        <title>Seeing the Possibilities: How AI is Changing the Homebuying Experience</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
You’re standing in a living room and looking at a fireplace. There’s red brick, family photos on the mantle, and beige walls behind it. It’s not quite your style, and it’s hard to imagine where you fit between these personal touches. But what if, in a matter of seconds, you could see that same room with a different wall color, updated finishes, and your own design aesthetic? 


A recent Berg Larsen Group client did exactly that using artificial intelligence. 


  


         The Listed Property                         The AI Exploration                             The Finished Result


“I stood there and watched a prospective homebuyer’s mindset shift from ‘I don’t know if this is for me,’ to, ‘Oh wow, I can see the possibilities’,” says Chad Larsen. 


Homebuyers have always tried to envision what a property could become. Not long ago, that might have meant collecting inspiration on a Pinterest board, flipping through design magazines, or comparing before-and-after photos. Today, AI offers another tool for bringing those ideas to life in a matter of seconds. 


Bringing Possibilities to Life


For this particular buyer, AI became a creative tool for exploring how a home could reflect her personal style. She could quickly visualize different wall colors, furniture arrangements, and design choices that were more her own.


“Artificial intelligence is changing the way people search for homes, prepare properties for the market, and explore what’s possible,” explains Barry Berg. 


“It’s not just the home buyers and sellers that are utilizing these tools,” adds Chad. “Our industry partners are exploring them as well.”


Berg Larsen Group has worked with professional photographers for years to showcase properties through both photography and video. Today these firms are also incorporating AI-powered virtual staging and other visualization tools into their work.


“If you’ve looked through listings on our website, you’ve likely seen virtual staging without even realizing it,” says Chad. “It’s an incredible tool for helping people look beyond what’s currently in a room and get a better sense of its potential.”


For buyers, that might mean imagining a traditional room with more contemporary furnishings. For sellers, it can help showcase an otherwise unfurnished or vacant home as being full of life for the online MLS presentation. It helps to captivate buyers at the most critical time, when they are first viewing the property online. Now, the technology has improved so much that images can remove an owner’s existing furnishings that might have a more specific appeal than what the current buyers are seeking. In its place, AI can insert furnishings that can demonstrate how a space might work for the next owner. 


For many buyers it is a challenge to imagine the possibilities in a home, let alone the whole house. Berg Larsen Group has also been leaning into AI to offer inspiration for vacant land listings. Builders have been offering sketched renderings for years. Now AI, with some guidance and data points, can generate imagery of homes of varying styles. This helps buyers to fuel their imagination and see the potential of an otherwise vacant lot or ‘tear-down’ property. 


Experience Matters


Just as technology continues to evolve, AI will undoubtedly continue to play a role in real estate and other industries.


“Chad and I think of it as one more resource that helps our clients see the possibilities and make informed decisions,” says Barry. 


But like every resource, AI tools have their limitations. They will never replace thoughtful guidance, trusted relationships, and decades of real estate experience. Those are the insights that match people with the homes that are right for them, season after season.

        <title>Do Your Due Diligence: What Every Upper-Bracket Buyer and Seller Should Know About Home Inspections</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Beautiful homes deserve careful evaluation. Whether you’re investing in a historic Minneapolis home or selling your Downtown condominium, inspections provide the clarity needed to make informed decisions. 


Chad Larsen and Barry Berg don’t view inspections as a tool to identify flaws with a property. They believe inspections yield invaluable findings that help you understand a home beyond what meets the eye. 


Sellers - Don’t Skip It


Contrary to popular belief, inspections aren’t just beneficial for buyers. 


Chad and Barry encourage clients to complete certain property specific inspections prior to listing to minimize unexpected surprises down the road. 


“If I’m helping a client list their home that was built in the last 30-40 years with a stucco exterior, I will likely recommend they test the exterior to ensure there aren’t any moisture issues,” explains Barry. “I tend to recommend doing such a test up front so that we can provide a clean bill of health or let prospective buyers know there’s a minor issue ahead of time to reduce time during the inspection period.


Chad adds, “Knowing the status of any potential issues allows us to make strategic adjustments and strengthen buyer confidence.”


Ultimately, a $200 repair now can save sellers weeks of back and forth during the closing process whether an issue arises during the inspection or not.  


Buyers - Inspections Matter


When you’re purchasing a home, it’s never going to be “perfect.” Whether it’s a cosmetic change like paint color or something that arises during an inspection, there will always be an item on your to-do list. 


The point of an inspection isn’t to take the wind out of your sails – it’s to answer questions like “Are there any maintenance issues I can’t see?”, “Has this home been well maintained over the years?”,  and “What should I budget over the next 5-10 years for repairs?”


Most of the time, any imperfections that come to light during an inspection aren’t going to send you spinning. Instead, inspections uncover the history and condition of a property so that you can plan accordingly and make informed decisions. 


