What We Do

Innovation at the forefront of real estate. Real estate satisfies both basic needs and aspirational desires. In today's online-first real estate environment, how and when those needs and desires are met can make or break a very important life moment. As the real estate selling and buying ecosystem continues to diversify, the Minnesota Team remains relentless in seeking a better way. Each day, they reimagine and refine strategies and technology in pursuit of superior results, providing clients with exceptional real estate experiences.

Mike Wilen

Mike Wilen is a leader and innovator in today's competitive real estate market. As founder of MinnesotaTeam.com at Coldwell Banker, Wilen has personally sold over 800 properties as listing agent. He has advised more than 50 of the largest and most sophisticated lenders on the sale and valuation of real estate, developed and sold property valuation methods including a portfolio loss severity analysis solution, built property syndication systems with custom API architecture, and created consumer acquisition strategies. He successfully exited a real estate tech startup and became one of Minnesota's top individual listing agents. Had Wilen chosen a profession outside real estate, it surely would have been in tech. A Minneapolis native raised on bluegrass and schooled in hard knocks, he began his real estate career as a receptionist before a mentor recruited him as a sales agent, a relationship that grew into a friendship, and a business, neither could have imagined. Mike is a licensed real estate broker and Realtor in Minnesota and Illinois.

Pricing

There is no mystery as to what people want. The opportunity is to serve it, present it, and deliver it in a way that is unique, different, and better than before — creating meaningful value through thoughtful presentation.

Automated valuations that rely on square footage, room count, or a handful of property attributes to determine value are akin to using the Dow Jones Industrial Average to price an individual stock in a portfolio. A more thoughtful approach considers the unique opportunity of each property, combining market intelligence, valuation expertise, and real-world experience to create a strategy designed around maximizing potential.

Land

The Minnesota Team evaluates land assets with the same rigor applied to any high-stakes real estate transaction. From undeveloped acreage and farmland to development sites, ranch properties, and environmentally sensitive tracts, each parcel undergoes comprehensive analysis of zoning, density, utilities, access, and entitlement considerations. Market demand is measured against a clear valuation framework, translating raw land potential into a strategy built to unlock maximum value.

Builders & Developers

Minnesota Team brings custom home communities, multifamily developments, condominium projects, and mixed-use properties to market with precision and confidence. Market intelligence, strategic positioning, creative content, and sales infrastructure combine to maximize exposure and accelerate absorption, supported by geo-targeted pay-per-click advertising, search engine optimization, custom website design, and on-site collateral. Campaigns typically launch three to six months ahead of a community's grand opening, capturing early interest and accelerating pre-sales from day one.

REO

Minnesota Team has assisted more than 50 local, national, and global lenders in the valuation, management, and disposition of REO assets throughout Minnesota. Relationships span banks, credit unions, mortgage servicers, government-sponsored enterprises, hedge funds, and institutional asset managers, backed by portfolio loss severity analysis, eviction management, and broker price opinion expertise. Mike Wilen's background, shaped in part by his father's tenure with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Civil Division, informs an approach built for efficient, accountable asset recovery.
