I grew up in northern Minnesota and moved down to Minneapolis in 1999. After earning an entrepreneurship degree at the University of St. Thomas I started my real estate career. I spent 2003 - 2006 working for a real estate investment company. In 2006, I received my real estate license and held my license with REMAX. In 2009, my wife and I purchased a home in Woodbury, MN where we are currently raising our two kids and Jack Russell dog named Banjo. In 2011, I started my own real estate brokerage, Commonwealth Realty, LLC. I owned and operated Commonwealth Realty as the Broker until 2017 when I joined forces with Coldwell Banker Burnet - Woodbury.

Darin Bjerknes

    • We enjoyed working with Darin in buying our first home. He was very flexible in meeting us at times that worked for us and on short notice. He was great at pointing out potential issues on walkthroughs. He was quick at putting together helpful information for offers. And he was always informative when we asked questions about what to expect in the coming parts of the process.

      - Neil M. (Minneapolis, MN)
    • Darin was great to work with both for selling our current home as well as with finding our new home to purchase. He is very knowledgeable with the specifics of the entire process and we felt confident in knowing that he was taking care of everything that had to be. We did not feel pressured or rushed with the process of buying and he truly had our best interests in mind. He took the time to get to know what was important to us and what we were specifically looking for in a home. He was also very responsive and flexible which is very important in today's competitive market. We would highly recommend Darin for all of your real estate needs!

      - Stacy E. (Cottage Grove, MN)
    • Darin was extremely helpful throughout our real estate search. During walkthroughs, he was knowledgeable about potential issues/costs you might incur and would keep track of things that could be used for negotiating and anything of note you found important. Also, he is very friendly and professional. No matter the hour of the day, he would respond almost immediately. He keeps you informed throughout the closing process and pays close attention to all details to help his clients reach their goals for purchasing. I would recommend Darin to anyone looking to buy or sell.

      - Jared D. (Woodbury, MN)
    • As a first time home buyer, Darin proved himself as a very knowledgeable realtor. I had a ton of questions. Darin answered all of them. I said I truly didn't know what to look for in a house for faults or things consider. Darin walked me through several lengthy showings pointing out areas of the home which would come up on an inspection, things which would need repair, and going into detail on different features. What really stood out is Darin was not afraid to call one house a solid house and another as needing work. This honesty was very useful for me when comparing homes and also helped me quickly get up to speed on the process. The process of making an offer and going through the purchase was also as smooth as the showing experience. Again, any questions were answered promptly and Darin proved to be a knowledgeable guide. No issues at all.As a first time home buyer with trepidation about what it would entail I could not have asked for a smoother experience.

      - Jared L. (Columbia Heights, MN)
    • Darin came highly recommended to us when we first looked to by a home. After meeting with him we were eager to work with him! After working with him to buy a home, we had to move out of state and rented the home out. When we decided to sell 2 1/2 years later, he was our first call. Not only did he get us over our asking price, but he was also an absolute Rockstar!! Living halfway across the country I had complete faith and trust in his work. He coordinated with our management company, electrician, landscaper, and maintenance guy to get the home sell ready. He did an amazing job and we cannot say anything but great things about Darin. He truly cares for his clients and will go to bat for you because he wants the best for you!When we move back to the area he will again be our first call!!

      - Elvina R. (South St. Paul, MN)
    • Darin was amazing to work with. He helped us buy our home on a very tight timeline. He went the extra mile and really helped make the process less stressful. We were over 1,500 miles away and he did a lot of running for us. To sum it up, Darin is very professional and personal. When we sell our new home, he will definitely be our first choice to list our home.

      - Mark M (Cottage Grove, MN)
    • Darin and his team were a dream. We were cared for like family from the very beginning. They listened to our concerns and made sure to truly understand what the most important parts for us were during both the selling and buying process. We had what some would call, not an ideal selling scenario, but Darin did everything he could to ensure ours and the buyer's happiness with the home. He was available when we needed him and was super knowledgeable when searching for a home. We are confident that without his assistance, we would not have found our dream home or would have ended up settling.

      - Jessica (Woodbury)
    • If you want one hardworking, positive, motivated agent then Darin is your guy! We saw 30+ houses and Darin had a smile on his face for every one! Not only is he great, but his team is as well. From Louie to Lyndsay, everyone was professional and helpful! Darin is YOUR agent!! We highly recommend him!

      - Meghan (Cottage Grove, MN)
    • Darin was thorough, honest and knowledgeable. He understood the market and our neighborhood. We were being relocated and I feel he worked with us on determining the best time to list, that it might mean that the house would be empty when the listing went live, etc. Darin and his team were always responsive and answered any questions we had. I would recommend him to anyone looking to list a home in the Twin Cities!

      - Annie & Justin R. (Woodbury, MN)
    • Darin was an excellent agent. He handled a unique situation with class and professionalism for my family. When we started the process he was responsive and patient with us as we navigated all of our decision criteria. He is sincere, honest, and sharp. He found paths of least resistance to get the job done. I highly recommend Darin.

      - Bruce (Woodbury, MN)
    • Darin is an exceptional real estate agent as evidenced by his ability to build positive relationships with his clients, take into account their unique needs and do business with the highest level of integrity. Darin demonstrates patience and responsiveness during all phases of the home purchase process. He was persistent in meeting the specific needs of our family while demonstrating flexibility. I would highly recommend Darin without reservation as a realtor. He is an outstanding person.

      - Elaine M. (Woodbury, MN)
    • As a first time home buyer, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Darin was able to explain the process to me step by step so I knew what was going on and what was going to happen next. There were no surprises to trip up the process even once. If I ever had a question or comment Darin was able to respond right away which really helped move everything smoothly and quickly. I had a pretty tight window that I wanted to find a home and Darin was more than up to that challenge. Whether it was setting up a home search email alert, or guiding me through the offer process, this was a great experience from top to bottom. Darin is very social and easy to talk to, and he really knows his stuff, so I would recommend him to anyone!

      - Brian K. (Woodbury, MN)
    • Darin is an excellent real estate agent. He knows the market extremely well, correctly gauging a reasonable selling price. He offered very helpful advice regarding what expenditures are best for selling a house. He frequently visited the house, after it was vacated, to make sure that contractors had performed their work well, and he even cleaned slight messes made by them. He answered questions promptly and accurately. His video production was superb. Also, he is friendly, articulate, and enthusiastic. On a scale from 1 to 5 hes definitely a 5.
