"The REC team brought decades of realty experience and connections, but perhaps more importantly, deep sensitivity toward our particular family situation. They empowered us with honest information; recommended sales strategies that aligned with our timeline; communicated responsively and patiently with our entire family; and went the extra mile shouldering tasks I wouldn't normally associate with a Realtor. Further: REC stands apart from other brokerages due to their commitment to housing justice."

"Thank you for helping my brother and I sell our 100-year family home. We didn't really know what we were looking for in a Realtor. When we found Meghan and the REC Team, we were sure you were the ones! Thanks again for your great work."

—Jack K.

"We loved working with REC and their amazing team. We felt well taken care of in both our search for a home as well as selling ours. Tara was amazing to work with, making the process fun, and instantly feeling like we made a new friend. They don't stop after the process is done! They continued to check in to ensure our move went smoothly, and that we were settling into our new home."

—Jason and Liz

"The transparency of the pricing structure at REC was so helpful. We knew exactly what our payment was and this made it easier to craft our bids. REC represented us as buyers, and we were able to use our payment to REC as part of our negotiations."

—Ginger and Grant

"A word like "testimonial" is a lot of pressure when you've bought an actual church. But, in the most secular way possible, Paige and REC are the best! It's a rare experience to wade through a complicated process and have 100% faith that you are receiving accurate, timely, and insightful guidance. Can't recommend enough."

—Sarah H.

Our mission

"We all do better when we all do better."

This quote of Minnesota’s beloved statesman, Paul Wellstone, is fundamental to the work we do at The Real Estate Collaborative (REC). It guides us in business, in our personal lives, and when we are in community working with our non-profit partners.

Our mission is to connect all three–our clients, our agents, and our community. Together we can make the Twin Cities a better community for everyone, regardless of income, class, or race. We must do better.

REC was born out of two passions: helping individuals and families sell/purchase homes to build a better future for themselves and their communities and working towards a future where all have access to stable, sustainable, and affordable housing.
