Vanessa was a gas to work with! She has the knowledge to navigate the local market while still understanding the larger housing market as a whole. This gave me confidence buying at such an uncertain time. I initially thought my limited budget would ultimately pigeonhole me. This was not the case as several options were provided multiple times! Vanessa is friendly, punctual and professional! I would highly recommend her for your realty services! I have used Vanessa’s services in the past and I will continue to work with her in the future! Thanks Vanessa and thanks LNW reality! -Joshua Mercil

Vanessa was such a treat to work with. She was very patient with my busy schedule and getting everything that needed to be done, done! The home buying process was such a breeze and she made sure I understood every step along the way. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable and fun realtor!

My experience with lake n woods was excellent. Great people with great social and communication skills. They work through the process in a timely fashion!

The consummate professional! With us every step of the way, from choregraphing the listing photographs to the closing at First National Bank in Bemidji. Certainly checked emails and texts beyond the 'normal' 8 hour day. Great perspectives on the local market and its nuances. Would highly recommend to friends and family. The flower pots were above and beyond a housewarming !

Vanessa made our purchase as stress free as possible. She was very accommodating to meet with us on our schedule. Vanessa was very knowledgeable about codes and processes for the vacant land we purchased. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone needing real estate services if she is unable to help, she will get you in touch with the right people to assist with making your dreams become a reality.

Vanessa was great to work with-knowledgeable, responsive, good listener, easy to work with and understood our specific needs and wishes, would work with her again in the future.

An Attorney's Perspective If you're looking for a real estate agent who will diligently and competently represent your interests, you won't find one better than Vanessa Osborn. That assessment is based on my experience as an attorney who, over the course of 40 years, handled countless real estate transactions and worked with many real estate agents. Now that I'm retired my wife and I decided it was time to downsize and buy a much smaller home. By chance we found a listing which Vanessa posted as a buyer's agent. Our decision to work with her proved to be very fortunate. While she is extremely professional, she is also very personable. Based on our experience, you can expect her to thoroughly and patiently address every question or concern you may have, no matter how big or how small (in our case from care of the flowers planted around the house to environmental concerns regarding the HOA sewer system), and she acts quickly. From my professional perspective, her commitment to serve her clients first—and do so cheerfully and professionally—is a quality RARELY found among realtors or their agents. From a personal perspective, my wife and I both recommend her highly without reservation.

Vanessa was incredible throughout our first-time home buying experience. She was always prompt with her responses and thorough in answering our questions. We had the somewhat unique experience of purchasing a structure on Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe leased land which required a number of extra steps and a lengthier process. Vanessa was there with us through every step and did an amazing job communicating with the sellers/other realtor to work through all of the extra steps. She also was so knowledgeable about the special parts of the property like the plant life and local area that helped us get even more excited as the process went on. She went out of her way to make us feel supported and we are so happy and grateful that we were able to get our beautiful lake home. We would definitely recommend Vanessa to anyone needing real estate services.

Vanessa was a life saver! She helped my elderly parents sell their home. It was a stressful and emotional time for them and Vanessa was kind, patient and compassionate every step of the way. she was involved in every detail and had an amazing proactive approach to ensure the sale went through. I recommend her to anyone selling a home. Deven LeSage

Vanessa did an outstanding job for us start to finish. She knows the ins and outs of the business and it took so much stress off of us knowing she was on our side. You can't go wrong with her as your agent. janaoatis
