You made buying a home so easy for my wife and I. We were grateful for how much patience you used in answering all of our questions and taking us to look at so many houses. You never pushed us into looking at something we were not interested in. We strongly recommend you to anyone looking at buying a new home.
Thank you so much for taking the extra effort to make our first home purchase successful. You were there guiding us through all the crucial and important steps! You really listened to what we wanted in our home and you found exactly what we were looking for - at an amazing price! If we ever outgrow this home, we'll definitely be calling you!
In all our dealings with Realtors over the past ten years, we have never met anyone as helpful and energetic as you have been. Without hesitation, we would highly recommend your service to anyone who is looking for an experienced Realtor who cares about getting things done and doing them right! Thanks for taking such good care of us, we couldn't have done it without you!
Thanks for all your help in making our "dream home" a reality. We really appreciated that you went the extra mile to get us the best price for our home. You are truly a professional.
Jose was very receptive to my specific needs and got my home sold quickly. He also went above and beyond making sure my home was safe while I was out of state. Would recommend to anyone!
I highly recommend Jose!!! He had great suggestions which we received over list for our home! We accepted an offer the same day it went on the market! He has such a great personality and can connect with anyone. He was also our agent for buying our new home. I had a long must have list and found our forever home less than two weeks!
This is the first time I have ever written a review about anybody, but Jose and his teammate Robert Kessler deserve the highest recommendation. They had a very tough task in working with us, because of qualification issues, differences in lifestyles between my wife and myself and closing. We met with Jose and his teammate Robert Kessler. They listened carefully too what was important too both of us and came up with some wonderful homes for us too view. Specifically, Jose always had a professional book of the homes we were viewing and was excellent at noticing the positive and negative in a home. He noticed so many things that would have escaped my attention. He was always positive and fun too be around. He was so good at finding homes that would be acceptable too us, that in a couple of weeks, the kind of house that we both loved became available in Golden Valley. He brought us too it and we put in an offer that was accepted. When the closing went poorly (Wells Fargo) they were their too make sure the deal didn't fall through and we're now living in a great home. These guys are professional, courteous, thorough, patient, helpful and very nice people etc. It's great having a team of realtors working for you and they're the best!
Jose made my home buying process such an amazing experience! I am a first time home buyer and felt so taken care of! Jose was extremely professional, diligent, caring and just the best person to work with! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase there next home! He found my son and I a perfect home I instantly fell in love with! We are so blessed to have met Jose and I know he will help you find your next dream home!!
Working with Jose was a joy! His knowledge of the area was excellent. He answered a million questions and helped us through selling a condo through an estate. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, responsive and a great support through the process. We would highly recommend working with Jose Kosar! Doug & Mary Pernula
We have bought and sold two homes with Jose. He always makes himself available to talk to alleviate any concerns that we had during the process. The two homes that we sold had multiple offers, undoubtedly due to the way that Jose marketed our houses. You would have a hard time finding a better realtor than Jose! Jose is simply the best!
Jose was great to work with! He helped my wife and I sell our current home and purchase a new one. He was on top of communication, connected us with vendors to update our homes (i.e. carpet, painting), and guided us through the negotiation process. I highly recommend Jose!
We recommend Jose wholeheartedly! My husband and I were first-time homebuyers, and he guided us gracefully through every step of the process. He is an absolute expert. We went in casting a wide net in terms of type of home and neighborhoods--and he patiently and expertly helped us narrow in on the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood. He is a talented negotiator and got us a great deal on our house even in this crazy market. And on top of it all, he is a complete joy to work with!
When we bought our home Bob did a market study and was able to negotiate a 5% discount off of the asking price. We weren't the only ones interested in the home so we were very happy with his expertise and talent. When we sold my mother's home, his kindness and patience made her feel safe and well taken care of. We highly recommend Bob Kessler.
