Reviews

As a buyer, we are so lucky to have Doug has our agent. He has always took our best interests in his mind. Not only he charges a significantly lower fee than the market average, but also also helped us avoid a mistake of inexperienced buyer that could have costed a lot more to repair/maintain down the road. He is very selective with the contractors that he uses. For example, the inspector he uses in our case was so thorough (including infrared camera photos) and professional. We are super impressed by his negotiation skills, we could not have negotiated better ourselves.

We moved to the Minnesota from California without knowing much about the region or the market. We found Miller Law from past positive reviews that were posted online. Doug did a wonderful job throughout our process and always felt he had our best interest at heart. We have bought many home over the years but this was one of the best experiences we have had to date. I will gladly use Miller Law in future, and would recommend him if you value your real estate investment.

Doug Miller provided an incomparable experience in real estate. He is not your run-of-the-mill agent! Doug provided legal representation and thorough consultations on each property we saw, helping me identify things that I wouldn't have known otherwise. He did all the legwork before each visit, even searching for permits with City Hall to ensure electrical upgrades were done by-the-books. He offered reason when my heart was tugging me in the wrong direction, helping me avoid paying too much in this crazy market. And he has a much more cost-effective and consumer approach to fees than a traditional retailer taking 3% for their typically underwhelming effort (he refunds more than half of the commission). Even his fee agreement is far more consumer friendly than Realtor agreements. He stuck with me for five months of showings, and led me through closing process. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a fresh, customer-centric model to buying real estate.

When we decided to sell our house, we also decided we didn’t want to use a “regular” realtor or list it ourselves. We came across Doug’s website while searching for an alternative. We were very happy with his services throughout the process. Doug helped us secure earnest money and monetary damages when an inspector damaged our home in breach of the contract. He took over for the buyer’s realtor when he was hospitalized with Covid-19 and stopped communicating just days before our closing date. And ultimately, we handed over only a fraction of the purchase price in attorney/broker fees, saving thousands of dollars over a “regular” realtor. Yes, we put on our own open houses. Yes, we hired our own photographer and wrote our own property description and staged our own home. But those were things we wanted control over regardless of who listed our property. Doug handled the big things – negotiated better offers for our home, reviewed contracts and gave legal counsel when we needed it. We were grateful to have a patient and knowledgeable attorney on our side.

Doug offers a great real estate service. He provided exceptional legal advice (for no additional charge) as he helped us purchase our dream home while also acting as our agent in selling our townhome. I have referred him to other friends. We highly recommend using him if buying or selling!

When I was first searching real estate attorney reviews I felt a bit overwhelmed by who might be the best fit. When I came upon Doug's I thought for sure they were all written by relatives and friends. He has nothing but 5 stars and there is a very good reason for his excellent rating - the man and his work is beyond stellar! I didn't want to pay the realtor fees so I decided to sell my home myself. What I thought would be a rather daunting task turned out to be incredibly easy all because of Doug. I closed within 2 weeks so Doug had a lot of work to do in a very short amount of time. I had a more unusual sale, but he took care of everything for me and the sale went without a hitch!! Besides being an amazing attorney, he's just a really wonderful and truly caring human being! I saved so much money and I can't believe how hard he worked for his flat fee. He went far above and beyond as far as I'm concerned and I will always refer this man to anyone who needs a real estate attorney. He was also very kind to the buyer, who also was extremely impressed by his service. I can't thank you enough, Doug for all your patience, disrupted weekends and dinners and please thank what must be a very patient wife especially since I called you all hours. You are the very best!!

We worked with Doug on the purchase of a new home and the sale of our former home. We couldn't be happier with Doug and the excellent service and value he provided. We saved thousands in commissions. This is how real real estate buying and selling should be. I always felt the real estate game was rigged against the consumer. Working with Doug was eye opening as he educated us on how it really works. Thanks for everything Doug.

I can’t say enough good things about the service Doug provides. The expertise provided for a cost lower than a real estate agent is amazing. He is transparent, communicative, trustworthy, and an all-around nice person to work with during a really stressful time!

Doug is such a breath of fresh air within the real estate industry. When you "hire" Doug, you not only get a real estate broker but, more importantly, you get a real estate lawyer who is highly sought after for the depth and breadth of his real estate law knowledge. Want to be told the truth every step of the way during the real estate process? Doug is your choice. Want to feel like you have someone in your corner? Doug is your choice. Want to feel like someone makes you their most important priority? Doug is your choice. Want to find out about some of the eye-opening parts of the real estate industry? Doug is your choice. I found Doug by chance and he expertly guided us through the sale of our current home and the purchase of our future home. We couldn't be more happy than we are right now - almost three weeks after moving into our new home.

We contacted Doug for help after our neighbors expressed interest in purchasing our house without the involvement of realtors on either side. We had never sold a house before and this seemed very scary at first, but with Doug's expert advice it was easy. He was incredibly organized, patient, and responsive. He even made it possible for us to pre-sign the documents prior to the official closing date since we were relocating. Closing was today and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!!!

Doug did an amazing job helping us find a home and help us save a lot of money on real estate fees. He’s very ethical and I would recommend him to anyone.

Doug Miller is an extraordinary servant leader within the real estate industry. His legal and brokerage services are carried out with a strong moral compass at a fair price that you will not find with traditional realtor services. After moving to MN and purchasing a home through traditional means in August 2018, unexpected circumstances with our purchase led us to meet Doug in February 2019. Over the past year, it has felt like Doug has become a part of our new Minnesota family. He has been with us through thick and thin, as an advocate, a real estate guide, a legal expert (proven in very unique circumstances!), a seller broker, a buyer broker, and as a person demonstrating genuine care and concern for his clients. All of this he has done with full transparency, solid communication, and the utmost integrity. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking real estate law expertise or a better experience for brokerage services. Thank you for your HUGE impact on our new Minnesota life.
