We honestly got lucky finding Chris Raasch as a Realtor. Zillow could have sent us to any number of people in Tomahawk. We weren't even 100 percent set on buying there, but changed our mind on the first visit. Chris took the time to LISTEN to exactly what I wanted the first day, then showed me what was available. With each stop, Chris was able to refine in her mind what I was looking for. We thought we got lucky and struck gold as one final place came on the market that day, but I got outbid. But by that point, Chris knew exactly what I wanted. When she got a lead on a new cabin and the extended 7 acres, she called and asked how quickly I could get up here.
Chris is more than a Realtor just interested in making a sale. She patiently answers a ton of questions and gives her own thoughts on each property. She instinctively KNEW this was the place we wanted, and she was right, because I have a picture hanging on my wall at home that looks almost exactly like it.
Chris has been a wealth of knowledge and continues to recommend people I need to reach out to, since this will be a second home. She checks in regularly even though she doesn't have to.
Bottom line is this: Your time is valuable. Go with a Realtor who understands that and will work with you each step, and sees you as a future community member and not just a sale. Save yourself some time and just call Chris. You won't regret it.
We really found Chris by happenstance, after I reached out to find a Realtor on Zillow. That turned out to be some great luck for us! Chris jumped into action immediately and LISTENED to what I wanted and was honest from the beginning. "OK, what you want and what we have available right now isn't the same, but I want you to see what's out there."
She immediately showed the pros and cons of each location, based on what I was looking for. At the end of the day, a house I DID want came open. She coached me through it. We didn't get it, which led me to mourn for about a week or so. Chris called me a couple weeks later. She had a lead on another house that was about to go on the market and asked how quickly I could get to Tomahawk. She knew it would be a property that would go fast.
And we got the lake house! Could not have done it without Chris, who has been wonderful throughout. This isn't just a business transaction. Chris kept in touch throughout the process and afterward, making us feel like we are truly part of the community.
If you want a Realtor who KNOWS the people of Tomahawk and knows the properties, don't waste time. Call Chris.
I met Chris as my Realtor by happenstance was looking for info on a home I saw online and got connected with her. Best dumb luck for me ever! Chris listened to what I wanted and showed me things I needed to see to understand what I did NOT want.
We almost struck gold on our first day out. That deal fell through, but two weeks later she called and said, How soon can you get up here?
She had a lead on a cabin and she knew it was my dream (waaaay better than the first place). She explained what needed to be done to make it happen, and the sellers agreed four hours later.
But Chris didnt just stop there. She checked in regularly and wants to make sure we know we are welcome in her community.
This is way more than a real estate business transaction. This is top-rate service. We highly recommend Chris when you are ready to buy your dream lake house up north.
Working with Ed and Chris is always a pleasure! A quick sale with no worries- thanks guys!
Terry & Patty Weinfurter, a buyer from Tomahawk, WI
We enjoyed working with Chris. Chris was knowledgeable and helped guide us through the entire purchasing process. She took the time to answer our questions which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for property in the north woods. Thank you again Chris for making our purchase a positive experience.
This is the second time we Used Chris, she sold us the cabin and she sold the cabin for us and both times she was excellent and intelligible and fun to work with.
We recently had to sell our home due to a move that was going to take us out of state. Renee and her team at Woodland Lakes Realty were the perfect fit for our selling needs. We were impressed with the quick communication, knowledge of the market and in the end getting the house sold in a timely matter. We felt well taken care of by them and knew that it was a company to be trusted with this big of an investment sale. I plan to recommend them to others!
Chris and Ed were amazing from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, competent and experienced. They were always responsive and quickly addressed any needs along the way. In addition to that, they were so friendly they made us feel right at home with the property and area. They went above and beyond what we could have expected and we'll be forever grateful for that! Highly recommend them!
Chris was professional and warm and pleasant. She was knowledgeable and helped us through the whole process. We were so lucky to have her and enjoyed our time with her.
You would be hard pressed to find a better agent for your property hunt. Chris communicates confidence and knowledge in her methods. I believe she truly loves what she does, and her approach comes from the heart. Chris is there when you need questions answered and is part of the fabric of the community, knowing who to call when you need things done in a timely manner. She is even there to calm you if you get cold feet in the midst of the deal. My family and I love the piece of Gods country that has been added to our lives.
