We’ve sold a lot of homes - and will use our combined knowledge to guide you in your unique real estate journey.

Serving the Duluth area since 1981, Real Estate Services is one of Duluth’s longest established real estate companies. Real Estate Services was originally formed by REALTORS® devoted to excellent customer care and personalized service. 

In 2005, long time real estate broker and REALTOR® Vern Emerson sold to current owner, Karen Pagel Guerndt. Since then, the company has been solely woman-owned and carries on the same legacy of supreme customer care.
