My wife and I were fortunate enough to have found this location to stay while supporting our adult daughter on a necessary medical visit to Mayo Clinic. It was perfect for our needs and spotlessly clean. Our host was wonderful. She met us at the house to give us the house tour and to make sure everything we needed was available to us. She gave us recommendations as to places to eat and shop. The house was very spacious with two living areas lending privacy when we wanted as well as gathering space when we were together. We could enjoy reading in one part of the house while others watched TV. The neighborhood was very walkable and safe as well as a convenient drive to Mayo facilities. We will definitely make this house our home away from home should we need to return.

Choosing Emily to be my realtor when looking for a house in the Rochester area was the best decision I could have made. She had all of the great qualities you would expect from a realtor, but what made the biggest difference for me was her connections to other great people in the industry. She gave me great recommendations for comparing and choosing financing, inspections, maintenance, and services in Rochester. When I found the right place, her offer recommendations were the difference in winning our bid. I couldn’t be more grateful for Emily helping me end up in my perfect home.

We purchased a condo in our building for an older relative who lives out of state.After we bought it she decided that she did not want to move. We did not know how to precede. Emily was recommended to us by someone who had used her services before. Emily helped us set up a plan of what needed to be done to the unit before putting it on the market , how to accomplish those tasks in a timely fashion and how to show the unit’s best attributes with the addition of her soft staging. When we had a difficult time finding insurance for the unoccupied unit she recommended someone who turned out to have exactly what we needed. The unit sold to the first person who viewed it! Emily guided us through the contract offer and counter offer negotiations.
She made the process of selling the condo, something that we were dreading, a smooth and easy transition.
We would highly recommend Emily Doherty for your next real estate purchase or sale. She is efficient, knowledgeable, reliable and professional.

Emily exceeded my expectations ! She continued to encourage me in this limited housing market and was able to get the job done with the absolute perfect house for my families needs! Emily also has a gift of compassion which makes her very unique in her industry. Thank you Emily for listening and hearing me!! Your positivity helped me get through a stressful time and I am so ever grateful for that.
Kelly Peterson
Emily helped when we had an unexpected loss in the family. She was kind, understanding, professional and helped us navigate the process of selling our brother's home. She kept things on track and achieved a good outcome. Highly recommend her!

Emily has been an absolute dream to work with! Emily helped us find our first home and was the absolute best. And when we were ready for a new adventure she helped us once again and helped us sell our home. We have worked with her as the buyers and the sellers and are 100% happy with our decision. I can’t imagine anyone else would work as hard as she did to help us along these journeys. Thank you Emily!! Anyone would be blessed to have you as their Realtor.

I had the pleasure of working with Emily during the sale of my condo, which also involved a probate situation, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the help and support I received. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly patient. Emily guided me through every step of the process, making sure I understood all the legal and real estate details.
What really stood out was how responsive and dependable she was, always available to answer questions and offer solid advice. Selling a property while handling probate can be overwhelming, but Emily made it feel manageable and even smooth.
If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to get things done right, I highly recommend Emily.

Emily is incredible in every way! Given the current housing market, especially in Rochester, FHA loans getting selected as offers is very slim, and yet, with Emily's expertise, that's exactly what happened! She was always up to showings with me with lots of flexibility on timing. Additional bonus, her husband is a contractor, so having that extra set of eyes on occasion was great. Both of them even assisted me in getting the FHA appraisal to pass (there was some additional exterior paint work to be done). I made the absolute best choice working with Emily!
Katie Lovell
We recently moved to the Rochester area from out of state, and I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! She was knowledgeable about the competitive post-match housing market and was always willing to be flexible to adjust to our busy schedules. Emily scheduled several virtual tours for us, which were instrumental in helping us make an informed decision. As a Rochester native, she was also an invaluable resource, offering insights about different neighborhoods that helped us feel more confident throughout the process.
Emily went above and beyond during our virtual tours, providing detailed videos of both the homes and surrounding areas. She always provided candid, thoughtful commentary that we really valued. When we found a home we loved, she helped coordinate and gather quotes for any necessary repairs, which made the process much less stressful for us.
I would highly recommend Emily to anyone, especially incoming residents relocating to Rochester! Not only is Emily an excellent realtor, she’s also a great person with many connections throughout the community.

