About Karen
My name is Karen Pagel Guerndt, the broker and owner since January 2005.
I grew up in Duluth, and love talking about "my city" and "my lake" and showing people what life is like in the Northland! Each real estate transaction, like every customer, is unique.
I strive to simplify the process of buying and selling real estate, so it's important to listen to each client and find out how I can best serve them. My extensive experience and proven track record are factors you can count on when working with me. Let me help you achieve your real estate goals and dreams!

"Karen did an amazing job helping us prepare and sell our 100 year old starter home after we had moved out of Minnesota. She went above and beyond, finding us a painter, handyman, inspector, and even helped us with lawn care and hauling off some junk!

""In the autumn of 2022 Karen Pagel Guerndt was my real-estate agent as I sought to buy a house in Duluth. She is the best agent I have ever worked with. From the beginning, she listened carefully to the house specifications I wanted, answered my many
…
Read More questions promptly and knowledgeably, and helped guide me through the processes of examining houses carefully and then, finally, purchasing one. She was always objective in her observations and analyses of properties. She did not cheerlead for particular houses but instead followed a consistent procedure of noting every feature of a house, good or bad, and letting me do the deciding. When it came time to make an offer on a house, Karen proved herself to be a trustworthy guide for me and an excellent negotiator with the seller. She was involved in every step of the process, and always cheerfully responded to me and to situations that arose. She even shoveled the sidewalk of the great house I purchased! Karen is super-knowledgeable about housing and real estate in the greater Duluth area. Her tips to me about contractors and inspectors have been invaluable. Because her business, Real Estate Services, is local and small, she was able to give very dedicated, personal services. And she works hard. Karen Pagel Guerndt has my highest recommendation.""
