Real Estate in Excelsior

“Working with Doug was a real pleasure and was also very educational to us for understanding how the real estate process works in Minnesota.

Doug worked hard to show how real estate transactions could be handled with an attorney acting as the buyer agent representing us independently of the seller agent and the real estate brokerage firm they represent. As an attorney, Doug had fiduciary responsibility in representing us - and only us. HIs extensive background having started in real estate as a licensed realtor, then running his own title company for years and now running AttorneyRE gave him a depth of experience and understanding of the process that was amazing. We could not have asked for better representation and guidance.

The approach Doug has taken is a real potential game-changer for providing home buyers a level of representation and quality of service that is unlikely to be found elsewhere.

With rapidly inflating home costs, real estate agents at large are receiving bloated commissions for doing substantially automated work using processes that are extensively managed and controlled by the real estate industry. A house that now costs 2X what it did 5 years ago does not take 2X the work to sell - but the industry is more than happy to keep using the existing model as long as the general public believes this is how it is supposed to work.

Doug is showing that there is a better way and we are very glad we were able to hire him to be our buyer agent. The fact that we were able to hire an attorney to be our buyer agent with the background and experience that Doug brings and do it at a buyer fee substantially lower than what is typical in the industry shows just how badly out of balance the current real estate industry is.

We would hire Doug again for any other real estate work we might do and we highly recommend Doug and his services to any other considering this approach.“
