Jane Kahnke | Coldwell Banker Global Luxury | The Odd Couple Team

Strategic, determined, and a wealth of knowledge, Jane Kahnke has a natural talent for working hard and impressing her clients by going the extra mile. She began her real estate journey over 30 years ago as an investor, purchasing her first one-bedroom rental in Minneapolis in 1990. Jane and her husband raised a family in St. Paul and now make their home in St. Paul's historic Summit-University neighborhood, where they enjoy evening walks and staying connected to the community.

Jane has established herself as a trusted partner for both buyers and sellers. She serves Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding Greater Metro area. Backed by the resources of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury and The Odd Couple Team, she offers clients exceptional market knowledge, clear communication, and marketing strategies that get results. Clients consistently praise her as a “flawless 10/10” professional—prepared, patient, and creative in navigating challenges. Whether handling complex estate sales, guiding luxury homeowners or first-time buyers, Jane brings expertise, responsiveness, and steady guidance to every transaction.

Before entering real estate, Jane graduated from the U of M's Carlson School of Management with a Spanish minor. She built a career as an editor for consulting firms and, in 2002, co-founded a neighborhood inner-city church that remains a vital part of the community. She believes in giving back, strengthening neighborhoods, and building lasting relationships rooted in trust and respect. In her free time, Jane loves to explore the area's diverse dining options, continue to improve her Spanish, and travel to European and Latin American countries.

For Jane, real estate is about more than transactions—it’s about people, stories, and community. From helping out of town buyers find the luxury home of their dreams, to braving a Minnesota blizzard to help clients find the perfect home, or navigating a complicated estate sale with care and precision, Jane is the kind of ally clients are grateful to have by their side. Her combination of strategic expertise, local knowledge, and excellent listening skills ensures every client feels supported from start to finish.
