Chuck did an outstanding job in guiding us through the process of buying our first home. He is genuine and very knowledgeable. He was very patient as we were new to home buying and looked at many properties. We will definitely be contacting him in the future if we need his help in the real estate field!

When I first met with Chuck to discuss buying my first home, I was very honest upfront. I let him know that I would like to learn about my local market, see a lot of homes, and overall, gain some experience with this whole process before we started bidding on houses. Chuck didn’t bat an eye at my request. So, we saw homes…and saw homes…and saw homes. Roughly sixty of them, in fact. We went to every first-ring suburb you can think of and several neighborhoods in the Twin Cities. He taught me all about why the age of stucco siding mattered and how to find the year a water heater was put in. He didn’t just take my request to learn seriously – he also prioritized me at the same level as an active buyer.

Three months and nearly sixty houses later, it was time to get serious. Due to some personal reasons, I was taking a short break from our regularly scheduled showings, but Chuck told me to call him if there was a house I wanted to see. I did…about two days later. We got in to see the house the next day. We were under contract by the weekend and closed about three weeks later.

While I can’t always guarantee you’ll get the house on the first try, I can guarantee you will have set yourself up with the best possible chance at success with Chuck as your realtor. He is knowledgeable, meticulous, and perhaps most importantly, personable to both you and the seller or buyer you’re trying to woo. Chuck is also transparent and honest. For a bit during my inspection period, the sale looked rocky. Instead of trying to convince me to buy the house anyway, Chuck said he would support me if I wanted to walk away. I can rave on and on about this guy, but I’ll leave it at this: he is the first realtor I will call when I need to sell or buy again.

We cannot say enough great things about Chuck & team. I reached out to Chuck to take over from an ineffective agent and a pretty bad experience. Within days of connecting with Chuck, I met almost the entire Guardians team and had a full staging, prep, media, and listing plan. The services Chuck provides, and the quality of his professional network is unmatched – everyone from the photographer to the drone operator to the videographer and the marketing assistant, etc., are at the top of their game and clearly communicate time needs and what they need to be successful (and ultimately sell your house quickly). Selling your home is disruptive and complex and Chuck was an ideal leader and partner to manage the chaos, emotions, and logistics of our end-to-end real estate transaction. My home was a unique offering with advanced technology but in an older, somewhat stale neighborhood and Chuck took the time to understand the rare technologies and present our home as the gem it was. He is a dream to work with!

My fiancé and came to Chuck as complete real estate novices. He was recommended to us by a coworker. Chuck took the time to understand what we were looking for and provided guidance along the way. He provided helpful insights as our criteria and preferences evolved over the process and showed us more than 30 homes. We will certainly work with him again and will recommend him to others.

Based on a referral from friends, I first engaged Chuck in 2008 to help me sell my townhome (unfortunately when prices / values had dropped and it was a buyers market) and buy my single family home in Eagle Valley. Throughout the sale process, Chuck explained the pros and cons of offers I received, based on the current market conditions and what I was looking for in my next home. Chuck displayed empathy and encouragement to help me make informed decisions that led to the home I lived in until 2023.

Naturally, when I decided to move overseas permanently, I turned to Chuck to help me market and sell my Eagle Vally home. Chuck presented me a market analysis in the summer of 2022 and shared his insights into what movements were expected in house values and interest rates over the coming 6-12 months. This helped me gain a realistic vision for listing price and timing. Given I was going to list in February, Chuck organized window and exterior cleaning in the late summer so we could get photos and drone shots before the snowfall. It certainly makes a difference to what potential buyers first see in print or online for a winter listing! Chuck has a team of friendly professionals to help you get “listing ready” and they went above and beyond helping me stage and clean my house and then collaborate with my friends to donate / sell remaining items after I had flown overseas.

Chuck is a friendly, responsive, reliable real estate professional with a great sense of humour who takes immense pride in his work, his team, and his client relationships. I highly recommend working with Chuck!

The Chuck Eckberg Group has been a wonderful experience for my wife and I. After first meeting with Chuck and discovering the kind of individual he is, we were both set on who would represent us. His style, integrity and concern were such a pleasant surprise. Chuck's group enabled us to focus on our specific style of home and was very discriminating on their choices. When all was complete, we closed on the house of our dreams.

We chose the Chuck Eckberg Group because our family recommended him after working with him on multiple occasions and we could not be happier with our choice. Chuck works harder for what his clients want than anyone we have ever met. As first time buyers, Chuck was phenomenal at answering our questions, explaining all parts of the complicated process in easy to understand ways, and making us feel comfortable every step of the way. Our favorite thing about Chuck was his honesty and integrity through the entire process and the value he put in working as hard as he could for our best interest. He brought in various inspectors and worked extremely well with the listing agent to get us our dream home. We definitely recommend working with Chuck and will most certainly work with him again.

