Rochester real estate, handled personally.

I’m Kevin Rudquist, a Realtor with Counselor Realty of Rochester. From the first conversation to closing day, you work with me.

How I work

Buying or selling a home is a big decision. You deserve someone who answers the phone, explains the options plainly and lets you make the call.

You’ll work with me directly.

I handle my own showings, calls and negotiations. When you have a question, you reach the person who knows your situation, not an assistant or a showing agent.

Straight answers, even the unwelcome ones.

If a list price is high or a house has a problem, I’ll say so and show you the local sales data behind it. Good decisions start with accurate information.

No pressure on your timeline.

Some people move within a month; others take a year to get ready. Either is fine. My job is to help you decide well, not quickly.

Selling your home

Pricing is the decision that matters most, so it starts with a careful look at what has actually sold near you, not an automated estimate. Then we’ll make a plan for preparation, marketing and showings, and I’ll keep you informed at every step through closing.

Buying a home

Rochester’s neighborhoods and nearby towns differ in ways a listing won’t show you: commute, schools, resale, what’s planned down the road. I’ll help you narrow the search, see homes on your schedule and write offers that are competitive without overpaying.

Where I work

Rochester and the communities around it, plus surrounding towns across southeastern Minnesota.

What’s your home worth?

Automated estimates can’t see your updates, your street or what sold next door last month. I can, and I’ll give you a price range with the reasoning behind it.

What happens next

  1. 1You send the address and a few details.
  2. 2I review recent comparable sales and, if you’d like, walk through the home with you.
  3. 3You get a realistic price range and can decide what to do next, with no obligation.
