Family first.
My wife Kristin and I welcomed our son, Ryker Lee, in March 2026. We also have a golden retriever named Jack.
“First and foremost, I’m a family man.”
Born and raised in Rochester. I'm a Real Estate Expert at Homes By Luke with Wayvora Realty, and a project manager at H&H Construction. I sell houses, and I also bid and manage the work that goes into them.

Most people who help you buy or sell see a house at the showing and again at closing. I also see houses with the drywall off. At H&H Construction I bid jobs, write quotes, and keep projects moving. So when you ask what a roof, a deck, or a kitchen will cost, I can get an answer from people who do the work.
That's the idea behind Homes By Luke. Price a house from real sales. Price the fixes from real bids. Then decide.
Before H&H, I spent five years as a small business owner, and I have a background in remodeling. I grew up here, and I still live and work here.
“I also work closely with builders and remodeling professionals to understand what truly adds value to a home.”
It started as a line on my LinkedIn: the strongest Realtor in Southeastern Minnesota. It's partly literal. I'm in the gym at 5 AM most mornings, and some of my Morning Thoughts get written right after.
The other part is how I work. I give you the numbers straight, even when they aren't the ones you hoped for. If waiting until spring or fixing something first is better for you, I'll say so.

You'll find me in the gym, watching the Vikings, cooking for my family, or outside somewhere in Minnesota. I also volunteer with the Rochester Youth Football Association.
I write Morning Thoughts early, about houses, the market, family, and job sites.
Read Morning ThoughtsCall or text 507-216-2497. That number comes to me. If I'm at a showing or on a job site, I'll get back to you when I'm done.
Recent sales for the price. Real bids for the fixes. You see what I see before you decide.
If spring, a repair, or a bigger down payment would put you in a better spot, you'll hear that from me.
Purchase agreements, disclosures, and addenda. I walk you through what each one means before you sign.