We have known Chuck since growing up together in Stillwater and our extended family has worked with him during the past 20 years buying and selling their homes. There was no question, based on our personal and professional experiences with Chuck, that he was the person to call when the time came to sell our home of 29 years. He is warm, friendly, and passionate about customer care.
From the start of the process (8 months before going on the market), Chuck was available to meet, advise, and guide us through the process of preparing for and selling our home.
Chuck is trustworthy, communicating transparently about the current and changing real estate market and how we could make our house even more appealing to buyers. He provided a stager who offered great ideas and a window washing service to really make the place shine.
Chuck was a rock for us during an emotional time: answering questions, reassuring, explaining, and advocating for us during the sale of our home.
We highly recommend Chuck!

I was referred to Chuck and I am very grateful that I was, as he was wonderful to work with. He listened to what I wanted and knew the area very well. I was able to explore new parts of the cities and find areas I really liked that I never knew of before. I was a first time home buyer, so I was a bit stressed about the process, but Chuck knew the information to all my questions and made the process very smooth. He had information on all the homes we went to and was ready to go every time. And his negotiation skills are top-notch! I could not have been happier with how it all worked out, I am so excited for my new home. Also, he is an all around good person and kind! I would highly recommend working with Chuck, and I would be happy to do so again. I cannot thank him enough for everything!

I met Chuck through my friend who had worked with him before to buy a house and spoke highly of him. When I first met him, immediately I knew we would work together well as a team. During my 1st meeting with Chuck, since I was in town for a short time and I was planning to fly back soon, Chuck made himself available based on my schedule. During the same meeting, instead of having me sign a bunch of papers before sharing any information, Chuck laid out all his cards on the table and gave me a lot of background information into housing market, the mortgage rates, the details of the process especially for first time home buyers, process when buying a newly constructed home from a builder vs. buying an existing home. During follow-ups on the initial conversation, he was always available on call and email to answer any questions. Given we were new to the area, Chuck made us feel welcome and helped us familiarize ourselves with the area. During the actual house hunting process, whenever we shared some listings of interest, Chuck would add few more similar listings based on what we had selected and would have us visit those houses as well. He also showed us nuances of “inspecting” the house before considering putting an offer. During the offer, Chuck negotiated well on our behalf. And Noah and Chuck helped us with some of the details during the closing process. Even after closing on the house, Chuck assured us that we can reach out to him at any time with any concern and that we continue to remain friends. I know he continues to stay in touch with his other clients too.
Chuck is very easy to work with and he understands the preferences of his clients quickly even when they may not state all their requirements explicitly. We highly recommend working with Chuck and we will work with him again with regards to any real-estate matters in the twin-cities area.

It was a pleasure working with Chuck Eckberg – he helped our family buy and sell a home all within a month! Theresa and I were first introduced to Chuck through family members who he helped with buying/selling their homes. When we first met Chuck, we were immediately impressed by his professionalism and knowledge of the housing market, but even more so impressed by his attentiveness and kind nature. He helped assess where we were in terms of what was possible for selling and buying a house, even before we agreed to sign on with his team. He was incredibly supportive of our goals, and helpful with explaining what the current market was like and how quickly we could buy and sell. Chuck and his team worked diligently with us on getting our home ready to sell and was always on call when we had questions or wanted to check out a listing. Chuck’s team included Noah Thompson and Justine Frischmon (owner of Nested Home Staging and Styling) – all of them went above and beyond to help us get our home ready to list and stage to impress potential buyers. Buying and selling was so easy and enjoyable with Chuck and we definitely recommend working with him. We will certainly work with Chuck again.

Once you get to know him, you will come to realize Chuck brings considerable experience and creativity to solve all those crazy issues that invariably arise when working in the real estate market. The biggest plus though is that he listens to you. He actively wants to know what your goals are. Then, once he knows what you need, he helps you see the possibilities and the pitfalls. He is realistic and yet helps you not get discouraged because he knows the numbers, the area and what you are looking for. He juggles a lot, wears a lot of different hats and always keeps the goal in mind.
For me, my “Ah Ha” moment came when I figured I wouldn’t see him again until the closing because….well, his job, as I knew it, was done. Actually, Chuck is the kind of person who doesn’t stop working for you just because his job is done. He is always checking to make sure you are navigating the WHOLE process of buying or selling.
This became really clear to me when I discovered he had been a driving force behind my stalled mortgage process. He apparently had kept checking my mortgage progress to make sure they were moving forward in a timely manner. And when that wasn’t happening, he pushed just the right amount to make it happen. We were all able to close on time.
Chuck is knowledgeable, creative, goal driven, fun and best of all, he is genuine.

Chuck has been used as a realtor in the family for 2 previous transactions, and now it was my turn. I knew from the beginning that Chuck would have my best interest in mind simply based on his principles and values, both personally and professionally.

The listing of my home stress-free, which included Chuck’s staging expert, Justine, complementary window washers, his flooring contact and mass network of buyers and realtors. He knew exactly how to get the home ready for the market, which saved me time, money, and stress.

When looking for a new home, Chuck’s knowledge ranged from A to Z… and more! I was so pleased with his ability to answer any and every question I had. Throughout the entire process, I can assure you he put my best interest first.

