Is your mean ol' TV laughing at you?
Are you READY for the change ahead??
It could be devastating you know.
In some ways this could be more monumental than the millenium threats.
It's not a "what if" situation but a "matter of time" situation.
The question is: Are YOU ready?
Have you taken care of business?
If you are hooked on the latest soap opera you won't want to get stuck in the dark.
Maybe it's the "Buy my house" shows that you watch in hopes of great ideas in selling yours.
Or maybe the next live football game?!?!?!
With high definition television quickly coming our way we have to look at the options.
1. We can ignore it and head outside when the tv dies....
2. We can wait until the channel is dead and make a mad rush to the store in hopes that there are still some tv's left to buy.
3. We can take advantage of the rebate coupons being distributed by the gov't and get the converter box now.
Whichever you decide is right for you....
you can get more info here.
Whatever you decide?
It'll be easier to take care of PRIOR to February 17th, 2009!
If you are looking for professional real estate services I am only a ring away! I am looking forward to working with you.

As of August 1, 2008 all residential homes in Minnesota are required to have CO Detectors.
Carbon Monoxide is a serious threat in Minnesota during the winter heating season.
With the cool starting to inch it's way back into our northern climates we need to be thinking about the effectiveness of our furnaces.
If you don't already have one, now is a great time to get your CO detector installed.
Whether it's a battery, plugin or hardwired unit...
it is worth the time it takes to install.
Maybe now is the time to have your furnace cleaned, serviced and filter changed.
For more information on the new law visit www.fire.state.mn.us.
If you are considering OR have your home on the market - it is a great idea to make sure that you are ahead of the game. This new law will require CO detectors installed prior to sale (as I understand) so it's a great thing to do "in advance".
If you are looking for professional real estate services I am only a ring away! I am looking forward to working with you.

This last spring Burger Time closed and a "for sale" sign went up on the property.
Yes, it's true....
After years of enjoying the walk-up Burger and "biggie" fries of Burger Time they closed their doors for their very last time.
One could only imagine what would go up in it's place. The tiny little lot that sits between the clinic and SuperAmerica.
It didn't take long to find out!
In short fashion Sonic stuck it's sign up on the edge of the property and within weeks we watched the old building come down and the new building going up.
The anticipation of the new fast food joint grew and grew.
Daily I heard rumors of it opening soon.
Then, one day, it did.
It opened in a BIG way!
They hired security guards and put cones up all the way down the main drag in town.
I think that they over-anticipated the hype, but it was busy.
It took over a week for us to "brave" the crowds and walk up for an icecream treat.
It's weird to have waiters/waitresses roller blading with food in their hands.
I can't imagine doing it myself
(that's why I sell real estate)
but they have certainly created an ambiance.
Even now, today, you will find yourself fighting traffic and security guards to line up in wait of a great Sonic burger. I'm sure that one day the hype of the new burger will die, but in the near future it will probably stay a pretty popular thing.
So, if you want to feel like you are in the "In" then get out and head to Sonic!

Are you getting bored of having your kids at home?
Looking for something fun to do between now and school starting in September?
Been spinning your wheels doing the same thing day after day and looking for a little something new to do?
Have I got some ideas for you!
1. The Kelly Farm located just outside Elk River is a living history center. You can find farmers and animals and gardening fun on any given day! This time of year they offer lots of programs for the kiddos to learn all about what farming is ALL about!
2. There are lots and lots of parks and trails in Elk River and the surrounding areas! What a great place to bring a picnic, take a bike ride, walk a trail or two...
3. If you have exhausted Elk River and you are looking for something more WILD - there are always the Como Zoo or Minnesota Zoo. Both are very fascinating places for the whole family to explore and if money's tight the Como Zoo has a free entrance (donation).
4. At the end of August we always have the hype of the Minnesota State Fair! There are lots of ways to get there and lots of fun and activity going on! For two weeks leading up to Labor Day you can have all the animals, rides, concerts and fair food that you could ever want!
5. The first two weekends of August you can jump at the chance to visit the Game Fair in Ramsey, MN!This is a great place to enjoy the outdoors while learning about the gaming fun of the outdoors. Lots going on at this event and surely a great way to beat the summer blues.
6. With the heat of summer beating down upon us - why not a swimming event?
There are lots of beaches in and around town to enjoy from Orono Lake to Twin Lakes to Big Lake!
Hit up a different one each day you want to swim and never be bored with your location.
7. The golfing type? We have mini golf right across the river in Otsego... They have batting cages and mini-golf and more!
There are lots of big golf courses too! Visit these with the kiddos and find our next Tiger Woods!
8. Visit the local library and check out a great book!
9. Call me and let me help you find a new home!!!!
Whatever you decide to do for the rest of the summer PLEASE have fun!
It's too easy to get caught up the in the "have to" of life...
and I want you to take a little time to just have a blast!
If you are looking for professional real estate services I am only a ring away! I am looking forward to working with you.

