I'm excited to share some big news — Nancy Eickhoff is officially a Realtor!

Many of you have known Nancy for years. She’s been working alongside me at Edina Realty since 2003, helping with clients, transactions, and all the behind-the-scenes details that go into serving our clients.

I’ve had a front-row seat to Nancy’s work for more than 20 years, and I couldn’t be more excited to see her step into this new role.

She’s a great listener, pays attention to the details, stays calm when things get complicated, and genuinely cares about people.

And there’s something pretty exciting about this next chapter…

When you work with Nancy, you’re getting both of us.

Two Realtors. Two sets of eyes. Twice the help.

Please take a few minutes to watch our video and get to know Nancy a little better. I think you’ll see why I’m so excited to have her officially join me as a Realtor.

Congratulations, Nancy! I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. 🏡

“Could you lose your earnest money if your mortgage falls through?”

Your offer was accepted. You're excited. You're officially under contract. 🏡

But what happens if your lender says there's a problem with your financing?

Your financing contingency can be an important protection—but how that contingency is structured matters, especially when it comes to your earnest money.

In my newest video, I explain the financing contingency in the Minnesota Purchase Agreement, including:

✔️ The two financing-contingency options
✔️ When your earnest money could be at risk
✔️ What the lender's written statement means
✔️ How buyers can structure an offer in a multiple-offer situation
✔️ What buyers and sellers should consider before checking those boxes

I've spent more than 30 years helping buyers and sellers navigate these contracts. My goal is simple: help you understand what you're signing before there's a problem.