Inspections for the Upper-Bracket


A general home inspection covers things like the structure, foundation, electrical work, plumbing, visible moisture, and more. 


“This is the base-level inspection that we encourage almost every client to get,” says Chad.


However, upper-bracket homes warrant a closer look – a roof inspection, masonry and chimney inspection, moisture evaluation, Radon testing, sewer scope, or others. 


“These specialized services allow us to know a property beyond what meets the eye,” says Barry. “For example, a sewer scope is an excellent tool to identify potential issues in the sewer line. Spending several hundred dollars on one of these assessments can inform your choices down the line.”


Chad adds, “Many of our clients are interested in purchasing an older home, so certain environmental testing can be extremely helpful in identifying issues. Radon testing is always wise. And depending on the findings of the general inspection other environmental tests like mold, asbestos, and lead paint may be wise to consider.”


Your Inspection Experts


Inspections can feel like another chore to add to your moving list, but it brings peace of mind.


“We can provide recommendations for vetted inspectors, and we work with our clients afterwards to interpret the findings, prioritize next steps, and ultimately negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than surprise,” says Chad. 


“The goal of an inspection isn't to create a punch list,” says Barry. “It's to understand the home.”


Whether you’re buying or selling, the insights inspections yield are one of the most valuable investments you can make. They provide clarity and create opportunities for thoughtful planning that will help you move forward with confidence.

        <title>Planning to sell? Find out which home improvements help you maximize value before listing – and which ones don’t. </title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Properly pricing a home involves much more than price per square foot. Buyers evaluate condition, updates, layout and how move-in ready a property feels. That's why the work you do before listing can have a significant impact on both price and marketability.


However, not every dollar spent before listing your home will increase its value. Some projects help buyers see your home's full potential. Others simply transfer your money into someone else's dream renovation. 


Before listing your home, it’s important to determine which projects will actually improve marketability – and which won’t. Knowing the difference can mean a faster sale, stronger offers, and less stress.


Chad Larsen and Barry Berg regularly help sellers determine which projects are worth the investment, which improvements can boost buyer interest, and which expensive renovations are better left for the next owner. 


Check These Off Your List


Chad often tells sellers, “diligent speed.” 


This simple phrase encourages sellers to take the time to complete strategic improvements upfront so their home enters the market in its strongest position. That includes addressing small maintenance items, minimizing perceived “projects,” and presenting a home that feels move-in ready. 


Barry often tells sellers to “edit” their home before listing. Much like an editor removes unnecessary words from a manuscript, homeowners should remove excess furniture, decor, and clutter so buyers can focus on the home itself - not the belongings and personal touches that reflect your lifestyle.


From decluttering countertops and shelves to organizing closets and garages, editing allows buyers to see the architectural details, natural light, and quality finishes instead of your décor and personal items. It’s also essential for capturing solid listing photos. 


Take a look at the checklist below for some must-do items according to Chad and Barry. 





These Could Make a Big Difference


“If you want to stand above the crowd in the marketplace, you need to go the extra mile,” says Chad. “Step into the potential buyers’ shoes. You want this home to be as easy to move into as the home that you want to move into.” 


“You don’t have to do these things, but if you don’t do them, you’ll likely need to adjust the pricing,” explains Barry. “It may also take your home longer to sell in the marketplace.”


These recommendations are what will set your home apart from the rest, and can help align your property with the desired sale price.  





In some cases, larger investments such as roof replacements or new siding may make sense, particularly when deferred maintenance could limit buyer interest or create hiccups during inspection. 


“We can help you navigate those decisions and refer you to vetted experts in those areas,” adds Chad. 


Let the New Owner Decide


When you’re preparing your home to appeal to the next owners, there are some decisions that should be left in their hands.


For example, Barry recently advised his clients against adding a bathroom that appeared in the home’s original blueprints when they were preparing for the market. 


“I urged the sellers to leave that investment and decision to the future owner,” Barry recalls. 


And, that guidance paid off. The home sold within 36 hours of listing and drew four written offers all above ask. Read more about the clients’ experience working with Barry here.


Significant investments such as remodeling a kitchen or building a new bathroom are best left to the buyers, because ultimately what you choose likely won’t be their exact dream kitchen or bathroom. This often results in a lose-lose situation – the sellers lose money on the investment and the buyers spend more money remodeling it to their taste. 


Instead of spending money to create something new, Chad and Barry typically encourage sellers to maximize what’s already there. 


Take the Time to Be Prepared


In a tighter market where there are fewer buyers and fewer sellers, bringing a home that’s in good condition to the market will likely be your ticket to a quicker turnaround. 


If moving is on your mind, now is the time to meet with the Berg Larsen Group team and figure out what needs to be done so you’re ready to hit the ground running.

