Josh Echoles

Working with Scott to buy a duplex as my first home has been a great experience from start to finish! I'm someone who knows embarrassingly little about houses but when looking at properties Scott provided tons of helpful information. He's also very knowledgeable on multifamily investing, since he does it himself, and provided me with great resources to help me as a first time landlord. Not only was Scott great to work with but through his network he connected me with many other excellent people who helped in the buying process. I would definitely recommend Side by side to anyone looking into investment property!

Rachel Hemsey

We worked with Drew for the purchase of our second duplex and it was absolutely wonderful! Drew and his team add so much value through their experience and expertise with multi-family homes. Drew builds amazing relationships, is super smart, and is genuinely just fun to be around. Our transaction ended up being unexpectedly complicated and we would’ve never known it because of the hard work that Drew did behind the scenes. Highly recommend Side by Side!!

Caleb Shea

While walking through homes with Scott, it is so clear that he draws from a wealth of knowledge from years of working in the investment real estate market. While giving feedback, he always kept our goals in mind. He expertly maneuvered seller negotiations and locked down a great deal for us in a tough market. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a house, especially a buyer looking at multi-family.

Skylar Bliek

Working with Drew Hoefler to buy a multi family home was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable about the entire process, easy to work with, and has creative solutions to writing offers and closing on a property. We really appreciate his enthusiastic attitude and dedication to helping us find a great property to call home.

Riley Behr

I definitely recommend Drew Hoefler from Side by Side! We worked with Drew throughout the process of finding our first home. Drew is incredibly knowledgeable about all things home-buying, renovation, and general life advice. He helped us talk through difficult decisions and was very patient and responsive to our many questions.

Thomas Stewart

I vetted and interviewed 5 different real estate agents across different agencies before deciding on Scott. Here’s why I went with him: 1) Genuine and approachable. Not a trace of sales-y vibes here. 2) Experience. Around a decade of experience with combination of agency, landlording, investing, and rehabbing. Bonus: experience househacking with financial independence focus. 3) Investor mentality. Invests himself. 4) Well connected and networked. I just closed purchasing on a duplex last week, and here’s some thoughts post closing: 1) Scott is super active in the Twin Cities real estate investing community. He has a host of resources and knowledge available and has created one of the largest reputable RE investing Facebook groups in the twin cities. 2) He goes the extra mile. The man literally called me from the top of a mountain on vacation on a Saturday to tell me my offer was accepted. 3) He has been super supportive even in the post closing phase with landlording advice and ownership tips. Also Alyssa and Drew at Side by Side are legit. Have had good convos with both of them. :) I definitely trust this team to get the job done.

Calvin Schultz

Drew and Scott at Side by Side have been a blast to work with. I have now bought two properties with them. Each time they make the process very easy and fun. They are awesome people to be around and I can tell that they very much enjoy being real estate agents. They love helping people find their passion in real estate. Drew has been outstanding agent too work with and finds the exact property you are looking for and takes everything off your plate. If you are looking for a very professional, intelligent, funny and amazing realtor, I would highly suggest Drew and Scott at Side by Side Realty.

Joey

Scott and Drew were fantastic to work with! I had a super short closing period and they were very responsive and made sure the deal was closed on time! Both have extensive knowledge in single-family and multi-family investment properties. I used their knowledge to figure out what rent I might be able to expect for a property. They also gave a lot of great information about the area which was super helpful because I was new to Northeast Arts area at the time. They made the process painless and fast. I would definitely use them again!

Jordan Hines

Drew is the best! He’s knowledgeable, attentive to details, and is full of ideas to make the entire process easy and successful. He helped us craft an offer that got us our house on the first try. Anybody who is house shopping in 2022 knows that’s nothing short of a miracle! Do yourself a favor and hire Drew Hoefler and Side by Side!

Katie Bruck

Scott and his team were so great to work with. We found our home off market for a great price! We couldn't have been happier knowing all the work that was happening behind the scenes for us. Scott has been available all the time and answers all of our questions! Highly recommend Side by Side!

