they expected what they ended up getting when they agreed to be our realtors. We have a family of 9 (5 adults and 4 children). They first came in and let us know what to do to get our house ready and get the most money for it. They periodically checked in with us and were always available for questions along the way. It all happened like they said it would. We got our house on the market and it sold right away. Then came the hard work for them. You can only imagine trying to find the right house (and price) for a family of our size, yes not easy. But Dan and Nancy showed great compassion, understanding and lots of patience. They showed us 40 plus homes until we found just the right one. They were amazing with my children and included them in along the entire way. I would highly recommend Dan and Nancy as your realtor because they're not just your realtor. They become your family, as they are now part of ours. "

- Patricia Thoele-Weirach

" I had a wonderful experience with Dan and Nancy Schouveller. They were very knowledgeable and walked me through each step in buying my first home. They were very responsive whenever I needed to get in contact with them. I have already recommended them to a few people who might be buying their first home in the near future. "

- Haley

" It was an absolute pleasure working with Nancy and Dan Schouveller! These two are a power duo who go above and beyond for their clients! They are patient, knowledgeable, understanding, driven, and most of all honest. Dan and Nancy have a strong moral obligation to their clients and to themselves. As a first time home buyer they helped us understand and navigate this crazy world of real estate. We were anticipating bidding on a home that had some questionable issues. Dan and Nancy were asked on the spot if they would recommend a home in this condition for their own son, they both responded...nope. It presented with too many issues and was a giant money drain. This was extremely important to me as we were in a very very tough market. It would have been much easier for them to push this house so they could collect a check and be done. However, they treated this situation as if we were their own kids buying a home, and genuinely wanted the best for us. "

- Shawn

" I recently purchased a home from Dan. I certainly had no idea on how to buy a home but Dan made the process easy. I stumbled upon issues with my loan with a previous loan officer but he was able to connect me with the right people who worked day and night to get me a home. He did an amazing job with informing me every detail. I am so thankful for Dan and Nancy for doing an amazing job! I highly recommend them. These people are passionate about what they do. "

- Angela

" We had the pleasure of working with Dan and Nancy. They have a wonderful work ethic and are honest and up front. They kept us in the loop every step of the way and were always available when we needed them. Buying a home is always stressful and to top it off we had a very tight time line because of an unfortunate situation we were put in personally – but Dan and Nan-cy were right there to make sure we closed in a timely fashion and were able to get into our new home. They go above and beyond and are very knowledgeable in what they do. We would highly recommend them. "

- Scott and Danielle

" Dan and Nancy are an awesome team! Dan kept me up to date on everything that was happening and negotiated with several builders due to the fact that my parent’s house was a tear down. Nancy and Dan drove all over MN from one side to the other to get signatures and paperwork filled out in a timely manner. They were both very diligent when filling out the necessary doc-uments and made sure that I and my family were protected in every way. They double and triple checked everything for accu-racy and are very honest and fair people!! I originally had a different realtor in the beginning and the house sat on the market for months, I hired this dynamic duo and they not only got things rolling immediately, but got us top dollar too! They were so pleasant to work with! "

- Bonnie and Matt

" Nancy and Dan went above and beyond to sell the land I inherited from my Father. Before Nancy and Dan, I had it listed with another company for 3 yrs or so with no luck or hope. Nancy and Dan stepped on board, did a ton of advertising and when dealing with interested parties really took the time to give them all the needed information they requested. "

- Christine

" We had been told that you just tell Nancy and Dan what you are looking for and they will do all the “leg work”. We found our new place within a week and had hoped to close right away given it was a cash deal. Turned out there was all kinds of complications due to a lack of transparency on the sellers part. Dan hung in there for us, held his (our) ground and completed the sale much to our satisfaction. Thank you, Dan and Nancy, for all the hard work! "

- Gary

" We cannot imagine a better team to work with on the purchase of our first home! Nancy was absolutely amazing from day 1 - Upon our first meeting, we were provided with a folder full of information; she walked us through all the steps so we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way. Nancy always made herself available; very responsive to email & text. She was very prompt in setting up showings so we wouldn’t miss out on any opportunity. She came prepared to every showing with additional information on the property & followed up on any additional questions we had. Nancy and her husband Dan make such an awesome real estate team! They truly treated us like family, and we were confident they always had our best interests in mind. Nancy even went out of her way to complete/receive her WI licensing knowing western WI was on our radar! In the end, she got us into our dream home...in WI! We highly recommend Nancy (& Dan), and we look forward to a continued relationship! "

- Eric and Alyssa

" I had a wonderful experience with both Dan & Nancy. They both had my best interests at heart. They sold my previous home in just 8 days and they spent endless hours finding my perfect patio home. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell or purchase a home. Thanks, guys. "

- Jane

" Working with Dan and Nancy has been a pleasure. They are very professional and knowledgeable. They do a terrific job at keeping you informed along the way. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a Real Estate Professional. "

- Kevin

" I worked with Dan and Nancy on the sale of my sisters home. Although the process was not an easy one, they were there working through it with me every step of the way. When there were some setbacks, they were professional and consistent in working through them all. I would recommend working with them. "

