Elk River, MN

Hear ye, hear ye... The expansion of the First time homebuyer credit passed legislation!
If you are a first time homebuyer (or haven't owned a home in three years) you qualify for this awesome program!

Now is a GREAT time to take advantage of this program (that expires at the end of April) and to purchase a home. Why is it so advantageous? Here's a few of my top reasons:

1. Minnesota home sales tend to slow a bit through the holidays and cause a slight dip in pricing. It's quite possible to find a home for less money than you would in the spring months!

2. What a better way to celebrate the holidays than buying your family a home! That is a holiday gift that would be hard to beat.

3. Wouldn't you rather move in the snow than the rain? Really - when the water is in snow form it's less wet than water form. :0)

4. Get in now and have the whole winter to make the inside what you want before it's time to work on the outside!

5. Buy now and take advantage of homeowner tax credits on your taxes!

6. You can't go wrong with the low interest rates and 1st time homebuyer funding that is currently available.

If you'd like me to set you up on a search to see what's available in your area just let me know! I'd love to help you get set up in your new home before the new year!

If you are looking for professional real estate services I am only a ring away! I am looking forward to working with you.

It's a Happy Halloween to all my beloved fans! May your holiday be filled with fun and adventure!

What a better way to celebrate than to gain an extra hour of sleep, eh?
Just a quick reminder to all my trick-or-treating friends that tonight (October, 31st) is the night to turn those clocks back.

We gain an hour!! If only my kids would get the memo and enjoy their moment to sleep in....

Enjoy your Halloween and at the end of Saturday - don't forget to move those clocks!
It's just that time of year!

In preparation for their grand opening the Northstar Rail has been sending out practice trains now for a couple of weeks. Have you seen them?

Starting service in November will be quite an exciting event for this public transportation system! Running from Big Lake down to the cities everyday with several stops in between (including Elk River) will provide a new and relaxing way for commuters to avoid high traffic during rush hour!

My boys love seeing these fast and bright trains fly by on the rails and ask often when they will get their turn to ride. We might just have to take a trip!

If you are looking at purchasing a home along the rail line now is the time! With prices at a low and the anticipation of how the train will help with commuting - now is the time! There is still plenty of inventory in Big Lake, Elk River, Ramsey and all along the commuter track!

If you didn't read my previous post.... here is my update.

I have been asked and kindly volunteered to help raise money for the local area children with muscular dystrophy. They are having a fundraiser to help send these children to camp!!!!

Before August 27th I have pledged to try and raise enough money to send two children to camp and could really use your help!!!!

Please click HERE to help me make my goal.

If I haven't raised the funds on that day I will be arrested and brought to the MDA headquarters in Rogers until my bail has been reached.

If everyone that I know donates just $3 I could make goal quickly. Please help!
