Description of Work: Al helped us with a whole house renovation in SW Mpls. This process is a bit less expensive than a tear-down, and you end with the same basic result. We have be very impressed with the entire process and workmanship. Al takes great pride in his projects and the end results show it. He lives in the neighborhood of his projects and takes steps to make sure that the neighbors are treated well and the houses blend with the surrounding neighborhood. I would highly recommend Al to anyone who wants to renovate a home in SW Mpls.

He did an excellent job. He received a percentage for his compensation which was I think even less than 6% because we worked with him in the past.
Description of Work: Al Theisen did realty services that helped us to sell our old house and buy a new house across town.

It went very well. Al is very knowledgable with the housing market in the South Minneapolis area and Jill was very patient in showing me over 30 houses before I finally selected one. While looking for homes, Al was able to use his extensive building/remodleing background to help me assess possibilities with the various homes we viewed.
Description of Work: Al & his assistant Jill helped me find a home to buy in the South Minneaoplis area near the Lakes.

I picked Al because he seemed very honest. He lives and works in the neighborhood and really knows the houses. My house was built in the 1920's and I am sure was full of surprises. Al's price was right in the middle of all the bids I had gotten. They started by completely gutting my basement (asbestos and all). They stayed in close contact with me throughout the process and tried to make it as comfortable as possible while still living in the house. All the work got done on time and is beautiful. I plan on using Al and his team to renovate the rest of the house.
Description of Work: Al and his team did a complete demolition and remodel of my basement.

Al is such a good guy, he provides all information to help you make an informed decision. He does not pressure you and just wants to do the right thing for your family. He is up front and honest which is very refreshing. We will use Al for whatever we decide to do, build or sell/buy. He is a great mix of a builder and Realtor which is rare. He also has amazing vision for what you home can be and potential value.
Description of Work: Al has been helping us determine if we should add on or sell.

Great! I don't think I've ever said I LOVE a person I do business with, but Al and Taya were really extraordinary. They are great people, a joy to work with during the uneasy home selling period, provide first class service, AND Al's construction experience was immensely helpful for us. I highly recommend him and his wife Taya. *Also, I read a previous review about Al only showing potential remodel houses and that wasn't true in our case. We actually bought a house that was not a remodel.
Description of Work: Al paid for staging of our home to put on the market. Helped us install another light and clean windows. Always available. Seriously, there were many nights when he would be by after 8 pm when our son was in bed so we could chat. Fought hard for us negotiating our new house. Because he also does remodels, he used his contractors to build a deck and fence for our new house within 1 week (before the ground froze). It was for a really, really reasonable cost. It was $10,000 less than it would have been for us to hire someone.

Al would only show or send us homes to show that needed significant work. Many homes were listed and sold that we would have loved to have had the opportunity to see and purchase, but Al and his wife, Taya, would only show us homes that needed significant renovation so that he could make additional money off the renovation after he made money off the commission from the sale of them home. He also showed us many homes that he had previously renovated or built and the work seem to be done very poorly and too quick. Al and his wife are very nice people but I would not recommend him as a realtor or builder.
Description of Work: Al worked with us to find/renovate/build a home in Minneapolis.

Response from AL THEISEN
IN RESPONSE TO THIS POST, WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT THE MEMBER'S EXPERIENCE WITH US WAS SO MISUNDERSTOOD. WE WERE NEVER HIRED OR UNDER CONTRACT BY THE MEMBER AND DID NOT COMPLETE ANY SERVICE WITH HIM AS EITHER REALTORS, RENOVATORS OR BUILDERS. WE WERE SPECIFICALLY TOLD BY THE MEMBER TO FOCUS ON HOMES THAT NEEDED WORK AND RENOVATION; THE MEMBER WAS LOOKING FOR A 2-YEAR “FLIP” IN THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET AND WAS JOB RELOCATING. AL’S EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA WAS THE REASON FOR OUR RELATIONSHIP AND IT WAS UNDERSTOOD THAT AS A RELOCATION CLIENT, WE WERE NOT REPRESENTING THE MEMBER AS REALTORS, HAD NO AGENCY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, AND WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR OUR TIME. WE WERE, TO OUR UNDERSTANDING, BEING ASKED TO ADVISE THE MEMBER SPECIFICALLY WITH A RENOVATION PROJECT, BUT NO PROJECT WAS BEGUN OR COMPLETED. WE SHOWED THE MEMBER NUMEROUS HOUSES TO EDUCATE HIM (FIXER-UPPERS AND BRAND-NEW REMODELS) ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR RENOVATING AND REMODELING, AND TAUGHT HIM ABOUT THE VARIOUS NEIGHBORHOODS OF MINNEAPOLIS. WE WERE HAPPY AND EXCITED TO DISCUSS RENOVATION IDEAS WITH HIM ABOUT MANY HOMES; IT IS WHAT WE DO AND OUR PASSION. WE FEEL VERY SORRY THAT THE MEMBER FELT THIS WAY, AND WISHED HE WOULD HAVE EXPRESSED THIS IN PERSON. AL AND TAYA

The experience was very positive. I'm impressed that they were able to find a buyer offering a respectable price for our home within weeks when many people have been on the market for months, or have had to dramatically reduce price in order to sell. The real estate work is only part of what Al Theisen Renovations performs. They also build/remodel homes and do amazing work. We have seen some of the homes in person and would highly recommend checking out their work if you're in the market to buy, sell, or remodel your home.
Description of Work: Al & his wife, Taya, helped us sell our home to a builder.