David Walbolt

Scott and Drew just helped me close on my first duplex. They made the process incredibly easy to understand for my first property. Not only are they professional, hard-working, and intelligent. But they look out for their clients best interest first. I always felt as though I could lean on them for advice when it came to anything real estate related. They have been incredible partners and even better friends. I would highly recommend using the Side by Side team for your real estate needs and I will certainly be using them for future investment properties!

Aaron Raney

My wife and I absolutely loved working with Drew as we are beginning our adventure as real estate investors and landlords! Drew is extremely knowledgeable and an invaluable resource for buying and managing multi-family properties, especially when it comes from his own personal experiences and lessons learned! In this market especially, the idea of searching for and buying a duplex was daunting. Drew was amazingly patient and understood our wants and needs in order to help us land our starter rental. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and am glad I now have a mentor in Drew to navigate this new real estate territory. Thank you Drew and Side by Side!

Peter Schultz

Scott, Drew, and the team at Side by Side are simply the best at what they do. If you are looking for someone who is going to treat you with the utmost of respect and decency you have found the right spot. Drew went above and beyond, working diligently for 5 months on a single deal for me and my family. If you are looking for investor friendly real estate agents, look no further. I am so grateful to this team for all of the support, care, kindness, and encouragement they provided from start to finish. I feel like I am walking away with a great property, a forever real estate team, and a friend. Thank you guys!

Kyle Nelson

We had a great experience with Side by Side Realty. Drew was forthright and responsive and always offered to share knowledge and connections to help us with our real estate investing. Happy to work with this team and looking forward to continued partnership in the future!

Logan Scholbrock

I’ve been shadowing Scott for the past month and I can’t articulate enough on how great the experience has been. I’ve learned so much from true professionals that know the industry as good as anyone. The community that I’ve been apart of in Side by Side for these weeks is truly something I’m blessed for.

Joel Merkens

Scott and Drew at Side by Side are so fun to work with. In my experience, they made the process of buying my first multi-family investment property very approachable. They gave me tools and knowledge to understand every aspect, and answered any question I might have had along the way. They also partner with people who do great work as well, so you know you’ll be taken care of. These guys treat every customer like family. I can’t say enough good things about Side By Side. I can’t wait to work with them again on another investment property!

dumis0 1

Scott and Drew were AWESOME! We did not know anything about investment properties when we started, but Drew and Scott walked us through each and every step until we got a property we love. They were very professional, honest, knowledgeable, patient and caring. They even went the extra mile of continuing to help and support us even after our purchase. We HIGHLY recommend Side by Side Realty and look forward to working with them more in the future!

Jennifer & Scott Hoefler

Drew and Scott are not only great agents but they are great people! Being an investor myself, I wouldn’t work with anyone else. They are knowledgeable, honest, hard working, customer driven, and approachable. They help new and experienced investors through a professional and positive experience. They understand that buying a home is a big accomplishment that may come with hurdles. Hurdles that they will work hand in hand with you on. Couldn’t recommend them enough!! Thank you Drew and Scott for being such great partners!

Graham Mink

My wife and I absolutely loved working with Drew as we searched for and bought our first single family home. Drew and his team have a wealth of knowledge and understanding on the housing market. Side by Side knows the market and what to look for in a home not from only market research, but also through hands on experience working with their own homes. Drew listened to our wants and needs and was both active and patient as we searched and visited homes. The process of buying a home can feel daunting for many, but Drew and his team made it exciting by being a mentor and a friend. They are some of the most outgoing people I've met and I could not recommend a better group.

Michael Renz

Side by Side is a great company with THE BEST people! My wife and I purchased a home from them last summer and this was our first home purchase. We had so many questions, and a lot to learn about the process of buying a home. Not only were Scott and Garrett great with the real estate side of things, but they are connected to other great people that help with your mortgage and closing. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, especially a first time home buyer- with the market the way it is currently, people may need to look at many different homes and Garrett without a doubt was great with this! The time and commitment that he put in made it felt like we were his only clients. Can't wait to work with these guys again in the future for our next home and investment properties!

