We have both bought and sold a home with Deb and Elie over the last two years. Each experience was outstanding. Both buying and selling were stressful events and Deb and Elie held our hand and walked us through every step. They were patient, non-pressuring and knowledgeable. The time they really shined was during the negotiating process when important decisions had to be made quickly. After we sold our home of 20 years we searched for a new home for 2 years. Elie walked through over 20 homes with us, each time being objective, patient and understanding. When we considered buying property and building a home he literally walked through forests and thick brush to find property stakes and boundary markers. He has been doing real estate for over 30 years and his relationships with other agents and builders was invaluable. Lastly, both Deb and Elie are people of integrity. There were many times during the process where they could have been dishonest or taken advantage of us. They did not. They were always transparent, above board and trustworthy. We recommend The Safi Group strongly and with enthusiasm. If you work with them you will not be disappointed.

John is the MAN if you're looking for a great realtor! He's very knowledgeable, straightforward, and patient! My wife - being very indecisive wanted to look at home, land, new development, and basically all the above that you can buy and live in - and John helped us understand anything and everything about these. He'd meet us during our available times for showings and when we finally closed the deal on our house - we just sat back and let John do all the work. Even after we closed on our house and moved in - John still supported us with any questions we had about our house and reached out to the previous owner for things that we were unsure of. KARMA!

John was awesome to work with! It didn't matter the time of day if we had a question he was there to answer. John is highly respectable and relatable. He will strive to please and look out for your best interest. John for me is a hands down 10 out of 10 recommended agent and I highly recommend working with him

I've purchased many properties in the past, and have worked with different Realtors over that time. However, I recently had the pleasure of working with John Larkin as I looked for a new home. I hired John to help find a very specific property that fit my criteria. Ultimately, John found me the perfect home in Bayport, MN near the Saint Croix River and the great restaurants & bars in Bayport. This was not an easy task, and John absolutely nailed the ball out of the part. I couldn't be happier. However, what really impressed me was his ability to get me the best deal possible in a ridiculously competitive housing market. John got me the house and price, and I essentially let him do all the work. John is the only Realtor I will ever work with going forward. He's that good.

John was very friendly and professional in his dealings. We were very picky on what we wished to have at our new home and had to see many homes before we finalized on one. John never hurried us during the process and was supportive even when we came close to giving an offer but backed out due to some additional considerations. I would definitely recommend John and would be happy to avail his services in future as and when I might be in need of the same.
