What do Clients Say?

EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT! THEY CAME BY TO SUGGEST THINGS THAT WE SHOULD CHANGE BEFORE THE SALE. AFTER A FEW MINOR UPDATES THE HOUSE WAS UP FOR SALE! SOLD IN A DAY FOR OVER ASKING PRICE! THEY KEPT IN TOUCH THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS AND ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS I HAD. WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN!

Dave - Oak Grove - October 2021

SELLING MADE EASY! IT WAS MY FIRST TIME SELLING A HOME, PAUL AND HIS TEAM MADE IT SO EASY. THEY ARE ALL VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL. THEY TRULY CARE AND MADE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, AND WERE ACCESSIBLE FOR US TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. ALTHOUGH PACKING AND MOVING CAN BE STRESSFUL, THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS MADE JUST A LITTLE BIT EASIER BY THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE!

Phil & Ashley - Ramsey - July 2021

IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR COMPANY ON THE SALE OF MY HOUSE IN OAK GROVE ON THE RUM RIVER. YOU FULFILLED ALL EXPECTATIONS AND THEN SOME. COULDN'T BE MORE PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE BUYERS TURNED OUT TO BE A NEAR-PERFECT FIT. THANKS AGAIN.

Bill - Oak Grove - April 2020

PAUL APPROACHED THE SALE FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE THAN OTHERS AND ENDED UP SELLING IT FOR MORE THAN WE WERE PLANNING ON LISTING IT AT. HE HAD ALL THE CONNECTIONS FOR UPDATING, PAINTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, MARKETING...THE LIST GOES ON. IT DEFINITELY PAYS TO WORK WITH A PRO!

Brett - Andover - January 2018

I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD WITH PAUL EKSTROM. HE AND HIS TEAM ARE SECOND TO NONE IN THE NORTHERN SUBURBS. THERE MAY BE MORE ADVERTISED REALTORS OUT THERE, BUT NOBODY BEATS THE AMOUNT OF REPEAT AND REFERRAL BUSINESS THAT PAUL HAS AND THAT ALONE SPEAKS VOLUMES.

About Paul

My background has been in sales since I was 16 years old working for a furniture store in a small town in WI where I grew up. I have always been a huge Vikings, Twins and North Stars fan since the only T/V stations we could get were from the Twin Cities. I knew from an early age that I would eventually move to the Twin Cities. Personally, I enjoy working out, golfing and boating but I enjoy time most when I am with my family. I have been married to my life and work partner, Janelle, for 31 years and we have two beautiful daughters. Amy works for our business and Jodi is busy traveling the world.

I got into Real Estate in 2006 just as the housing crisis was beginning. I figured if I could make it through that I could make it through anything! I spent 11 years under the Keller Williams umbrella as the Team Leader of The Paul Ekstrom Team. Realty ONE Group approached me in October 2017 about purchasing the first ROG franchise in Minnesota. I did a VIP tour early December in Irvine, CA (home office of ROG), and was awarded my franchise on 12/23/17. We opened our first office in Andover on May 4th, 2018, and our second office in NE Minneapolis on July 27th, 2019. We just opened our 3rd office in Alexandria, MN. Today Realty ONE Group Choice has over 100 agents and staff in 3 locations. We are licensed in MN & WI.
