Emery was absolutely fantastic to work with when searching for our first home. He made sure to put our needs first and never pushed us to make a decision. He had a lot of great advice when going through each visit and showing us what to look for in a long-term home. He was always available and made the whole process from start to finish very easy to work with. My wife and I highly recommend Emery to any first-time home buyer.
I am not sure if there is any other real estate service company I enjoy working with more than Necklen & Oakland. Great people, friendly, personable, knowledgeable and always spot on with their tasks and keeping me well informed as we progress through the closing process. You are not just another number when it comes to working with them and to boot they are the best business!
I've known Joel Oakland since 2002 and Glenn Necklen since 2004. Growing with these two men over the years, watching the professional and ethical way they approached their business helped me as an agent be the best I could be. I highly recommend Necklen & Oakland Realty to all agents who are seeking a change from their current brokerage.
I worked with Joel Oakland to purchase my brand new townhouse. Joel is a great realtor I would highly recommend even to my Mom ;). He is experienced, super knowledgeable of the market/property values, patient, not pushy, always calm and he listens! Joel is not pushy as he wants his clients to feel comfortable, heard and completely comfortable with their purchase. It took me on and off 5 years to finally buy, due to unplanned life events. Yet Joel, was there when I needed him and gave me room when I had to pause over that time frame. He is the best of the best! I am thrilled with my new home and the amazing deal he got for me!
extremely responsive, attentive, organized....a pleasure to work with!
Cindy Thrun did an exceptional job for us under what turned out to be very difficult circumstances. The sellers left for Africa for five weeks immediately after signing the sales agreement and couldn't be reached during that time to sign important amendments to the agreement. Then, after returning, they were unresponsive to our requests to negotiate a different closing date. Finally, the inspection failed to pick up a dangerous condition in the furnace and it's replacement had to be negotiated with the seller. Through it all, Cindy was very professional and made sure that our interests were protected. She is a Saint!

I have used Wendy Betzold for the purchase and selling my past two homes. She is also very trustworthy. Wendy works very hard and is a pleasure to work with.
We worked with Sherry and she was AMAZING!!!! She was open, honest and always available day and night. She treated us as if we were King and Queen. She was always on top of everything, did her research, knew the details of every house, understood our needs/wants/dreams, was very patient with us and timely with showings, despite the crazy market. We'd recommend her to everyone we know! I've worked with several Realtors and she is by far the absolute best! Sherry will find you your dream home and treat you like family!!! Thank you Sherry!! "The stars aligned!"
Joni helped us during nights and weekends searching for our new home. She had great advice and was easy to work with. Thanks for helping us get into our dream home Joni.
I ve been in the Real Estate Business for over 30 years and would have to say that Necklen & Oakland is the best Real Estate Company that I ve worked for!!!
We have worked with Necklen & Oakland and they do a wonderful job serving their clients. They are very attentive and service oriented and always go above and beyond. If you want your home sold this is the team.
Being a smaller locally owned company they have a strong knowledge of the Maple Grove area and community that is beyond comparison. They are responsive, tech-savvy, and professional. They also provide tons of online marketing, making listings easy to find online. Joel and Glenn are straightforward and honest and respond quickly to questions and concerns via phone, text, and email. They are a great group to work with, I would highly recommend to all of my family and friends!
