Schatz Real Estate Group

The Schatz team is amazing. They helped my husband find his first home years ago and helped us find our new home when we moved. Everyone who we worked with: Mike, Angela, and Ted were great. They know their stuff and have solid experience! They also helped us figure out if we wanted to sell our old home or rent and directed us to resources for more expert advice. I highly recommend the Schatz team, EVERYONE - realtors, the office staff, are decent, kind, professional folks!!!

Having never sold a home before, I had a great experience working with the Schatz Team selling my property. Madde and Levi were knowledgeable and very professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend.

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.

We just closed on our beautiful home. The Schatz team spent nine months helping us find it, all the while being incredibly helpful, compassionate, and patient. The whole team worked to help us find the perfect house, and we are so incredibly lucky to have had them with us and supporting us along a very long, very frustrating trudge through the housing market. Once we found our house, once again the whole team quickly and accurately responded to requests from our lender and title company, quickly got us a great home inspector, and was with us every step of the way until (and after) closing. At no point were any of them pushy, they never tried to talk us into a house we didn't want. In fact, they all made sure that we understood the pros and cons of each house we saw, regardless of location or price. Thank you so much Riley, Levi, Madde, and Cody! You truly are the best!

The Schatz team sold a rental property for us in 2021. The experience was excellent. The house was listed, shown, and sold quickly for a great price with minimal issues. There was always someone available with current information on the status of various parts of the process. They also coordinated well with the tenants occupying the property during the sale. Even with the complications that came with selling a 100+ year old occupied rental property, it was fairly hands off for me due to the Schatz team performance.

Connie and I want to thank the Schatz Reality team for all their help in purchasing our new townhome and also for finding a buyer for our previous home. We appreciated their patience and guidance, their pointing out the pros and cons of each townhome we viewed and their availability with our search. We were so excited that you were able to find a buyer so quickly for our previous home. We thought everything went smoothly during this stressful time. We would recommend Schatz Realty Group to anyone needing a realtor!

We have had two great experiences with the Schatz team and I could not be more impressed with their entire group. In 2015 Mike helped us buy our first home. He was so patient and knowledgeable he took the time to help my wife and I found the ideal first home at a great deal.

Then this year Riley helped us sell this home and find a new one. He had the house sold in under 48 hours and over asking price. Thankfully Mike had done such a good job negotiating the home purchase and giving us advice along the way of home improvements that would drive the home value we made a huge profit.

Thanks so much to the whole Schatz team, I would encourage everyone to work with them!

Fantastic family-run Real Estate company with a true care for those that they work with! They send holiday cards and keep in touch regularly. I first met the Schatz a few years back when I was just beginning to think about the buying process. They regularly checked in with me and let me know that they were there for me whenever I wanted to start the process for real. Tons of my friends have used the Schatz to buy and sell their homes and I wholeheartedly recommend them to all my family and friends!!

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!

The Schatz team is unbelievable. They truly care about all of there clients and have a strong passion for what they do. We work hand in hand with insurance claims/construction repairs with them. And they make sure each client gets the best result possible. You don't see much of ANY realtors doing that or going to the extent the Schatz Team does. Highly, highly recommended. You cannot go wrong.

Ted helped with the purchase of my home this winter. He is the best realtor you could ask for! Super honest and straight forward. I knew very little going in and he taught me so much about the home buying process and about houses in general. After closing Ted continues to be helpful, giving me recommendations, and he even helped me fix my furnace (which saved me hundreds of dollars). Ted is the best! Super thankful for Schatz Real Estate Group.

The Schatz team truly is the dream team! Riley and Tanya were there for us every step of the way, easing our worried minds and making sure we always knew what was going on. We were quite impressed by how knowledgeable they were, and that they were always happy to answer the hundreds of questions we would throw at them. Riley and Tanya worked their tails off to ensure that the process could keep moving forward, despite a couple of snags from others involved. The abundance of honesty, good communication, and kindness were what we needed to get us through the stresses of buying a home, and we truly believe that had we gone to someone else, we would not be sitting in our new home writing this review! Thank you Schatz team for making dreams come true!