My experience with Chris as my agent was amazing. She made the selling process smooth and timely. She promptly kept me up to date on every aspect of the sale and was available anytime I had questions. I would definitely use Chris again if the opportunity arises!
Chris was warm and knowledgeable and professional as well as being so easy to talk to and friendly. She and her husband were down to earth and so relatable. We always felt that we were in the best of care!
Chris made this entire process of purchasing land so easy and explained every step along the way. We felt confident in her expertise, we were referred to her by other happy and satisfied clients.
Chris took the time to listen to our needs and was flexible with showing us houses. We appreciated how on top of it she was. She was helpful with coordinating with our lender and title company to get the job done.
Chris was helpful even with the short notice. Chris stayed in contact with us even on her fishing trip. We are thankful for her help even with the tough situation we were in.
Handled the sale of the property we purchased timely and professionally. Answered all our questions and kept us informed. As both parties and realtors were from different cities everything went smoothly.
Chris recently assisted with the sale of my mother's home...in a city not in Chris' normal "community." Her expertise made the process easy and smooth. She was extremely timely in her communication...even while she was on vacation. I highly recommend Chris!
Chris was easy to work with. Always available when you needed. Very knowledgeable of the process and helped through some issues with the bank. Would recommend to anyone.
Chris was always available to answer questions and provide updates. We had multiple offers shortly after listing. She made it a fairly pain free process.
We'd been working with a different Realtor who was supposed to be keeping an eye on property on a particular lake for us. The person kept sending us things that didn't fit our needs - different lake, or connecting river instead of the lake itself. Ed showed us a house on the lake we wanted where he was listing agent. We decided against that one, but asked him to keep us posted and gave him our requirements. A few days later, he found us the perfect property and we snapped it up. He was attentive and helpful throughout the process and he really listened to us.
Everything went so smooth with Chris. She always got back to me whenever I contacted her and went above and beyond my expectations. Just closed on my home yesterday and it was flawless. Thank you Chris!
Chris and Ed were fantastic to work with. Their experience and knowledge put us at ease and helped us through the process. I would highly recommend both of them.

This is the second time we worked with Chris on this property and it was so easy each time. We realized we didnt have time or knowledge to handle the details of selling a home. Chris took care of everything and was well worth it!
Chis took me through a few houses and took the time to discuss options with me. We ended up with an accepted offer and moved towards closing quickly. Chis had communicated through the whole experience and made it so easy. Would highly recommend Chris to any of our friends and family.
As a first time seller I was impressed with their knowledge and promptness in every aspect. It was a pleasure to have the Raasch team helping me through a difficult time. Ed and Chris are kind and caring people. I highly recommend them. Doug Biggs
Sold with 2 showings BUT it was the prep work and the hand holding that was reason I am writing a review. Your Realtor Matters. We lived and loved and were constantly working on our beautiful 1897 home in Tomahawk Wisconsin. Raised a family there; planted trees removed trees and had a unique connection with the home. The girls held my hand and supported us on every turn. My review is to embrace the true meaning of a Team. Thank You Team!!! You are the GREAT at your job.
We had a great experience with Chris and Woodland Lakes in general. Chris understood my goals and acted as my advocate to help achieve those goals. Chris made sure the complications of the real estate process were smooth for me. She had my best interest at the forefront and was the model of professionalism at the same time!
First time using realtors in the process of buying and selling a house. Chris Raasch really did an amazing job in our situation. Naturally we had a lot of questions and all were answered excellently. Very knowledgable in the area we wanted to buy a home in as well. Chris helped us move on to the next chapter in our lives and we will forever be thankful.
We can't overemphasize how wonderful our experience with Chris was! She has a unique understanding of the Northwoods and was patient and willing to share this expertise with us. Chris was receptive to our numerous questions and never made us feel we were asking too much of her. She's also just really enjoyable to be around! We feel like we made a new friend through this process! :)
Heather & Andrew Duaime, a seller from Tomahawk, WI
Chris and Ed are so kind, knowledgeable, and simply the best in the area. They always go above and beyond in ways you dont think a realtor could! Thank you so much for everything.