Neil Mauler

Drew and Scott ( the dream team) are extremely driven and passionate about helping people throughout the entire home buying experience, they also have an excellent list of contacts to help with every other aspect of purchasing a property, Drew and Scott communicated every step of the process very well so there was no confusion and were always available for any questions i did have along the way. The big take aways from my experience with Drew and Scott are honesty, tireless work ethic, integrity and trustworthiness. I highly recommend these brothers to anyone looking to start the home buying process.

Brittney Lundeen

I recently purchased my first duplex while working with Drew and the Side by Side team. They completely exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier with the amazing service they provided. I had no hesitation trusting Drew and Scott since they are experienced investors themselves and all around great guys. Shortly after I told Drew I wanted to buy a duplex he found me an off market property at a great price. Being my first duplex, I was pretty nervous about not only the closing process, but the steps that come immediately after as I became a landlord. Drew was so patient with me even after I was texting him constantly with a hundred questions. He put my mind at ease and shared his knowledge with me about being a good landlord and made sure I knew what had to be done after closing with the current tenants transition. Drew and the Side by Side team make the entire process fun and take away the stress that usually comes with closing on a property. I can't wait to work with them again when finding my next duplex!

Rachel Garbe

Scott and Drew were beyond amazing to work with. After searching unsuccessfully for several months, Scott was recommended to us and we hit fast track! He took time to really educate us on what to look for in properties, see potential, and narrow down our search. With Scott and Drew's patience and attention we felt like we were the only clients. We ultimately found a home that was so much more than we expected to find and achieve dreams we thought weren't within our immediate plan. Scott and Drew made the process so fun and we are blessed to not only have found a great realtor team, but also to have found great friends!

Steve Dickman

Scott and Drew are excellent! We are still shopping for our first duplex, but they have been great with scheduling showings and “holding our hands” through the process. Being this will be our first investment property, they have been a terrific resource. They took a significant amount of time with us to learn about our goals and desires. We can tell they are looking for the right property for us based on these goals and not just any property. Scott and Drew are clearly looking out for our best interests.

Brandon Peters

Drew helped me through my first home purchase which was out of state so there was a huge amount of trust in his knowledge and professional expertise in real estate. Scott was wealth of knowledge when setting up my vacation home for Airbnb and gave priceless advice. I’d recommend these brothers and their side by side real estate team whether it’s your first home purchase or you’re an experienced real estate investor!

Iggy

I have always thought of realtors as sales people and working Drew was such a refreshing experience as he was genuinely interested and determined to find the right house for us. He built my trust by being both extremely knowledgeable as well as down to earth. He patiently worked with us for several months, always excited, until we found our perfect home. I felt like he had our back all the way to the end, and held our hands through the entire complicated buying process.

Michala Scott

Scott, Drew, and Alyssa were amazing! We have used them to find both of our recent homes and they have been such a pleasure to work with. They are extremely knowledgable about buying and selling real estate, making the process as much as a walk in the park as it could be! Thank you Side by Side for helpful us find our new home, we are so happy! :)

Ian Williams

Drew & Scott at Side by Side are simply THE BEST. Scott got us on-boarded immediately then Drew worked his tail off to bring us to the finish line. As a driven, and typically well-researched, individual I knew I didn't just want (or need) any realtor. Side by Side was there with us in lock step from beginning to end. They are beyond knowledgeable, professional, and deeply caring humans. Don't bother looking anywhere else or for anyone else to meet your real estate needs, they've got you covered.