Ted with Schatz Real Estate Group recently assisted me and my wife in buying our first home. We both agree that Ted is without a doubt the best realtor in the Twin Cities. Ted went above and beyond time and time again. Here is why we loved working with Ted:

From the moment we sat down with Ted, we had no doubt that his first and foremost priority was ensuring we found the house that was right for us. Before we even talked about budget, wants and needs, location, etc., he educated us about the entire process. When we did start looking at houses, he took us through the entire house and pointed out not only the good things, but the potential bad things as well. We walked out of every house with a thorough understanding of what we were looking at. We now know a lot about home maintenance and how to prevent future problems thanks to Ted.

He’s there to answer questions (very promptly) and help you every step of the way. We were pretty leery about the home buying process because we constantly heard people talking about what a nightmare it was. It seemed like we were in for a pretty daunting task, but Ted made the process easy and enjoyable! In fact, after it was all said and done, we were sad that it was over - because we enjoyed hanging out with Ted!

When we found “the one” and decided to make an offer, Ted was ready for us and wrote the offer for us on a Friday evening - without warning. It ended up being a multiple bid situation and his negotiation experience, hustle and knowledge of the market helped us come out on top.

Simply put, if the need arises we would never use anybody else other than Ted!

If you’re unsure of where you should turn when you’re buying or selling a home, I cannot encourage you strongly enough that The Shatz Real Estate Group should be the first and only contact in your list. You won’t regret it!

When we initially purchased our home we didn’t use Shatz (our realtor then, luckily, was pretty darn good), however the sellers were selling through Shatz and I distinctly remember at that time how comfortable the sellers were with them. There was just this open and easy vibe, as if they had known each other for years. It really impressed on me.

Fast forward a few years, when it came time to relocate out of state, and we needed someone to help us sell our home, that memory of our buying closing prompted me to call the Shatz team. Best decision ever!

Riley was amazing!! Super simple to understand, super easy to talk to, full of knowledge, recommendations and advice... and that was before we were under contract! Riley guided us through everything, detailed and explained everything out and ensured we were all on the same page!

It’s like having a family member help you! They just make you feel like one of them! A perfect experience, an exceptionally sound business model with the absolute best folks!

Choose The Shatz Real Estate Group! You’ll thank them just as gratefully as I am now!

Jacob and the whole Schatz team are awesome! They really listen to what you want and are your teammates along the home buying process. I appreciated that they took the time to explain things to me and point things out that I wouldn’t necessarily notice. I would recommend Jacob and the Schatz team to anyone!!

The Schatz team was so patient with us as we found "the right" house for us! We knew they were a great referral when a friend told us about them, but didn't know how good until they had countless advice for us on "what not to buy" as they were trying to sell us a house. True honesty and unbeatable memories searching for homes with this group!

I've worked with Schatz Real Estate as both a buyer and seller and can honesty say I think they're the best. Although I ended up renting instead of selling the time I had them list a property, it was at the absolute bottom of the market and there were 2 potential buyers for every ten listings. Living 800 miles away from the Twin Cities at the time, Mike Schatz and the team kept me updated through the whole process and listened to my needs. I never felt pressured to do anything and they were very accomodating about maintaining the listing while I tried to find a renter.

A year later, when I was in the process of moving back to the Cities, Mike went out of his way to help me find a property on a very tight schedule (on short notice, we viewed 25+ properties over the course of a couple days).

Schatz Real Estate treats you like a member of the family and their dedication to helping you find the right solution to fit YOUR needs is unparalled.

Mike, Angela and the entire Schatz team are outstanding. They helped us for over a year to find our perfect home. They are the first and only realtor that talked us OUT of houses because they knew what we wanted to and could see it better than us. You won't find better people to take you on your buying (or selling) journey!

Schatz real estate group is the best of the best! They treat each client like a member of the family. They have a great attention to detail, great response time and are very knowledgeable with the real estate market. They are extremely helpful with answering questions and taking care of concerns. Very trustworthy people. Highly recommend their services!

Jacob and company were truly amazing to work with. He worked tirelessly to help me in my whirlwind home search. From beginning to end the experience was thorough, honest, and pleasant. I will be recommending Jacob and the entire Schatz team to everyone I know!
