Jonna and Barb represent a rare breed of professionals who don't just work in the Twin Cities—they help build the community's very fabric. What sets this duo apart isn't just their combined decades of market expertise; it’s their fundamental belief that a thriving community is fueled by the arts and a commitment to service.

While others might see a neighborhood as a collection of zip codes, Jonna and Barb see it as a canvas of local theaters, non-profits, and civic engagement. They don't just sell property; they invest their own time and energy into the heartbeat of home, ensuring that the places where their clients live remain vibrant, inclusive, and culturally rich.

The Heart of the Arts: Jonna’s Vision

Jonna brings an infectious enthusiasm to everything she touches, especially her adopted home of Minneapolis. Her background is rooted in the legendary Minnesota arts scene; from 1998 to 2005, she was a driving force at the Guthrie Theater, where she helped raise $2 million through community campaigns and events.

Her deep connection to the local creative economy is even reflected in her personal hobbies—she is the proud (and rightfully boastful!) winner of a fourth-place ribbon in Crop Art at the Minnesota State Fair. This blend of professional grit and quirky, local passion makes her a true advocate for the Twin Cities lifestyle.

Civic Leadership: Barb’s Commitment

Barb’s approach to real estate is grounded in a deep sense of stewardship. Her resume reads like a "who’s who" of Twin Cities service, reflecting a woman who cares deeply about the long-term health of our neighborhoods. Barb has dedicated her time to several influential boards, including:

• The Arts: The Playwrights' Center and St. Paul’s Park Square Theater.

• Advocacy: The Arc Minnesota and Juxtaposition Arts.

• Industry Leadership: The Minneapolis Area REALTORS Foundation and Government Affairs Committees.

Through these roles, Barb ensures that the real estate industry remains a force for good, advocating for housing rights and supporting the creative youth who will be tomorrow's leaders.

A Premier Partnership

When you work with Jonna and Barb, you aren't just getting a real estate team; you’re gaining two partners who are woven into the community's DNA. They use their vast network in the arts and civic sectors to connect people, foster relationships, and promote the Twin Cities as the premier place to call home.

Whether they are advocating for local legislation or cheering on a new exhibit at Juxtaposition Arts, Jonna and Barb are consistently proving that the best way to sell a community is to be an active part of its soul.