Who doesn't love a Parade?
All that candy...
The goodies thrown from shiny floats to make every child's day happy?!?!?!
From the firetrucks to the towtrucks...
From the clowns to walking cell phones....
From the horses to the gocarts...
There was definetely something for everyone to see!
Starting promptly at 6:30 with the horses and the fanfair...
Onlookers cheered as the 2 hour journey of floats passed by.
From the remote controlled police car...
To the brave young unicyclist...
To the babies throwing candy our the makeshift train...
To Elvis entering from the right!
It was an evening of entertainment, joy and laughter.
A time when neighbors and strangers came together to celebrate...
life, fun and the fair!
Ending with the booming of the awesome Elk River High School marching band
this parade was definetely a huge success!

I love selling homes, land, investment property and more for sellers and to buyers in Elk River, Otsego, Big Lake, Zimmerman, Ramsey, Anoka, Dayton, Champlin and many surrounding areas!
It's been amazing to watch Elk River grow. Moving here when I was just three has given me the opportunity to grow with the community and it's surrounding areas. It's like watching history in the making. I know the area well, and am amazed at how much more I learn everyday!
I have been at Coldwell Banker Vision for nearly ten years! The training and experience that I've gained through my time there has helped me gain the expertise that I need to be a professional and knowledgeable real estate agent working for you!
Starting from answering phones to advertising to file coordinating.... I have had experience in all areas of the business, which have helped me become successful in my business. I am grateful and appreciative to the on-the-job training I have had! It has been an awesome way to grow.
In spring of 2004 I received my real estate license and set out to see what I could do. I have really enjoyed this past year, selling real estate and getting to know my clients and their needs. In my first year I sold 14 homes and I am excited to see where my business takes me in the years beyond!
Working in the Elk River and surrounding area I find myself helping first time homebuyers, growing families, shrinking families, relocations in and out of the area, and those looking for land.
If you are looking for something new, something old, something blue or yellow or white... I am a professional that is ready and able to help!
I know the area well and have been priveleged to work in many cities!
Elk River, Big Lake, Monticello, St Michael, Albertville, Rogers, Otsego, Dayton, Champlin, Anoka, Ramsey, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Zimmerman, Burns Twp, Cambridge, Princeton, Milaca, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Center and so many more!
"I am very happy to thank you. Everything with our home transaction went greatly and smoothly." Sarah
"Lindsey worked hard to get our listing and from seeing that I knew she would work hard to sell our home. When others told us this is the worst market in 20 years, Lindsey said we can sell this home quickly. When others told us it is a buyer's market, put your price low, Lindsey was willing to list our home at the price we wanted to list it at. At every step along the way of selling our home Lindsey did an outstanding job. She is enthusiastic, optimistic, diligent and thorough in every aspect of the selling process. Thanks Lindsey for making our move so easy!" Kathy and Ron
"Lindsey listed my townhome and a few weeks later found a buyer that fell in love with the home after their first visit. She was very diligent in explaining all the details that are involved in selling a home and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would definetely recommend her services to my family and and friends." Steve
"Besides being personable and accomodating we found Lindsey to be very knowledgable. She gave us a timeframe and price point that were totally accurate. If the need arises, we will use Lindsey's services in the future." Linda
"Lindsey was absolutely wonderful to work with! Lindsey was extremely flexible with the times we could meet and always friendly with a smile. Because of her determination and ability to locate houses I am in the home of my dreams. She had been sending me pictures of this house from the first day we signed with her. I continued to tell her that I just didn't want to look at it, no reason. But because of Lindsey my husband and I were convinced to just go and look at it what could it hurt. And 2 years later it has turned out to be the best decision and we couldn't be happier with our house. Lindsey not only helped me to find the home of my dreams but was very patient with my family in the sell of our old farmhouse, always providing helpful information or ideas to sell. On behalf of my family I would like to say thank you for your outstanding work ethics and friendliness." Jenny and Matt
"I have nothing but good to say about working with Lindsey. She made the sale of my home and purchase of my new home very effortless and worry free. I told her that I knew nothing about the process of buying and selling so she took care of everything including warning me about what to watch for. I felt I was in very good hands and highly recommend her skills and professionalism to anyone lucky and blessed enough to find her." Sandy
"In the spring of 2007, I purchased my first hime with the help of Lindsey Hasford of Coldwell Banker Vision. Since I have never bought a home before, I had lots of questions, some of which I didn't even know how to ask. With the help of Lindsey, the transaction went smoothly, and I am now happily living in my townhouse. She followed through after the transaction to make sure everything went well. I appreciated her help." Alice
