I have seen buyers and agents talk themselves into a sale and out of a sale. So you need to know when to be quiet and when to try and stop a client from talking. Being courtious, is also a very important trait to possess. Many of yo know I worked in corrections and here a few examples that I ran into.
One day I was riding along with one of the Deputies and a car in front of us was turning, but no brake or turn signals came on. The officer I was with flipped on the lights, said to me..."let the person know he has no lights, and just ask him to have them checked out.
I walked up to the car, the man started screaming at me that I should be looking for some real criminals instead of bothering law abiding people like him. I politely asked for his license and went back and the Deputy did a check. This guy, had had his license taken away, had 2 outstanding warrants. We later told him that we had only stopped him to inform him about his lights and that his attitude is what put him in jail.
Another time I had just released a guy that was brought in on a revoked license. He called his boss to say he was leaving. I am not sure what the question was, but he shouted, well I have my car here in the lot. He hung up the phone. followed him upstairs and one of the deputies and I watched as he got into his car and was going to leave. He was back in jail withing 3 min of leaving. Keeping quiet, and we would never had known.
So, take a breath and think before you speak.
Morris had a Dr.s appt for a physical. A week later the Dr. seen Morris and asked how he was doing.
" I am doing Great" said Morris...I took your advice. I got me a nice HOT Momma and I am living carefree..
The Dr. said to Morris in a louder voice..."Morris, I said you have a heart murmer, and you shoud be careful!"
In this fast pace world of ours, we are up bvefore the sun and off on ourway. We may not see our loved ones until late in the day, if at all. We go along 'business' as usual. Did you take time to call al loved one to say "I Love You". This happened to day right by my house. I don't know any details, except, a passer by took the person to the hospital with injuries.
This car went down a very steep bank and erupted in flames shortly after the driver got out!
This could happen to any of us at anytime. Take the time to connect, you never know when you wish you would have.
Dear Lord...I pray that the person in this car is OK and able to be back with his loved ones! AMEN!
Ya...It is a balmy 23 with just a small 10 mile wind. Can't sit inside all day, so it's outside with the granddaughter to do some sliding. The great thing about the warmth we have, is we don't need our heavy clothes on. It makes it so much easier to move around. The long sleeve shirts in this weather are so cumbersome!
Then of course, when you are having fun, someone has to bring out the camera....
This is one of the more trecherous hills we have to slide on!
I was looking at the local lakes and seeing what was for sale. I was surprised to see as many as I did. I also seen a wide variety in prices. Ther are many cabins on the lakes for under $200,000, with a good share under $150,000.
A lake home is one of the dream homes many want. The lake homes will be one of the first Real Estate parcels to rebound in price in my opinion because there are still very few overall.
If you are thinking this is the year...call me today! If you are thinking that next year is going to be the best...you may be missing the boat. Those that can afford to purchase this year, need to think strongly about starting to look NOW!!!

Farm, both hobby and Full scale including Dairy,I grew up on the farm which included all facets of farm living. I am familiar with Dairy, Beef and Hogs. I am also versed in the horse setup of today's "Hobby Farmer". There are many areas of farming and some do not include animals.
Recreational, from hiking to fishing and hunting. Being an avid outdoorsman since early childhood, I have an appriciation for nature and the outdoors. Just like farming, there are many different aspects of hunting. Deer Hunting is my main pasion, but bird and varmit come into play often also. I understand the need for good hunting as for numbers, or, the local and habitat for the more challanging Trophy. Land birds are different from Waterfowl. Some of my clients want a mixed bag oppurtunity and we can tailor a purchase to include most any situation.
Retail business and mfg. The commercial end of Real Estate can be the most challenging. There are so many different needs which can change in a heartbeat. Same goes for Retail. I was a Assistant manager in a small company, and so I understand the need of space being appropriate for the type of opperation. I owned a retail store for 16 years and seen how inventories change over periods of time. There is a need to be able to be flexable to the next trend. I work with clients thatwant to pruchase and who prefer to lease.
1031 tax exchange is one of the most misunderstood of Real Estate Transactions. In simple terms, it allows you to seel one property and buy a different, and some times several, properties without paying any taxes on the sale. The KEY to thsis is working with a knowledgeable agents and an exchange party that knows all the ins and outs. This is not a time to use someone that says "Oh sure I think we can do those"! I have personally done 7 transactions and another 12, some multiple, additional client exchanges.
Large land sales and developement. If you were blessed or a smart investment, I have and still do work with several developement companies that specialize in the development for housing and business needs. These developers take pride in what they are doing with the land. If you are looking to sell a parcel of any size, let us help keep some of the integrity of the land. A 1031 exchange may be the key to finacial freedom also!

Mpls/St. Paul magazines listed myself as "Super Real Estate Agent" a designation that the magazine makes from referrals of my peers. I had that Designation for 2005 and 2006. I was the only agent from the North Branch area ( according to my clients ) that was listed for either year. Working with the public, also known as friends, is very rewarding in that I meet many great people. I am the choise of most the members of my small church, and of several other small organizations I belong to, because they know I will treat them like I want to be treated. Other testimonials can be seen by direct request, as most of my clients do not wish to be over loaded with calls. Thank You for your understanding. Please visit our web site and search the MLS yourself! Please check the Minnestota Better Business Bureau for our record! Our Motto "Our Goal is to meet Your Needs" Check us out.
