Meet Our Team

our story

It all started over a bowl of pad thai in 2017. Kyle was building a team, and Laura was looking to grow with one and run operations. What started as an employer and employee relationship quickly grew into a true partnership and friendship.

Today we run this small-but-mighty team together, invest together, and flip together. Kyle leads the negotiating. Laura keeps every detail on track. We have a lot of fun doing it, and we bring that energy to a process that can feel overwhelming and stressful at times.

The People Behind the Team

Get to know us

Kyle Olson

Founder and Lead Negotiator

Kyle started his real estate career in 2003 and went on to found the Beyond Homes Team, helping Twin Cities families buy, sell, and invest ever since. Lead negotiator. Market-stats guy. Back in his St. Thomas days, he was the catcher for the Tommies, which taught him two things: stay calm under pressure, and always see the play coming. Real estate has plenty of curveballs, and Kyle knows how to handle them.

He grew up in Maple Grove and never left, now living there with his wife, Hannah, and their three boys, Vann, Sam, and Asher. Summer weekends belong to baseball fields and bleachers, where Kyle is both a fan and a coach. Off the clock, he’s biking, traveling, or escaping to the cabin.

He’s always learning, always sharpening his investing game, and always happy to mentor the next great agent. Real estate is just where he puts it all to work.

Laura Lenneman

Director of Operations

Laura runs operations for the small-but-mighty Beyond Homes Team. Most days she’s behind the scenes, keeping every timeline, document, and detail on track from first call to closing table, but don’t be surprised to see her opening doors too. Outside the team, she flips a few homes for fun and hosts guests at a couple of short-term rentals. It’s a little bit of strategy, a little bit of chaos, and she loves every minute of it.

Laura and her husband, Theo, grew up in the area and now call Maple Grove home with their four kids: Nora, Aiden, and identical twin boys, Chase and Isaiah. It’s a boy-dominated household, which means sports, trampoline wrestling matches, and an alarming number of grocery runs, because apparently boys are always hungry. Thankfully, Laura and Nora hold down the calm side of the house. Life is busy, loud, and never short on entertainment.

For Laura, it’s coffee first, always. She loves good food in places with a little personality, especially a juicy burger at a great dive bar. Hot yoga and hiking keep her grounded, travel is her reset button, and puzzles and board games are totally her jam. She’s also still working on becoming an avid reader, one book at a time.

“Real estate isn’t a transaction to us. It’s a relationship. Most moves happen at big moments in life, and we want to be the people you trust through all of it, not just the ones handing over the keys.”

They worked hard for us during the entire process and negotiated a great price for a home we love.

We had a great experience working with Kyle and Laura and Maple Grove, MN. They were professional, always respectful, and genuinely wanted the best outcome to find opportunities in the area.

Communication was clear, with quick replies, clear explanations, and regular updates so we never felt left wondering what was happening.

They really know the local market and gave practical, honest advice that made the process much less stressful.

If you want real professionals who care, communicate well, and get results, I highly recommend the Beyond Homes team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Kyle and Laura to support the sale of my home. I had worked with them several years prior, and had a wonderful experience with them then, and had an even better experience this time around. I felt supported, understood, and valued as a client. Even more, Kyle and Laura helped me when my stress levels became a bit too elevated throughout the process. They guided me through every step of the way, and I maintained full trust in them, given their extensive market knowledge and straightforward approach to educating me, as the client, on what to expect. I fully recommend working with Kyle and Laura for your buying or selling needs. Having now worked with them on both sides of that process, they did not disappoint. I think my favorite part was that they did not overpromise and underdeliver, as some individuals often do or try. Rather, they were always up front with me, and answered every question I threw at them. They are an amazing team, and I look forward to working with them again, once I am ready to reenter the housing market - thanks again, you both are amazing!
