Stana Gerlach - Realtor®

About Stana

Having spent twenty years in residential property management here in the Twin Cities, I decided to take my knowledge of real estate and tailor it to the personal needs of individual homeowners.

I was born and raised in the Czech Republic.  I met my husband John, who is from Iowa, on a college campus in Prague while he was there on a student exchange program run by the U of M.  After four years of a long-distance relationship, we got married and moved to Michigan and then to Minnesota.  We have called the Twin Cities our home ever since.  I can say that I understand what it means to up root and move to a new location, in my case to a new continent.  Relocation can be difficult and stressful but a partnership with a realtor who cares and goes above and beyond can make for a smoother transition.  I lived it, I care and I will do my absolute best for you. 

Our family of three - myself, husband and son Philip - love to travel.  Our ultimate goal is to visit all seven continents - so far four continents down and three more to go (Africa, South America & Antarctica).  In our mid-thirties we set out on a trip around the world, kept going west chasing summer weather, backpacking for eleven months on a shoestring budget.  We quit our jobs, rented our house and left.  Needless to say, our parents did not understand our decision.  Here at home, I also like to stay connected to my Czech heritage & volunteer with the local Czech & Slovak Center (Sokol MN).  I also enjoy volunteering at my son's school.  We like our Minnesota community. 

I am dependable, practical and realistic.  I am responsible and loyal to my family, friends and clients.  Open communication is a foundation to any relationship.  I am here to ensure that your process of a buying your dream home or selling your current house is a pleasant experience for you.  I will be by your side from start to finish.  Give me a call whether you are buying, selling or just investigating.
