“Highly recommend talking to Karen if you're looking into buying/selling real estate in the area! She is extremely easy to talk to and has years worth of knowledge and understanding on how the market works and everything you'll need to know to feel good about buying/selling your home.”

“We started searching for our home in Duluth while still living in another state. Karen consistently went above and beyond, making sure that we either had a live stream or a video of each property we viewed. We relied on her to give us her honest, professional opinion because we couldn't be physically present at each showing. She was there for us daytime, evenings, weekends, even while out of town herself. After several months and several offers, we finally found our forever home and we could not have done it without Karen's help.”

“Danielle is absolutely wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable about every detail of the homes we viewed. She took the best care of me as a first time home buyer. We had to do a lot of the paperwork remotely due to me being in another state and she went the extra mile to help. Truly the best! I’m in my happy home now due to her incredible work and care.”

“Thanks so much for all your hard work through this lengthy process and difficult market. You are truly a professional and a great human being!”

“As first time homebuyers we had a lot of uncertainty and questions going into it. Fortunately for us, Tiffany was fantastic putting us at ease and answering all of our questions. She worked hard and creatively throughout the whole process, and we ended up getting a great house during a tight market, and feeling confident in our offer and purchase. We highly recommend working with Tiffany!”

“The duplex I was selling was not in the best neighborhood and needed a good deal of work since I had neglected it for a while. So it wasn’t an easy sell being many viewers did not want to deal with the repairs needed. I feel Sherri had to go the extra mile to sell this property for us and she did it with competence, professionalism and patience. Selling our property was a painless experience with Sherri. I’ve dealt with other realtors from other companies over the years and many have been rude, abrupt, negative and pompous if you wouldn’t do exactly what they demanded. Working with Sherri was very refreshing. Thank you so much.”

“We have purchased two buildings through Karen. We have found her quite friendly and easy to talk with. She answers questions and finds information not readily available. She is trustworthy, and we would continue to use her for our real estate needs.”

“Danielle Rhodes is simply exceptional! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to help us find our long-term home, ensuring that every detail—nature access, house size, age of house, and the lot —aligned with our vision. She was incredibly proactive, always finding new listings and securing tours quickly so we could be the first to see them. What sets Danielle apart is her deep knowledge, dedication, and genuine care for her clients. She didn’t just guide us through the buying process—she prepared us for homeownership, offering invaluable resources and insights. When challenges arose, such as when we out of town for a key listing, Danielle stepped in without hesitation. She toured the property for us and met virtually with us to report back and prepare us for our in person tour. She helped us navigate the offer process efficiently and strategically. Danielle consistently put our best interests first, even when it meant extra effort on her part. She asked the right questions, pushed back when necessary, and made sure we were fully informed at every step. Her integrity, professionalism, and work ethic are unmatched. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly invested in your success, I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. Working with her was an absolute privilege, and thanks to her, we are now in the perfect home!”

“I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done to help me buy my first house up here (and first house in general), and your help in selling my house with such a great outcome financially. I'm sad to leave Duluth for many reasons, my friends being a big one, and of which I definitely consider you my friend.”

“Tiffany went above and beyond what I expected. I thought I would never be able to sell my house. She worked tirelessly to prove me wrong - and she did!!”

“I have had the privilege of working with Karen on several real estate transactions. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone searching for an agent who is very easy to work with. She makes you feel valued and respected. Karen works tirelessly for her clients and will advocate for your interests with the utmost professionalism.”

“Danielle is an incredible realtor to work with, she worked diligently with me to find the right home, sending me homes to review, going to countless showings over the course of 9+ months, giving me insights into what I need to look for in a well built and mantained home. I never felt pressured when looking at a house. She taught me how to look at a house objectively, to see the reality of it's condition regardless of whatever "updates" made it look attractive. She helped me keep in mind my wants and needs checklist, ensuring I wasn't compromising on something when I got tired of not seeing anything on the market that sparked my interest. When it came down to finding the house I wanted to buy she really impressed me with her transparent explanations of how offers work and her creative offer ideas that helped to put my offer in the lead. It was clear to me after meeting her a few times how well she understood the market and how much she knew about what is a quality built home. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Danielle, and I believe no one could be disappointed in the work that she does.”

