Brandy Skonseng

Don’t ever tell Brandy Skonseng that something isn’t possible. One of her pet peeves in life, she’ll have fun proving you wrong.

Minnesota born and bred, Brandy Skonseng comes to Kris Lindahl Real Estate from United Electric, where she was a project manager. Growing up in Isanti, though, is where her story starts.

Her upbringing contains all the magical moments that only life in the country can give a kid – riding three-wheelers and bikes and playing in the dirt with Matchbox cars. You’ll notice that Barbie dolls aren’t on the list. Brandy says she was the only girl within two miles of her home so she was also trying to prove that she could keep up with the boys.

Determined all the way through high school, Brandy graduated six months early, and at the age of 17, enrolled in classes at Anoka Ramsey Community College where she obtained her Associate’s degree in business management in less than two years.

By 2003, Brandy was a Mom to a 2-year old son and with that came the natural desire to help people. The real estate industry offered the perfect opportunity for her to do so and it came with a bonus: she fell in love with helping clients buy and sell homes. Now, here she is, 15 years later, a member of the Kris Lindahl Team with Kris Lindahl Real Estate.

“Being a realtor has allowed me to help clients with what could be one of the biggest purchase of their lives,” she explains. “I love nothing more than to see the smiles on my clients face when they get the keys to their new home and realize they didn't just change their address they changed their life"

When she’s not working, Brandy enjoys giving back to the community and her involvement with the Children’s Miracle Network is one of the most fulfilling parts of her life. She’s also an avid down-hill skier and loves to get out on the ATV in the summer with her family. You may also find her taking her paddle board out on one of Minnesota's lakes or simply soaking up the sun relaxing on a patio somewhere. Staying humble is what it's all about for Brandy.

One of the first things you’ll notice when you work with Brandy is that she doesn’t pull any punches. “I am up-front and honest every part of the way, putting all the cards on the table so together we can make an informed sound decision that leaves you feeling comfortable and excited.” She’s also a tenacious negotiator who is known to fearlessly go to bat for her clients when it comes to contract terms and price. Hey, she proved a long time ago she could wrangle with the boys – she’s not about to let a negotiation get her flustered!
