Max Gygi | MN & WI Realtor
Hi, I'm Max!
I've been helping people buy and sell real estate for 25 years, and I can tell you one thing: no two transactions are ever the same.
That's part of what I love about this business.
I'm licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin, working primarily in residential real estate, but I've also helped clients buy and sell land, cabins, investment properties, and rentals. Over the years, I've seen just about every kind of market and worked through plenty of situations that don't come with an easy answer.
I've gained a lot of experience in is helping homeowners navigate difficult financial situations. Since 2008, I've successfully closed more than 250 short sales and helped hundreds of homeowners explore their options when selling wasn't so straightforward. I know these situations can be stressful, and I believe everyone deserves honest advice and someone willing to put in the work to find a solution.
If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm pretty laid-back, and I'm also going to tell you exactly what I think. I don't believe in sugarcoating things or telling people what they want to hear just to make a sale. Whether we're talking about pricing your home, negotiating an offer, or deciding if a property is worth pursuing, you'll always get a straight answer from me. I find most people appreciate knowing exactly where I stand.
I've also made continuing education a priority throughout my career. I hold several professional designations, including Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), and Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI). Real estate is constantly changing, and I believe staying informed is part of doing right by my clients.
I'm fortunate to work alongside my wife, Kolleen, who brings more than 12 years of real estate experience to our team. While I focus on pricing, marketing, and negotiating, Kolleen works closely with buyers and keeps the day-to-day details moving. We have different strengths, and together we make sure our clients have the attention and support they deserve.
Outside of real estate, I'm happiest spending time outdoors hunting or fishing, traveling somewhere new, or firing up the grill for a backyard BBQ with family and friends. I like good food, good company, and keeping things pretty simple.
At the end of the day, I love helping people buy and sell homes. Whether you're buying your first place, selling a home you've lived in for decades, or dealing with a situation that's a little more complicated, I'll bring the same honesty, experience, and determination to the table.
My goal is simple: to help you make a smart decision, negotiate the best possible outcome, and feel good about who you trusted to get you there.
