Ray is a wonderful realtor! We sold our lake home quickly with Ray’s professional knowledge and experience of Pelican Lake and the area. Ray prepared and presented our listing in a way that highlighted our property’s many features. His resource of interested potential buyers led to multiple,serious,and qualified offers. This resulted in a smooth sale process from start to finish and our pleasure in passing the cabin we loved to the next great family. Faye Beth P.

We had a nice time working with Ray. Ray was very helpful, and readily answered questions throughout the entire process of purchasing a home. We especially appreciated that Ray was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process and was easy to get ahold of whenever we needed to speak with him. Tom G.

Ray did a great job helping us buy our cabin in Orr, MN. He kept us up to date on listings for over 3 years until we finally found our home away from home. We cannot thank him and his team enough and would recommend them to any and everyone. Thanks Ray! Carol B.

Ray helped us navigate the purchase of our cabin. He knows the area very well and was able to help get us in touch with the right companies for jobs that needed to be done. He negotiated for both the seller and buyer and did a good job of making us both happy. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place in the north woods. Tirzah P

Ray provided me with first class service every step of the way regarding my purchasing of my new residence in the Orr, MN area. I came all the way from Las Vegas, NV to look at this property and had lots of questions before I made my first inspection. Ray answered each and every question and was most helpful in helping me navigate the Minnesota Real Estate Laws of which I knew absolutely nothing about. He sent me pages and pages of pdf documents in response to all my questions, and always made himself available to all my telephone calls, emails and text messages. I do believe the longest I ever waited for a return reply from Ray was not more than a couple of hours. I highly recommend Ray for all your Real Estate Needs in this part of Minnesota, he is not only at the top of my list, but also is the only Real Estate Agent I would contact. Keith W

Ray helped us relocate to the beautiful state of Minnesota. He was gracious with his time and showed me the local area when I visited in January. He was upfront and honest, complete transparency, when he showed perspective properties. He often played devils advocate to make sure we were making the right decision, we were moving from the metro Seattle area to rural Minnesota after all. He really wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting ourselves into. In negotiations he did what we asked and was able to time the purchase of the Minnesota property with the sale of our Washington property. We are grateful we had such a helpful knowledgeable agent. I highly recommend Ray, he really takes care of his clients. Ann W

Ray kept us informed throughout the whole process from the listing until the closing. If we ever had a question he was very quick to respond and helpful throughout the whole process. I would recommend Ray to all my family and friends. W. Long

Ray was great to work with when my wife and I purchased a cabin earlier in the year. From our first correspondence to the closing day we were never left wondering about anything. No questions no surprises! I would recommend him favorably going forward. D.M.D.

Ray was always available to answer our questions no matter when we contacted him. It was convenient that we were able to call, email, and process things through web sites because we lived a significant distance from the property that we purchased. He was very helpful though out the whole process. Leah R.

Ray went above and beyond to help us purchase a piece of property. There were some hurdles he dealt with for us that I’m sure took a lot of his time. This was our first experience with a realtor and it couldn’t have been any better. We would recommend him to anyone. Car-Mel

I would highly recommend Ray to anyone in the buying or selling market in northern Minnesota!! J Fanucci

Ray was a gem to work with. He’s very easy to talk to and has a ton of knowledge about the area. He patiently helped us on many issues that came up. He also distracted my kids well during the closing. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell in the north woods area! V Burdine
