Jeff did a great job working with me to find the right house over several months. He set me up with listings to look up, financing with a local bank, and housing inspection.

As a first time buyer, Anna was very patient and helpful with my questions. She promptly responded to my emails, even on weekends. Communication was excellent overall. She was also flexible with me being outside the local area. I would have made several mistakes without her guidance and expert feedback. Highly recommend!

Jeff was very professional and always seemed to have our interest throughout the process. He listened to what my wife and I were interested in and right away showed us the property we purchased.

We’ve worked with Jeff on several land and home purchases. He is very knowledgeable of the area, navigating property purchasing, and making the deal happen. We wouldn’t work with anyone else in the future.

Working with Bear Island and their agents was a great experience for me. I started my home search during the peak of the nationwide home buying frenzy (Feb 2022). The professionals at Bear Island Realty made this experience as stress free and straight forward as possible. Trish was my agent throughout and she was phenomenal! I've worked with 6 agents across multiple states in my time buying homes (all of which were buying/selling primary residences) and Trish was far and above the best agent I've ever worked with. She was patient, available, insightful, and there for me all the way through closing day drama. Trish was knowledgeable of all aspects that I would expect out of a real estate professional and made this process super easy for me. She ALWAYS responded to my calls, texts, and email in a timely manner; she even notified me in the middle of the night when my offer got accepted! What a pro!! I've never experienced this kind of personal service before and I can't speak highly enough about Trish and her peers at Bear Island Realty--especially in the 2022 home buying market when time is of the essence. I recommend Trish and her peers at Bear Island Realty for anyone looking to purchase a home in the Iron Range area. Thanks y'all!

Jeff is the best. He has helped us through every aspect of listing and selling multiple lots in the Ely area in the past couple of years. Timely, courteous, responsive, knowledgeable, and a man of integrity. We couldn't be happier!

Jeff Hway is your man! He went above and beyond for us and he will for you too. When my wife was offered a job in Ely we needed to find a new place to call home. We asked friends that lived in the area and Jeff was highly recommend. We were moving from Mpls and time to come up and look for real estate was limited and of the essence. Jeff was great at keeping us informed of listings and always fitting us in with the time we had. He was more then accommodating and always prepared with not only knowledge of the property but of the surrounding area as well. His honest, trustworthy and nothing hidden personality made making one of the biggest decisions of our life comforting and easy. I would recommend Jeff to even my own Mother as we did when he helped my in-laws also purchase property in Ely.

Jeff did a great job finding us the right home. He went out of his way to show us lots of places, so that when we found the one we liked, we knew it! We had a list of desires and hopes for a home within our budget and he did a great job locating those.

Anna worked very hard at finding our forever home. She kept us updated on every aspect of the process. All staff at the office are very professional and helpful. I would recommend Anna for your real estate needs.

If you are looking for an agent that knows the area, listens to his clients, is patient, and is determined to find the property for you, Jeff is your guy! My husband and I are very pleased! We couldn't be happier with Jeff's determination and communication through our real estate purchase. We purchased 40 acres of pristine land with a beautiful cabin. He came across this place while we were looking at another property, just north of it actually. We were working with Jeff on buying that 20 acres when he was called by the property owner to the south, that he was wanting to sell their 40. He was quick to getting on the phone to call us about this opportunity! He said, "if you can swing this, you will be very happy, you won't be disappointed!" We dropped the 20 acre property that we had been going back and forth on negotiations with the seller, and jumped on this new property. We are ecstatic about our new purchase, and can't thank Jeff enough! He went above and beyond to make sure we found what we were looking for! Thank you Jeff and Bear Island Land Company for finding our home away from home!

My wife Paula and I worked with Jeff this summer to purchase a Lake Cabin on White Iron Lake outside of Ely, MN. Jeff worked as dual agent to both buyer and seller and I believe he represented both sides very well. We submitted a purchase agreement on 06/30/2015 and closed on 07/29/2015. We had been looking at a lot of different properties over 4 years and when we finally sat down with Jeff, described what our requirements were, he said I think I have just the place for you. We went out and looked at the property and made an offer that day.

My wife and I worked with Kate Davies on purchasing an undeveloped piece of lakeshore property. Kate was extremely helpful and patient with us through the process. A pleasure to work with. Thank You Kate.
