Meet Jovannie Arzate

Jovannie Arzate White Bear Lake, MN Real Estate Agent Headshot

Jovannie Arzate

Meet the Founder, Jovannie

Every Move Begins With a Story

Whether you're buying your first home, making room for a growing family, preparing for retirement, or simply wondering what comes next, every move begins with a story.

Before we ever talk about homes, neighborhoods, or market conditions, I believe your story deserves to be heard.

Because while real estate is my profession, people have always been my passion.

Why I Chose This Path

There was always a room being painted, furniture being rearranged, or another project underway. Looking back, I realize they weren't simply improving houses; they were creating places where birthdays would be celebrated, holidays would be shared, and memories would be made.

That perspective has never left me.

It's why I don't see homes as properties. I see them as the backdrop for life's most meaningful moments.

Helping someone navigate that journey isn't just a transaction to me; it's a privilege.

Relationships Before Real Estate

I've always believed that every person has a story worth hearing.

Some of the greatest opportunities and friendships in my life have started with a simple conversation over a cup of coffee. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people, asking thoughtful questions, and learning what matters most to them.

If we ever meet, don't be surprised if we spend more time talking about your goals, your family, or what you're hoping to build than we do talking about real estate.

Because before I can help you find the right home, I want to understand what "home" means to you.

I've never been very good at treating people like transactions.

It's just not how I'm wired.

The Heart Behind the Steward Pillar

Before founding Steward Pillar, I spent years building relationships in the corporate world. It reinforced something I've believed for as long as I can remember:

Trust isn't built through promises.

It's built by showing up, following through, and consistently doing what's right.

That conviction became the foundation for Steward Pillar.

I didn't create this company to become the biggest brokerage.

I created it because I believed there was room for something different.

A company where integrity comes before transactions.

Where relationships outlast closings.

Where people always come before properties.

Where stewardship isn't just part of our name. It's the standard we strive to live by every day.

What You Can Expect

When we work together, my goal isn't simply to help you buy or sell a home.

It's to help you make confident decisions.

To communicate openly.

To educate instead of pressure.

To advocate for your best interests.

And to earn your trust every step of the way.

If there's one thing I hope people remember after working with me, it isn't how many homes I've sold.

I hope they remember how they felt.

That they felt heard.

That they felt respected.

That they knew someone was genuinely looking out for them.

Because that's what lasts.

I'd Love to Hear Your Story

If you've made it this far, thank you.

It means you've taken the time to learn a little about me, and I'd love the opportunity to learn about you.

Whether you're ready to move tomorrow, next year, or simply have questions about what's possible, my door is always open.

Let's grab a cup of coffee, have a conversation, and see where your next chapter begins.

Everyone has a story. I'd be honored to hear yours.

Let’s have a conversation

Client Reviews

Jovannie was more than just amazing; he was damn near perfect. His attention to detail, knowledge on all of our questions, and willingness to research the answer for us if he didn’t know, were more than we ever could have expected. He got us into the best, biggest, and most gorgeous house we looked at! If you want someone who is going to work for you, and not the paycheck, this is your guy.

Was very helpful in finding a home and working with us on multiple homes and trying to get one. He tries to help you get the home you want and goes beyond in helping you out. Was very well informed on homes in the location that my significant other and I wanted to live in. Jovannie also replies within a reasonable amount of time (very quick). Really liked how quickly he set up appointments to look at houses to tour and to fit it with me and my significant other. I recommend Jovannie as your realtor, as he was phenomenal to work with and talk to.

Having Jovannie as my realtor was a phenomenal experience, which made everything smooth and easy to find a house and close on it. He was on top of his game on what kind of house we wanted, and help looked at places on location wise as well. Was very well informed about the metro areas as well as even Somerset, WI, which I was also thinking about moving to. It was helpful that he was also licensed in that area/state as well. Overall, I highly recommend Jovannie as a realtor if you are looking for a new home or investments.

We love our new home. Jovannie and Twin Cities Elite made it easy. We bought before we sold and were able to sell before we closed on the new house. Jovannie and the team were very friendly and helpful. They made the transition quick and painless. The entire team was there from start to finish. I would recommend them.
