Boutique real estate · Twin Cities Metro
Renae Browley and the Black Dove Group represent buyers, sellers, and investors across the seven county Twin Cities metro. Fewer clients, deeper care, and a standard of service that outlasts the closing.
Invest with purpose · Secure your legacy
You are not a transaction. You are a family in motion.
Most brokerages measure a year in units closed. We measure it in doors opened, boxes unpacked, and the first morning a family wakes up and knows they are finally home.
That belief shapes everything here. We take fewer clients on purpose. We answer the phone. We will tell you when a house is wrong for you, even when saying so costs us. And when the movers pull away, we are still your agent, because the closing was never the point. It was the beginning.
A first home is the first real asset most families ever build. Helping you find it well is how a legacy actually starts.

How we work
For buyers
Falling for a home is easy. Knowing what it will cost you three Minnesota winters from now is the part that takes a broker.
For sellers
The market rewards preparation and punishes wishful pricing. We do the unglamorous work that makes the glamorous result possible.
For investors
Doors are assets before they are addresses. We underwrite the deal the way an owner would, then hand you the numbers and let them argue for themselves.
A dedicated, elite professional who genuinely helps you invest with purpose and secure your legacy.Marlene N. · Investor & homeowner · Google review

An absolute powerhouse of knowledge.
I have worked with Renae for over four years now. Renae has masterfully guided me through complex investment properties, AMCs, and the purchase of my own personal home. Her market insights across the Twin Cities are unmatched, and her sharp strategic thinking takes all the stress out of complex transactions. Whether you are a seasoned investor looking to scale or someone searching for the perfect primary residence, you need Renae and her team in your corner.

37 showings the first weekend. $11,000 over asking.
Couldn't have done it without her! I was dealing with an estate that needed a lot of work, I was about to walk away and let the bank have the house. Then Renae was sent my way, she was the only realtor to want to list this house, she had people that would do some work on it without me having to invest my own funds, these workers agreed to wait for payment until we closed on the house. The house was listed on a Thursday evening, and she had 37 showings scheduled that first weekend, by Sunday we had an offer that was $11,000 over asking price. I could not have sold this home without her.
Gary W.Seller · Google review★★★★★
I'm currently 8 months pregnant, we needed to find a bigger home for our family and we had to do it FAST. Renae was so open with her schedule to make sure we got out to showings right away and made offers in a timely manner. She never made me feel like I was a bother. Renae followed through from day one up to our closing, and even after the closing happened. She genuinely cares about the people she's working with and makes such a stressful process way easier to go through.
Haley T.Buyer · Google review★★★★★
Always the best of the best. She WILL find you what you are looking for and will help you do the dang thing. Will always be there every step of the way too. She has became a friend and will become yours too. She helped us found our first house, sell that one, and now helped us with the house that we just closed on the other day. So nice feeling so comfortable along the process and having someone truly right there that actually knows what the heck she is talking about!!
Heather P.Buyer & seller · Google review★★★★★
My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers and she made the process as smooth as she could in this crazy market. She is always there to answer all the questions, she makes sure she makes you feel heard and always is responsive quickly. We will definitely be using her when we buy our forever home!
Heather L.First time buyer · Google review★★★★★
I have worked with Renae for years. She has always gone above and beyond for me. I have referred her to family and friends and they have always thanked me as she had helped them tremendously with buying a home. I would highly recommend Renae!
Anna M.Repeat client · Google review★★★★★
As a first time home buyer, you have unloaded every stress off my shoulder and reassured me you will do whatever it takes. Your motivation and dedication speaks volumes and you have proven to me how important your clients are to you.

I would gladly work with Renae again.
It’s refreshing to work with an agent who brings such a positive and cooperative approach to the process.

A dedicated page for every community we serve across Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, Washington, Scott, and Carver counties. This is how buyers find us on Google instead of finding a portal that sells the lead to someone else.
The team
Every agent has her own page to share with her own clients, with her bio, her listings, her reviews, and her calendar. One brand, five front doors.
Client access
Closing day is not the end of our work. Past clients get a private door on this site, and everything behind it is built to keep serving you long after the boxes are unpacked.
The journal
Local, specific, and useful. Every post is one more page that helps a stranger in your zip code find us first.
The first two weeks decide everything. Here is the math on what happens when a listing sits into a Minnesota fall.
