Testimonials
  • Jack Belina is the best Realtor we have known . He is a fantastic negotiator. If you want the highest selling price for your current home and the lowest buying price for the house you want, use Jack. We had our third child in the middle of our move and Jack was almost like a grandpa to our kids. He just stole our hearts. Margaret & Lane Johnson, Eden Prairie

  • Jack made the process fun. He has a great sense of humor and works hard! Kathy & Rick Meyer, Eagan
  • We will definitely hire Jack again if we sell another home. He was very thorough and paid attention to all the details. The pamphlet he designed for our home was excellent; it even listed area information such as churches and schools. We found Jack very easy to work with. Dorothy & Jim Kelly, Rosemount
 
Personal Background
  • Jack grew up in South Minneapolis, near Lake Nokomis. He and his wife, Maxine, have four children.
  • Following graduation from the University of St Thomas, in St Paul, he entered Air Force Pilot Training.
  • Over the next 28 years, Jack flew over 4000 hours in single and multi-engine aircraft, commanded several organizations worldwide, and served as the Inspector General for the Air University. During the Vietnam War, Jack flew over 400 combat air rescue missions in North and South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
  • Jack returned home to Minneapolis as the Commander of the North Central Liaison Region, a position he retained until retiring from the Air Force.
  • In 1991, Jack was one of three volunteer pilots who flew a light airplane from Minnesota to Greenland to participate in the 'Greenland Expedition', an effort to locate and recover several World War II 'P-38' aircraft from a glacier on Greenland's Icecap.
  • Jack says that his second career as a Realtor enables him to continue 'working with people' and 'helping others achieve their goals'. He enjoys providing an exceptionally high quality of service because he found it difficult to find dedicated Realtors during his many Air Force moves. He states that 'A professional Realtor should be able to reduce Buyer & Seller Stress, not magnify it through negligence or a lack of follow-up.'
