ALEXMN.COM BY CRAIG MISCHE

A dream that would not have been realized without the help of our realtor, Craig Mische. I grew up in the cities, but now live in Colorado, so we knew finding the right lake property in the Alexandria area was not going to be easy. We relied heavy on the internet and Craig made this easy for us. If it wasn't for Craig's availability and computer savvy we'd still be blindly searching website after website. Now we are set with our own little piece of Minnesota on Lake Victoria. Thanks Craig for helping us make our dreams come true!!!

He understands the market; home values; and area lakes in terms of quality, market value, etc very well. He could always be counted on for timely and accurate information. He patiently walked us through the entire process. Craig was a true partner that added significant value beyond just referencing the MLS listings. He consulted with us on many other items including boats/etc, home furnishings, area utilities/goods/services, things to do in the Alex area, etc. Perhaps most importantly, we feel we got a very fair deal with Craig's guidance in terms of negotiating and settling on the final purchase price. We would highly recommend Craig to anybody in need of a real estate agent in the Alexandria area.

During that time we did not receive one offer with very little communication, we felt as though the other agent was too busy to pay attention to the details that we needed in order to sell the home quickly. Within a couple of months of hiring Craig the home was sold!!! ANYONE looking to sell their home quickly and effortlessly should definitely list with Craig. Thank you Craig for going the extra mile for us!

He helped us sell and buy when we lived in Alexandria. Craig is professional and meticulous in all he does; he does not miss a detail. I especially appreciate his knowledge of current design trends and his brilliant marketing ideas.

Throughout the process Craig was attentive, prompt, and knowledgable regarding the Alexandria Lakes area. What I appreciated the most, however, was that I felt I could trust Craig’s word and opinion. As first time home buyers, this confidence was extremely valuable and enabled us to find the property that fit our needs both in the present and in the future. I will continue to give Craig my highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy a home in the area.

We worked with Craig for over on two properties! He was responsive and extremely knowledgeable throughout the process. I would not bother working with anyone else.

He had a beautiful video made of the property and home and we have been very happy with the showings. Although we have not sold, it is definitely not Craig's fault, as he has worked very hard to get that done. Would recommend Craig Mische as a TOP Realtor, friendly and professional and he always stays in contact with you! Great guy to know, whether you are selling or buying.

Craig is the most responsive real estate professional I have ever encountered. His extensive history of lake properties in the Douglas County area easily sets him apart from other real estate agents/brokers. When evaluating properties he provided solid facts and items to consider and allowed us to make decisions on what mattered most to us vs clouding our decisions with his opinions. Truly and educator in the process which will lead greater buying satisfaction. We would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell in the Douglas County area (especially for lakeshore) contact Craig first!

We would always go to Craig Mische’s website because it was so user friendly, up-to-date and had great pictures. My husband and I were looking at purchasing a lake home this past year. One day, I emailed Craig a question and within minutes I was on the phone with him. He showed us several homes and we were so impressed with his knowledge of each home. He went above and beyond in finding out answers for us. Craig lined up other families to email us with their thoughts about Lake Victoria. He even sent us aerial pictures of our “future” home and the lake. We purchased our home in May and absolutely love the lake and the area. Craig was there for us each and every step in purchasing this home. We were so impressed with his down-to-earth personality, his professionalism and his attention to detail. Plus, he was available for us following the purchase to get to know the area. Craig – We loved working with you! Thanks for selling us such a beautiful lake home in Alexandria.

My wife and I knew what we wanted but Craig was very upfront in setting expectations with us on what our budget could afford. We were very appreciative of his honesty and integrity of of finding a cabin that we could fit in our budget and still enjoy. Living in the Twin Cities it is difficult to look for properties, Craig helped to make that easy for us and his knowledge and understanding of the area was a great value. Great follow through, professionalism and attention to detail. I would recommend Craig to anyone interested in purchasing a home or cabin in the area.

We appreciated your help when we needed it, the way you kept us informed (without being aggressive), your patience, professionalism, the way you walked us through the closing process...it was a wonderful way to approach the whole process.

He has a lot of great ideas and has put our listing in places and on websites that I never even knew existed. I also really like the fact that he always responds to calls and e-mails very quickly and is always happy to answer any questions that I may have. I highly recommend that people should contact Craig if they are looking for or selling a home.

Craig Mische helped us define our needs, identified candidate properties that focused on those needs without wasting time looking at every property in the state, and researched salient information pertinent to our making the best choice possible. He helped us find multiple sources of financing so we could negotiate from a position of strength. Finally, he worked the details to ensure the "deal got done" without issues or problems. No job too big - no detail too small! Craig will be our first choice for realtor when next we sell or buy property in the region.

He did not pressure us at all. He was very knowledgable of the market, and gave us very useful suggestions.Our experience with him was great. I highly recommend Craig.

He didn’t need to, but without any benefit to himself he helped me find a lifetime cabin rental within a mile of the resort where I grew up in Alex. I go to his website to dream about the day that I will have a cabin on Le Homme Dieu. He aerial videos are cool and really give you a perspective that you cannot get even by visiting the listings in person. He frequently updates his site and I look forward to viewing his many very RELAXING videos while a immerse myself in the nostalgia of my hometown. I also love the webcam on Broadway and 3rd. Its super corny, but it relaxes me in my big city life to see the wonderful pace of Alex and watch the weather change. PLEASE keep the videos coming, I bet there are other lurkers out there… Seriously, Thanks Craig.

He went the extra mile to make my purchase happen. Craig explained with clarity any part of the experience I did not understand. I purchased my home while living out of state, without first seeing the home. I was able to this because I had an agent who I trust. I will never deal with anyone else & highly recommend Craig to any of my friends.