Bob and his associate Jose were key to our success in a timely relocation to our new home in Minnesota. They sent us multiple listings for review prior to our move, and when we found the one that we really wanted, they acted promptly to ensure we were the successful bidders in the current incredibly hot real estate market. We couldn't be more grateful to Bob and Jose, and we would recommend them to anyone purchasing a home in this area.
Bob is a consummate pro who blends his ability to create professional and personal connections to offer a bespoke home buying experience. The process of buying our home couldn't have gone smoother thanks to Bob and his diligence. He worked both with us and the sellers/their agent to make sure everything was covered between purchase agreement and closing day. We already have recommended numerous friends use Bob for their home search and buying experience.
Bob and Jose are amazing to work with. I have worked with Bob and Jose on a few different properties and they never disappoint. Working through this competitive market, Bob and Jose made the process as easy as possible and they were on top of everything through the whole process. I have referred clients and friends to Bob and Jose because of their service.

I trust Bob implicitly! He helped me find the perfect house in a very difficult market. As a first-timer buyer navigating a seller’s market, Bob helped me to stay positive through all the ups and downs. He took me through every house I came across, even at very short notice. He always explained things clearly when I had questions. When we found the right house, he was at his best striking a deal that got me the house of my dreams. On a personal level, Bob is a kind, positive and funny person. You end up spending a lot of time with your realtor, and it’s a pleasure to do so when Bob is your agent. He’ll be mine for life, and I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in the Twin Cities.

Bob was a pleasure to work with during the stress of selling our house. He is very attentive & replied promptly to any questions that arose by us. Bob is highly knowledgeable about the best suggestions & ideas for securing a sale. If we were to return to the state of Minnesota, we would definitely look him up!
Bob sold our old house, and more important, helped us purchase a new house. In the purchase of the new house, which was not on the market yet, his expertise was invaluable--he got the realtor who was going to sell the house not to have an open house, which allowed us to buy it with a full price offer without going into multiple offers and overbids. Most significantly, he was a great source of information on other professionals, especially for inspections. Last, he made a point of being on site for the loan appraisals (at both of our houses) so the appraisers understood the values. This made the loan processes for us and our buyer much easier. Bob really works his listings hard, and gave us lots of good advice when we sold our old house. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in Minnesota or Wisconsin!

As a first time home buyer, working with Bob and José from Coldwell was a fantastic experience. They were keen to listen to my priorities for a home and their knowledge and passion for real estate showed in each step of the process - from touring homes to making competitive offers and ultimately negotiating closing. Their expertise for homes and market conditions made me feel at ease as they were able to thoroughly assess each home's strengths and weaknesses, if it was fairly valued for its features and location, and their honest thoughts on the property. Bob and José were also great from a communication and education perspective. They frequently scouted new homes to tour that fit my interests and taught me about the home buying process. As I had questions or follow ups they were very prompt in finding answers and solutions - communicating with listing agents and colleagues to get more information and negotiating the best possible outcome for me as their client. For the closing process, they navigated a critical part of the purchase with ease and got a result that exceeded my expectations. Bob and José's experience is something I felt lucky to have throughout the process, they've worked in the Minneapolis market for decades as someone new to the experience it was reassuring to have their insight for making key decisions. There are many steps that go into buying or selling a home, some exciting and some less so - Bob and José took on the tough parts for me making the experience smooth and positive. Beyond real estate they are people that are a pleasure to get to know, and as realtors you know you're working with the best. I'll be working with them again when it comes time for the next phase of my housing journey!
Bob Kessler has been our realtor for buying and selling several homes. He has always provided absolutely excellent advice and service. He is always immediately responsive and is a very able negotiator working on our behalf. He is very aware of market forces and changes and very able to work within those frameworks.
I have worked with Bob Kessler for many transactions over 20 years both purchasing and selling. He is a consummate professional. I have referred him to my friends and now my family. It’s great to work with such a great realtor and his team.

