November News, Events & Announcements!
Welcome to our November 2025 News 🗞️ and Events Announcements!
We’re excited to share the latest updates in the Minneapolis real estate market, upcoming events, recent client successes, and the hot deals we’ve found for you. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, an experienced investor, or simply checking in, we hope you find something valuable here.
In November, our focus shifted to celebration, achievement, and looking ahead. We attended the annual eXp Realty ICON Convention in Miami together (Sean, Blanca & Victoria), and were honored to earn the prestigious ICON award for the fifth consecutive year! This accomplishment is a testament to the trust and support of our amazing clients and friends, thank you for being a part of this 20-year journey with us.
We’ll also share an update on our recent buyer closing in Minnesota, plus insider insights on why new construction represents a smart buying opportunity right now. And finally, keep an eye out, if you’ve been with us, we’ll be sending an invitation soon for our next client event.
ICON Award & eXp Convention Recap
We were honored to spend time in Miami at the eXp Convention, surrounded by other top real estate professionals, learning, networking, and celebrating. The ICON status is reserved for agents who meet substantial production thresholds and uphold leadership and service standards within the eXp community.
Receiving the ICON award for the fifth year in a row is something we couldn’t have done without you, our clients, referral partners, and friends. Your ongoing support over two decades means everything to us.
The timing couldn’t be better for new construction. Builders in Minnesota are offering significant incentives—rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, free upgrades, and outright price cuts.
Some builders are offering interest rates as low as 4.99%, which can save hundreds of dollars per month compared to older resale homes.
New homes also bring long-term value: better HVAC systems, modern windows, builder warranties, and fewer surprise repairs. With many utilities offering efficiency incentives, the cost of owning new construction can be lower over time. And with inventories increasing, buyers have more choices than in past years. Whether you’re buying your first home or your next investment, new construction deserves attention.

November Closing Spotlight: Minnesota Success Story
On November 3rd, we celebrated a successful buyer closing at Kristie Lane in Minnesota. Our client came prepared, had a clear vision, and moved with precision. With our team guiding them through negotiation, inspection, and closing, we were thrilled to hand over the keys to their new home. It was a reminder that even in a competitive market, the right strategy leads to success.

And even as we close this chapter, we’re excited to share: while only one property closed this month, we currently have three executed contracts underway, all in inspection so the momentum is strong for our buyer clients heading into the winter season.
Your #1 Expense in Life?
Most people think their biggest expense in life is their mortgage, their kids’ college tuition, or even taxes. But truthfully, your #1 expense isn’t any of those. It’s inaction.
(A .25% rate cut on 10/17 definitely should not be what holds you back)
Missed opportunities — the business you never started, the investment you never made.
Missed relationships — the person you never asked out, the friendship you never built.
Missed growth — the chances you had to level up but passed on.
When you don’t act, the cost compounds. You lose time, money, and experiences you can’t get back.
In real estate, we see this every day. Families in Minneapolis, Dallas, and even Mexico who chose to act are now building equity, memories, and futures in homes they love. The best time to buy real estate was yesterday, but the next best time is today. Waiting on interest rates or “perfect timing” often means paying the invisible but very real price of lost opportunity.
The same is true in life. I wouldn’t have the family, the career, or the adventures I do now if I hadn’t taken action years ago.
So here’s the challenge: Think about where inaction is costing you the most. And then, take one step forward today.
If that step is in real estate, we’d love to help you find your place to grow, connect, and thrive. #teamseanandblanca
