Mark Singer
Buyer Specialist
Mark has been involved with homes for over 25 years. He started with Andersen Windows moving around the country for 13 years before coming back to Stillwater in 2000.

He worked with many builders, investors, and homeowners to help them connect the right homes and materials. Mark believes windows are one of the most important features of a home because they affect the exterior view, interior view, let natural light in and you have a window in almost every room of your home. To keep his window knowledge up to date he continues his connection with Kolbe Windows and Doors out of Edina. You may also see him on a hockey rink or baseball field in Woodbury coaching one of his three children. Mark works with all types of buyers who want help through the Real Estate process.

Jared Gruett
Jared grew up in Minneapolis and has lived in Woodbury with his wife Sara and their 4 children since 2006. He has been involved in building, buying, managing and selling commercial and residential real estate for over 15 years. He recently negotiated the successful sale of his primary business interest to a nationwide consolidator and turned his full time efforts towards working with real estate buyers at The Jason Gorman Real Estate Team. He does not consider himself to be a salesman. Rather, he considers himself to be a consultant. Says Jared " I am not emotionally attached to the deal or any particular property. My one and only concern is that the buyer has exceptional representation and is steered away from the many pitfalls that can arise during any real estate transaction. Whether my clients buy this week or 2 years from now, I really don't care. My only concern is that the experience and service I provide convinces them to feel comfortable using my services every time they buy or sell real estate for the rest of their lives."