Juliana Martinez

Drew and Scott are the realtors you want to help sell your house. They work fast, efficiently and they are very knowledgeable about the market and what sells and what doesn’t. Besides, Drew and Scott are super fun to work with. They keep the mood fun, happy and even when delivering less than desirable news, they always have a positive mindset. Any one that asks for a realtor referral, I tell them about Drew and Scott, and our friends have also had great experiences with them. Mark & Juliana

Erik Berghoff

in late 2018, I had taken out some equity I had in a previous investment and was looking to immediately put it towards the purchase of two new investment properties in the Minneapolis area. I found Andrew and his brother Scott and decided to give them a call. They were able to immediately provide me multiple options (off market and on) that fit my price range and location. Through the help of Side by Side Realty I was able to find, negotiate a deal, and close on two properties...in just 3 months! Both properties cash flow great and there has been no major issues. I highly recommend using Andrew & Scott for any of your future real estate ventures. Both are hardworking, communicative, and dedicated to the business. UPDATE FOR 2020: In fall of 2020 I made a last minute decision to sell one of my rental properties in South Minneapolis. I was hesitant to do so as I was not sure if I would get anything near what I wanted for the property (given everything going on in the world). After some consultation with Side By Side I made the decision to attempt selling the property. Within days of asking them to take the listing they had a showing set up and every potential buyer at that first showing made an offer at, or above, my asking price. The sale of this property closed just a few weeks later. Another very successful transaction with Side By Side Realty!

Luke Scott

Scott was an absolute rockstar! Drew was extremely helpful and knowledgeable as well! Alyssa was a joy to work with too! All around amazing experience. Would recommend everyone looking to buy or sell a home to truly talk to this team first. You will be more than pleased with their quality and selflessness to do whatever it takes to help.

Stephen Himmerich

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Drew and the rest of the team at Side by Side. This was my first home buying experience and they made it effortless. Drew has been an absolute pleasure to work with, learn from, and gain a new level of confidence regarding the potentials of real estate investing. He has made something that once felt daunting feel immensely more manageable. As I considered purchasing a house the thought of house hacking crossed my mind but I was always a bit unsure how to make it work. Drew eased my mind, directing me to the tools I needed, and has been an excellent resource as I continue to learn and grow. I’m excited by the potentials of this new endeavor and am grateful for the recommendation by Kim Burke at LeaderOne. I look forward to many more opportunities to work with Drew and the rest of the team at Side by Side moving forward. A big shout out to Argo as well! He is a fantastic sidekick in the house-hunting process and always brings his expertise to the table when it’s most needed.

Juliana Paola Martinez-Ibarra

We were lucky enough to work with Side by Side to sell our house and find our new dream home. Working with them was an incredible experience, they really treat you like family and you realized that the entire team (from finance, contractors and even the title company) are just the most amazing group of people that will make sure every single step of the process is complete, easy and detailed as needed. We highly recommend Side by Side for any real state transaction, they are not only the best at what they do...but you will get friends for life!!

Julie Williams

Drew, at Side by Side RE, went above and beyond for us as we bought our duplex. We felt really supported and listened to with our interests, concerns, and needs as we navigated this sometimes bumpy road of purchasing a home. Drew has a natural ability to get things done, educate you on what you need to know, and has such a personalized approach! We wouldn’t even consider looking at another real estate company to help us navigate the purchase of our next home. Thanks, Drew!!

JENNY SPONBERG

Once I decided to retire as a landlord, I wanted to sell my properties using a realtor with expertise in the duplex market. Side by Side's philosophy and promotion of duplex ownership mirrored the reasons I became a landlord decades ago, and when I met Drew and Scott I was encouraged by their positive energy and the apparent pleasure they brought to their work. That energy never flagged throughout the selling experience of two properties. Scott (who I worked with primarily) did the work necessary to keep the process moving smoothly, deftly flattening any perverbial "bumps in the road". He was respectful and considerate of the challenges selling my properties imposed on my tenants (WFH during a pandemic) and communicated clearly and honestly to all parties concerned. Importantly, he was a shrewd negotiator when called for so that we met my target sales price and then some. Lastly, Scott and Drew were a lot of fun to work with. I would highly recommend Side by Side realtors.

Lewis Benedict

If you're looking for a duplex or multi-family house and want to find people to work with who are as passionate as you are about real estate and wealth building strategies, then look no further than Drew and Scott and their team at Side by Side Realty. They really know this market inside and out as they are investors themselves and can help connect you with all the people you need to know. I've watched them generously give their time and expertise at real estate meetups and events to help other investors figure out how to get started - all without pressure to work with them. People continue to choose them when they want to best - I've bought my first 2 duplexes with them and they will be my first call when ready to shop for houses again!

