Jeremy Kolars - Realty Executives Associates Selling Homes is My Profession | Helping People is My Passion | How Can I Help?

WHAT MATTERS MOST

My highest priority is to make the process of buying or selling a home easy, comfortable, and fun for my clients. Buying a home is a big decision, and one that requires attention to detail, so having the right plan in place will allow for an enjoyable experience. My intention is to achieve this through understanding my clients personally and maintaining consistent communication

and partnership with them throughout the process to ensure all of their needs are met, before and after closing. ABOUT ME

I was born in Mankato, grew up in Arizona, but chose to come back to Mankato in November of 2004 with my wife Krista as we wanted to set our roots down closer to family. We both love the area, and sense of community Mankato has to offer, and enjoy raising our two girls here. I attended college at Arizona State University where I studied Computer Information Systems and Business Management on a full ride scholarship from 1996-2000. Out of college I have held a handful of supervisory and management positions both in production and customer service, most recently as a Customer Service Supervisor for Verizon Wireless in Mankato. These roles have helped me learn a lot about understanding what motivates people personally and professionally, but most importantly the power of listening to my client’s needs to drive truly successful and meaningful end results. As a Christian, I have a deep seated appreciation for doing the right thing to help people and am highly engaged in practicing with ethics at all times. I have been through quite a few personal trials, with successful liver transplantation in 2008, loss of our first daughter to stillbirth in 2010, battling then beating cancer in late 2016, and successfully managing a rare blood disorder since 2020, so I feel that my faith and drive to remain optimistic in the face of adversity is an asset to my clients. To put it simply, I won’t give up or back down when it comes to advocating for you. I am passionate about real estate because I know how important buying and selling a home can be for my clients. I am also fortunate to have a unique bond with my brother Andrew who has been practicing real estate sales in the Greater Mankato Area since 2000. Together, in 2019 we created a business mindset called Difference Makers, where our approach to the business is driven around making clients our extended family and promoting life long relationships that help to successfully nurture the community we love so much. I look forward to earning your trust, and partnering with you to achieve the results you truly deserve!