A review can only do so much justice to Chuck's level of service and representation. I went into this process looking for a realtor and came out with a trusted friend for life.

We were referred to Chuck by a colleague upon our relocation to Minnesota. We purchased our previous home quite a few years ago, so Chuck was great in getting us caught up to speed on this new market landscape and answered all of our questions.

He helped us find a great home and we would highly recommend working with him and his team. Thank you, Chuck!

We met Chuck when our kids played youth sports together and have been friends for almost 20 years. He is smart, caring, friendly, professional, trustworthy and very hard working. We were considering selling our home for the past year and were looking for guidance on the best time to list our home at the best price. We met with Chuck and a couple of other realtors for their advice and to evaluate their services. Chuck stood out from the rest. He listened to our needs, exemplified great insight and knowledge of the market and presented us with a comprehensive marketing plan. Once we made the decision to sell, Chuck and his team engaged quickly. Within 2 weeks they had our windows professionally cleaned, staged our home, created virtual tours, took aerial and traditional photos, established a timeline for showings, open houses, and offer deadlines. Chuck and his team created a great personalized video of our home. His marketing skills are second to none. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Chuck and his team. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process and we highly recommend Chuck if you are looking to buy or selling your home. Bob & Kristi

We were referred to Chuck in early April 2022 as we explored options on how to sell our home. We knew we could sell it on our own, however, after meeting Chuck, we knew he could add tremendous value. Chuck is smart, responsive, kind and fun to work with. He did an amazing job highlighting the unique qualities of our humble home. He is an expert marketer and has an amazing team that leverages tools and technology to showcase our home. We received several offers over asking price and we are incredibly pleased with the final outcome. Chuck is a great realtor and a new friend. We highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. Carol and Dan

Chuck just helped my husband and I buy our first home and I can't recommend him enough, whether it's your first time buying a house or your 10th! He is kind and knows his stuff, and will always tell you an honest opinion. You will never feel the slimy realtor vibe from Chuck, instead you'll find a genuine guide to help you through each step of the process.

It's not just obvious from the experience YOU get from him that he's one of the best realtors in the Twin Cities -- you'll know it from the interactions you get with any third parties through the buying process. Inspectors, other realtors, contractors -- they'll all enjoy working with Chuck.

I would highly recommend working with Chuck whether you're buying or selling!

We were introduced to Chuck by my parents who are friends of his. Chuck also helped my brother purchase his first townhome last summer. From day one of the process of selling our first house and buying our new house, we felt incredibly at ease and knew we could trust Chuck. He was very patient and was willing to take the time to explain everything to us. He was always very quick at responding and always made us feel important. Chuck really cares and isn’t just focused on the money. Chuck is very knowledgeable about the market and I don’t think you could find a better negotiator! Chuck and his amazing team went above and beyond in preparing our house to go on the market including washing all windows, staging, creating full color flyers including home highlights and home improvements and Matterport 3D video. Preparation is key and because of all Chuck and his teams hard work we had many excellent offers to choose from. Chuck was with us every step of the way and because of that the whole experience went smooth. If you are looking for a realtor, look no further than Chuck Eckberg and team you won’t regret it. If we ever move again, we will definitely hire Chuck!

We have been home owners in Woodbury for 35 years. Having recently retired, we were looking for information and guidance to see if the time was right to sell. We interviewed several realtors, but felt that Chuck stood out from the others. We found him to be informative, supportive, and focused on our priorities rather than his agenda.

Chuck is at the pulse of the local real estate market. We found him to be patient, helpful, informative, and always put us first. His team approach in preparing, photographing, and marketing our home resulted in a first class product that produced scheduled showings beyond what we could have imagined. We ultimately sold our home before it even hit the market. Chuck was always responsive, well thought out, and put business ethics before dollars.

We had been in our home for over 25 years and raised both of our kids in it. Chuck understood our attachment and worked to help us realize our ultimate goals of sale and life transition.

We would not hesitate to call on Chuck's expertise with any future real estate transaction. In short, he is highly prepared - one stop shopping that helps take the wrinkles out of selling your home.

My partner and I met Chuck through a friend of ours. We were first time home buyers and very uneducated about the process. Chuck explained everything in great detail and answered any questions we had as they came up. Chuck listened to what we wanted and needed in a house and quickly grew to know what we liked and didn't like about houses we saw. It was a long process and Chuck stayed supportive, patient, and diligent with us as we looked at house after house and put in offer after offer. With the help of Chuck and his team we found a home we love! I would recommend working with Chuck 100 times over. We cannot thank him enough for all he did!

We were so fortunate to have found Chuck Eckberg as our realtor. Needless to mention that buying a house during this crazy pandemic time was a big challenge. As our realtor, Chuck helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for a decent price. Most of all we were able to get our offer accepted amongst more than 30 potential offers. Chuck seamlessly worked behind the scenes to get our offer accepted while constantly keeping us in the loop. In the initial period, Chuck cautioned us against making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes. However, when we found the right house, he acted quickly. We never felt that Chuck was just trying to sell a house but was a mentor to answer questions and help make good decisions. We now consider Chuck as a friend and would recommend him hands-down to anyone searching for a new home.

