"So thankful to have met such a professional and reliable realtor like Scout. After finding out my desires in a new place, he sent all the listings that checked off my needs. Scout always got back to me when I had questions about the many homes, and if he didn't know the answer right away, he researched it. I felt like he had my best interests from start to finish. I highly recommend Scout Eveleth for all your real estate needs!"

I highly recommend him as an agent and as a responsible, respectable person! Thank you again Scout for all you did for us in our relocation!"

He is very knowledgeable about the local market — giving us suggestions about pricing, staging, and updates to the house to get it sold.
