Scates Real Estate

I had an outstanding experience working with Raleigh and cant recommend her highly enough. She knows the west metro (Minnetonka/Wayzata area) incredibly well and consistently brought me opportunities I wouldnt have found as quickly or at all on my own aEUR" including off-market homes, which was really impressive. Beyond her market knowledge, she was extremely thoughtful and supportive throughout the process. I was navigating a home purchase during a divorce, and she handled everything with empathy, discretion, and a clear understanding of what mattered most aEUR" especially making sure my kids felt considered and included. At one point, after our offer was accepted and inspections were complete, I realized I hadnt had a proper second walkthrough because I was out of town. She went out of her way to coordinate another showing so my kids could see the home before closing. That meant a lot to me and really reflects how much she cares about her clients beyond just the transaction. She was always available, highly responsive, and incredibly helpful during negotiations. In fact, her insight and guidance during that phase likely made the difference in me securing the home. If youre looking for someone who combines deep local expertise with genuine care and professionalism, I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Raleigh.

Raleigh was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and always available to take my calls. She is very personable and a pleasure to deal with. Raleighs expertise served as a game-changer for my search for a condo in such a well sought out neighborhood. It was due to her responsiveness that I was able to secure the condo of my dreams. Her strategic negotiation skills served as an absolute plus in getting me the price that I needed and making this possible. With Raleigh, I knew I truly had ann advocate in my corner.

We did not knowRaleigh until we met to view a home we saw on Zillow. What a great surprise. We will be froends for life. Just a great agent. We know many agents. Raleigh is a cut above. We first viewed the home with Raleigh who let us know the seller had accepted a contingent offer. But she insisted we look anyway. Just in case. She stayed on top of the situation with the sellers agent gathering as much insight as possible. Suddenly the home was headed back to the market. She made sure to let the other agent know of our potential buyers interest until we could get back to town and see it again. Raleigh wanted us to be sure we wanted to take on the big property. Meeting our needs was her top priority. In the end the seller met us buyers and the rest is history. Ralieighs insights and professional persistence were key to us putting a deal together that satisfied both parties.

Raleigh is excellent to work with! She helped me find a great house after allot of searching. She responded quickly, was enthusiastic, and was able to share what she didn't like or what appeared concerning about each home we looked at. She was not pushy and was able to explain anything I had questions about. I would highly recommend this realtor!
