Fika (Fee-Kah)
In Sweden, “fika” is more than a coffee break. It is a daily ritual to slow down, connect with others, sharing coffee and maybe a treat.
We brought this philosophy to real estate because we believe selling a home should start with a conversation. Over a cup of coffee or other beverage, we focus on fostering true connection and building a genuine partnership.
Serving
It’s been a privilege helping so many great people with their real estate needs for many years. We proudly serve the many uniquely different communities in the Twin Cities, with clients in the following counties:
We’ll start the process over coffee or another beverage so that we can get to know each other and fully evaluate your goals for selling your home. From there, we’ll build a customized, flexible marketing strategy designed to maximize your property's value and smoothly guide us to the closing table. We don’t like surprises—nobody does—so we work proactively to avoid them, keeping you informed and protected from listing to closing!
How We Work
We offer a pragmatic approach, ensuring your real estate goals are achieved by truly listening. You will always be treated the way we want to be treated. We won’t promise more than we can deliver, and we network with other top agents to support you whenever necessary. Your needs are truly our top priority.
Home Valuation Offer
Beyond the Automated Estimate
Online valuation algorithms use generic data points to guess your home’s worth, completely missing its unique character, updates, and specific neighborhood charm.
Let's skip the auto-generated spreadsheets. I invite you to share a cup of coffee with me for a personalized, real-world market valuation. Together, we’ll evaluate your home's true features and map out a realistic strategy to maximize your property's value in today's Twin Cities market.

Working Smarter
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you will benefit from human interaction. Computer algorithms can catalog data points, but they cannot interpret the subtle nuances of a Twin Cities neighborhood or understand your unique timeline. Working together, face-to-face, we’ll custom-tailor our approach to your specific situation. Our strategy will be built on collaborative human insight, ensuring the home you are selling, or considering purchasing, is priced correctly to maximize your value.
Fika Realty is an independent residential real estate agency serving homebuyers and sellers across the Twin Cities metro area, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs.
What Our Clients Say
Mike is honest and helpful and always makes everything go well. Along with his associates, he is an excellent problem solver and works very hard to make sure things go smoothly. I know several other people that have used Mike and they have been extremely happy. J.H.
You will not find a more honest, ethical Realtor® than Mike Manning! He’s very generous with his time and talent. How many Realtors® would come the day before closing in -20-degree weather to clean a clogged sink?! He helped me both sell my house and buy a unit in a cooperative. R.H.
Thank you for being such a great advocate for me during a stressful time. After living in my home for 41 years, your patience, guidance, hard work and all the extra effort you put in got me settled in my new location. I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful support, you were amazing to work with. J.S.
Mike is not your typical Realtor®. He takes the time to get to know you and get to know what you are really looking for. He’s not trying to make a quick sale just to make a sale, he wants to make sure you end up in the home that is right for you. He is incredibly patient and takes time to listen to all of your concerns. I used him to help me find a home, but I am sure he uses the same kindness and patience and helping to sell a home also. D.O.
After losing my wife to cancer and having our five kids fly the coop, I was left with a 3,600 square foot home on 3/4 of an acre--by myself. I met with Mike thru a referral and he was instrumental in helping me prepare the house for sale; suggesting fixes / repairs, maintenance, and upgrades, and actually helped by physically doing work around the house. From initial meeting thru closing, Mike was fantastic to work with, and I highly recommend his services. J.T.
