Northeast Real Estate Group

Jim is so knowledgeable and helpful! He was so responsive, quick to getting us showings and answers, and helping us through the whole process as first time homebuyers. You can definitely tell he loves what he does, so grateful to have him help us find our first home. We definitely recommend Jim!!!

Jim's combination of real estate knowledge and pleasant personality made what could have been the very stressful process move along smoothly. (I sold my house). It also really helped, and added a level of trust and confidence, that he has lived in the neighborhood for years, and is very much a part of the culture, and well acquainted with all of the idiosyncrasies presented by owning a home in Northeast. Highly Recommend!

Jim Dropps helped us find our new home, and sell our old one last fall. This was our second transaction working with Jim, and his advice and guidance has been indispensable. He helped us every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the twin cities area.

We worked with Jim to purchase our first home. He was extremely patient, diligent, and professional throughout the process. We were moving from out of state, so relied on Jim to be our "eyes" and explore several homes as aligned with an ever evolving criteria. He was consistently calm and measured, helping us to understand intricacies of the home buying process and responding to our desires with helpful facts and enthusiasm. We were looking for a house with many intangibles, mainly focused on character, and Jim found us the perfect place. He worked very hard throughout the negotiations and closing process, dealing with several unforeseen hurdles the seller introduced with the utmost professionalism, and leaving us quite satisfied with the outcome. I would heartily recommend him if you are looking to purchase a home, and we will certainly retain him when we (eventually) sell this one and buy again.

Jim Dropps helped us to purchase our first home in NE Minneapolis and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Jim has a wealth of knowledge about older homes and was able to point out things that we would have missed as first time home buyers. He is always extremely quick to respond and ready to answer any questions while providing extra details to help anticipate your next question. We definitely plan on working with Jim again in the future!

Had the pleasure of working with Jim on looking for our first home. He's knowledgeable, practical, and analytical, all traits we found very helpful as inexperienced buyers. It was actually on his recommendation that we first toured the home we ended up buying. We've referred friends here in the past, and expect to do so in the future. Great overall experience!

Jim is the best! We bought a condo sight-unseen in the Twin Cities. He was incredible, listened carefully to us about exactly what we wanted/needed in a home and gave honest feed back about what might be available in the market. He took all our thoughts on board and we trusted his judgment when we found a perfect property in relatively short order. We couldn’t be happier with our new home

He’s also just an incredibly nice and interesting guy, which is a bonus when house hunting in case you get into a long search!

We would definitely work with Jim again!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home in the Twin Cities!

We had a great experience with Jim Dropps as our realtor. As first-time home buyers, it was helpful to have him walk us through all the ins and outs. Thanks to Jim, what could have been a very intimidating process was smooth and enjoyable.

Selling and buying a house is a stressful process that turns your life upside down for months on end. From the to-do lists that need to get tackled before posting to inspections and closing. There are a lot of unknowns, throw a pandemic in the mix for a special kind of fear-stress amalgamation.
We first contacted Jim as we were thinking of selling our storybook NE bungalow. This was in February of 2020. He helped us narrow down the to-do list to a manageable level and told us not worry about getting offers. Then came full on lock-down. We were worried but still knocked out the to-do list and continued on. When we were finally ready to list Jim made it as low stress as possible on us. One weekend and we had about 7 offers above asking. He made us feel like we were in complete control. No unnecessary showings and no open house.
Jim also helped us buy our new home which was quite the journey. He was always available to show us homes and helped steer us away from the low quality flippers (two sump pumps = red flag). He even kept us safe from nosy competing clients that tried to barge in on our showing time, showed them to the door quickly and concisely without being aggressive. In the end Jim helped us land a larger home in a picturesque neighborhood. A stubborn seller kept us on our toes but Jim helped navigate us to the goal and kept us cool.
He also surrounds himself with professionals too. Jim helped us get a quality painter for our exterior that did a great job as well as lined up the closing with a group of pros that literally drove out to get our buyer's check to the closing across town where we were waiting to sign. All we had to do was sit and wait.
Jim is great, a consummate professional who knows the real estate market and especially NE. We have friends that have had questionable real estate experiences that have left them wondering what-if? We have never felt that for a moment with Jim.

We have now worked with Jim Dropps to purchase two homes and sell a home. He has been remarkable to work with! What strikes us most about Jim's approach, is he acts with a great amount of integrity, which is helpful for all involved parties. Additionally, Jim is a wealth of knowledge about houses, which was invaluable as we were sorting through listings and going to multiple showings.

Jim is an excellent resource for my Minneapolis real estate questions. He is a true professional.

We want to extend our gratitude to Jim Dropps for being an excellent realtor for us. He works in a very professional and timely manner while being relaxed and personable. Jim was forward and up front with us for the duration and our home was sold very quickly, making our journey extremally satisfying and pleasant. Pat and Margaret

Jim was very knowledgeable about the market and what we needed to do to get top dollar for our home. Our first buyer fell through yet he managed to negotiate a better price on the final sale. He never tried to push us into a decision we didn’t want to make. Highly recommend.

Jim is a great realtor. He had great insights about the area, houses, and the current real estate market. He was able to give us great advice when it came to closing the deal.

My wife and I worked with Jaimin to buy our first home in 2019 & we could not have been more pleased with how everything went. From the get-go, she worked with us to figure out first and foremost what we were looking for and what our must-haves were. We were on a very tight timeline and she was incredibly responsive the entire time and helped us understand the timelines and process the entire time. We ended up in an amazing home in Northeast that we adore & I don't think we could've made it happen without her help. It was a personal approach, outstanding integrity and attention to detail that helped us choose Northeast Real Estate Group among all the others & it paid off wonderfully for everyone.

I recently worked with Jim to purchase my first house. He very patiently answered all of my questions, and made the process much easier. I would definitely work with him again.