Missy Haack

We have absolutely loved working with Drew and Scott! They have a great understanding of the market and are so generous in sharing their wealth of knowledge about living in and managing a duplex. They have been a great support throughout the whole process. We are so grateful they were recommended to us!

Margie Pierce

I’m a tough customer but Drew and Scott are my go to agents. Why? They really are fully integrated into all aspects of the real estate market in the twin cities. They draw from experience in property management, investing themselves, and mortgage brokering. This really sets them apart from the sea of “regular agents” that are just smiling faces trying to get paid. They have real power to help you across the board, and that can often make the difference when getting a deal done. You really are missing out on the best if you choose anyone else!

Sara Luedtke Kataras

Scott and Drew were awesome! From finding a property that meets my requirements, to guiding a newbie through buying a house for the first time, AND becoming a landlord for the first time. Their support has been amazing as I learn the ropes and feel that I am set up for success. They know what they are doing and have great expertise in multi-family and multi-unit property/ real estate.

Amanda Welter

I worked with this team to buy my first home and I couldn’t have asked for better partners. Drew and Scott are incredibly knowledgeable about investment properties. I had no experience with the home-buying process or the world of real estate investment when I began working with them. These guys were there for me every step of the way. They gave me tools to analyze every deal in order to make an informed decision, and were great resources when I needed an expert opinion. They were by my side for every single step, decision, and celebration. I would give them a million stars if it were an option! I am so appreciative of their partnership and I can’t wait to work with them on my next real estate adventure.

Sam Kessler

Just purchased my first home and duplex with Side by Side. Worked with Drew who was very helpful and enthusiastic through the whole process. They were more than helpful relaying their knowledge for someone who is a first time home buyer and investor. Honest, and easy to work with.

Macayla Fryc

My husband and I actively recommend Side by Side to our friends thinking about getting into multifamily investment properties. Not only is the team actually fun to work with, but they truly know what they're doing and "practicing what you preach" is paramount in what we look for in someone who is going to help us find a home. Prior to working with Side by Side, we had multiple agent experiences that soured us, but that turned around when we began working with Scott and Alyssa. The team views their clients as people they want to help reach financial freedom, and that shows. Now we've officially closed on our first property and can say Side By Side will be our go-to for future endeavors.

ryan lee

Working with Scott and Drew was great! I bought my first duplex and they know their stuff plus are so patient, friendly, easy going. They take a very hands-on approach and they actually care which is more than I can saw about any other realtors I’ve worked with. I will definitely use them again when I purchase my next home.

Matthew H

Drew and Scott are truly talented and dedicated to helping every client. I had an amazing experience working with them. They really care about everyone involved and are extremely professional in all real estate transactions. The really do practice what they preach and help others accomplish their goals!

Kristen Belleson

Side by Side Realty deserves every star in the galaxy! I have been working with Scott Hoefler, Drew Hoefler, Garrett Gordon for several years now and they are hands down the hardest working, kindhearted guys you will ever meet! They treat all their clients like family! There are not enough words in the dictionary to explain how amazing they truly are! I strongly recommend Side by Side Realty to everyone!!!

Brynn Wheatley

Scott + Drew are AMAZING at what they do. They eased us into the home buying process + helped us find our first duplex. Drew is so knowledgeable + shares it willingly. We so appreciated his expertise while walking through properties. We couldn't have done this process without them. Hands down, we recommend them to everyone we know!

Andrew Wilkinson

Drew and Scott are incredible. Over the last 9 months I have worked with them to learn about the strategy and value of buying a multi-unit house instead of a single family house. I didn't know anything at all about the process to buy a house and now I feel very confident. They have far exceeded my expectations in offering advice and ideas to help me. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

David Treichler

Drew was a great realtor to work with during the home buying process. He was excellent in his communication and I knew he was working hard to find us a great home. I would strongly recommend Side by Side Realty for anyone looking to buy a home!

