Rick and Nancy Schaefer

Rick and Nancy, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was so impressed by the way you sold my cabin. Your professionalism, persistence and kindness was remarkable. I completely trusted your process. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who wants to sell their home

My wife and I have been searching for many years for our dream lake property.  Very fortunately we were introduced to Rick and Nancy Schaefer. They helped us navigate through a complex purchase that included a bank owned component.  Rick from the moment we met was very professional, straight forward and was a great communicator.  What we admired most was his professionalism and his patience with questions we had about such an important decision.  Rick and Nancy made their time available for various trips to the property and worked with contractors, banks and others needed to get the job done.   They made the real estate process more understandable and the trust that came from their approach and style was a very good fit for us.   We believe Rick and Nancy as our real estate team was nothing short of a blessing to go along with this incredible next chapter of lake place memories for our family.  Anyone anytime is welcome to call me for a detailed referral.   Rick has my information.

This letter is written to recognize and recommend the outstanding service, professionalism, and most importantly, the expertise of Rick and Nancy Schaefer of Walker Area Realty as real estate professionals: As the owner of a unique lake property, I recognize the differences between excellent, average, and mediocre performance. From my experience with Rick and Nancy, they demonstrated excellent customer focus and service, excellent market knowledge, an amazing work ethic, and genuine personal and professional integrity. I highly recommend Rick and Nancy for your consideration as your real estate professional.

My wife and I used Walker Area Realty to manage the recent sale of our Walker Bay townhome.  The service and support provided by Rick and Nancy was nothing short of outstanding.  They put together a strong marketing plan for our home and immediately went to work in facilitating showings of the property.  Their communication with us as owners was professional and very timely.  We particularly liked that Rick and Nancy gave us prior notice of every showing and provided prompt, written feedback from prospective buyers.  We ended up receiving multiple offers on the property and they managed all the details to ensure a timely and smooth closing. Rick and Nancy have deep connections to the Leech Lake area and are real estate professionals in the truest sense.  We highly recommend them for assistance in selling you home.

When I was interested in exploring lake cabins I put out a request online. Rick was the only Realtor that responded. He not only responded but set up an appointment within hours of my first contact with him. Rick’s knowledge of and experience in real estate is tremendous. I ended up purchasing a lake home through Rick and he made the process simple. I would recommend Rick to anyone who is considering purchasing a home. You will be impressed

When Lynn & I decided to buy a cabin in the Walker area, our first step was to contact Rick & Nancy Schaefer to discuss the possibilities. I have known Rick for over 40 years, dating back to some former transaction we did in the St. Cloud market. As such, I was very familiar with Rick’s knowledge & experience in the real estate business. We contacted Rick & Nancy and described our wants & needs regarding a cabin. As good as Rick had been, he has become even better as he has gotten older & more experienced. Together he & Nancy have gained extensive knowledge of the Walker area. They patiently listened to us so they could match us with a property we would love. It took them one week to find the property we would buy. They worked diligently & professionally to negotiate the deal & guide us through the process to closing. We are very grateful to Rick & Nancy for everything they did for us in buying our new lake place quickly, smoothly & efficiently. We definitely made the right choice in selecting the team of Rick & Nancy. Our Thanks to both of them.
