Our Story and Philosophy: Trust and Partnership

The journey behind our business is rooted in a passion for both real estate and the North Shore lifestyle. When Phil Huston decided to make Silver Bay his home after years of owning BCH Realty in the Twin Cities, he knew he wanted to bring his expertise to this stunning region. After purchasing a small house for just $20,000, Phil's love for climbing and the great outdoors inspired him to name the business "Belay Realty." The term "belay" refers to the trust and partnership between a climber and their belay partner, something that Phil feels is essential when guiding clients through the sometimes complex world of real estate. This philosophy of trust and collaboration guides every aspect of the business.

Belay Realty's unique blend of real estate services and drone imaging is a reflection of Phil's desire to provide clients with the best tools and support to make informed decisions. Adding North Shore Aerial Imaging was a natural progression, as it allowed the business to offer clients stunning aerial views that help provide a more comprehensive perspective on properties and construction sites. From the ground to the sky, we are dedicated to offering innovative, high-quality services that meet the needs of our clients while maintaining the values of trust, dedication, and local knowledge. Every transaction is an opportunity to build a lasting partnership, and we are here to help you navigate the real estate process with confidence.
