The Real Estate Collaborative

The Real Estate Collaborative REC is a different kind of brokerage-
working more collaboratively, advocating for housing equity & bringing more equity into every real estate transaction.

ABOUT REC’S BROKER + FOUNDER, PAIGE KAHLE
Since 2004, I have had the pleasure of helping families and individuals find a home where
they can thrive in community. I founded The Real Estate Collaborative (REC) because I saw
a need for a different kind of real estate brokerage - one that works more collaboratively
and that actively engages in advocating for housing for all. HOME... It’s what I do. TM


It’s what I have always done, in one way or another. Before I was eighteen
years old, I had lived in a dozen or more homes. I learned first-hand the
importance of a stable home, especially in terms of developing community. This idea of community is what led me to create The Real Estate
Collaborative. Building community and giving back to community is a
driving force of our team. LIFE PRIOR TO REAL ESTATE
I went to school to become a residential architect. That dream lasted for
about a second. I did not enjoy the design process; however, I did develop
an interest in the history of architecture and spent the rest of my
undergraduate work focusing on history and writing about architecture. I
then attended the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute to learn more about how
the built environment affects social change. My emphasis of study at the
Humphrey was affordable housing, neighborhood segregation, and housing
policy. Prior to becoming a Realtor in 2004, I worked for Greater Minnesota
Housing Fund - an affordable housing non-profit in Saint Paul. HOUSING AS A HUMAN NEED
Stable housing matters. It matters just like healthcare matters. It matters
like clean water matters. It matters like healthy food. Quite simply, it’s
critical in creating successful outcomes for individuals, families, and
communities. This is why when I’m not helping clients buy/sell homes, or
spending time with my family, I am an active advocate for housing for all.