- Cathy

" My wife and I worked with Dan when we moved to the cities last year. He was friendly, professional, a pleasure to work with, and very flexible in scheduling. Instead of simply sending us a list of homes that met a certain criteria, he took the time to personally hand-pick homes then he would then send over. Much more personal than other realtors that simply wait until you call them with something their automated system sent out. We found our house on our first house hunting trip and closed within a couple of months. Many thanks to Dan for his help on finding us a great home. "

- Erik and Monica

" We have worked with Dan twice. He is honest, upfront, kind and willing to do what-ever it takes to provide you with the best experience possible. We had a closing issue and our mortgage broker was out of town so Dan took it upon himself to call our mortgage company and get things figured out so that we could still close on time. "

- Shannon

" Nancy is very knowledgeable about the purchase process in the Twin Cities area and I would be happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a great realtor. Dan and Nancy were very responsive to my needs and really listened to me and what I was looking for. Dan was also very knowledgeable about construction and I trusted when he said a house was well built or not. I would definitely work with Dan and Nancy again in the future . "

- Eldree

" Dan and Nancy are a fantastic team! They went above and beyond to help me buy my first home. I greatly appreciated all of their help as we went through the entire process. They were patient and kind as different things came up, and made sure that we got it done! I would recommend this team to anyone who is looking to buy a home. "

- Erika

" My husband and I used Team Schouz to sell our home and help us find a new home. Dan and Nancy are very easy and fun to work with. They made the process as stress free as possible and were always very quick to answer back any questions we had. Our house sold after only four days on the market. At the request of our buyer, we had a very quick closing date and Team Schouz was very helpful in finding us a new home quickly and helping out with all the logistics of closing on two homes back to back. I highly recommend using them for your realty needs. "

- Amy

" Dan and Nancy were just the right agents for us. They were very interested in who we were and our needs. Very efficient and professional. With a very personal touch. With good common sense to help through all the paper work. The selling price they suggested is the price we received. Very accurate. Not leading u on by promises of big money. We enjoyed our experience with them. "

- Mary Jo

" Dan and Nancy Schouveller are wonderful real estate agents! They truly had our best interests at heart. With their great listening skills, knowledge and passion they quickly found us exactly what we wanted and needed for our new home! We love it! Dan and Nancy listed our home with expertise which afforded us the luxury of a profitable and fair market value for our home. It sold in one day! They responded quickly to any questions we had... which at times were many! You couldn't find a nicer, more trust worthy couple to work with, which made our experience wonderful! Thank you Dan and Nancy! "

- Mary and Chuck

" This was our second time working with Nancy and Dan, this time to sell our first home and buy our second home. They were knowledgeable, prompt, and responsive. When we ran into a setback with the sale of our home, Dan and Nancy helped to keep us calm and guided us through it with aplomb and professionalism. We are settling into our new home, and we have Dan and Nancy to thank for helping us into this next grand adventure!" "

- Kelsey & Albert

" Dan and awesome guy! He will go out of his way to get the job done. He is honest and trustworthy. His wife and him make a great team! They showed me a few houses and even though we spend a little extra time on them they were there for us and helped us make the right choice. "

- Alan

" This is our second and third time using Dan and Nancy (sold and bought a home at the same time). Dan is not like most realtors who typically set up a generic search and let you weed through the hundreds of results. Dan and Nancy specifically seek out properties that meet your criteria and send you individual listings for you to review. Once you decide which properties you would like to see they give you honest feedback on what they think of the homes. They put your own interests and priorities first, not their own. Their availability is second to none. When we sold my house we had an offer within 2 days of putting it on the market. This means we had to move very quickly to find a new property to buy. With Dan and Nancy's help we had not only sold our home, but had an accepted offer on our new home within a couple of weeks. Overall I highly recommend Team Schouz for all your real estate needs in and around the Twin Cities. I will be a client of theirs for as long as I live in the area. Two thumbs up!! "

- Erik and Monica

" Nancy was great to work with and made finding a house fast and easy. She listened to what we wanted and only showed us houses that fit our description. She always responded same day and was great at communicating! I would definitely recommend her as she made buying a house exciting and easy. Very very happy with the home that we found. "

- Dave

" Bought a single family home in 2016 for approximately $275K in Diamond Lake, Minneapolis. Dan and Nancy were so great to work with! We were purchasing our first home and had a lot of questions, but they were patient and calm throughout the whole process. After just one meeting with them, we could tell they had a good sense of what we were looking for in a home and were determined to help us find the best fit. They had a great understanding of the areas where we were hoping to buy, including school district information. When we had questions via email or phone, they were quick and thorough in their response. Once we put an offer on our home, they walked us through the process and were helpful in negotiations - firm, confident, and calm. We really enjoyed visiting homes with them and are excited to pass their information along to friends who are also house hunting. Thanks for your GREAT service! "

- Matt and Sara

" I was the seller in a nontraditional sale to a family member. It was a very unusual sale but Nancy and Dan walked me through it every step of the way. They are very knowledgeable and made what could have been a nightmare so easy. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. "