“I chose Brenda as my realtor to help sell my house. Brenda was honest and upfront on what was needed to be done to have a good sale. My house was a more difficult sale and Brenda found the right buyer. The process from the start to my sale was stress free. Brenda was always easy to reach with answers to my questions and professional. I felt lucky to have Brenda for my Realtor.”
Jenine
“Tiffany was great. As first-time home-buyers she made everything seamless. Communication responsive and she helped clarify the process with us along the way. She was knowledgable on what to look for and be cautious of in the Duluth area for home buying.”
Paulina
“We have bought multiple houses from Sherri and we can’t say enough about the level of service she gives us. The first house we bought from Sherri she must have shown us close to 100 before we settled in one. She is always so patient and understanding with us. When we call with something she drops everything and works around or schedule or makes it work with little to no advance notice. If you’re looking to be treated like so much more than just a business transaction than you have found the right company. We have never felt pressure or rushed to make any discussion. In fact the exact opposite is how Sherri has always made us feel and always treated us like family.”
Nichole
“My partner and I recently bought our first home and had a excellent experience working with Karen. Karen is very knowledgeable about the Duluth area which was helpful as we were moving from the Twin Cities Metro area. Karen spent time getting to know us and what was important to us and was flexible with scheduling tours. Karen submitted offers in a timely fashion and explained each step in the home buying process as we were first time home buyers. Karen is a highly experienced agent and would definitely recommend her to others.”

“I am giving a shout out to our awesome friend and realtor, Brenda Kay!! She hung in there with us since last December and found the best "coming home" house we could have ever asked for!! She has amazing patience love, and kindness and even brought me to tears with gifts of 2 grills, ( gas for Joe and Charcoal for me), along with accessories, steak, brats, and potatoes on one of the toughest moving days! So Grateful for her support, Love, and constant help!”

“Tiffany is an exceptional real estate, professional deeply aware of local culture, policy and context. She was absolutely critical thinking through the best strategy , in vetting and visiting is properties is well networked with trustworthy and efficient lenders, inspectors, tradespeople and even property. I doubt you will find a more comprehensively skilled, courteous, determined yet patient agent than Tiffany. As an out of town buyer, there are a lot of things that are out of your control, Tiffany really goes above and beyond to fill the many gaps and ease the worries that come with making a big investment in a new place. Our family is grateful for her key role in achieving a dream ! Thank you Tiffany !”

“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! Karen helped me buy that house years ago and it was a bittersweet ending to enlist her extensive help to sell it. If we still lived in Dulith, we would call Karen for every real estate need we had.”

“She's remarkable - her intelligence and passion made our buying experience a delight. We found a phenomenal realtor and made a friend in the process. Her communication skills are terrific, and her patience is limitless. Danielle went out of her way time and again to inform, support, and guide us in making a wonderful purchase.

“I went through 2 other realtors before I found Brenda. There is a HUGE difference between a Realtor that is trying to sell you any property they can and a Realtor that works for her clients to find the best fit for them. Brenda was nothing short of awesome. Always returned my calls, always answered my questions and more importantly found me and my kids a house worth calling home. I highly highly highly recommend working with Brenda.”

“"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 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."”

Review for Karen Pagel Guerndt
“You cannot do better than Danielle Rhodes! She is a dream to work with and made purchasing my first home a smooth and understandable process. Danielle consistently went above and beyond my expectations; she has an impressive breadth of knowledge and a deep familiarity with local real estate, she is unflappably pleasant to work with and is genuinely motivated to help you find the best home for *you*, and she will diligently search the market for available homes that meet your needs. Throughout the entire home buying process, Danielle was my rock and always made me feel like I was her top priority. Without her strategic suggestions during the negotiation process, I doubt I would have landed my first house in today's fast-paced market. Do yourself a favor and work with Danielle Rhodes—you will thank yourself later.”