Chuck was recommended to us through a family member as we were trying to sell a house and buy a new one. We really appreciated his high level of integrity and work ethic and that he provided the full package as it related to selling our home (photography, staging, window cleaning, etc).

The day we listed Chuck was in constant communication with us and kept us updated on offers while we were out of town. He was instrumental in helping us accept the best offer for our needs.
As part of the new home search, Chuck and Noah were both very responsive and flexible in showing us prospective homes. Chuck provided objective input to us during the very overwhelming process and his experience helped us find a home we love.

We highly recommend working with Chuck! He was very easy to work with and truly made it a positive experience.

I have personally known Chuck as a friend and neighbor for nearly 12 years. For the past four years, we knew that once our children graduated from high school, we would be relocating to my new husbands’ home. We waited until this time because having the boys finish school at East Ridge was our top priority.

However, once it came time to list our home, it was difficult to say goodbye to our neighbors and friends and the place that our children were raised in. Chuck knew us and knew that while we were excited for the next stage in life, it was hard to say goodbye to our home.

The decision to choose Chuck was not hard at all. I knew he had a good reputation among buyers and sellers alike. We knew he was trustworthy and holds himself to the highest standards of ethics, both personally and professionally. And we knew that he would work hard for us.

Chuck ensured our house was ready for the market. He went above anything we could have expected with regards to marketing our home. He diligently met with realtors and individual prospects and our home sold within the first week. He then followed up with the inspection and got us through the entire process through the closing. We are confident that we got the very best price for our home and are equally confident that the buyer does not have any remorse and received their value as well. When both sides feel like they won, everybody wins!

Thank you, Chuck, for being the best in the business! I have always recommended you as a friend whenever anyone was seeking a realtor. But now I can recommend you as a customer and know from firsthand experience, just how fantastic you are at what you do!

And we thank you, Chuck, for doing the very best for our home and our family!

Update October 2021: Chuck has helped us secure a new home due to an unusual circumstance at our home in Cottage Grove and under strict time constraints and rigid requirements. You hit the ball out of the park again, Chuck! Cheers to 2022!

I first worked with Chuck over three years ago in an effort to purchase my first home. During this process Chuck was very patient and walked me through each step of purchasing a home. He made my first real estate experience a positive one and I could tell he truly had my best interest in mind. Most recently I decided to put my home up for sale and I did not hesitate to call Chuck. In a matter of a couple days, Chuck had arranged for my windows to be professionally cleaned, and for my home to be staged and listed.

Chuck Eckberg and his crew merits our family’s highest recommendation. We learned of Chuck and his RE/MAX Results crew from an advertisement in our local magazine. We were impressed with his client-first philosophy and the scope of services he promised, and added him to our list of realtors for interview. After meeting with our three finalists, Chuck was a slam-dunk choice. He has a calm professionalism, blockbuster business reputation, a deep familiarity with the Washington County real estate market, and a high level of integrity that is quickly obvious. We also appreciated Chuck’s eager willingness to advise and work with us at our own pace.
Together, we did a thorough walk-through of our property, and Chuck advised us on market timing, the pluses and minuses of our home in the current market, realistic expectations for the market we’d be selling in, and what tweaks he thought would better position our home of 30 years for the market. We set up a marketing timetable, but it changed a few times. No worries - Chuck has a patient, no-pressure style. He and his team were very attentive and responsive to our needs and concerns, and supportive of our decisions.
When we finally pulled the trigger, we really saw the depth of his team and its services (window washing, professional staging, photography, innovative marketing). The resulting listing was thorough and beautifully done, and Chuck’s marketing strategy proved to be right on. The property went public on a Thursday afternoon; by the following Monday, we had several offers, all over the listing price; and the negotiation and closing process went off without a hitch. If you’re looking for a true client-oriented sales and marketing professional, you can’t do better than Chuck Eckberg and his RE/MAX Results team.

You can trust Chuck. This was extremely important to me throughout our process of selling our home and buying new. My wife and I have known Chuck personally for many years as the result of their joint volunteer effort at the grade school and our kids attending the same schools through high school, plus we have many mutual friends. I consulted with Chuck several times over the past years about our thoughts on selling and moving, and each time he helped me think through the costs and benefits, and each time he advised us to stay in our home (meaning no commission for him). This past spring, our personal situation and market dynamics had changed, and we concluded it was time to sell. The process moved very rapidly in order for us to take advantage of the low inventory of homes in our area (resulting in multiple offers over asking price in one weekend of showings) and for us to lock in our best pricing on our new buy/build. Chuck’s knowledge and experience were extremely helpful, and most important to me, he kept gently guiding me through a very emotional and stressful process of leaving a home we built and lived in for 24 years. Chuck’s team is fantastic with Justine Frischmon bringing vision to the staging and Noah Thompson helping with the heavy lifting (literally) and logistics throughout the process. Chuck brings a lot of extras to the listing beyond staging including window washing, drone photos, and the very cool Matterport 3D walk through model. We feel we got a lot of value for the commission paid, and we are very pleased with our resulting sale. We of course personally enjoyed working with Chuck and highly recommend him. Trust the process and trust Chuck.

