Frequently Asked Questions

Is Upland focused on local Minneapolis-based real estate properties?

Yes and No. Upland has many symbiotic interrelated services and products.

In our commercial brokerage business we tend to stay close to home, or at the very least we team up with real estate experts in outlying markets.

In Net-Lease Investment Property Sales , our reach is nationwide. We've sold many properties for Sellers in other markets to buyers from different states, while the property is in another location! The NNN marketplace is vibrant and National in scope and Upland is among its leaders.
