The Herrmann Team | Home Avenue Flat Fee Realty
The Herrmann Team is a real estate team with Home Avenue Flat Fee Realty, a Minnesota-licensed real estate brokerage. We provide full-service buyer representation throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding Twin Cities communities. We help you search for homes, schedule and attend showings, evaluate property condition and value, review comparable sales, develop an offer strategy, prepare and explain the purchase agreement and addenda, negotiate key terms, coordinate inspections and financing, and guide you through closing. Our approach emphasizes clear communication, practical education, and helping you make informed decisions throughout the purchase.
Buying a home involves much more than finding a property online. The Herrmann Team provides hands-on guidance, research, negotiation, transaction coordination, and support throughout the entire purchase.

Average Buyer Rebate
$3,658
Based on qualifying buyer transactions closed from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Individual rebate amounts vary based on the purchase price, compensation available, financing, and transaction terms.
The amount of any rebate depends on the purchase price, the compensation available in the transaction, and other applicable transaction requirements. We will explain how the rebate works and provide an estimate based on the home you are considering.
Whether you are buying your first home, moving within the Twin Cities, or relocating to Minnesota, The Herrmann Team can help you understand the process, identify homes that fit your priorities, and move forward at a pace that feels comfortable.

Yes. We offer Offer-to-Closing Full Facilitation for transactions where the buyer and seller already know who they want to work with but need professional help with the paperwork and closing process.
We can help prepare and explain the purchase agreement, coordinate signatures and deadlines, draft related forms when needed, communicate with the parties or agents involved, and help keep the transaction organized through closing.
Call us to discuss the property, the parties involved, and the cost of facilitation for your transaction.
