Real estate decisions often involve major life changes. Finding the right Realtor who will bring value to this decision from beginning to end is very important. As a full-time Realtor I pride myself to being there every step of the way. I work with a collaborative team to help you or a loved one list and sell a home. On the buy side I pride myself in both leveraging the technology available as well as the personal touch of a phone call to chat through your options, priorities and questions. Ingrid had a corporate job in market research and management for 15 years, has her MBA from the University of St Thomas & became a Realtor following in her Mom's footsteps in 2009. She lives in Eden Prairie with her husband Mike and twin daughters. Ingrid enjoys hiking, biking, reading & cooking/baking with her daughters Maeve & Genevieve.

I have built my business off of who I would want to help me buy or sell my home – An absolute professional fighting for you and making sure that every ‘I’ is dotted and every ‘t’ is crossed, that your interests are at the top of any discussion in a transaction as well as make sure that everyone understands exactly what is going on at all times.  And someone that would watch your animals for you.  I’m like a warmed up M&M, hard shell with a mushy inside.  

Beginnings – Growing up in Minnesota and Colorado, I dreamt of being an Orthodontist…..that didn’t work out, but I did get degrees in Biology, Chemistry AND Vocal Music from Bemidji State University. Soooooo…

Music – I am ALWAYS humming, I apologize up front.  I was in a band after college, Sebastian Orange – look them up, uber famous.  I even wrote the lyrics to a song that one time.

Adulting – started in finance - you fall into things sometimes, but I loved the people and I loved the daily challenges of working with and through the systems.  Seeing things from a different perspective is key and is a huge piece of what makes me great at what I do.

Soccer – I play it, I didn’t say well!  Womens’ and Coed Leagues all around the Twin Cities all year round.  Let me know if you’d like to get on a team!

Dog lover – Volunteer at the Humane Society and also support and foster through Healing Hearts - I might greet your dog first at a listing appointment, not gonna lie

Wine enjoyer – Red’s preferred, but I will never turn down a white, or a Rose, or bubbles….

Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a Twin Cities-based Realtor who brings a personal touch to every transaction. Since earning my real estate license in 2019, I’ve helped clients navigate buying, selling, and leasing with confidence—especially when it comes to investment properties. As a third-generation property manager, I grew up learning the ins and outs of property maintenance, leasing, and real estate strategy, which now fuel my passion for helping others build wealth through real estate.

I’m also a certified Pricing Strategy Advisor and a proud member of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, giving my clients a competitive edge whether they’re investing for the first time or making their next big move.

Outside of real estate, I’m a wife and mom who loves to host family and friends, tackle DIY home projects with my husband, and create cozy, functional spaces we love to live in. Helping others feel at home—whether it’s for a season or a lifetime—is what drives me every day.

I am Wendy Hanson and I have been a real estate consultant for 22 years. I am a full time agent and work for REALTY ONE GROUP CHOICE in Andover, MN.  Although my office is located in the northwest suburb of the Twin Cities, I am licensed in Minnesota and have represented clients in many communities around the Twin Cities Metro Area as well as outside the metro counties.

Sellers upsizing or downsizing their homes, first time home buyers, investors purchasing real estate, consumers purchasing a 2nd home or cabin, or if you are looking to buy land, I HAVE YOU COVERED!
As markets change, the strategies for home sellers and home buyers much change as well, and I am here to assist you.  If looking to sell your home, I can provide the market information needed for you to price and get your home SOLD!  If looking to purchase real estate, I will assist in finding the home for you and for your family, as well as educate you on how to present the most strategic terms to get your offer accepted! 
Whether a buyer or seller, I will be there to negotiate the offer to best represent you. Once we have an offer that is agreed upon by both parties, I will then oversee all the transactional details to follow. These details include, working with the mortgage company to meet deadlines, inspections, working with agents or contractors who have work to be completed on the home, coordinating the closing with the title companies, assisting in clearing up any title defects, and any other issues that could affect the closing date. 
Finally, I will be there for you during your celebration.
I do what I can to make the selling of your home and or purchase of your home an experience that is gratifying and as stress free as possible.

I am very proud of my business that has been built from repeat clients using my service as well as receiving referrals from my past clients, introducing me to their family and friends.  

My goal is to be my clients’ Real Estate Consultant for Life!
