NONMLS.com

Opportunity Beyond the MLS NONMLS.com is the original exclusive, off-market property marketplace syndicate, built to position a property prominently to a select audience wherever preference and opportunity align. What started as an idea on a whiteboard now operates as a fully integrated marketing option for buyers and sellers, offering structured private alternatives to traditional MLS platforms, à la carte marketing options, and highly selective venues designed for discretion, opportunity, and value, available exclusively here. Coldwell Banker's proven 3-Phase Marketing Strategy orchestrates the perfect launch for a property. A private NONMLS period tests pricing and gathers feedback without accumulating public days on market, flowing into a Coming Soon campaign that builds buzz and anticipation. By the Full Public Launch on MLS, your property enters the market with established demand and maximum visibility, positioned to secure the best possible price in the shortest time. This approach eliminates unnecessary days on market and price drop history, avoids missed buyer inquiries from third-party sites that block direct agent contact, keeps pricing controlled instead of left to outdated third-party algorithms, and prevents portals from attaching inaccurate, unrepresentative assessments to your listing.

Pricing

Automated valuations, or those relying on 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. This approach considers the unique opportunity of a property by combining market intelligence, valuation expertise, and real-world experience to create a strategy designed around maximizing return.  With over 10,000 real estate portfolio valuations completed for some of the largest and most sophisticated local and global lenders, Mike Wilen developed software to help calculate loss severity percentage on loans. The result is a highly nuanced valuation methodology that leaves clients with a high level of confidence in their pricing decisions.  Property pricing draws on first-hand knowledge, robust experience, and well-founded intuition. Every option is on the table, ready to be discussed to find the best pricing strategy for your ideal timing.

Land

Land requires a different level of expertise than traditional residential real estate. Whether marketing undeveloped acreage, farmland, recreational land, infill parcels, development sites, or environmentally sensitive property, the Minnesota Team evaluates every asset through the lens of its highest and best use. Each property is analyzed for its physical characteristics, zoning, land use, utility availability, access, entitlement opportunities, development potential, and current market conditions. That analysis forms the foundation of a strategic marketing approach designed to position the property effectively, communicate its full potential, and connect it with the most qualified buyers, from individual purchasers and investors to builders and developers. The objective is straightforward: maximize market exposure, create competitive demand, and achieve the highest possible value.

Builders & Developers

Successful residential communities begin with a strategic go-to-market plan. The Minnesota Team partners with builders and developers to position custom home communities, multifamily developments, condominium projects, townhome neighborhoods, and mixed-use projects for maximum market impact from the earliest stages of development. Every project is supported by comprehensive market intelligence, strategic positioning, award-winning creative, and an integrated sales and marketing platform designed to generate awareness, build demand, and accelerate absorption. From custom branding, photography, videography, and digital content to geo-targeted advertising, search engine optimization, custom websites, sales collateral, and lead generation, every element is developed to support a successful launch and sustained sales momentum. Marketing initiatives often begin three to six months before a community's grand opening, creating early visibility, building qualified buyer interest, and helping drive pre-sales from day one.

REO

Minnesota Team has assisted more than 50 local, national, and global lenders with the valuation, management, and disposition of REO assets throughout Minnesota. These relationships span banks, credit unions, mortgage servicers, government-sponsored enterprises, hedge funds, and institutional asset managers, supported by extensive experience in portfolio loss severity analysis, eviction management, and broker price opinions. Mike Wilen's approach to REO has also been shaped by his father's tenure with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, fostering a practical understanding of the legal, operational, and logistical complexities involved in managing distressed real estate. The result is an efficient, accountable process focused on protecting asset value and achieving timely dispositions.
