Testimonials from our amazing clients

The Hawksfords

We recently had the pleasure of working with Casey to buy our first home in a competitive housing market. We love that Casey has the knowledge and expertise of a seasoned realtor but is still calm, patient, and willing to truly listen to what we wanted as buyers.

What truly stood out to us was Casey's unwavering commitment and tireless effort to ensure we found the perfect home. Once we found it, Casey helped us to navigate offers and counteroffers, coming up with creative solutions to help us get our future home!

We highly recommend Casey to anyone looking for a realtor who combines professionalism with a personal touch.

Andrew was incredibly helpful in giving us a better sense of the Minneapolis area. He didn’t just show us neighborhoods—he gave us context.

We learned about commute times, local schools, parks, restaurants, and the general vibe of each area. It helped us narrow down what felt like a good fit for our lifestyle and made the city feel much more approachable and familiar.

Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Andrew to any future relocation clients. Moving to a new city can feel overwhelming, but Andrew made the entire process so much easier.

Michelle Mathieu M.D.

Working with Andrew as our Realtor was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient throughout the entire homebuying process. and really took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us zero in on neighborhoods and properties that fit our needs and budget.

What really stood out was the attention to detail and how well we were guided through each step—from touring homes in Edina, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, and Minnetonka (many of them virtually!) to making a competitive offer and seeing everything through to closing. He was available and on top of everything.

He gave honest, thoughtful advice—especially helpful since we were moving from out of state—and never made us feel rushed or pressured. It truly felt like he was working in our best interest every step of the way.

The house we ultimately bought was a unique property that Andrew found for us at just the right time—we were truly lucky. It wasn’t something we would have come across on our own, and we’re so grateful they were keeping an eye out and thinking ahead on our behalf.

My spouse and I worked with Casey for several months to assist us in making a long distance move from Florida to the Twin Cities. He is very intuitive and listened to what we wanted, which led us to find the perfect neighborhood in South Minneapolis. We ended up in a bidding war which was very stressful, but Casey was very calm and empathetic during the whole process which helped us to make an offer that got us the home we wanted. He went above and beyond including doing a tour of several homes remotely for us while we were still in Florida.

We were so impressed with his vast knowledge of the different neighborhoods throughout Minneapolis and St Paul. Without him, we really would have been so lost as we were not completely familiar with the amazing areas throughout the region.

Casey is very passionate about finding the perfect home for his clients and is really flexible if you change your mind on what you want. In addition, he had some great resources for contractors to help us make some improvements to our new home.

We have bought and sold several properties and we have never had such a personalized experience like we had with Casey. Not only is he a great real estate agent, he is an amazing person and is the only agent we will use in the future.

The absolute best homebuying experience with Casey Golden!

Relocating from California to Minnesota with two kids (and a cat!), two careers, and a cross-country to-do list a mile long was no small feat—but with Casey by our side, it became not just manageable, but exciting. From day one, Casey approached our move with the kind of personal investment that shows a next level of concern and dedication to what was best for our family.

He conducted dozens of showings on our behalf—sometimes multiple in a single day—sending us comprehensive video walk-throughs with thoughtful, in-depth commentary that went far beyond pointing out finishes or square footage. He highlighted opportunities, potential challenges, neighborhood context, and lifestyle fit in a way that made it possible for us to truly envision ourselves in each space—all while we were still living 2,000 miles away.

Casey gave us his full attention, fielding our late-night questions, hopping on spontaneous FaceTimes, and working around time zones and family schedules to make sure we never missed a beat. He had our best interests at heart in every interaction and brought a level of knowledge, strategy, and empathy that was simply unmatched. He wasn’t just checking boxes—he was helping us make one of the most important transitions of our lives, with intention and care.

Thanks to Casey, we didn’t just find a house—we found our home. A place where our kids will grow up, where we’ll build memories, and where we already feel a deep sense of belonging. He made sure we landed in our desired School District (a huge must for us!!) in a neighborhood that reflects our tastes, supports our lifestyle, and gives us room to thrive.

If you’re moving within the Twin Cities or if your moving to Minnesota from out of state—look no further than Casey Golden. He is a rare combination of tireless professional, strategic thinker, and genuinely kind human being. We are beyond grateful for his role in helping us start this exciting new chapter. This move was a huge leap, and thanks to Casey, we landed exactly where we were meant to be.

Highly highly HIGHLY recommend Casey and the Golden Shields team at Coldwell Banker.

We happened to meet at an open house in advance of when we were seriously beginning our home search, and ended up contacting him a few months later because of the great impression he made. He is so knowledgeable and most importantly, very creative and hardworking when it comes to helping you sell your house and while finding the right home too.

We braced ourselves for the home searching experience because of how anxiety- inducing it had been previously, and he eased those tensions quickly when he found us exactly what we’d asked for (including wants not just needs!) in an off-market property.

If you’re looking for someone who knows the market, is familiar with all sorts of neighborhoods in the Twin Cities Metro, and is just an all around incredibly enjoyable person to work with, call Casey! You won’t regret it.

Talk about a full service realtor!

Casey is the best. Not only did he help us find our beautiful home here in Saint Paul but he found our wonderful realtor in Springfield, MO who helped us get our home sold there. He helped with every aspect of the re-location process from recommending our insurance broker, finding movers to help us unload, referring someone to fence our yard and finding us a handyman to help with all our projects.

He and his partner in crime, Andrew, also helped my daughter and her family find a home and re-locate to Minneapolis and helped my youngest daughter and her husband find a rental house. Thank you so much for all you’ve done Casey!!

Jessica Farrow

I’m so grateful for Casey!

My family made a cross-country move from MO to the Twin Cities, and while my husband and I weren’t ready to buy a home, Casey helped us find the perfect house in the West Seventh to rent while we get to know the area.

He really listened to what we were wanting in a home/location, always responded quickly to our questions, and even toured the location and gave us tips for local dining and entertainment. We are so happy in our new neighborhood! We will definitely work with Casey when we are looking to buy our forever home.

Thank you so much, Casey!
