Get to know Lydia Bakeberg

What made you decide to pursue a path in real estate?

I decided to pursue real estate because I’ve always been interested in homes, people, and the process of helping someone find a place that feels like home. I love that real estate allows me to build relationships while also helping people through such an important and exciting decision in their lives. As I’m entering this next stage of life myself, I’ve become even more interested in homes and what makes a space feel comfortable, and truly your own.

What are you looking forward to about real estate?

I’m most looking forward to meeting new people, building meaningful relationships, and being able to help clients through the buying or selling process. I’m excited to continue learning and growing in the industry and have the opportunity to make what can be a stressful process feel more exciting and manageable for my clients.

What aspect of the real estate industry interests you the most?

The relationship side of real estate interests me the most. I love getting to know people and understanding what is important to them so I can help them find something that fits their needs and lifestyle. I’m also really interested in homes themselves, from the design and functionality of a space to creating a clean, welcoming environment that people are proud to call home.

What do you like to do when you aren't working?

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my fiancé Brock. I also enjoy staying active, exploring new places, riding and training horses, and walks outside. I enjoy learning about wellness, clean living, and creating a healthy and comfortable home environment. I’m currently in an exciting season of life as I prepare for my wedding in 2027, so I also love spending time planning and preparing for that next chapter!

Client Testimonials

“I listed my Mpls property with another realtor and it was a nightmare. Luckily I found Marcus. He immediately gave me peace of mind and knew exactly what to do. He invested in the property with staging, professional photos, landscaping, etc. I couldn't have been more pleased with Marcus and his team. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and has good communication skills. He guided me through the negotiations and fought to get me the best deal possible. I highly recommend him.”

“Marcus went above and beyond the average Realtor. His passion to help others is an inspiration. If it wasn't for him, I would not have the home I wanted!”

– Mike

“We used Marcus as our buying agent for our new house. He worked with us during every step of the process. Through initial research, house hunting, negotiating, and closing, he was great to work with. His knowledge of the area really helped us find the perfect house.”

– Chris

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Icon Real Estate! Sarah and Marcus are first class professionals who assisted my Mom with buying and selling a home, and me with selling a home. They were great advocates who never made us feel pressured to buy or sell during the process. Sarah is one of the most responsive people I have ever worked with and is an excellent communicator. I look forward to working with them again in the future.”
