"We worked with Frank and his team for selling our home.

Frank’s vision and experience in Duluth/Superior area real estate is unparalleled. He provided a clear picture of the sale strategy that he would implement and his proposal was on the money. Frank’s team is outstanding. Staging, photos, 3-D walk-thru, marketing - they did it all. They were fully engaged and involved from start to finish. We loved the experience of working with Frank and would work with his team again if there is an opportunity in the future."

"Frank Messina was very professional and knows the Duluth market.

His advice on pricing , bids and closing was "right on ". He was totally responsive and always available by phone. Shelby was a huge part of the team. I loved the photographer and videographer they used. The 360 virtual tour was key in selling our house. I have used Messina Realty twice and would use them again!"

Cathy B

"My wife and I have led very busy lifestyles with our different business ventures.

That has caused us to move more than most Americans probably do. It has brought us in contact with many real estate firms. Some years ago, we were recommended to the Messina company. From the very first time we made use of their services. We were pleasantly surprised at the level of expertise, professionalism and unique way of putting documentation together. From that time, we knew should we ever need these types of services again exactly where we were going to go. Well, that moment came up for another move and we were happy that the Messina company was able to help us again. As the years have gone by, we found that we were using the Messina company on many occasions and so happy that we did. Thank!"

William H

"Frank was a gem!

After he toured my house, he had the knowledge and experience to know that this was an above average rental property. He recommended we listed it higher than what my expectations were, and on the day it was to be listed, he located a buyer at full price! There's a reason why Frank rates at the top when searching for realtors online. He is very friendly and is an excellent problem solver. There's NO DOUBT about who I'd choose to be my realtor in the Duluth area. Frank Messina is my guy!"

Brad H

"Frank Messina and his real estate company went out of their way to counsel us and get our property sold.

Their positive attitude and attention to detail told us we made the right decision in selecting them. We liked their yard signs, 3-ring binder for customer viewing, and willingness to answer all of our many questions. When Frank had many of his associates view our house to familiarize them with our area, we really appreciated that. We lived in a unique neighborhood, and Frank and his associates took the time to learn about the area and the history. We had complete confidence in their handling of the sale of our house."

B.M.

"Frank Messina provided outstanding service to me (US Bank) and to our client.

We appreciated the advice, regular updates and full service attention. Thank you Frank"

US K

"We used Messina Real Living eight years ago when we purchased and recently when we sold.

Both times it was an incredible experience. When we purchased we got around $4,000 below the asking price. When we sold, we got over $5,000 above asking price. In both cases the team was very professional, friendly, and effective. We can not say enough about Messina Real Living. We have done several real estate transactions in our lives. Nobody we've worked with previously come close to comparing to Messina. Don't hesitate to use Frank Messina or any of his wonderful associates for buying or selling your home."

Matthew D

Jeffrey B

"Frank helped us find the home we were in 12 years ago, so we knew we wanted him to help us sell our current home.

He came to our home and coordinated the services we would need to make our home vital and marketable. Our home/setting was not the 'in demand' home at this time. His associates for marketing, staging, painting, and certifications were responsive and affordable! We were successful in selling our house within three weeks of putting it on the market. We believe that Frank's experience, knowledge, and salesmanship were key to selling our home!!"

Frank Messina and his team, Michael and Shelby, are second to none. Frank helped us navigate a delicate situation during the sale of our home with the utmost professionalism and his experience was evident throughout the transaction. He and his team were timely, available and responsive and made the whole experience as easy as possible for my family and me.

"Frank and the Messina Group represented us twice on two residential homes we had in the Duluth area. We are located in Florida and both houses had extenuating issues that were beyond our abilities, as remote owners to rectify. Frank and his team got the necessary professionals involved, Plumber and Electrician, and even fronted the money so the required repairs were done by closing.They followed up continuously and kept us in the loop from listing to closing. We definitely appreciated how they operated.Paul M. Trustee"

"Mr Messina was a pleasure to deal with, he took the stress out of selling a home. His longtime experience goes without an equal. Everything was explained to us without exception, thus we had no questions. His up to date communication, ie., getting notifications when the home is being shown or appointments was invaluable to my wife and I. His whole team was curious and professional, everything was explained to us up front, so we had very few questions. We were extremely satisfied with Mr Messina, will be working with him and his company when the need arises!"
