Your Edina REALTOR®
I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty, and our office is just south of Edina at 1101 E 78th St in Bloomington. We help people buy and sell homes in Edina, from the Country Club District to the condos near Centennial Lakes.
I lead a small team with transaction coordinators, so every deadline and document has someone watching it. I rank in the top 8 of nearly 1,000 Bridge Realty agents almost every month.
Who we help in Edina
- First-time buyers: we walk you through a first purchase, often a condo or townhome near Southdale or Centennial Lakes.
- Move-up buyers: we line up the sale of your current home and the purchase of a larger one in Edina.
- Relocation buyers: we help you learn Edina's named neighborhoods from a distance before you visit.
- VA buyers: we explain how a VA loan fits an Edina purchase, from appraisal to closing.
- Sellers: we price your Edina home against sales in its own neighborhood, not a citywide average.
- Downsizers: we help you move from a larger Edina house into something easier to keep up.
How we work
We teach first. Before you sign anything, we explain how financing works, what an inspection covers, how offers are written, and what closing costs look like. You should never have to ask what a step means.
Edina housing varies street by street, so we price from recent sales of similar homes nearby, and we keep an eye on what has been torn down and rebuilt next door. After closing, we stay in touch for questions. See how buying works and our full process.
What to know about buying or selling in Edina
- Older homes and rebuilds sit side by side. In many older Edina neighborhoods, small original homes have been replaced by new ones. A buyer should look at the lots around a home, and a seller should know which sales are true comparisons.
- Taxes come from Hennepin County. Look up any Edina address on the county's property information search to see current and prior-year taxes and the assessed value.
- Two school districts. Edina Public Schools serves most of the city, and Hopkins Public Schools serves portions of it. Confirm the district for the exact address.
- Highways shape the drive. Highway 62 crosses the middle of the city, Highway 100 runs north and south, and Highway 169 and I-494 border the west and south sides.