My family and I were trying to make a better life for ourselves and we needed to move to another city. The housing market is extremely complicated for sellers at the moment and my wife and I were uncertain who we could trust to give us reliable information. I reached out to a realtor friend in Wisconsin who recommended Emily Doherty. We are so fortunate to have made this connection.
The process of selling our home wasn’t easy but Emily rose to the challange. The market was not promising for sellers but she did her homework. The needs of our family were complicated because of two new children but she was compassionate and scheduled showings with precision.
In a buyers market we sold the home for considerably more than we bought it for and in the meantime we made a friend through trusting Emily with the sale of our home. We look forward to working with her again when we jump back into the market. Thank you for everything, Emily. You helped us turn our lives around.

I really can’t say enough good things about Emily. This was our first home sale, and to say we were unfamiliar with the process is an understatement. Emily explained everything in thorough detail and always made herself available for our questions, even outside of business hours, and was so knowledgeable about the process that I knew we were in good hands from the very beginning. Selling a home is a huge personal and financial decision, but it didn’t feel stressful because I knew we had professional and caring support every step of the way. Thank you, Emily! Your hard work and dedication are so appreciated and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Emily really works well with you. She goes out of her ways to make sure scheduling, events, and processes runs smoothly. I had no problem with her at all. I will be looking to working with her again in the future. Thanks Emily!
Ashley Lind
Emily deserves more than 5 stars, she was so great to work with! Emily educated us on every step of the process, and was always there for us. She is so knowledgeable and a great resource to have, and she certainly goes above and beyond time and time again in her position. We recommend Emily in the highest regard!
JG Jur
Emily is beyond exceptional and has been amazing to work with!! She is genuine, down to earth, very organized, smart and efficient.

We wish you Emily the very best in your future!! and will continue to be in touch with you through pictures of our new adventures….. thank you for your kindness!!
Christina Besse
Emily was simply the best! She easily identified areas that could use small upgrades and she offered great ideas. She answered every question we had and communicated with us efficiently. She went above and beyond our expectations on everything! She helped us price it right and it sold the same day it went on the market and for above asking price! Emily is with you every step of the way and will take great care of you!

We moved to Rochester from out of state and Emily made our move and home search much easier. She went out of her way to record video tours of the homes we were interested in. Her video walkthroughs and commentary gave us a great idea and perspective so we could make a more concise list of potential homes. When we visited for a weekend she was very organized and helped us decide on a house we loved. She helped us every step of the way, especially in guiding us on factors we were not knowledgeable on coming from a different region. Even after we purchased our home she has been a great resource for us as she knows the area extremely well. We will be using her for our next home transaction and cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a realtor.

Emily was fantastic! We were selling our mom’s townhouse, it sold in a matter of hours. That in itself was amazing, but the truly incredible above and beyond that happened after that, shows Emily is there for you every step of the way! Our mom ended up having a medical emergency. We got in touch with Emily the next morning, which was a Saturday. She was immediately on the phone figuring out next steps. We jumped that hurdle to come to the next one a few days later. We again called Emily and she showed us once again how much she cares and does whatever she can to help you. Our mom ended up passing away before closing, but if it weren’t for all of the extra work, phone calls and running everywhere that Emily did, we wouldn’t have had our closing only 5 days after the original date. We can’t thank you enough Emily for going way above expectations and being there for all of the unexpected events!
Choosing Emily as our realtor was one of the best decisions we made! She truly cares and it really shows!

Emily did a fantastic job and thanks to her I was able to buy my childhood home+ Couldn't be more great full for having her on my side.
Patti Bieber
I loved working with Emily. It felt like she was a close friend. She was so personable. She was helping me before we even signed her as our realtor. Her marketing plan was spot on and made sure our home was in the best position to sell quickly. I appreciated her input and she also listened to us. She responded to our questions in a very timely manner. I would recommend Emily very highly!!!

