I have seen many changes in real estate in the past 27 years that I have dedicated my career to helping homeowners, buyers & builders.

I spent the majority of my career partnering with builders & thought I would never have to jump into the Short Sale arena. I must say, that I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge & the ability to learn almost daily! It has been incredibly rewarding to help homeowners through this process & assist in making a strategic plan for their future!

I spent the majority of my career partnering with builders & thought I would never have to jump into the Short Sale arena. I must say, that I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge & the ability to learn almost daily! It has been incredibly rewarding to help homeowners through this process & assist in making a strategic plan for their future! Now that short sales and foreclosures have stabilized, the traditional real estate market has seen growth. There are not enough homes on the market right now for the new first time buyers or move up buyers. If you have been planning to sell your home- please call- we need you! Interest have seen a slight increase, but are still crazy low! More importantly, if you are thinking of waiting until spring- take exterior photos of your beautiful yard! We never know in MN if the snow will still be on the ground in May and winter pictures are never very attractive! I grew up in Bemidji, MN on Lake Andrusia, which is part of the Cass Lake Chain of lakes. I am also the co-owner of MN Permit to Carry Training in Zimmerman, MN with my significant other of 25 years. I raised 2 children in the District 728 and now all my grandchildren attend both Zimmerman and Elk River Schools. I have 2 grown daughters & 4 grandchildren who are the highlight of my life! I love to fish, hunt & and just be outside! I am very passionate about dogs, cats and horses. I have lived in the Zimmerman/Elk River area for 25 years. I have been re-elected for a second term serving on the Zimmerman City Council I would be delighted to help you with your real estate endeavor, and I am available to meet your schedule. I work evenings and weekends!