Cass German

We have now worked with Side by Side Realty twice in our quest for properties. Drew Hoefler is a phenomenal agent and who has made us wish we hadn't found such great properties so quickly! He is positive, knowledgeable, and has a great team and network. We couldn't recommend him and the Side by Side team enough!

Vanessa

For Drew Hoefler, Real Estate is not just a career – It’s a calling. Drew is a passionate advocate of living without debt, building wealth, giving generously, and encouraging others to do the same. Drew is not only a well-respected industry leader and expert negotiator, he has the heart of a teacher and for the price of a craft beer he’ll spill the beans on everything he knows :) Drew lives his mission daily as he partners with his clients [soon to become friends] bringing them under his wing as they pursue financial freedom through real estate investing. I will never buy a duplex, house, or stick of gum without Drew. He is truly the best there is!

Vishal Reddy

I worked with Drew, Scott and Alyssa for selling couple of my properties. I am a seasoned real estate investor with experience in single family and multi family housing and have met several realtors/agencies over 15 years of my real estate investment career, as everything in life you will come across bad, good and best. Drew is a true gem of a person. He works so hard and goes above and beyond and even before you think of something he would have already placed the call and has an answer ready for you. To sum it up simple, strong and sweet about this gentleman if we, as in people around Drew don’t give oppurtunities to people like Drew there is not much meaning to the things that are good, great and genuine in this life. He is just truly a good guy personally and professionally.

Cody Fischer

I can't overstate how wonderful Drew is to work with. A few words that come to mind: integrity, dependable, solution-oriented, professional. Drew has been my agent on 3 different investment properties in the Twin Cities. In each, he was a critical and trusted source of information and advice on the market, property (pre-offer and during contingency), and the negotiation process. He was relentless in dealing with a difficult/unresponsive seller situation, and protecting my interests. Beyond that...as an investor who manages his own properties, Drew offered invaluable advice and contacts, and has acted as a coach on what rennovations to make, finding and placing good tenants, etc. He's really gone above and beyond for me. Two years after purchasing my properties he is still my go-to source for advice and always has a quick reply with his perspective on the inevitable issues that pop up for new landlords.

Julie Bushard

Working with Alyssa was great! As a first time home buyer, she was honest with every house we looked at, and I loved that! Even after buying, she is still there to help when I have the weirdest questions about being a home owner. Highly recommend finding your next (or first!) home with Side By Side Realty!

Jeffrey Friends

I have been work with Scott and Drew for over a year now. I enjoy their down to earth business style. They do far more than open doors (as I feel many realtors do). They provide realistic advise and make sure you are get the right deal that you will be happy with for years. Beyond that they look out for you. Scott has saved me from some real issues by doing the extra work to see the house is the right fit.

Robert Satrom

Drew and Scott Hoefler are amazing real estate agents that will not only provide amazing insight in buying a duplex or triplex and placing great tenants, but they care about you as people. not only that, but they have strong attention to detail, great communication skills, and a knack for understanding how your duplex should be priced and also are great at helping people find duplexes. These guys are spectacular people and professionals.

Bridget R

Drew helped my family through our first home purchase. We started off looking for a duplex but couldn’t find something that was right for us. Halfway through the process we decided to start looking for a single family home and he continued working hard to help us find the perfect home! He was great about being available for last minute showings and was quick to respond to questions or requests we had. I would definitely recommend side by side for anyone looking to buy a duplex or home!

Courtney Nuness

The Side by Side Realty Team is not only an incredible group of real estate professionals, but also, an even better group of humans. They are very knowledgeable, passionate, customer focused, trustworthy and ethical. As an industry professional I've had the opportunity to cross paths with many talented and top notch agents, and they are at the top of that list. They work hard for the people they serve, get the job done, and make a lot of people smile in the process. If given the opportunity to earn your business, rest assured, they will deliver and do so, very well.

