Minna was fantastic! I highly recommend her to anyone about to dive into the shark infested waters of a short sale. She made the whole ordeal bearable. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and she has a great sense of humor. Thank you, Minna!

From the moment that Minna came up my icy, intimidating driveway to the last truckload being moved out by her son and his friend, I came to rely on Minna and her assistant Lynn Olsen for support and help in disposing of my home of 24 years in a short sale. She and Lynn were tenancious in dealing with a brain-dead mortgage servicing organization and pushing them forward to a final settlement. There were many hurdles along the way and Minna's team handled them all. Kudo's to them.

Minna and her team expertly guided me through my recent short sale in Fairfield County. My situation was somewhat unique in that I was still employed, had some liquid assets and had never missed a payment. However, I was given notice that my position would be terminated in a few months, so I proactively decided to short sell my condo before my situation became worse. Prior to meeting Minna, my bank and other realtors told me I was not qualified for a short sale and had to miss payments before I'd be considered for one. I didn't believe this was the case since I was still able and willing to make my payments as long as I could, and refused to unnecessarily ruin my credit. Minna was the first person who understood my position and took me on as a client.
Understandably, this was a very stressful situation, yet Minna managed to keep me calm and was kept me posted on the process every step of the way. About 5 months later, I closed on the sale and couldn't be happier. I was truly impressed with the level of service I received from Minna and her team, and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who's about to navigate the short sale world.

Minna, and her assistant Lynn, are a great team. They are 100% committed to closing your sale; I always felt like their #1 seller, even though they have many other properties listed. Minna is no-nonsense, smart, and completely on her game. I have never felt so confident in an agent's ability to get the deal closed, and to my full satisfaction. Lynn is super-organized, and kept on top of all the requirements that come with short sale approval. I never had to remind this pair of anything; in fact, it was quite the opposite. They kept me up to date on everything that was going on and everything that was needed to keep the ball rolling.
To put it lightly, I had a difficult situation and a difficult sale. My lender and MI company needed high levels of contact, negotiation, and follow-up. Minna and Lynn took this weight off my shoulders and acted as my liaison in what had been a very stressful ordeal. What's more, they were unfailingly sensitive and understanding of what an emotional experience this was for me. They treated me like a person, when many in the mortgage and real estate industry have treated me like a dollar sign or a bottom line.
I started off listing my property with a different realtor - BIG mistake. As it turns out, this person had NO experience with short sales. What's more, in the entire six months I was contracted with them, I didn't have a SINGLE showing. As soon as that contract expired, I called Minna. My property was listed that week, had a steady stream of showings, and only six months later, despite some considerable challenges (My first buyer walked as a result of a tragedy that occurred in my neighborhood, my lender rejected the sale price a few times ... etc etc etc) the property was SOLD!!
I can't say enough good things about Minna Reid. But if you need to know more, I highly recommend reading Minna's blog; her knowledge, expertise, and experience speak for themselves. Her site was a constant source of information (and encouragement) for me, and in the end, I got my own success story there, as well!

Because of income loss and extreme decrease in home value we were advised by our bank to enlist the help of a realtor who knew the short sale process. Minna and her team were professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. She always promptly responded to our questions with calm reassurance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

In this competitive real estate market, we were so thankful to have chosen Minna Reid as our seller's agent. She presented a realistic analysis of our market and helped us to price our home for quick sale at maximum profit. Our house was on deposit in 3 weeks. When issues were found during our home inspection, she helped us to find the expertise we needed and negotiated with the buyer's agent. She responded immediately to my E-Mails throughout the day and into the evening. I would definitely recommend Minna Reid for her knowledge, insight and responsiveness in selling any home.

I worked with Minna in 2009 – 2011 to complete a short sale with BofA. We worked with three different buyers for a variety of reasons. The entire process was fraught with issues from BofA. Minna was an absolute lifesaver – I attribute the success of the sale entirely to her efforts. The role Minna served was above and beyond my expectations – not only did she negotiate the deal that saved me a fortune but she communicated very effectively with buyer’s agent to keep the deal in tact amongst the stress of a slow moving erratic short sale process. Minna is very knowledgeable of the area and she provided subject matter expertise that saved me time, stress, and MONEY. What I love most about Minna is that she is a true partner in the selling process. Her personality is one that is direct and no nonsense. I would strongly recommend Minna to anyone looking to buy in Connecticut or working through a short sale. Minna was my third relator in this process – My only regret in working with her is that I did not meet her sooner.

Minna was such a pleasure to work with. Her expertise is in short-sale and it was displayed all thru out the short sale process. Her responsiveness and negotiation skills were outstanding all thru out the process and even when she just gave birthed to her 3rd child. Furthermore, the attorney that she normally carries out most of the short sale transactions was amazing. It was so much easier working with an agent who knew what to expect and how to finalize the process. Thank you again Minna!!!

Minna is an aggressive agent whose approach gets results. Her tenacity enabled me to sell my property when I didn't think it was possible in today's economic climate. She is someone whom I would definitely recommend in the future, particularly for a short sale.

Although having to sell your home short is a relatively unplesant experience having Minna work with us throughout made the process pretty painless. Her advice was excellent. I trusted her opinions and her knowledge 100%. We followed her lead and it was the right thing to do. It was very comforting to have Minna on your side.