Chuck did a FANTASTIC job as our listing agent for our home in Woodbury. From the beginning, his calm demeanor and wise counsel helped us to present our home in the best light. Besides his insight in to the Woodbury marketplace, he also provided professional staging and window washing to make our house shine. The gorgeous professional photos and drone photos, and the Matterport tour and floor plans all helped to create a high level of interest and activity for our listing. When we entertained OVER TEN (!!!!) offers for our home, he guided us through all the important items to consider. He is a very diligent agent, and helped negotiate a sales price and contract terms that were way above our WILDEST expectations. We cannot think of even ONE more thing that he could have done, and we highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs!

Chuck is simply the best! We were recommended to use Chuck from some friends and was the best decision we could have made! From the initial sit down meeting with him, we knew he was the right choice. He made everything so simple and comfortable for us while we took on such a big life event; selling our home. He was always honest and upfront and ALWAYS had our best interest in mind while giving us professional advice every step of the way. When it came time for the sale of the home, he knocked it out of the park with his marketing and services he provides to have gotten the best possible value. With multiple offers, he took the time to explain in detail everything we needed to know before we accepted. This was such a big life event for us, to sell our home, the home which we brought our kids home to and made so many memories, but Chuck was there to make it easy, comfortable and stress free! I can't say enough good things about Chuck and his team. We didn't just find a realtor to sell our home, we found a friend. Thank you, Chuck!

Chuck provides professional advice, but ultimately each decision you make is your own. Always a professional, yet we were treated like friends. Always responsive to calls and texts, we were never left with the impression that he was too busy. His years of experience and knowledge gave us the confidence we needed. In the end, we could have not been more pleased with the outcome of the sale of our home.

Deciding to sell our family home of 24 years was a big decision for us, however choosing Chuck Eckberg as our realtor was very easy. Chuck was professional, honest, informative, timely, and truly knowledgeable about the Woodbury market. Chuck explained the entire process in understandable detail, from home valuation, preparations, marketing, showings and offers. He provided guidance on final home preparations and offered services above and beyond when compared to other realtors - home staging, professional photos including drone, and Matterport floor plans. Chuck’s approach to selling your home works and most of important of all, it was stress-free. What impressed us the most was the amazing interest Chuck created in our home! During one of the coldest weekends of the year, Chuck coordinated an unbelievable amount of showings and open houses effortlessly. Chuck also skillfully guided us through more offers than we could have ever imagined, giving comparisons and assisting us to make the decision on which offer made the most sense for us. Through every step, Chuck had our best interest at heart and was always responsive to our questions. We were very pleased with the whole selling process and would highly recommend Chuck Eckberg without hesitation for any of your selling or buying real estate needs.

All well-deserved good reviews about Chuck and needless to say that my experience was the same. He listened carefully to my needs and did not push me in a neighborhood that was his specialty. I saw him on a Thursday evening, fell in love with a home on Saturday and purchased it too. There was however a big hurdle in the process that we had to jump over. At the time of my preapproval, my credit score was 740 but due to an unpaid medical bill that I was not aware of and had gone to collection that showed on my report 10 days prior to closing and tanked my score to 630. The whole deal was at the cusp of falling apart. And that was when we were able to leverage his expertise. He advised us to talk to a different lender (which worked out) plus used his position and connection with the other party's selling agent to persuade them to push the closing another month. Without this step I would have lost the home that I had my heart set on. And I am grateful to have worked with him on this. It was such an incredible process and to watch him do what he does best and salvage the deal was amazing. I highly recommend Chuck to anyone looking to buy or sell!

We’ve known Chuck Eckberg as a friend and neighbor for over 20 years, but that isn’t why we hired him as our real estate agent. In fact, we often shy away from doing business with friends to prevent a possible bad business experience from affecting a good friendship. We knew Chuck was very knowledgeable and experienced in the Woodbury market, and specifically Eagle Valley. Knowing this, we approached Chuck when we first started thinking about selling our home. Chuck was prompt in setting
up a meeting to view our home, show us how he would market the home, and discuss price expectations. He was very knowledgeable about our home, the neighborhood, and market environment. He also had a solid marketing plan including staging, professional traditional and aerial photography, and Matterport virtual tours. He quickly brought in experts to help stage the home, clean the windows, and take photos/video so our home could go on the market ASAP (it was just 5 weeks from the initial thought about selling to the accepted offer - he moved fast!). He thoroughly explained the process and was always available to answer any questions we had. He took the time to learn how to operate everything in
the home so he could have the home ready for showings when we weren’t available. Even while recovering from surgery, Chuck hosted an open house which is when our buyers discovered our home and fell in love with it. He made it very simple for us from the time we received the offer to the final closing process. He always acted with honesty, integrity, and patience (we were kind of high maintenance clients) and we were very happy with the entire process. We would highly recommend Chuck for any real estate needs!