Bob is the REAL DEAL. We found Bob through a referral from a relocation service, but interviewed many referrals, friends' realtors and the like, and chose Mr. Kessler because he was so professional, prepared, and knowledgeable from the get-go. Boy, are we glad we did- our first instincts were only reinforced throughout our entire time working with Bob. Here's what we experienced with Mr. Kessler and his team: 1-he was always on top of the local sale trends in the quickly changing market 2-he knew how to price our home to sell quickly, competitively and to ultimately get top price 3-he knew how to best present and market our home to its target clientele 4-he had the resources to help us quickly get ready for sale 5-he was clear with communications, objectives and suggestions, but open to our input and feedback, too 6-he worked diligently through the complex corporate relocation process and knew the protocols well 7-he was responsive, accessible, professional, and just an all-around pleasure to work with in such a demanding and stressful situation As mentioned before, Bob is the REAL DEAL. We feel so lucky to have had the pleasure to have worked with him and his team. In this world of fast-paced real estate transactions, Bob made our difficult transition go more smoothly, successfully and quickly than we ever could have imagined!
Bob came recommended from a friend. Bob was attentive, focused, communicative, and personable. He communicated at pivotal points and kept us apprised often of the progress as well as moving parts. Since he was working on selling and buying, his workload was intense, but Bob was always calm and thoughtful. Now that we moved into our new home, Bob checks in with us to make sure we made a good decision. He is a class act and would highly recommend him to help rent, sell, or buy your next home.
Bob is such an amazing real estate agent! He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful. He was so informative in helping us make decisions. He was very responsive and went out of his way for us many times. Jose had such an eye for detail for the pictures and preparation for selling. They were a great team. We would highly recommend them as agents.
My home-buying experience with Bob was, without exception, the best real estate experience I’ve had, and I’ve had many. He is professional, reliable, knowledgeable about the local market and can smoothly navigate through challenging or unforeseen circumstances—always with a positive attitude and assurance that things will work out. And they always do! I would confidently refer anyone looking for real estate assistance, knowing they will be in the best hands out there.
I have worked with Bob Kessler for many transactions over 20 years both purchasing and selling. He is a consummate professional. I have referred him to my friends and now my family. It’s great to work with such a great realtor and his team.
Jose Kosar was phenomenal to work with; both in finding a home; evaluating options and making a competitive offer. We found something so quickly after starting with him, it was a very successful experience. Plus he’s great to work with and very responsive.
Jose Kosar was excellent! We highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable and caring. He helped us find our perfect home and supported us throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
Jose and Bob were amazing!! From the time I spoke with Jose on the phone for the first time all the way to closing, they were very responsive, had the details and answers to my questions and provided peace of mind. We entrusted them to provide the advice and guidance to get our home ready to sell, and it was spot on! Our house looked brand new again with a little bit of elbow grease, fresh paint, and clean or replaced carpet! This perspective and showcasing sold our house in just a few short days for full asking price and a very quick close! Bob and Jose were there for us every step of the way and took out the anxiety of the home selling process. I had 100% confidence and I would hands down recommend them to any friend, family member or stranger. Jose and Bob are the most professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and personable experts I know in the industry!
Bob is an outstanding real estate agent. He has participated in selling at least 40 properties in which I had an ownership interest. Each sale was professionally and successfully handled by him.
The team, of Bob Kessler and Jose Kosar, is so amiable and easy to work with, you don't realize at first they are a power team. First, the attention to detail in making sure your property looks it best by using professional photographers, brochures and advertising to give you a strong start. Then they follow up with each person who looks at your property to ensure no potential buyer is missed. We recommend this team!
My buying experience was a very positive one with Jose and Bob! I always felt like I was well informed and had a good team surrounding me. I would definitely recommend and will be contacting them again whenever I am looking for a new property.
ob and Jose proved to be the consummate professionals in successfully listing, showing and selling my property (townhouse). Their knowledge of the marketplace and best techniques for presenting the residence for quick sale (at a very good price) were invaluable. Over the years I have purchased and sold many homes and have never dealt with realtors that possessed the high level of skills, knowledge and abilities that Bob and Jose demonstrated. I would recommend them (without reservations) to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home.
