Meet Jonna Kosalko, a dedicated and accomplished real estate professional. Jonna is an enthusiastic fan of the arts and Minneapolis, her adopted home. She partners with Barb Davis, focusing on marketing and promotion, listings and buyers, and events. As part of their business, they use the arts community to connect people and promote the Twin Cities as a great place to live. Jonna has lived in St. Louis Park, St. Paul, and the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis. She is the proud recipient of a fourth-place ribbon in Crop Art at the Minnesota State Fair.
Prior to her real estate work at Coldwell Banker Realty, she worked on the capital and annual fundraising campaigns at the Guthrie Theater from 1998-2005, organizing events and coordinating the community campaign that raised $2M. Her education includes degrees in marketing and interior design.
From guiding buyers in designing their ideal homes to helping clients enhance property value through remodeling and interior design, Jonna brings expertise, creativity, and commitment to every aspect of the real estate journey.
After spending 30 years in department store retailing, focusing on home-related products, Barb Davis moved to Minneapolis to join her sister in selling residential real estate. Barb's retail career with Macy's/May Company included positions in Buying, Management, and Product Development, with a focus on advertising and marketing, merchandise buying, and management.
Her strong interest in local communities and the arts has brought Barb a number of volunteer experiences on the boards of the Playwrights' Center, St. Paul's Park Square Theater, The Arc Minnesota, and the Minneapolis Area REALTORS Foundation and Government Affairs Committees, as well as active involvement in Juxtaposition Arts and many other arts and civic organizations.
Barb works with her associate Jonna Kosalko as a team to address all your Real Estate needs around the Twin Cities. She resides in Minneapolis, near Lake of the Isles, and is committed to helping you buy, sell, or invest in homes wherever you aspire to live or invest.
First, let me just say that Jonna is a rockstar! She really goes the extra mile to help you find the home you need and want. We had a challenging situation with our home purchase, our needs were unconventional, and our budget was tight. Jonna worked for months to help us find the right place, and when we decided on a property 90 minutes outside the Twin Cities, she didn't hesitate to make every trip to the property to meet our needs. ~ littlebigdirector Google Review
A year after Barb helped us to sell our old home and buy our beautiful new home, I am still regularly telling people about the great experience we had working with her. Barb took charge of updates on our old home and got it ready for sale while we enjoyed dreaming about and planning for the new one. She earned a price that was significantly higher than what we would have listed it for, and over asking. The market was good, yes, but Barb's expertise got us even more. Great communicator. Doesn't sweat the small stuff, a quality I didn't know I needed, but she really helped keep me from getting bogged down with petty details. Choose this team, you will not regret it! ~user8432316 Zillow Review
How was Jonna the best realtor we have ever used in selling four houses in our lifetime? Let me count the ways. Her assessment of our house’s likely strongest selling points against comparable properties was spot on. She suggested the right asking price, which we now appreciate more as another house for sale in the neighborhood has had to readjust its price downward several times during this peak sales season. She staged our house with a designer’s eye. When we did close we felt she had more than earned her commission. ~Melinda M. Google Review
