When it comes to real estate, we are not just about transactions…
we about connections.
Integrity, clarity, and curiosity aren't just buzzwords either—they're the cornerstones of how we operate.

We have got your back every step of the way. So work with us, to ensure your journey is not just about the properties, but the possibilities.
About Emma
Founder, Emma Kostka has been rooted in real estate since 2019, but before that she spent over a decade working with homeowners in residential construction.
She says " I've always loved that feeling when a house just clicks and feels like home. I believe home is more than 4 walls but somewhere to be lived in and loved on.
With a go-getter attitude and a hustling spirit, I get the hustle and bustle of moving – been there, done that 17 times!
In my downtime, you'll catch me horsing around (literally – I'm into horses, donkeys, mules you name it )
or getting lost in a good book.
Or pretending I’m Joanna Gaines around our hobby farm in Osseo.
I'm all about our community, being an Osseo native since '07. I get the charm of small-town life in the Greater Chippewa Valley.
So, whether you're buying, selling, or just curious about real estate, let's chat! I'm here to make it all a bit less stressful and a lot more fun for you."
If you are looking for a local, loyal, home-girl let's grab that coffee, and map out your real estate plans.
And the brokerage itself, Homegrown you might ask?
Homegrown Realty was born because just likes houses become homes for its residents, brokerages become homes for their agents.
Founder, Emma Kostka couldn't find the right house for her license, so she decided to build it herself.
With a strong business background (founder of 715 Diesel, 715 Realty, cut her teeth helping her family's construction business)
& the educational background to boot (Bachelors in Business Admin, Masters in Business, UW-Eau Claire)
she endeavored to build a honest brokerage.
Not the biggest, not the top producing, MOST houses sold kind of place.
But rather, the best - for her clients who value trust, clarity and that down to earth approach.
A Home where relationships >>> quantities sold.
Where lead generation isn't calling 100 people a day, or paying Zillow for leads.
But where genuine connections are made out in the community, where past clients are so WOW'ed they send their friends and family to Homegrown.
Growing a brokerage where life is lived, work is accomplished and the sunset is watched from the back patio with your loved ones.