Matt Hoefler

Drew, Scott, and the other team members that Side by Side have are all amazing! We have done several transactions both buying and selling with Side by Side and are continuously impressed by the results. In both selling cases we were able top get more than asking and great offers! I highly recommend them and always appreciate their hard work and great communication skills - Thanks again!

Caleb Buecksler

Drew is the best of the best. He knows his stuff. He’s well connected. He’s got his finger on the pulse of the local market. He gets the investor mindset because he owns and self-manages small multi-family properties. He’s genuine, caring, honest, and trustworthy. He and Side by Side will be getting repeat business from me.

Casie Lukes

Drew and Scott are an incredible team to work with. Their communication is professional, clear, and kind. They made purchasing our first home (with a 2 month old baby and 2 year old) easy and stress-free. They are amazing humans, and businessmen. I can not recommend them enough.

Meredith Doran

Drew and Scott are both amazing people who are very passionate and extremely knowledgeable about real estate. I’ve known them for over 10 years now and are two of the most down to earth and driven people I’ve met. It is quite obvious that they are doing what they are meant to be doing. Would highly recommend them if you are looking for a home.

Richard Douglass

I am so fortunate to have been able to work with Alyssa! I knew at our first meeting that I wanted Alyssa to help me with my purchase. As a first-time buyer it was essential for me to find someone who was knowledgeable and able to explain things in an easy to understand manner. I also wanted someone that understood what I was looking for from an investment perspective. Alyssa exceeded all of my expectations. I was especially impressed with how responsive she was throughout the entire process--Alyssa was able to quickly communicate, over any form of communication, about deals practically any time. I was worried about the property I wanted being extremely competitive (which it was), so Alyssa helped me craft our winning offer after 10pm while she was on vacation. This alone should demonstrate Alyssa's commitment to helping her clients. I am extremely thankful that I had Alyssa by my side. Alyssa was the main person who helped me during this process, but I also had help from everyone at Side by Side Realty. Scott, Drew, and Garrett took me through properties while Alyssa was away. I was often able to get into properties the same day that they sent them along. I never felt pressured to buy at any time during the process. In fact, the entire team would help me notice a potentially bad deal from an investment perspective. This was exactly the kind of support I needed. Overall, Alyssa and the entire Side by Side team have been amazing. They've made it clear that they're here to support me beyond just the purchase process. If you're looking to start investing in real estate--or continuing your current investing--I highly recommend you talk to Alyssa.

mark creed

I worked with Scott to find a realistic home for me and my 2 children. He was absolutely wonderful and helpful through this process. I would give Scott 6 stars if I could, and I recommend him to anyone looking for help in Minnesota!

Matthew Schober

We have purchased 2 properties with Drew. He has been excellent to work with - personable and always has your best interests in mine. If you are looking to live and rent or grow your investment portfolio, these two can help you get to financial freedom. They live it each day.

Zee McGee

I've personally purchased multiple properties with Side by Side. Scott, Drew, Garrett and Alyssa are some of the most down to earth and knowledgeable professionals you can come to know. If you are thinking of buying a duplex, triplex or fourplex to take control of financial future please consider working with Side by Side!

Eileen Dietrich

Worked with several realtors over the years. It’s been the most enjoyable working with Scott and Drew. They have taken the time to learn what our wants and needs are, providing any type of resource we need. I would highly recommend Drew and Scott to anyone looking for investment properties!

Eric Wedoe

Scott and Andrew are the best of the best realtors. They are experts when it comes to the local market and have a ton of great connections.

Side by Side helped me sell my mother's house. Besides being extremely professional, they were very knowledgeable of the market and knew exactly what needed to be done. They held my hand and showed extreme care and empathy through the whole process. I would not hesitate to use them again!

Scott and Drew are the real deal. We just closed on our first duplex and they were invaluable all along the way. They are passionate about real estate investing, and have the knowledge, resources, and network to help new and seasoned investors close deals. I highly recommend them and their team.

Honest, genuine, and hard working! Scott and Drew are twin brothers who treat you like you're part of the family. They have great insight into the ever-changing world of realty and coach you every step of the way. When making a life-changing investment, these are the guys to trust.