Bob Kessler and Jose did an absolute phenomenal job preparing my home to be on the market and getting my home sold in a timely manner. From professionally staging my home to be picture perfect by Jose and Bob always available to have open houses, I would recommend them both to EVERYONE. Very professional and left a lasting impression with having a positive attitude and go getter demeanor.
From the moment we phoned Bob and Jose - we had a good feeling about them, and when we met in person - we knew we found the perfect team to help us with our real estate needs. Bob and Jose were sincere from the get go and realistic in their assessment of pricing, staging, etc. in order to sell the condo with ease. We had phoned other agents to compare our first impressions and Bob and Jose were professional and very customer service oriented. They presented us with hard bound books on our first meeting with comps and all the information we needed to know we were in exemplary hands. We were right and they lived up to all of our expectations and far exceeded them. They gave us every helpful suggestion to get the condo ready for the market, took professional pictures, added the listing to the internet and held our hands every step of the way. They know the city and the market, they understand the buyers and are willing to do what it takes, but most importantly - they do it with a smile and a positive attitude. You owe it to yourself to work with this wonderful duo and we are so glad that we did, and we will use them again for our future real estate needs.
Our family has benefited from Bob Kessler’s experience through 4 transactions - some simple and straightforward and one with layers of complexity. Bob stays cool, keeps every body informed and works diligently to resolve issues. No realtor that I know works harder for a client
Jose and Bob were excellent! They helped me find my very first home. They walked me through the process and answered all of my questions. They were very accommodating and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy a home!
As a first time home buyer, I did not know what to expect. Jose explained the process very well and made things as easy as they can be for someone new to real estate! He got me the house I wanted at a fair price.
Bob Kessler is a an absolute delight to work with. He is always professional and knowledgeable. We have used him for several real estate transactions and referred him to anyone we know looking to buy and\or sell a home. He makes the entire process easy and fun!
Awesome experience, very knowledgeable! Helped me buy my first townhome walked me through the process step by step and ensured that I got the house I wanted for the price I wanted!
We would highly recommend Bob Kessler. From our first meeting, we felt Bob was looking after our best interests while maintaining a high sense of integrity and ethics. Bob's sense of humor helped to temper the stress and anxiety associated with selling a home. He was a good communicator and polite to us as well as all those we dealt with. He guided us through the process of pricing our sale price with statistics to back up his opinions. We felt confident in Bob's negotiation skills and we're very happy with the experience and outcome overall.
Jose and Bob are fantastic! We were extremely picky and looked at tons of properties before finding "The One. They were both willing to work around our schedules to show us the long list of homes and were very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and history of the homes we saw. They also helped to sell our old home and made it so quick and easy for us. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new place to call home.
I worked with both Jose Kosar, and Bob Kessler. From the first conversation, I knew I was working with the right people. They went completely above and beyond in terms of accommodating my schedule, setting up viewings, and offering ideas/recommendations. The absolute best part of the experience was how low pressure they were. I never once felt pressured to make a decision too quickly, look at something outside of my price range, or make an over-inflated offer. Even once I was already moved in (months later), Jose took it upon himself to help with some of the little issues the seller needed to resolve. This was my first home-buying experience, which I was worried would be a stressful or difficult process. These guys made it an absolute pleasure.
Bob was very honest and professional throughout the entire process of listing and selling my mother's condo. He and Jose gave me excellent advise in order to determine listing price and what did and did not need to be done to the condo prior to putting it on the market. I do not live in Minnesota and they managed many details for me. We had an unusual closing situation and Bob gave me support and advise along the way. Bob always returned calls and texts immediately and checked in regularly to keep me updated. I would recommend Bob without any hesitation.
I highly recommend Jose!!! He had great suggestions which we received over list for our home! We accepted an offer the same day it went on the market! He has such a great personality and can connect with anyone. He was also our agent for buying our new home. I had a long must have list and found our forever home less than two weeks!
