Schatz Real Estate Group

We’re not the kind of people who write gushy reviews. But when it comes to the Schatz Real Estate Group, gush we must! Ted Schatz didn’t just talk the talk about representing our interests. He consistently practiced what other agents only preach. He learned what matters most to us, and he went beyond published listings to help us rule out properties that wouldn’t meet our needs. While Ted never substituted his own preferences, aversions, and priorities for ours, he was always delightfully candid in sharing his impressions and wisdom. When we finally decided to build a home, Ted helped us find and work with the right builder. He not only advocated effectively on our behalf, he offered valuable insights and suggestions that saved us thousands of dollars and got us more of what we wanted and less of what we didn’t. One of the best things about Ted is that he’s kept on keeping on! Although our new home is already under construction, much to our surprise and delight, Ted has stayed involved. At his initiative, he attends planning meetings and reviews, makes periodic onsite visits to the construction site, and seems eager to do whatever he can to make sure that the finished product will satisfy our needs and exceed our expectations. As a businessman, Ted obviously takes the long view. He seems to focus more on the journey than on the destination. Although it took us forever to find what we wanted, Ted never ever made us feel like we were wasting his time. We finished our long journey happy, grateful, and eager to sing Ted’s praises. --Steve & Teresa Levinson

I could not speak more highly of a real estate group than Schatz! I am so thrilled with my buying process and their continued patience with me. Someone was always available to show me a house I was interested in until I found the one. I bought my house almost 8 months ago and they continue to check in and take care of me! I highly recommend and will utilize them for my future selling&buying.

Entire Schatz Team is a pleasure to work with. We primarily worked with Riley Schatz and Jacob Froelich during our house search. They were always available with a positive attitude, and tirelessly showed us houses throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area. This is the second time we are buying a house, and our experience was different than our first time. They were never pushy and never forced us to close a deal, which can be common in this industry. They always gave their best advice, pointed toward potential maintenance issues that we might have not realized, and never rushed us. We are grateful for the great service they provided, and we recommend the Schatz Team strongly.

Mike and Angela Schatz (and their entire team) were great to work with. Our neighbor had used them to sell her home so we set up some time to meet with Mike. We were impressed from the beginning and had a feeling we'd be a good fit. Even though our initial contact was with Mike we ended up working with everyone in the office. If Mike was with another client then Angela would work with us. They always made sure our questions were answered and they made the entire process as painless as possible. We are so happy we went with the Schatz team. They are some of the nicest people we've met and we always felt like we were their number one client. We couldn't recommend them more. Even after the closing they have remained in contact with us just to see how we're doing. If you choose to work with Mike and Angela you won't be disappointed.

The Schatz team is awesome! They were with us every step of the way and then some. They were prompt in returning our calls, text messages and emails. The started us out by connecting us to an awesome and trustworthy lender who went step by step through everything that we needed to do in order to secure the loan. The team was excited for us and walked us through the inspection and what they felt was necessary to fix in order to get the loan approved. They kept us calm whenever we got anxious or just weren't patient enough. Things were able to be done electronically so that we were able to take an 8 day vacation that ended just a day before we closed and we were able to enjoy it because they had everything under control. They followed up with us shortly after the sale and also at the 90 day mark. Extremely caring and wonderful. When you work with them it is best that you are prepared with everything to start with the lender, you heed their advice and you respond quickly because the housing market moves that fast. They truly are an A++ Team, trustworthy, hardworking and are there for you! Bonus at closing they Celebrate! By bringing goodies, a starter kit for your new home and sparkling fruit juice with glasses for congratulations.

Always responsive service and trustworthy opinions helped buying my first home as seamless as possible. Very knowledgeable full spectrum of housing market and current marketplace conditions

Great

Mike, Angela and team are AMAZING!! They have assisted my husband and me in the purchase of 1 house, the sale of 2 different houses and when we are ready the sale of a 4th house and who knows what will come after that. They are a down to earth, hardworking team and we have greatly enjoyed the relationship built. They are personable and so knowledgeable in what they do. They are in this business for the long haul and respect what you, as the consumer, are looking for. We won't use anyone else.

The Schatz Team is on your side, whether you are buying or selling, they want you to have a positive realty experience. They celebrated our closing and have stayed in touch with us long after we moved in to our new home. Ive texted Mike who to call to fix my washing machine, and he gave me the number of a local repairman who was super nice and reasonably priced. We were referred by family, and continue to refer our family, friends, and coworkers.

Schatz helped us find our dream home. We happened to be looking in an area with low turnover in a low-inventory market. We looked at over 80 houses with Schatz group over a timespan of nearly a year before we found the one that we finally purchased. During that time the team was wonderful. Mike, Angela and crew are extremely knowledgable and friendly. They made us feel like family. They also bring to bear incredible expertise during showings, negotiations, and every other part of the home-buying process. The experience of walking through a house with them is great: they can spot potential issues (and upsides) that we never would have seen on our own.

We can't say enough wonderful things about this group! Each person on the Schatz team provided outstanding service. We had many concerns and questions related to being out of state when the house went on the market and was sold. They were there for each step with encouragement, support and communication. I think the ultimate story-book ending to our experience with them has to be on the afternoon before the closing, when the buyer walked through and decided she wanted the lawn mowed prior to the closing the next day. While we had adult children living in the Mpls area, none of them were available to drop everything and get to the house to mow the lawn for us. While we were frantically thinking of who we could get to do the job on such short notice, Ted Schatz saved the day for us. He raced over to Richfield between appointments and mowed the lawn for us before nightfall! We couldn't believe our ears when he said it was done! We have never known a team of realtors and support staff as remarkable as the Schatz team. We will be life-long fans and proponents of them and will recommend them to anyone that is buying or selling a home. Top notch group!

