Kris Lindahl Real Estate+ Reviews / 5.0
As you house hunt in Hanover, look for the yard with the greenest landscaping and you may just be looking at Jamie Kenton’s home.
“I LOVE yard work! The greener the better; thank God for sprinkler systems!” he said, laughing, when asked about his passions outside of real estate.
Kenton was born and raised in Minnesota, mainly in Robbinsdale and Brooklyn Park. He spent summers at his grandmother’s place on Twin Lake, hunting down painted turtles, fishing and swimming (the lake wasn’t green back then).
Jamie bought a house at 19 years old. “I bought a beat-up old house in Robbinsdale and remodeled it from top to bottom,” he says. “That was when I realized my love for real estate.”
At 22, Jamie was a loan officer (and later the branch manager) for a mortgage company. He enjoyed working with people to find the money to purchase a home, but his heart was set on helping them to actually find and sell homes. So, nine years ago, he made the jump and has never looked back. KLRE feels blessed to have him on board.
When he’s not assisting Twin Cities’ residents with buying and selling homes, Kenton spends time with his family. “I have a 2 year-old little princess who thinks she runs the house and has a lot to say about it (that may be my fault), and a 5 year-old son who loves helping me around the yard. He wakes up in the morning ready to go outside,” he said, chuckling.
Jamie’s love of family time extends to his siblings as well. “I have two brothers and three sisters,” he begins. “We hang out all the time. Summer BBQ's are our thing, yard games and lounging in the yard. My family is AWESOME.”
But there is one member of the family Jamie seems to be a bit partial to: Mrs. Kenton. “I wouldn’t be the person I am today without my wife . . . my rock!”
We asked Jamie Kenton what he likes most about his real estate career. “I love watching my clients light up when I find them the house. The excitement is so contagious! I mean, I actually get to help people fulfill their dreams. What a rewarding job!