Emily made the home buying process so smooth. She's so fun to work with and is all about making sure I found what made me most happy I never felt pushed or misdirected. She understood exactly what I was looking for and didn't stop looking for me even when I got discouraged. Trust me I know a bad realtor and Emily is not it. She is amazing!! Choose her
Deaneen Gaalswyk
I picked Emily at random approximately a year ago. I’m so glad I did! She basically held my hand through this entire process since I’ve never done this on my own before. I had some complicated issues and Emily helped me navigate through them. She listened to my frustrations, she explained all the legal “mumbo jumbo” to me so I could understand. Fast forward to a few days ago and everything I went through, I’m truly happy with the choices I’ve made and so fortunate that Emily was with me the entire time. I love my new home! Thank you Emily!!
Alese Kester
We absolutely loved working with Emily! She went above and beyond to answer our questions and help us find an amazing home. When we couldn’t be in town to view the homes ourselves she made very through videos for us to see and always listed pros and cons. When we had decided on our home she helped us get connected in the area with trustworthy contractors! I mean, wow. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.
R Bleimeyer
We worked with Emily to sell our mid century modern home with great success. Emily is an amazing realtor and the best that we have ever worked with. The home needed some special attention to bring it back to an impressive marketable state. It was also quite unique. Emily clearly relished the challenge and marshaled a wide array of resources to remodel the home interior from top to bottom while keeping the vibe of its roots. She is so knowledgeable about the area market while being highly ethical and compassionate. We felt like she was treating us like family as we progressed through the project and a successful sale. Our lives were changed for the better from her efforts and expertise. We plan to work with her again should the need arise. You could not be in better hands in working with Emily.

Emily was incredible helping us find our first home! We loved the enthusiasm she brought when we worked on looking for a house and is very knowledgeable and always got back to us fast with any questions we had. Looking for our first home never felt stressful as Emily brought a very positive attitude to our home buying experience. Not only did we buy a home but we gained a friend as well. If you are in search of a home, especially if you're a first time homebuyer, do not hesitate contacting Emily!
Jade Halvorson
Working with Emily to find a new home was a very pleasant experience. Never owning a home before I didn't know what issues to look for in homes but Emily knew her stuff and pointed out things I wouldn't have even thought of. Like the importance of gutters and water drainage for one. During the whole time she put no pressure and always available for questions. If one was buying a house, I would absolutely recommend her as an agent.

Emily is a very warm and welcoming Realator who gives you her full attention and support throughout the buying/ selling process! My husband and I loved working with Emily and would highly recommend her to anyone! From the first step of the journey to the very end, Emily took time to listen to our needs and followed through on questions and inquiries swiftly. Her professionalism and her knowledge sharing were outstanding!
Ryan Smyrk
Emily was the perfect choice for my first experience selling a house. She was so helpful answering all my questions and always responded quickly. Moving was stressful, but I was so grateful I had her to help make selling my house the easiest part of the process. I will definitely ask her to help me again in the future and recommend her to everyone I know. Thanks Emily!

Emily helped tremendously, throughout the whole entire process. She even went out of her way to go look at the house for a second time, just for me to get measurements! Will recommend to anyone I know who’s in the market. Thanks!

Emily Doherty has been the best ever realtor agent i worked with. She will do the reseach of the property and give you the best posible sale price accdg to the market value. She got my house sold in less than 2 months! I highly recommended her if you're looking an agent. Thank you Emily!
Lezlie Francis
We initially contacted a realtor based on recommendation. The initial realtor would not return our calls nor help search for possible properties. We were fortunate to have happened upon Emily when contacting her for a home she was the selling agent. We could not have had a better buying agent to help us through the buying process. Emily was with us every step of the way; as well as continuing contact after closing. Although she was our purchasing agent, Emily stepped when asked when it was desperately needed with the sale of our home. With delay after delay from the selling agent of our home, Emily stepped in and had everything finalized for us quickly in order to proceed with our purchase. She is very personable and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I have recommended Emily to several people. Anyone fortunate enough to work with Emily will be truly blessed

