“I can't speak highly enough about BJ and his team at Roost. We had been looking for a house for over 3 years and he was able to find us one off market, in school district, and under budget within a month. My mind is blown at how efficient and responsive they were to all our questions and needs. I can't thank their team enough for what they've done for our family :) If you're struggling to find what you're looking for in this market take the time to call BJ and his team, you won't be disappointed.” - Dan

"These guys were fantastic to work with! Joe Maselter was our realtor and main point of contact. He was an invaluable asset to us as first time home sellers. He walked us through the process, gave us great advice on how to prepare the home for showings, and most importantly he really knew the marketplace and helped us determine the best asking price to list at. We sold our house in under a month and I really credit Joe, BJ, and Becky at CPG for all their hard work. I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone looking to sell in the Twin Cities!" - Drew

"My past experience with realtors has not made me a fan. BJ and Becky, however, make me rethink my bias. They were very competent and professional. We felt very comfortable with their expertise, advice and level of service. In addition, we were out of town while selling our property and Becky went out of her way to do a number things that would normally have been done by us. We are very satisfied with the LaVelle Team. Thank you" - Joe

"BJ was awesome to work with. He knew the area I was looking to buy extremely well and had access to units that weren't even on MLS. He was able to tell me about each of the condo buildings, which were great places and good investments and where to stay away. When it came time to buy it was the easiest close I've ever done. He also has fantastic connections to the area- he was able to recommend a great loan officer. When it comes time to sell he will be my first call. Would highly recommend!" - Jason

"BJ was great to work with - definitely recommended. Having known him for 25+ years, I already had confidence in his honesty and integrity. BJ's knowledge of the marketplace and patience in waiting for the right deal are unmatched" - Brandon

★★★★★
"BJ did an amazing job for us. From the initial meeting, we knew that we were in good hands. He and his team had our home sold before it even went live and did a perfect job negotiating the deal. He made an otherwise stressful process quite easy.
We could not have been happier! " - Michael

About Bj

When it comes to experience, BJ prescribes to a very strict, “more is more” policy. Yes, he’s gained notoriety representing top tier clients as a handpicked member of the nationally coveted, Compass’ Sports & Entertainment Division. But what you might not know, is that as a licensed Broker he has worn a multitude of hats – from realtor, to property manager, to investor, leasing agent, developer, and landlord.

Cutting his teeth in the condo market in the mid 2000's, BJ made his first foray into real estate by working for a leading condo & commercial developer. While there, he was also able to start representing traditional buyers and sellers. His education was cultivated from the ground up – from knocking down buildings to handing buyers new keys. Every niche he mastered laid another steppingstone in his path to success. Whether representing traditional buyers and sellers, to developers building skyscrapers, orchestrating sales and leasing for a development and property management company, or developing his own apartment buildings, there’s no end to BJ’s experience.

It came as no surprise then when the results-driven realtor took the helm of his own brokerage in 2015, assembling a roster of top tier agents who represented the best and brightest in the business. As a leading reputable local brokerage, he lauded for a high-tech, with luxury touch client care; with that, Roost merged with Compass, the #1 brokerage in the country, in 2021.

Catering to buyers, sellers, and investors alike, Roost is renowned for revolutionizing the standard of care in Minneapolis. Powered by Compass’ tech-driven platform, modern luxury brand, and nationwide reach, BJ has found his niche working with high-profile clientele in the Sports & Entertainment Division. A former college athlete himself, he’s abundantly aware of the tight-lipped discretion that pro athletes, coaches, and Grammy award winning producers require.