We used Woodland Lakes Realty 3 times for our realestate needs in the Tomahawk area, working with both Tony Frisch and Chris Raasch. We were pleased with the help and expertise they provided, and if the need arose, would use them again.
Chris has been a great realtor for us in the buying and selling process both over the years. Would highly recommend. Very knowledgeable on the market, keeps you updated no matter the time and goes above and beyond expectations.
We had been looking for a second home for a couple of years. The market for what we wanted- reasonable price, privacy with wooded land and a small quiet lake- seemed impossible. After a couple of other offers were not accepted - I came across a listing of Chris and called her. She called us that night! Start to finish- she was fantastic and answered all of our questions. The unique way we submitted and our offer was accepted made this process pleasant and we were able to close within 2 weeks. It was meant to be!
We enjoy working with Chris because she is a dedicated professional. She is responsive, courteous and her clients are a priority. Hassle free transactions are her specialty!
Chris has assisted my family several times with our housing needs. She is exceptional at what she does. She is patient, caring and kind. She is a wealth of information. She has provided us with detailed information and guidance to help us make best informed decisions. We feel that she is not just there to make a sale. She is truly caring and wants the best for her clients. Thank you Chris for always being reliable and dependable!
With my property there was a few hurdles to say the least . Yet we set realistic goals and values from the start. Was there personality or should I say buyer split personality issues. Yes and yet Chris and I dealt with it all in the up most professional way . Very nice working with her office and yes I did use the same realtor on the next sale of another property too . Very happy. Thank You !
Could not have had a better experience. Her response time, attention to detail with properties and advice made all the difference. I could not recommend her more!
My fianc and I are first time home buyers so we were nervous stepping into this process. Chris has been nothing but wonderful to us. She went above and beyond to answer any questions and was always available. Chris is experienced and knowledgeable. She knew exactly what to look and watch out for in a home. We feel so lucky to have Chris as our realtor.
Chris was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and had a great working knowledge of the property and surrounding area. She gave us so much above and beyond the just the listing info- she helped us understand utilities and background as well. She is definitely the person I would recommend as our first choice to anyone looking to buy in the Tomahawk area.
We have known Chris for 20+ years. She and her husband/partner, Ed, showed us the house and assisted us with the purchase back in 1999. Fast forward to last summer and they helped us with the sale. Details were handled smoothly, efficiently and professionally. Chris compliments her professionalism with a genuine warmth and effervescent personality that makes working with her extremely enjoyable. Her smile is infectious! Ed is equally matched with attention to details, professionalism and the ability to make the entire process seamless. If youre considering either buying or selling a property, you truly cannot find two better advocates than Ed and Chris Raasch.
Chris was knowledgeable and personable. Very easy to work with and responsive. She helped us in so many ways with this challenging task. We would use her again in a heartbeat!
I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but I really want to praise these two. Chris (and Ed) went well beyond what is typically expected of a realtor. Our particular situation was a little out of the ordinary; the home we were selling is in Tomahawk, my brother is in OH and I am in NC. Checking on the place, helping to coordinate snow plowing, helping us find people to help clean out the place are just a few of the things they did for us. What a HUGE help they were in getting things done and ready for the place to sell. They made us feel so comfortable knowing the place was in such good hands. I could go on and on about how extremely helpful and insightful and kind they were. This was an absolutely wonderful experience. Thank you Ed and Chris!
My experience with Chris has been awesome. She was supportive, understanding, efficient. Things went well, she kept me up on all that was happening and was an awesome troubleshooter. I would recommend her to anyone making a big decision for moving. Her personal touches helped me through a difficult time so much. Thank you Chris for a personal and caring experience.
Awesome job! Caring, concerned, always had my back. Made my experience wonderful. Would recommend to anyone for the great job. Have made an impact on my life. Thank you for the new start!
Chris made the whole first time scary buying a house thing a breeze for me! She listened to what I wanted and was looking for and totally kept her patience with me!
Chris was extremely helpful in the purchase of my home. Her many years of experience and her true character of being a caring person was evident in all aspects of the process. Moreover, her claruty and frequency of communication was above what I expected from an agent. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone.
