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!

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
