Success Stories

“There are not enough superlatives in the dictionary/thesaurus to describe the knowledge, service, kindness ane expertise that Danielle provides. Moving to Duluth from the South is a bit intimidating, but Danielle smoothed the path in an incredible way. She does not see her clients as transactions; she sees you as an individual/family making a monumental life decision. Although I found a property online before traveling to Duluth, she made sure to show me everything available in my price range while I was there so that I could make the most informed decision. She has a tremendous depth of knowledge about Duluth, its history and its housing stock. If "Minnesota nice" ever needs a poster woman, it should be Danielle. Working with her will change your life in the very best way.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I have bought and sold five homes, but have never met such a competent realtor as Danielle Rhodes. Danielle handled our purchase of a Duluth Home with a lot of hard work, finding the perfect fit for us.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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. She made us feel valued and listened carefully to our needs and concerns. Her joie de vivre is infectious.”

“"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."”

“I have bought and sold five homes, but have never met such a competent realtor as Danielle Rhodes. Danielle handled our purchase of a Duluth Home with a lot of hard work, finding the perfect fit for us. Danielle is driven by a profound commitment to this community, and her work on behalf of her clients. She demonstrates that through her relentless energy; her knowledge not only of Duluth history, but also it's contemporary coming and goings. Ms. Rhodes is a consummate professional with the highest ethics, and a veritable encyclopedia of all things real estate. Though I have some experience in these matters, she was able to gently guide me with better information throughout this process. My partner and I highly endorse obtaining Miss Rhodes services for any matter involving real estate. Once you begin working in this market, you will hear the same from many other local real estate professionals. You won't go wrong with Danielle Rhodes.”