We worked off and on with the Schatz team over the course of 12 years. The great majority of that time, we were just poking around the housing market just to see what was out there. Throughout all those years, the Schatz Team never pushed us or became frustrated with us. Rather, they stayed in touch with periodic emails, mailings and an occasional "how ya doing" phone calls. The NEVER pushed us into anything. They were truly on OUR side and looking out for our best interest...not just trying to make a sale. When a job change came about and we needed to make a move out of the area, there was no hesitation about having the Schatz's help us with the sale of our home. We had complete confidence and faith in them that they were going to partner with us and do the absolute best to sell our house in a short period of time and at a good price....and it happened. We were comfortable with the Schatz Team from the moment we met, and that confidence only became stronger as the years went on. I would recommend no other real estate company above the Schatz Real Estate Group!

The house sold and I got close to what I was initially asking. I am now using Schatz Realty in search of a new home representing me as the buyer.

In matters relating to the purchase or sale of a house, I will never look to anyone other than Mike and his team. They sincerely care about the customer's interest and work hard to get the deal that you feel comfortable with. I purchased a town home through them and they thoroughly helped me with all the details, given that this was a first time experience for me. One of the team members provided critical insights on the faults in the home, all of which were quite invisible to me. The biggest help was with deciding the price to offer. Mike and his team know the market and their jobs so well that they helped me close the deal without paying a lot of excess money. I cannot say enough about how much genuinely they care for the customer. Even though they are sales agents by profession, I did not feel a bit of pressure in them asking me to accept a property that I did not like. I have recommended them to several other friends and who in turn have told me that they were very happy with the service.

Wonderful team to work with! The team is a group of very honest people and I had a positive experience working with them. If I wasn't so in love with my house I would call them up for more business.

Schatz real estate takes care of you from day one, whether you are using their expertise to purchase a new home or sell your existing. We have used them for both, and their commitment to their clients is outstanding! They are responsive and helpful through the process with showings, photo taking, listing, advice and knowledge. We felt like with their help, we were making informed decisions and they always have someone they can call no matter who it is you need....painter, roofer, electrician, etc to help with any situation, Their entire team is prepared to help you every step of the way. I would never do anything in real estate without the help of the Schatz team in the future. Their service, experience, and trustworthiness is second to none, and they make you feel valued as their client. Mike, Angela, and the team truly treat you like family, and their experience in the real estate market is invaluable,

Mike & Angela Schatz are outstanding realtors. They are patient, thoughtful, honest, thorough and fair in their business and treat each aspect of the process as though it were their own. We spent a couple of years thinking about this last move into our "dream home" this past June. During that time, we toured dozens of homes with them or members of our team and never once felt any pressure to do anything other than find the perfect home for us. They are experienced professionals who are able to point out subtle details about the home you may be considering to ensure that you are giving every aspect careful consideration. They notice the "little things" - good and bad - about a prospective property so you can move forward with a reduced fear of surprises. If you are a person who just wants your realtor to tell you everything is perfect about a property, this is the wrong firm! If you want a team who will make sure you get the best possible home at the best possible price, hire this team. It is also worth saying that they truly value and respect their clients like friends of the family. They host appreciation events (picnics, bowling) for their clients and take joy in knowing their clients for the long haul. You may not get the glitz and glamour of the big firms, but you will definitely get the care and appreciation. I'll take that any day.

Had a lot of hearth ache. 30 homes viewed, 12 offers, 11 rejections. But in the end we found the perfect starter home for me, and I couldn't be happier.

The Schatz Team was amazing! Being first time home buyers we had no idea where to start. Mike and his team were with us every step of the way and continued to help us after our closing. The team was so helpful and knowledgeable. They were always available to respond to questions and promptly schedule times for us to see every house on our list! You can tell that they are passionate about finding the right house for each customer. I would recommended them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. They made purchasing our first home fun and stress free!

It went well. The house sold in weeks and closed the sale promptly when title work was completed. Schatz Real Estate was totally helpful and professional.

They are excellent. They do a superb job.

Our experience (mine and my Wife's) with the Schatz Team was very positive. They (there are 4 there - Angela, Mike, Ted, and Katie) are all very professional, genuine folks, and 100% service-oriented with stamina possessed by few. One of the Team is available at any time, and he/she will do everything in their power to get you a showing, answer your questions, and move your deal to the next step. If you're buying or selling a home, these folks are well worth checking out!

Excellent! The schatz group does an awesome job. We have used their services personally quite a few times & each time. Never felt like our business is very important to them.

It went very well. They continued great service following a transaction.

I am a braggingly happy customer of the Schatz Team. They were with me every step of the marathon that was buying my first home. I took several months to find the right home and all four members of the team helped me through the process. Someone from the group was always available to assist me and answer my "rookie" questions and made sure I was comfortable and understood the answers. Their reliability is outstanding. If you are looking for a trustworthy and pragmatic real estate agent...this is your team. While walking through prospective homes, they would point out items that escaped my eyes. Towards the end, the team knew my likes and dislikes so well, I would have trusted them to pick a home for me. It's all about finding the right home, and this is the group I would recommend to any of my family and friends.