When we decided to sell our home, we initially thought it didn’t really matter if we had and who we had for a realtor. After meeting with a couple different realtors, we quickly learned that Chuck Eckberg stood out and was someone we wanted to work with to sell our home. He has a calming and professional demeanor. Selling a house can be stressful and Chuck was able to help us work through issues, creating as little stress as possible. I felt confident that we had the Best realtor representing the sale of our home!
We knew that we had work to do on our house before we put it up for sale. Chuck was able to recommend and provide us with names and quality people to help us complete projects and get our home ready. He connected us to contractors who were able to paint, interior and exterior, complete electrical work, and handyman repairs, all in a short period of time. He also provided so many extras that we didn’t even expect! Window Cleaners, house cleaner, photographs of the interior and exterior as well as aerial photos to show off our house, the lot and our neighborhood! Chuck works with an outstanding stager who worked with us on colors, carpeting and arranging things we had to highlight the rooms in our home.
During the Showings, we counted on Chuck to ensure that the house was set up to look its best! Because we weren’t living in the house during the sale, it was important that we could count on Chuck to monitor issues when they came up. When a problem arose with our front door lock, Chuck contacted a locksmith to solve the problem at no cost to us!
Most importantly, our house sold within 3 weeks! Once the offer was made, Chuck was instrumental in negotiating with the buyer to ensure we received the maximum value for our home. If that weren’t enough, when there was a problem with the buyers last minute financing, Chuck was there to assure and explain things to us. We would definitely recommend Chuck Eckberg to anyone who is considering selling their home.
Sincerely,
Bill and Peggy McDowell

I contacted Chuck based on his experience and proven success selling homes in Eagle Valley and Woodbury. Following our first meeting, I knew immediately he was the realtor I needed to sell my home during a difficult period in my life. He cared not just about selling my house, but also how to best help me through a daunting process. Chuck and his team's help getting my 22 year old home ready to show was greatly appreciated and helped to get the house sold in only two days and over the listing price! I recommend Chuck and his team to anyone looking to sell their house and would give him 10 stars if I could.

I first called Chuck about a house in Eagle Valley that he was selling more than 15 years ago. Not only did we purchase that home, we were so comfortable with his no-nonsense approach, honesty and integrity that we picked him to sell the home we were in as well. Since that time, he helped me through three more moves including my most recent move during the midst of the pandemic. Navigating when and how to list a house early in the pandemic was scary for everyone and Chuck navigated this unchartered territory authentically and transparently and his instincts were, of course, spot on.

Selling and buying homes is more than a transaction to Chuck. Moves often come alongside life changes and his top priority has always to been to ease us through a transition and to find the perfect fit for my boys and I. Moving is a lot of work and he made the listing process smooth and as quick as possible, guiding me each step of the way. He has an outstanding support team of home stagers, window cleaners, and contractors who work miracles!

Chuck has an excellent reputation for good reason. He is ethical, acts with integrity and strikes the perfect balance of acting in the best interest of his clients but also respecting the other buyer/seller. Each of my houses sold within about a week for a competitive price that both buyer and sellers felt good about.

Throughout the years, Chuck has become a trusted friend and I will forever be grateful for his guidance, advice, humor, and patience! If you are looking for a realtor that will always have your best interest in mind, I strongly recommend Chuck.

We have known Charles Eckberg twice now as he has sold our house twice, once to us and again while we listed it for sale. He has been an amazing realtor throughout this long and painstaking process especially during the difficult times of COVID-19. What we really appreciate about Chuck is that he takes time to understand your needs, diligently answer your questions and makes sure you are informed of and comfortable with the whole process. He has shown great professionalism and persistence when we were at the verge of giving up! In Our case, he singlehandedly managed to close the transaction while we moved out of the country! We are very grateful for Chuck to have taken us through this process with his utmost sincerity and will recommend him to anyone who is looking for great realtor services along with customer satisfaction during the process.

We had a five-star experience with Chuck. He came recommended from a friend-of -a friend and we are glad we looked no further. He was highly flexible and patient with us as we were searching for a home for our family on a tight time-frame. He always wore a mask and kept physical distance during all of our interactions. He listened carefully to our needs/desires and advocated strongly for our best interests. Very personable, down-to-earth, and kind. We are grateful for his expertise in the east metro area as well as with negotiating and general knowledge about homes and builders in the area. Would definitely hire again!

Our experience with Chuck Eckberg of ReMax in the selling of our rental property was excellent throughout the entire process. Chuck was very responsive to our questions and provided helpful suggestions to enhance the value of our property. The quality of the listing presentation and related materials was top-notch. Although our first accepted offer fell through, Chuck had the property back on the market within a few hours with multiple showings and two strong offers that night. Chuck was pleasant to work with and knowledgeable of the Woodbury market. We highly recommend him.

