I worked with Joel Oakland to purchase my brand new townhouse. Joel is a great realtor I would highly recommend even to my Mom ;). He is experienced, super knowledgeable of the market/property values, patient, not pushy, always calm and he listens! Joel is not pushy as he wants his clients to feel comfortable, heard and completely comfortable with their purchase. It took me on and off 5 years...

I have worked with Joel on two separate occasions. He helped me find and purchase my first home several years ago, and recently helped me sell that home and purchase a new construction home. Joel and the team at NOW Realty did an amazing job helping us prepare and stage our home for sale, working with us on the pricing strategy during a difficult market, and ultimately selling our home in a t...

I have worked with Joel each time we have sold or purchased homes over the past 10 years. He has always been very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the Maple Grove area, neighborhood comps, and what the key selling points are for the home.

There isn't enough room in this box to describe how wonderful Joel Oakland is. He went above and beyond and I'll never forget our first time home buyer experience. I've heard horrid stories but not with Joel! He not only allowed us to find our perfect home, he continued to check on us long after the sale was final! Overall A+ thanks Joel!

-Matt B.

We have worked with Joel on each home we have bought (3) and sold (2) over the last 15 years, and could not ask for a better realtor. He listens to our needs and has always been able to deliver. His knowledge and expertise he lent in marketing our homes, along with his experience and patience helping us find our perfect home are exactly why we have worked with him over and over again. His ama...

I give the professionals at Necklen & Oakland my highest recommendation. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in the Twin Cities...hire the best team. They fully understand what it takes to sell your home and advise you through every step. I sold my House the very first day it was listed. They also helped me through the entire closing process.

-Telle M.

Extremely responsive, attentive, organized...a pleasure to work with!