Selling/Buying a home is a lengthy process and requires a lot of time with a realtor to make it all happen. I suggest you choose someone that you want to spend time with AND that will get great results, like Scott and Drew. We were buying our dream home, and selling the home where we started our family. Scott and Drew provided their wisdom on the entire process and guided us along the way. They were an excellent voice of reason when emotions got high to keep the process flowing smoothly. My wife and I enjoyed all aspects of buying and selling a home through them so much we were actually bummed once it was all over as we had been speaking to them on a near daily basis. As far as results, we sold our home through them with one weekend of showings, for way above asking. Couldn’t ask for better experience!

Luke Hoffman

The entire Side By Side team was incredible to work with. We entered the buying process wanting to learn more about investing in multi-family housing while searching for our first home. The team walked with us through the entire process from start to finish and we truly couldn't have done it without them! They provided so much value to us as buyers and we are excited to keep working with Side By Side in the future!

Jeff Vondenkamp

Couldn't ask or trust for a better team. Was happy to work with the Hoefler crew when buying our duplex. We, as many do, had a few issues with the seller and house after the sale, whereas Side By Side was able to remedy the repairs and keep our first house buying experience extremely positive. Love these guys!

Drew Hoefler and Scott Hoefler have gone above and beyond what a typical realtors do. The heart behind the work is what made a difference for my husband and I. Since they are both skilled property owners, they had invaluable insight and advice throughout the process. After purchasing our first income property, they went the further step to make sure we felt prepped by sending us resources for landlords AFTER our closing. Their personalities make the whole process fun, real, and a true learning experience. We will definitely work with them again when the time comes to purchase our next property. Seriously, the reviews are telling the truth, outstanding work and effort from Side by Side.

Drew & Scott have been a great resource for many friends and family that are looking to find a perfect place to rent, buying their first home or just buying investment properties. In a short time they have managed to gain so much knowledge in the local real estate market and they really know what they are doing. I highly recommend them! They are outstanding people!!

I would recommend side-by-side realty to anyone looking for a team who truly cares and is invested in helping you achieve your dreams of purchasing property.

We had an outstanding experience with Alyssa and the team at Side-by-Side Realty. For us, it meant everything to make sure we could get our home and they helped with coordinating the closing with many factors at play during the pandemic. Highly recommended!

I have a few property managers in different cities and as property managers (and realtors) go, this group is a step above the rest. They don't just go through the motions - they are passionate and committed to finding the right fit for their clients. I leveraged their experience and contacts in the construction industry to make sure my properties are well kept and run smoothly. Working with them has given me confidence and peace of mind. They treat you like family from day 1. Thank you!

I just closed on my first duplex with the help of Scott, Drew, and Alyssa at Side by Side. The process couldn't have gone better! They did a great job of walking me through everything I needed to know about the properties we looked at. I wouldn't have found my current duplex without them. They've been a great resource for me and I look forward to working with them again when I'm ready for my next property.

These people are Great! First time and seasoned RE investors are able to create passive and active income streams with confidence, even in uncertain times. As a home inspector, I am proud to help these buyers achieve their goals.

I have provided services to Side by Side Realty and they are professional, prompt with payments, and based on the type of work requested from me are proactive in maintaining both properties they have for rent and properties they have listed for sale. Young, savvy, attention to detail and great service can be expected if you choose them for your realty or rental needs.

Side by Side Realty is the BEST! I worked with Scott and even Drew for a few showings while searching for my next Short Term Rental property. Scott is more than a realtor... he's a mentor, a leader, and a wealth of knowledge for anything regarding Real estate. Without a doubt, finding Scott was the BEST part of my REI journey so far. If you're thinking about working with Side by Side, DO IT!!!!!

Omar ElMenoufy

Drew Hoefler is the absolute best! He’s patient, kind, and VERY quick to respond to any of our messages or calls. He was also always super quick with setting up showings at homes we expressed interest in and was never shy of telling us what he thought of the home. I’m glad he was by us throught the whole process. I’d recommend him to everyone!
