The MSP Difference

A Realtor Who Thinks Like a Contractor

Most realtors see a house. Maria sees what it could become — and Scott can price the transformation on the spot. This means you never overpay for a renovation project, and you never undersell a home that just needs the right updates.

Renovation-Potential Identification
Maria spots undervalued homes that other buyers overlook. Scott estimates renovation costs in real time during showings.
Pre-Sale ROI Maximization
Before listing, Scott's team handles targeted upgrades that return $2–$4 for every $1 spent. Maria knows exactly what buyers in your price range expect.
Seamless Buy-Sell Coordination
Selling and buying simultaneously? Maria times both closings to eliminate the gap — no bridge loans, no temporary housing.
Design Eye on Every Transaction
Maria's interior design background means she can visualize the finished product — and help you see past dated finishes to the home underneath.

The Process

How It Works

Whether you're buying your dream home or selling your current one, here's exactly what to expect when you work with Maria.

01

Discovery Call

We learn your must-haves, nice-to-haves, budget, and timeline. Maria asks the questions other agents skip — like renovation potential and resale trajectory.

02

Pre-Approval & Strategy

We connect you with trusted lenders and build a buying strategy based on current market conditions in your target neighborhoods.

03

Curated Home Tours

Maria hand-selects properties that match your criteria — including off-market opportunities through her Edina Realty network.

04

Offer & Negotiation

Maria's construction background means she spots issues other agents miss. She negotiates hard on price, repairs, and terms.

05

Inspection & Due Diligence

Scott reviews the inspection report with you — free of charge — to identify true deal-breakers vs. cosmetic issues and estimate real repair costs.

06

Close & Move In

We coordinate closing, walk you through every document, and hand you the keys. If renovations are next, Scott's team is ready to start.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say

"Maria fought for our new home as if it was her own. She went above and beyond for our needs/wants and was so professional throughout the entire process. She was so helpful on educating us on what was happening every step of the way and always there when we had questions. On top of her realty skills, she has a strong background in home design and renovation which makes her have three areas of expertise while showing/selling houses. My husband and I highly recommend Maria as a realtor to make the process fun, educational and rewarding."

Katie Derheim
Edina, MN

"What a truly remarkable agent Maria Palmer is. I cannot ever hope to list all of the incredible ways that Maria went above and beyond for us, both in the selling of our old home and in finding and negotiating our new one. When it came to finding our new home, Maria was patient, engaged, responsive, and most of all, relentless in pursuit of the best deal on the best home for me and my family. Literally nothing will stop Maria Palmer from working for you. She's amazing."

Geoffrey Gunkler

Having her in our corner advocating for us made the whole process seem easy. We feel lucky to have worked with Maria to find our unicorn, and we recommend her for any families looking to dive into house hunting."

Kyle Welch

"Maria was incredible to work with while both selling and buying a home. She spent time getting to know us and our needs, offered excellent advice, and really fought hard for us to get us the buy and sell that we wanted. Maria is remarkably detail oriented, professional, and accessible. She clearly explained the process every step of the way, and answered all of our questions. Maria was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend her more!"

Shae Fagre

"Maria is extremely knowledgeable, hardworking, and honest. She went above and beyond to be available to support our home search and find us our 'unicorn'.
