Alena Temple

“10/10 would recommend Alena, Chris, and the entire Boardwalk Realty team. This incredible duo helped us find the perfect home at a critical time—my wife was seven months pregnant, and we needed a place to call home. While we’re grateful for the work they did on the home we ultimately purchased, what truly stood out was the extraordinary effort they put into researching a different property that initially caught our interest. They uncovered serious mold issues that would have impacted our family’s health, and in their eyes would likely deter us from buying the home, making the prospect of earning a commission unlikely. That kind of integrity is rare. What’s more, they did some of this research while on vacation, responding to our questions from a white sandy beach. I’ve never seen agents work so hard not to close a deal, simply because it was the right thing to do. Beyond their professionalism, Alena and Chris are an absolute joy to work with. They’re knowledgeable, dependable, responsive, and genuinely invested in their clients’ best interests. Chris is old home certified, and Alena brings over 20 years of experience in the Minneapolis market. When we discovered a small roof leak in our new home—newborn in arms—we reached out to them for help. Within an hour, they had not only provided a trusted recommendation but had also scheduled the repair on our behalf. Alena and Chris went above and beyond for us during a stressful and important chapter of our lives. If and when the time comes to sell, we won’t think twice about who to call.”

“Chris and Alena are wonderful realtors to work with! My husband and I closed on our first house recently with them. They made the searching and buying process seamless. Chris and Alena are caring, responsive, and always ready to help. They are knowledgeable about what things to look for in order to get a high-quality home that was in our budget. If you are looking to buy a home, I highly recommend Chris and Alena!”

“Alena Temple helped us buy our first home in 2019, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide through such a competitive market. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests at heart, helping us navigate multiple offers until we found our perfect first home. Alena took the time to educate us about the homes we viewed, which made us confident and well-prepared buyers. When it came time to search for our second home, we knew Alena was the only person we wanted to work with. She brought the same dedication and care, ensuring we found a home that fit our growing family. Alena is more than just a realtor to us – she’s someone we trust and now call a friend. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!”
