“Ryan provided such a wonderful real estate experience for us which all started at the early stages of planning prior to listing our White Bear Lake, MN home. During the early planning stages Ryan provided recommendations and offered guidance to market our home in this unique real estate market. After a few months of planning we listed our home with Ryan and it SOLD in just a couple days. During this time we still had not found our next home to purchase. Within a short period of time and with Ryan's large network we were notified of a new listing coming up. In a matter of a couple days we had signed and had a closing date on our NEW home that we plan to raise our family in. Ryan's truly responsible for making our experience so positive and stress free. Since closing we have recommended Ryan to friends and family. If you are looking for a top-notch real estate professional I would recommended looking no further and start your own experience with him.”

“I purchased my first home with the help of Heather Warner. From a quick google search of realators specializing in first time homebuyers I found the Barker Hedges team which led me to Heather. Leaning heavily on her experience I had unwavering faith in her to provide valuable consultation in all aspects of the house buying process. Strongly reccomend Heather to any homebuyers. She simplified the process for me tremedously and will was extremely honest in the house touring process. She will be a strong voice for you communicating at a very high level.”
