The Team

Built on the belief that every transaction deserves a real person behind it.

North Star Realty Group started in 2018 with a simple premise: that boutique service and serious market expertise don't have to be mutually exclusive. We're small enough to stay personal and experienced enough to get results.

Sarah Jensen

Founder, Principal Agent

Sarah has been working in Minneapolis residential real estate since 2012, and founded North Star Realty Group in 2018 to build a practice grounded in honest advice and genuine service. She specializes in first-time buyers, family homes, and the specific rhythms of the Minneapolis market.

She grew up in the Twin Cities, lives in South Minneapolis, and has closed transactions in nearly every neighborhood from Northeast to Edina. She knows when a neighborhood is turning and when a listing price is unrealistic, and she'll tell you plainly either way.

Outside of work: two kids, a dog named Chester, and a strong opinion about the best coffee shop in Longfellow.

How We Work

Our approach to every transaction.

We combine neighborhood-level knowledge with MLS data and market timing to give you the clearest possible picture before you make a decision. We don't sugar-coat pricing analysis or hide problems in inspection reports.

Every client has a single point of contact. You'll always know where things stand. We return calls the same day.

Why North Star

Five reasons our clients come back.

  • 150+ homes sold

    A track record across Minneapolis neighborhoods, price points, and market conditions. We've seen the cycles.

  • 3% above market average

    Our sellers consistently close above comparable market benchmarks. That's pricing, marketing, and timing working together.

  • Deep neighborhood knowledge

    We live and work in Minneapolis. We know what Whittier feels like on a Tuesday evening and which Bloomington blocks are turning.

  • Direct, personal communication

    You work with Sarah or a named team member, not an assistant. Same-day response, every time.

  • A trusted professional network

    Vetted lenders, inspectors, and contractors we've worked with repeatedly. Good referrals at every stage.
