We Are Investors
At Side by Side, we believe real estate investing can help people achieve lifestyle and financial freedom. As real estate investors ourselves, we understand how to buy and sell investment properties.
We are a team of realtors who specialize in helping clients find profitable real estate investments in the Twin Cities area. This includes single family, small multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes) and commercial buildings.
Background
Our entire team invests, and we spend our days touring and looking for the perfect property for you. From start to beyond closing, we help our clients come up with a strategy that fits their goals, provide on-going education and networking opportunities plus make sure you have all the tools you need to be a successful landlord and investor.
Meet The Team
Scott Hoefler
Scott grew up on the South Side of Chicago. He'd often take walks with his dad through the neighborhood to look at houses. His dad would often describe the homes as if they were more than just bricks and timber, but stories and lifestyles of the people who lived there. That perspective never left him.
In 2013, he and his twin brother and now business partner, Drew, bought their first duplex. They “house-hacked.” By living in one unit and renting out the other, they were able to cover the mortgage. They lived for free. That experience, and many more real estate adventures to follow became the foundation for Side by Side Realty. Side by Side is a Twin Cities brokerage specializing in multifamily investments. Scott obsesses over unique properties that help create unique lifestyles. In addition, Scott owns a portfolio of rentals and hospitality properties. He brings an investor's perspective to every home purchase or sale. Whether you are looking for an investment property or a single family home to raise your family… he’d love to be your guide through the process. His why is simple: Real estate can help you create the lifestyle of your dreams AND he wants to help you get there.
REALTOR
Jenny Hoefler
REALTOR
Jenny bought her first duplex in 2015 and quickly discovered a passion for real estate investing and helping others build wealth through property ownership. Since then, she and her husband, Scott, have grown their portfolio to include 3 duplexes and 7 short term rentals.
With 13 years of experience in B2B sales and sales leadership, Jenny brings strong negotiation skills, strategy, and an investor’s mindset to every transaction, because every home is an investment. A former D1 athlete, she’s competitive, driven, and committed to delivering results, while also making the process approachable and enjoyable for her clients.
As a mom of three, Jenny understands how important it is to find not just a house, but a place to truly call home.
Richard Raymond
REALTOR
Richard combines an engineer’s eye with a remodeler’s perspective. After a decade as a systems engineer, during which he built his own rental portfolio by purchasing and renovating distressed properties, he realized his true passion was helping friends and family navigate the real estate process.
That background uniquely shapes his client service. Richard looks past the surface of a home to evaluate its functionality, spot hidden issues, and identify untapped value. He applies a practical construction background, creative problem-solving, and strict attention to detail to every step of a transaction.
For Richard, real estate is about adding real value through preparation and sharp negotiation. Armed with a deep professional network from his investing days, he solves complex problems and remains a trusted resource long after closing.
Outside of real estate, Richard is a sailboat captain and fitness enthusiast. He brings that same calm, prepared, and resourceful approach to his clients that he uses on the water.
Garrett Gordon
REALTOR
The man, the myth, the legend G-Man! Garrett will never write his own bio or brag about himself so I'll tell you a little about him. Garrett got into real estate after realizing he couldn't retire early as a golf pro. Starting with rentals in Colorado, Garrett got into real estate investing and property management and never looked back. Once back in Minnesota, he met Drew and Scott, started investing locally in real estate and quickly went from property manager to realtor. If you ask nicely, he'll still answer all your property management (and golf) related questions.