My wife and I are very grateful for finding Chuck. He did a wonderful job listing and selling our home. A couple things which he provided we consider “above and beyond” the typical real estate agent experience: professional window cleaner provided, staging expert provided for advice, answering calls any time of day/night/weekend hours about questions we had and more. I would say that if you work with Chuck you’ll have a hard time finding any part of his processes, effort or personality that could be improved upon. We sold very quickly and are sitting in our beautiful new home as we write this!

If you are looking for an experienced, trustworthy and caring realtor, Chuck Eckberg is a great choice! I was referred to Chuck and it was a wonderful experience from the listing and determining the selling price to assessing market conditions to closing on my property. He was a great listener, answered questions quickly/thoroughly and works with you to accommodate your needs. No cookie cutter approach here. I definitely recommend working with Chuck, and i will certainly work with him again.

Chuck is a family friend and that resulted in a very friendly and relaxed experience. He is understanding, knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. We are first time home buyers and he was patient with our questions and made sure we were making the right decisions. He also has a great network of other professionals and referred us to a great locksmith and a wonderful mortgage consultant. I would recommend Chuck to anyone looking to buy or sell. We know we've made a friend for life!

I met Chuck earlier based on a recommendation from a mortgage specialist. Chuck was everything the mortgage specialist said. He was kind, caring and understanding. He took the time to understand my situation and provided homes and options that met my needs. He was a great communicator and always checked in to see what I needed and how he could help even after the close. He stayed on top of things and worked to address any concerns I had and was flexible with his time. I would definitely recommend working with Chuck for your selling or buying needs.

Our decision to work with Chuck Eckberg proved wise when selling our Woodbury home this fall. His process is customer centric, results top tier, and his guidance with our new construction invaluable. He was the cog that drove our pre-market maintenance and updates, as well as providing the resources to execute alluring photography, and deliver spot on staging (thanks Goldia!)

It all tallied to our accepting a market, full price offer in 4 days. That speaks to results, but it doesn’t reflect the number of times we knew we had a friend throughout the process to lean on.

Somehow in the process of delivering these results, Chuck also made us feel like his top priority. His responsiveness to my inquiries were both quick and effective, which complimented my impatience very well. Chuck’s continued oversight during the escrow period helped ensure smooth sailing up to and through the closing.

Prominent, local, networked, professional, caring, driven, and a deep well of knowledge of the Washington county real estate market. That’s Chuck, and that’s what got it done for us. The cherry on top was Chuck personally travelling to our new residence to deliver a very timely keepsake memento …a fine hard cover book of photos and memories of a place we called home.

Thanks for all the above and beyond Chuck!!

My parents used Chuck as their realtor and had a great experience so my husband and I decided to go with him also. We were not disappointed! Chuck made it as easy as possible for us to buy a house from afar. He made sure that he was completely available when we were able to visit Minnesota to look at houses, even on last minute's notice. He worked around our crazy schedule with a newborn and was extremely responsive (even at night or on the weekends). Chuck is great at negotiating and led us through the somewhat-daunting process of buying a house with ease. We may be in our forever home but if it's ever needed, we would definitely work with Chuck again. Can't recommend him enough!

I was put in touch with Chuck on the recommendation of our builder DR Horton and it turned out to be a win-win situation. He was able to represent us on the selling end and the buying side of our new home. We were in a bit of a time crunch and after our initial phone call, Chuck was at our house the next day. From there things went at quickened pace and Chuck had contracts signed, staging assistance and pictures taken. We had the house on the market in 3 days. From there we had a full price offer in the first week. Chuck provided assistance all the way through closing and we couldn't have been any happier. Chuck provided professional and responsive support during the entire time. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for selling or buying a home.

My husband and I worked with Chuck for our first home purchase. From our very first meeting, we both felt like Chuck had our best interests in mind. He's not only great at what he does, but he is also a truly caring and good person. How do we know this? While still living out of town, we scheduled our first look at houses on what ended up being at the same time as a huge April blizzard. Despite this, he still went out to look at houses with us since it was the only weekend we had available to be there. We ended up not buying anything that year, but he stuck with us and worked his magic to get our offer accepted for our dream home the next season. This is really just one example of how committed and caring Chuck is to his clients.

He really made such an intimidating and big life event feel so much easier. We will 100% work with him again in the future and recommend him to anyone in need of selling/buying real estate!

Chuck became a friend to our family as we spent 2 years determining our needs / wants for our next home. Chuck worked respectfully within our limits. As a mom of 3 little kids, I was hesitant to put our family through selling our house, packing, staging, moving.

One day this past winter,
Chuck called to say he found our house. Within 2 weeks—after Chuck brought in a staging expert and window washers (I didn’t have to do these things!)—our house listed on a Friday. The following Monday, we signed a sales agreement.

Our house listed on February 22 (strategically chosen to market the home at the right time), and we moved into our beloved Forever Home on April 26. The process could not have gone better. After 2 years of patiently awaiting the right fit, Chuck facilitated a seamless process for us. We are very grateful.

