Ephraim was fantastic to work with! He guided me through the home buying process, explained all of the paperwork along the way, and constantly worked on my side and in my best interests. His recommendations on mortgage companies and the home inspector were also valuable and very helpful!

Ephraim is the best, particularly for South Minneapolis. He has excellent knowledge of the neighborhoods, knows what makes a good house, and is very friendly and easy to work with. I've had Ephraim as both my buyer's agent and my seller's agent. When buying he is very attentive to details and makes you feel confident in your choices. He goes the extra mile when selling your home to make sure that it is as attractive as possible and priced right. Highly recommended.

Ephraim was well-versed in everything: the neighborhoods we were interested in, the particular needs of artists, the ins and outs of negotiating, FHA, etc. And his rapport with our two-year-old (who shared the backseat with him as we went to showings) was superb. Highly recommended!

We've worked with Ephraim twice, and would do it again. He helped us buy our house in Minneapolis, and he helped us sell it. Great guy, very fair and he works hard for his clients. Thanks Ephraim!

Ephraim helped me create and prioritize a list of improvements to make before listing my Phillips 4plex. He gave me good advice during the offers and negotiating phase and walked me through some of the complications that came up. Ephraim really knows the neighborhood and the houses and buildings in it better than anyone. All-in-all I'd say he was great- professional, knowledgeable, flexible and fun.

Ephraim went above and beyond helping us sell our house. Our house was a challenge to sell in this market, but with his expertise we were able to sell and still make a profit. I have absolutely zero complaints about Ephraim and would recommend him to anyone.

We loved working with Ephraim for both buying and selling. He is patient and worked hard to get us into the house of our dreams. I'd recommend him to anyone!

My goal as a REALTOR is to support you throughout your selling and buying process with ease. I am devoted to being service-oriented in all areas of my life, and I will use this mentality to help you achieve comfort and success in your real estate transactions.
About me
I am a very creative and detail oriented person. I utilize my artistic flair and intuitive sensibilities in every opportunity I encounter. My knowledge of the housing market as well as aesthetics, style and personal tastes can greatly add value to your real estate transaction.
As a REALTOR, I know that my service can be much more than aiding in the process of buying and selling properties. I find many areas where I can apply my natural abilities of mindfully communicating and finding creative solutions. I can also save you a lot of time and money!
I have an intention of making a positive difference in the lives of ALL of the people I meet.
I was born in Minneapolis and have lived in the metro area most of my life. I have owned investment property and a home in Minneapolis since 1997 and I enjoy living very near my new Lakes Area Realty Powderhorn Park branch office at 3500 Bloomington Ave S that I manage. I am also the Co-Director of an Art Gallery at the same location called Modus Locus, where we hold many different kinds of community and art events as well as home buying workshops. Thank you for taking this step towards buying or selling using me as your REALTOR. Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or comments. I want to be an ongoing resource for you!