Emily was an absolute pleasure to work with and was very nice and helpful and patient with the house buying process for a first time homebuyer like myself that knows nothing about buying a house. She definitely does honest and great thing’s and make’s herself available for questions later on in the day for us folks that work the evening shift and is happy to even be available on the weekends which is nice. She made my experience a great one and never gave up or quit when something came up and is definitely someone I’m glad to have as my real estate agent and look forward to hopefully working together in the future for more real estate investing. 👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you are looking for a real estate agent than look no further.
Josh Daniels
Emily is THE BEST! She made the homebuying journey in this hectic market more than bearable. She was always patient with us and never made us feel rushed to make a decision on anything. In one week, she met us at the same house 3 times, and went on her own for a fourth, because we just couldn't decide if we wanted to make an offer. I am a man of many questions and Emily made sure to answer every single one of them, even if it meant tracking down old land records or finding old insurance claims to see what company did the repairs on a house years in the past. She did the work and got me my answers. I've never had a real estate agent put that much effort into serving their clients.
All around excellent experience and outstanding service. Wouldn't recommend anyone else to friends and family!
Morgan Laine
We decided we needed a change to a full-time RV lifestyle to travel the country and Emily stepped up! She was there night and day (sorry about that), but was timely, understanding, knowledgeable and very very helpful! She got our house sold in 6 days and we have no complaints. She made everything seamless! Thank you!!!!
Sidney Earl
I cannot thank Emily D enough for her stellar realty services. In the beginning of our home-buying adventure I was so stressed, so scared, so nervous about everything because owning a home has always been my dream. Luckily at the start we knew a realtor, and sent her a text. She called me immediately and put all my fears and worries to rest. She is so transparent, patient and unbelievably helpful, I knew right away we were in good hands. She has been amazing every step of the way, from going over the complexities of home purchase, to seeing things we would have missed in our inexperience. Never once did we feel like we didn’t know what was going on. She’s a force to be reckoned with, an absolute shooting star of a person. Emily, you are the BEST AROUND. I cannot recommend you enough to everyone I know. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us, we cannot thank you enough for all of your guidance. If you’re in MN or WI you have found your realtor!

Emily Doherty is the absolute best! We were relocating from Illinois and Emily went above and beyond for us. She attended countless homes for us when we were unable to view them in person. She understood our needs and was always available to answer any questions. The current housing market is very competitive and Emily gave us terrific advice and helpful strategies to make our bid successful. She worked closely with our lender and eliminated any obstacles in our way. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Emily.
Rachel Davis
Emily was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire home buying process for my husband and me. We are from out of state and she was incredibly flexible with our schedule when we had to fly in to go see houses. She also continuously has gone above and beyond even after closing on the house to help with our transition to the area and move. We could not recommend her enough!
beau leitzen
Emily was very organized, motivated, and easy to work with. She gave some great insights on what things I should do or not do to help the sale of my home. My house sold fast for more than my asking price.

I normally do not give a review of an agent from another company that is on the other side of a transaction that I’m working on, but in this case I will make an exception. I just completed a very difficult transaction that had numerous twists and turns that could have resulted in failure for all parties involved. My seller told me, that without me this sale would have fallen apart. I replied that without Emily working the other side of this transaction it would also have failed to get to closing. Thanks Emily for all your work on this one. Chuck Omvig. ReMax Total Realty

We were kept informed and current on every step of our house sale and house purchase. Emily Doherty was so wonderful to work with! She answered all our questions quickly and would explain things if we didn't understand. She was always pleasant and patient, never seemed bothered by our questions. She was a joy to work with!

Emily did a great job selling my mom's house. She was very patient answering all of our questions and made the process go very smoothly.

Emily is absolutely wonderful and was so easy to work with. She was always willing to meet us at different properties at all hours of the day and went above and beyond for us many times over. We enjoyed the process, learned a lot from Emily along the way and are so happy we found the perfect home for my husband’s daycare!

Emily was an absolute perfect match for our family. She helped us every step of the way as first time homebuyers. Every time we had a question, she was timely, responsive, patient and dedicated to helping us find our dream home. Could not have asked for more!!
Tony Hefty
Emily was great to work with in selling my house, she assured me it would sell from the start and made all of the arrangements to get things moving to the final closing day. I would recommend her 100% and will be calling her when it comes time to buy a new house.
Marti Abts
4 weeks ago we decided to invest in a small condo for our adult daughter. We closed on the perfect space a week ago—- completely due to Emily Doherty. We met Emily because she was showing the first condo we were interested in. She walked us through the space while observing what we liked& didn’t like, asking excellent questions, getting to know us without being even remotely invasive. We mentioned a condo that we thought was out of our range, she suggested it wouldn’t hurt to look and within 30 min. we were on our way. It was clear this was the right place for our needs and from then on Emily’s professional advice and knowledge, her quick research on our concerns and questions, her ability to go to the source for answers ( the Condo’s HOA, building supervisor, etc) had us ready to make an offer.
And here her professionalism really came through. She helped us structure our bid so that we offered at a considerably lower price, she sold it to the owners representative and it was accepted within 24 hours.
My husband and I have no doubts that it was Emily who made this happen so quickly and smoothly. She is extremely good at this work; her combination of initiative, people skills and professionalism cannot be over-valued. And we are very satisfied customers. 👍🏻
