Teresa Boardman

I am a Realtor, and licensed Minnesota real estate broker with Saint Paul Home Realty. Also a blogger, writer, photographer and speaker. I am sure I am more than that but those things seem to be the most important to the people who visit this page.

I live in St. Paul Minnesota and am active in my community. I do some volunteer work including Meals on wheels and I am on the board of directors for the West 7th Community Center.

Two Children, one husband, a dog and a cat. We live in a 150 year old home near the Mississippi River close to downtown.  I love historic homes and over the years I have learned a lot about architecture and history and I understand the mechanical s in an older home. My camera just focuses on the beauty that I see in them.

I love St. Paul and have lived in the city my entire life and know it very well. I write every day on StPaulRealEstateBlog.com. I am always up to date on what is going on in the city, especially with the housing market. I publish numbers and information that I hope will help people who want to buy or sell a home in the city.

If you use Google and search for “St. Paul Real Estate” I come up first.  If you search on Teresa Boardman you will find thousands of pages of information as I am often quoted by the local media and others. I believe that if Google can not find us we don’t exist and our listings probably don’t either. It is hard to sell a home without first giving it an internet presence.

There are plenty of Realtors in the Twin Cities but 20% of us sell 80% of the real estate.  I am a full time agent and have been in the business since 2001.  My background before real estate is in technology.  Over the years this business has become abut technology as home buyers use the internet to find that perfect home. I am always experimenting and testing.  I like data and I am not one to market a home a certain way because “they” say it works.  Chances are “they” have something to sell and it probably doesn’t work.

The real estate industry and our local market have undergone a lot of change in the last few years.  Adapting to it is one of our biggest challenges.  What worked last year might not work this year.