We reached out to Chris when we decided to sell our rental property. Within one hour of our phone call, she was at the property having a meeting with us and taking pictures. She was exceptionally thorough in explaining the process and what we should expect next, and was thoughtfully realistic in what our expectations should be. The property was sold within a week, and Chris maintained excellent communication with us throughout the process. She made our selling experience remarkably easy, and we couldnt have asked for a better realtor to lead us through the process.
Great communication through the buying process. Chris & Ed were even on vacation when we were in the middle of negotiations but they were 100% attentive & didn't miss a beat! Whole process was painless and will definitely work with them again!
I bought one house and Ive sold two houses through Chris and Ed. Wont find better people who are willing to work with you and always looking out for YOUR best interest. Wonderful people and made the sale / Closing happen flawlessly.
We are from out of town and selling a family members home up here. Chris was always on top of every aspect of this sale. She had more to take care of because we were out of town. Very professional and knowledgeable. This is the 3rd time Chris has helped us buy or sell property and all 3 times she was great.
Tyler & Kayci Stevenson, a seller from Tomahawk, WI
Chris helped us sell our house quickly! From listing to closing was under 25 days. She went above and beyond to help the buyers from out of state, helped market our house appropriately to them, and took care of all the details in between. When we had a goal to have our house on the market by June 1, she highly recommended going as quickly as possible. We pulled all helpers and had it listed by May 5, and it was closed by May 31. She was concerned with the market turning and knew first hand experience things about the market that influenced our ability to sell our house at full asking price.
Chris did an outstanding job. Her compassion for people really shows when you work with her. She was prompt on getting me all the information and documents on a timely manner. I would recommend her and certainly would use her services again. Thank you Chris
After the death of my husband, Chris guided me through some tough decisions. Her professionalism and sound advice is what has brought me to today successful in selling not only the properties Tim had as investments but also his office building and finally, the sale of our home to a sweet condo property on Clear Lake. Her I always Have your Back, Sheryl reminders, have given me the courage to realize this final step in my life to a more secure financial future. There just arent enough stars to rate The Raasch Team in my opinion and I will always highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable Real Estate Agent!
Chris did an excellent job of selling my parents home. She was in total communication with us thru the whole process so we had no surprises.The house had an excepted offer within 2 days after we listed it with Chris! A truly hardworking, honest, professional person, that truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Chris told us exactly what to expect from the market, so there were no surprises. That was a big help for someone like me who has never sold property before.
Chris did all the paperwork in a timely fashion. She organized the appraisal and the closing for the private sale of the buyer we found ourselves before listing the property with a realtor.
Chris has the contacts ,experience and dedication to get things done. Friends referred Chris to me and I am forever grateful. Chris got results beyond my expectations. Selling my home for $25,000 over asking in 2 days. So easy to work with, everything was efficiently and she has excellent negotiation skills. You should consider no one else if you want it done right.
Chris listed a house i bought to flip. She was helpful on keeping me updated on what was popular and things that would help to sell it in a timely fashion. She listed it before it was finished so people could make there own finishing touches if they wanted. I had an accepted offer several weeks before the house was even finished.
My 91 year old dad listed his house with Chris. Chris took her time to explain the process so he could understand. Her knowledge of the market and the area values helped us to determine our every step.
We decided to put the house up and Chris got it sold on the first offer for well over our asking price. This is the second time we have had Chris help us with our real estate needs and if necessary will do again.
I enjoyed working with Chris and Ed. They were professional and personal. Thanks Again. 2019
A Very satisfied Customer, a buyer from Tomahawk, WI
These two show what true passion is for their job, they make it look like an art. It was smooth and honest interaction every step of the way. I always felt comfortable around them and felt as though not only were they honest and open, but that I could be completely honest and open as well. There are a ton of other realtors in this area, but none are anything compared to these two. They are true professionals in every aspect of this field. I would highly recommend them as well as use them for every real estate transaction I do from here on out! 2015
These two are truly the best at what they do, not only in the Northwoods but anywhere. They knew and understood my situation and never pushed me to any point I didn't think was realistic. They were honest, accommodating, flexible and not only understanding, but truly compassionate of the services they offered for me and my family. I will never work with anyone else after this A++++++++++++ experience with Ed and Chris Raasch! 2016