        <title>Moving with Confidence – Simple Recommendations Lead to Success</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
When Margy and Scott Ross welcomed their first grandchild in 2024, being closer to family full-time became a top priority. The two had enjoyed several decades in their beloved Eden Prairie home, but it was time to close that chapter and begin a new one in Portland, Oregon.


“It had been awhile since we worked with a Realtor,” says Margy. “So, I asked my bookclub friend about her moving process, and the name Barry Berg came up.”


Margy and Scott were already familiar with Barry’s name. As they explain, “his reputation preceded him.”


“We had already been speaking with several Realtors who primarily worked in the Eden Prairie area when we met with Barry,” says Margy.


But when Barry walked in, the couple was quick to take notice of his yellow legal pad.


“Barry took copious notes when we met with him,” says Margy. “It was clear that he’s detail-oriented and listens very intently.”


Whether you’re selling a longtime home or purchasing a new one, real estate decisions are often emotional. That’s why Margy and Scott wanted to work with a Realtor who could help transform a significant life transition into a smooth one.


“Barry gave us a punch list just with his eye,” says Margy.


“It was comprehensive,” Scott adds. “Shelf by shelf, closet by closet, room by room. He went through the whole house showing us how to declutter.” And yet, it was so simple and straightforward - not a long list, but a short and effective one.


For example, the couple was considering adding a bathroom that appeared in the home’s original blueprints. However, Barry advised them to leave that investment and decision to the future owner. That strategic guidance paid off.


“His judgments proved to be correct,” says Scott. “Our home was on the market for just 36 hours. It drew four written offers, all above ask.”


For the Rosses, the successful sale wasn’t simply about a strong result. It was about having a trusted guide who could help them navigate a major life change with clarity and peace of mind.


“He was hands-on, and we had a lot of trust in his vetted experience,” Margy explains. “He just exudes competence, which gave us confidence.”

    <description> <![CDATA[ 
When you think about buying or selling a home, a Realtor is one of the first things that come to mind. But as Chad Larsen and Barry Berg discuss in the latest episode of Setting the Standard, a successful move often relies on a much broader team.


More Than Just Your Agent


Think of your Realtor as your coach. They offer guidance, outline strategy, and bring big league expertise. But like baseball, they’re not the only player on the field.


Behind every real estate transaction is a network of professionals each playing a distinct role. From stagers and photographers to lenders and contractors, there’s a team on the field working together. 


Want the Full Perspective?


Real estate is a team sport, and the right players make all the difference.


In the full episode, Chad and Barry share insights from years of experience to help you understand how each role can come into play. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or Vimeo channels to learn more about what happens behind the scenes of every move.

        <title>Spring Has Sprung</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The spring market is in full motion. New listings are hitting the market, buyers are out touring homes, and properties are trading hands at a steady pace. Activity is building week by week 


What you need to know is that this is the window where momentum really matters, and where preparation meets opportunity. 


Why Spring?


Whether they have children or not, people tend to build their schedules around the school year – busy summers, focused falls, steady winters, and invigorated springs. 


“Buyers often look for their new home in the spring so they can be settled in by the beginning of summer,” says Chad Larsen. “We see lots of properties coming onto the market in February, March, and April so that closings happen in May and June.”


Spring Season is Showing Season


It’s no surprise that homes in Minnesota show well this time of year compared to the winter months. With warmer weather, longer hours of sunlight, and no snow obscuring the ground, prospective buyers can visualize the landscaping, imagine afternoons by the pool, and plot out their scenic weekend walks.  


“Showings are at the center of the spring momentum,” says Barry Berg. “They’re where interest becomes instinct, and where decisions begin to take shape.” 


For sellers, each showing is a chance to make a strong, immediate impression. Clean spaces, thoughtful presentation, and natural light all play a role in how a home is experienced and remembered.


For buyers, showings bring clarity. Walking through a home transforms it from an idea into something tangible, and it’s often where you get that gut “a-ha” feeling. 


Guidance Rooted in Experience 


As we approach the end of April, we’re seeing an abundance of buyers and sellers already in motion. They’re preparing their homes, refining their searches, and reaching out to trusted experts so they’re ready to jump when the right opening appears.


Chad Larsen and Barry Berg draw on decades of experience to help clients make the most of each opportunity. From preparing your home for showings to knowing when to act, the Berg Larsen Group ensures every step is intentional and informed. 


This is an active, energized time in the market. The moment is now, and we’re here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

        <title>The Condo Community</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Frequent travel. Empty nesting. Shifting priorities. Less upkeep and fewer responsibilities. People transition from single-family homes to condos, often discovering that it’s a whole new way of thinking about home ownership. This week’s podcast highlights the nuances and considerations that go into finding the condo community that’s right for your needs. 


