About Melissa + Blake Suddath
A little about us.
We're Melissa + Blake Suddath, REALTORS® with eXp Realty. We've been in real estate since 2018, helping buyers and sellers all over the Twin Cities, and we love what we do. Many of our clients have worked with us more than once, through different seasons of their lives, and we're honored to have helped so many people.
Our specialty is new construction, and our home base is the southwest metro. We live in Shakopee, so we know the area well, and we've personally lived in three different new construction homes, so we understand the process from the buyer's side of the table.
When you walk into a new construction sales office on your own, the agent behind the desk works for the builder. We represent you. We give you honest guidance on the builders, the communities and the contract, and we help you make the choices that turn a build into a home you love.
Outside of work, we enjoy exploring new restaurants and traveling.
Why buyers choose us
Why work with us?
New construction is a different kind of purchase than buying a resale home. The contract, the builder, the timeline and the design choices all work differently, so it helps to have someone on your side who knows how it works.
Builder and community knowledge
We know the different builders and communities across the southwest metro, and the incentives available, so you can compare your options with confidence.
Negotiation
We know what to ask for to get you the best terms, and we negotiate on your behalf.
We've lived it
We've personally lived in three different new construction homes, so we understand the process from your side. We also know the contracts and timelines, and we plan around them.
Design selections
We love design, and we help you make your selections so the finished home looks and feels like you.
Selling first
Selling a home to build a new one? Our New Build Transition Plan runs your sale and your build on one timeline that fits your goals.
