The Distad Team

Since 1978, The Distad Team has been a trusted name in real estate, helping buyers and sellers achieve their dreams in the Twin Cities and beyond. Rooted in the vibrant Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul, our family-run business is comprised of Claire Bisanz Distad and brothers, Tom and Mike Distad.

With deep community ties and a long history in the area— having lived here for decades and working alongside our father in real estate—our knowledge of the Twin Cities is unparalleled. Our team has had the privilege of continuing the Bisanz family’s legacy of excellence in real estate, with Claire’s grandparents, the Bisanz family, having developed and built much of the Highland Park neighborhood in the 1950s. Today, as part of Hilltop Development, we continue to shape St. Paul with new housing, including single family homes, apartment buildings, duplexes, and townhomes.

Whether working with single-family homes, custom luxury properties, or investment opportunities, our team’s expertise and personalized service ensure every client feels confident, informed, and cared for. From first-time homebuyers to custom luxury new construction, we take pride in helping clients achieve their goals, always with a focus on integrity and customer satisfaction.

The Twin Cities isn’t just where we work—it’s where we live, run, bike, and explore. From its top-ranked urban parks and trails to its dynamic professional and family opportunities, we’re passionate about sharing everything this area has to offer.

Whether you’re a lifelong St. Paul resident, new to the Twin Cities, or relocating from out of state, we’re here to guide you home with dedication, integrity, and a genuine love for the community we serve. Let The Distad Team help you make the Twin Cities your own.