A Neighborhood within a Neighborhood


Home buyers are encouraged to explore the neighborhoods that interest them – to see the proximity to work, schools and shopping. With condos, that concept extends even further. 


Not only is the building in a neighborhood, but the building is a neighborhood. From the number of units to the culture of the building, each property offers a distinct living experience and sense of community. 


Consider three different condo buildings in Downtown Minneapolis. With more than 400 units, RiverWest Condominiums is a large and vibrant neighborhood. Down the street, you’ll find The Carlyle which is home to more than 200 units. While still a sizable neighborhood, you’re more likely to see some of the same folks when you’re walking through the lobby. Just a few blocks down the riverfront, Stone Arch Lofts offers 36 units – an intimate community of condo owners. Check out our current listings.


HOAs are the ABCs of Condo Living


The convenience associated with condo living isn’t a coincidence – it’s a structure outlined and managed by the building’s HOA (home owners association). 


Rules, regulations, and dues are an integral part of the condo lifestyle. From pet policies to financial reserves for building maintenance, it’s essential to review these details prior to purchasing a unit. Understanding how a building is managed, how future repairs are funded, and what costs to expect can make all the difference in finding the right condo for you. 


In Minnesota, buyers receive detailed documents that outline everything from financials to building rules. Clients tell Barry Berg and Chad Larsen how much they appreciate their guidance and expertise while reviewing the paperwork. 


One client says, “I didn’t understand all the terminology or purpose, so (they) distilled it for me, explaining what to expect, how healthy HOAs function, and what you should be looking for to ensure it’s set up for continued success.”


And, another client says, “I really leaned on (them) to know the buildings and communities.”


Take a peek at some of our condo client stories. 


Hear From the Experts – Firsthand


Condo living offers incredible opportunities, and finding the right unit requires thoughtful consideration. 


In the latest Setting the Standard episode, Chad and Barry share insights drawn from both professional experience and their own lives as longtime condo owners. Watch the full conversation on our YouTube or Vimeo channel.

        <title>Sellers: Prepare Your Home to Shine</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
In the latest episode of Setting the Standard, Chad Larsen and Barry Berg continue their “Two P’s” series, Pricing and Presentation, with a closer look at what it means to present your home in the best light. 


Presentation Begins with Perspective


When a prospective buyer walks through your door, you don’t want them to see your life in the home – you want them to picture their own. 


Your role as a seller is to make this imaginative process easier for prospective buyers through editing and decluttering. This allows buyers to see the architectural details, natural light, and quality finishes instead of your décor and personal items. 


Diligent Speed


Chad often says, “diligent speed,” meaning sellers should take the time to do the right things upfront so their home enters the market in its strongest position. 


That includes addressing small maintenance items, minimizing perceived “projects,” and presenting a home that feels move-in ready. 


Impressions Matter


You’ve likely heard Chad and Barry mention previously that nowadays, the first showing often happens online. By the time prospective buyers step into your property, expectations have already started to form. That means your job as a seller is to ensure your home delivers. From maintaining landscaping, neutralizing wall colors, clearing surfaces, and more, it’s critical that your home helps buyers feel a sense of ease. 


These impressions also extend beyond what buyers see. Clear, thoughtful disclosures can help build trust and confidence. When buyers have the full picture, they're better equipped to move forward. 


Listen to the full episode on our YouTube or Vimeo channel to hear Chad and Barry’s practical strategies for helping your home stand out and resonate with today’s buyers. Stay tuned for the next episode, The Condo Community, which will be available on April 7.

        <title>When “The Price is Right”</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
When it comes to selling your home, two factors carry the most weight: pricing and presentation. Today, we’re focusing on pricing because getting it right from the start can make all the difference.


Buyers Know the MarketBuyers arrive well informed. By the time they step into your home, they’ve already seen several others and spent time assessing value across the market. While factors like condition, location, school districts, and proximity to amenities all play a role, pricing is ultimately what determines whether a potential buyer takes the next step.


Understanding True Market ValueRealistically, a home’s value is determined by what the buyers are willing to pay for the property in today’s market. Commonly cited metrics like price per square foot often fall short, as factors such as age, updates, layout, and condition vary widely between homes.


The most reliable way to figure out price is by looking at recently sold homes similar to yours. These transactions reflect real buyer behavior and provide the clearest picture of how your home will be positioned in the market.


Why the Right Price MattersBuyers are paying close attention when a new home comes on the market. A well-positioned price ensures the property is competitive and attracts serious interest from informed buyers when they are most interested.


Price your home too low, and you risk leaving money on the table. Price it too high and you may miss that initial window of opportunity, often leading to extended time on the market.


At the Berg Larsen Group, careful analysis of market data and buyer behavior helps ensure homes are priced where the market will support them. The goal is simple: position your home where the market will respond so you can achieve the strongest possible outcome in the right timeframe.
