Brett Schimke never had an interest in being a stereotypical salesperson. He’s never been a fan of the cliché selling techniques that come with the process of working with someone on a purchase or sale. It was the frustration of working with sales people who see you as a number versus a person, combined with the love for a property’s potential, that made Brett want to become a real estate agent.

Brett was raised on a farm in a small Minnesota town north of the cities. Helping out with projects and daily tasks is where he learned what it means to have a strong work ethic. It helped him acquire skills that would make him a competent DIYer and even work for his brother’s General Contracting company for some time. But Brett’s passion has always been music. He received bachelor degrees in both Audio Engineering and Music Composition from a private music college, has been a drummer in multiple bands, played trumpet in the U of M marching band, and currently plays keyboard in a local 10-piece cover band. After graduation, he moved across state lines to Wisconsin for two years so that his wife complete her Master’s degree. While there, Brett helped a successful entrepreneur build a recording studio from the ground up and was the studio’s head engineer. After moving back to Minnesota, Brett focused on the technical side of audio, working as a residential A/V installer and eventually a commercial A/V engineer. He, his wife, and his son have settled down in Stillwater and his family means the world to him.

Brett has always been a “picky” person and knows first-hand how the little things are just as important as the big things while shopping for your next home. Finding exactly what you want, or realizing a vision to make something exactly what you want, is hard to do. A good agent makes this process easy for their clients. Taking the stress and uncomfortable feelings out of the process rather than mastering sales tactics has a much more positive affect on people, and that’s what his goal is with each person Brett meets.

Reviews for Kris Lindahl Real Estate

I have known Dani Pounds for many years, and I have always admired her intelligence, dedication, and work ethic. So, when I found out that she was working at Kris Lindahl real estate, I was not surprised at all. Even though I have not had the opportunity to work with Dani on a professional level, I have no doubt that she brings the same level of passion and excellence to her job. She is a natural problem-solver and has an impressive ability to think outside the box. I have seen her handle difficult situations with ease and grace, which is a testament to her professionalism and expertise. I have heard great things about Kris Lindahl real estate, and having Dani on their team only adds to their credibility. I have no doubt that she is an invaluable asset to the firm and an excellent representative of their values and principles. I highly recommend Dani to anyone in need of legal assistance. She is not only a fantastic friend but also a trustworthy and capable professional. I have no doubt that she will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients. I wish her all the success in her career at Kris Lindahl real estate Keep shining, Dani!

Overall we give Kris Lindahl 5 stars for getting our home sold and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. However, we did have some reservations about the closing company's attention to detail. We also felt there was some lack of communication after we got the offer on our home. After completing buyers' inspection report home repairs, we submitted Invoices, Lien Waivers etc. but never heard if they had been received and were acceptable. Everything turned out OK, it just would have been nice to know what was going on "behind the scenes".

Had Skylee come to do an assessment on my house. She was so personable and knowledgeable. I felt like she was transparent and honest. She genuinely seem to care about my situation and getting me the best deal she could. I felt very relaxed and comfortable with her. Overall great experience in the first phase of figuring out how I'd like to sell my house.
