About Mari
Since Mari was a young girl, she has been interested in homes and people. So, becoming a realtor was a very natural path for her. She has enjoyed working with her clients, while helping them through a very pivotal moment in their lives.
Mari has a keen sense of the markets within the Twin Cities. She especially has deep connections to Richfield, Northeast Minneapolis, North Minneapolis, Midway Saint Paul, and the Shoreview area. Not only doing an abundance of business in those locations, she also has lived in those communities throughout her life. Most recently, she has planted roots in Shoreview with her husband, Pete, her children, Fern, Birdie, and Oskar, and dog, Huey.
As a Listing Agent, Mari takes her role earnestly. She sees selling your home as an art - and it is very important to her that your home sells in a timely manner and that it reaches the crest of your profit potential. She provides not only a price opinion, but a comprehensive list of staging and repair suggestions. Also, she is a perfectionist when it comes to her listings - you are in good hands with her if you desire that your property is represented skillfully and proficiently.
As a Buyer’s Agent, Mari has the ability to help her clients with immersing herself into their dream and learning what all of their needs are. Every buyer has different needs and timelines - and she loves being a guiding light for their journey, no matter where they are on it. She is able to come up with creative solutions in competitive markets, making sure her clients are protected, all while helping them attain their goals and dreams of becoming homeowners. Having knowledge, experience, and the ability to make those creative solutions for clients is very important in this business, and Mari possesses those attributes.

“Mari did a fantastic job helping us find our first home! She was very attentive to our needs, was always available when we needed her and kept a wonderfully upbeat and pleasant demeanor throughout the process! Thanks Mari and Verve for making our dreams come true!” — Tyler
“I reached out to Mari Koplin in late spring on the recommendation of a coworker and had a fantastic experience from our first Zoom meeting getting to know each other. She was knowledgeable, flexible, and responsive throughout my first home buying experience and we had a great interpersonal relationship where we could focus on possibilities and potential but without getting sucked into euphemisms usually employed to make things seem better than they are. Mari is the type of realtor that is more concerned with helping you find the right home rather than make a quick sale, which is not to say things can’t move quickly as we put an offer in on the very first house we looked at. In all, we put in four offers and Mari made it all so easy. It was truly a joy working with her.” — Trevor
“Mari was truly amazing to work with. Before even meeting with us, it was apparent she did her research on our home, neighborhood and the current market. She brought a detailed packet that outlined everything to our first meeting, was very honest and open, and really listened to our needs/expectations. She honestly blew us away … and we never felt like just another client. She really worked hard for us.” — Andy
“Mari Koplin provided us with a flawless home purchasing experience and exemplary customer service. I would recommend her to anyone!” — Becca
“Worked with Mari Koplin at Verve Realty! She’s super proactive, and responsive which is really needed in this market! Sold our house in a couple days, and helped get us into the new house. Really easy to go to for all questions, which you’ll have lots of when purchasing a home!” — Cindy
“I really appreciated both buying and selling my home with Mari. Our home offer was accepted even though there were 2 other offers over $50,000 more than ours. She also got us a great deal when selling my first home. Mari was available to answer any questions and helped keep us calm in a stressful situation.” — Tyler
“Mari was outstanding from start to finish. She was quick to respond to all of our questions, extremely informative, and just an overall joy to work with. Would highly recommend 10/10!” — Brad
“We really enjoyed working with Mari. We were in the process of finding a home and contacted Mari for her help. She has been very patient with us throughout this entire process. It took us half a year to decide to look at a house and Mari would check on us occasionally throughout that time. She made us feel comfortable taking our time. When we did eventually decide on looking at a home, she was readily available for the showing. She was a big help in making the leap to buy the home. She was always available for questions and provided great advise. We were happy with the speed of communication she had between us and the seller. She was always on top of things and was very knowledgeable in what she was doing!“ — Thav
“Mari is the Bestival of Nations, very knowledgeable and makes for a comfortable experience. She's all that and a warehouse size bag of chips with dip on the side!” — James