Chuck Eckberg and his family have been friends for years. So, when it came time sell our Woodbury home Chuck was the obvious choice. We challenged Chuck with the task of selling our house and finding a townhome with closings and the move on the same date. We did not want to move twice. Chuck did everything we asked and more. For example, we had a few upgrades we needed to make to our house we were selling. He had great vendors contacts that did quality work and were very reliable. In the end he found us a buyer for our home and a new townhome. With the one move as promised. We would highly recommend Chuck and his team for any real-estate transaction you may be considering. He is simply the best!

My wife, Heather, and I, first met Chuck over 15 years ago and were immediately impressed by his kindness and genuine warmth. Over the years, Chuck and his family became not only clients of Custom Sewing by Heather, the sewing business Heather owns and operates here in Woodbury, but true friends. We had many opportunities to visit with him over the years and when it came time for us to sell our home in 2016 in preparation to build a new home in Woodbury, we didn’t even consider anyone else to represent us and contacted Chuck. In the midst of that, our daughter and son-in-law, who were also in the process of selling and building a new home in Woodbury, also contacted Chuck because the report he had with our family.

We were fortunate to be able to contact Chuck months before we put our home on the market and he worked with to make sure we had everything in order before we listed, including providing sound advice in some of the upgrade/remodeling we did prior to selling. Our requirements for the home we would be building were somewhat unique due to the nature of the businesses we operate out of our home, and in the end we realized we would need to go with a custom builder. Chuck acted as a liaison between us and the builder we ended up choosing, as well as, the property developer, in helping us get answers to all our questions. He was there when we paid the first deposit on our new property and went the extra mile in helping us get our existing home sold in a short amount of time through helping with staging, hiring a photographer, providing promotional materials and general assistance. He guided us through the entire process which ended with us moving into our new home build in July 2017.

There are many things we love about Chuck and his approach to representation, but one of the things we loved the most was the way we never felt rushed or pushed in any way. He always took time to really listen to our concerns and answer our questions, and we truly felt and believed that he had our best interests in mind.

We have and will continue to recommend Chuck to all our friends and anyone who is looking for, if not the best, ONE of the BEST conscientious and hard-working realtors out there. But you don’t have to just take our word for it. Chuck’s reputation precedes him through the many awards he has received in his industry and his recognition in our community and the surrounding area. Call him today. We know you’ll be glad you did!

Our real estate agent Chuck Eckberg did very well in the assessments we made together on pricing. Most of the inventory in our past neighborhood was either still active or they had ceased their efforts to sell. We succeeded due to Chuck's efforts within a tough micro-market situation. Chuck was responsive, and generous with the services he provided and tenacious, while being pleasant. We highly recommend Chuck Eckberg! Our family will continue to utilize his services for all of our real estate needs.

I am a realtor for a large builder in the area and Chuck has helped several of my clients doing new construction builds sell their existing homes as well as representing them on their new build. He is a powerful advocate for his clients and always has their best interest in mind. I would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated, fair minded agent. Additionally Chuck has sold his clients homes quickly, and for asking price and always responds promptly to phone calls and emails.

Chuck was a great partner and resource along the journey of making my first home purchase. Our process began with him investing time in me and understanding what I was specially looking for in a home, a community, and at a price I could afford. He worked with myself, and my family, and supported me along the journey through helping me identify what I believed is important in a home and what wasn't important. Over Chuck's career, and in my experience, it was very apparent that he goes out of his way to do what's in the best interest of his client's. He has helpful insight in preparation for becoming a first time home owner and helped me avoid major pitfalls that I wouldn't have caught on my own. Chuck never made the process about himself and was available to me as a resource when I had questions. He encouraged me to take more of his time to see more houses and I'm confident that if Chuck says he is going to do something that he'll do it.

After putting in several financially comfortable offers on houses (at my request), in a very competitive market, he encouraged me to stay grounded in what I felt was important in a home, grounded in my budget, and helped me avoid becoming an emotional buyer. Chuck communicated with me before, during, and after those offers and was invested in my success, sharing in my disappointments when offers didn't go through, but guiding me to better future opportunities. Chuck leveraged his years of experience as a realtor and made me feel very confident in his ability to communicate my needs as a home owner, my offer, and negotiate for what was in my best interest. Chuck makes the process very fun and is incredibly professional to work with.

I recommend Chuck Eckberg to my friends, family, and coworkers when I hear that they're interested in anything real estate and recommend that if you have any questions you reach out to him as well.

As a first time home buyer, Chuck helped me to navigate all the way through the process staring from searching for a home that fit for me. Right from the get go, Chuck was dedicated to helping setup up searches and weekly house visits from all the way on the other side of town. He is very knowledgeable about the criteria for making a good home purchase and will let you know about any extra work that will most likely need to go into the house after purchase. Chuck is also very diligent and is great with helping to do research about houses, sellers, and other real estate agents to really get the most out of a listing. Overall, Chuck made my home buying experience a breeze and I am truly grateful to have had him as my agent. I will definitely be using Chuck as a partner in my future home buying/selling ventures.
