“Keeping it local. Keeping it real. That’s not just a slogan here — it’s how we do business.”

Excelsior Realty is owned and operated by Cheryl Holds, Broker/Owner/Realtor. Excelsior Realty specializes in residential real estate throughout the West Metro and the Lake Minnetonka areas including Excelsior, Wayzata, Minnetonka, Minnetrista, Orono, Chanhassen, Shorewood, Mound and Victoria.

Excelsior Realty was founded in 2004 with a simple idea: real estate didn’t have to feel like a transaction with a national chain. It could feel like working with neighbors who happened to know the market cold. Today’s team brings the same hands-on, neighborhood feel, backed by real market expertise and a genuine investment in every client’s outcome.

With years of experience, in-depth knowledge of local inventory and market conditions, our clients have come to expect (and receive) unparalleled results. Whether negotiating a sale, receiving insight on current market values or developing marketing strategies for your home, we deal in the commodity of trust and deliver exceptional results that forge lasting client relationships.

We look forward to working with you and your family, exceeding your expectations and making your next real estate purchase, sale or investment the very best one yet.

I have been a real estate agent with Excelsior Realty since February 2021. The service that the brokerage provides to agents is unrivaled. Excelsior Realty equips agents with everything we need to be successful in helping our clients achieve their real estate goals. I highly recommend Excelsior Realty to agents, sellers, buyers, or those looking for rental property management.

I would highly recommend Amber Harvey as a realtor. She spent a lot of time searching for condominiums for me in a tough market. Amber found one that was perfect for me. She also guided me though the buying process and made sure we were on track for closing. She returned all my calls and texts promptly. Amber was professional and passionate about being a realtor. Whether you are buying or selling, I would contact her today!

Aaron helped me buy a home a few years ago and it was a great process.  We looked at about 10 homes and found the one and he negotiated a great price on the property.   Thank you!

Aaron and his team sold our home quickly and at a fair price due to his persistence in making sure the house was prepped properly and all the marketing was beautifully done and ready to go the second it hit the market.  We couldn't be happier!
