Current market activity in Richfield:
All homes available for sale: 165
All pending transactions: 74
Sales closed this month: 22

It's hard to believe that's it's Easter again.
Before I get to a serious celebrating of this holiday, I'd like to share a few photos I found
to illustrate the fact that identity theft is not just a human thing.

Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors is predicting the following for 2009 over the 2008 figures:
With much negative news around, there are signs of optimism in the data. Pending sales at the end of 2008 were 11.7% up from 2007. Affordability index is up due to plunging interest rates and bargain property prices. Financing is still available with as low as 3.5% downpayment. And, the FHA loan limits have increased to $417,000, covering a larger pool of buyers.

It was a gorgeous day yesterday, full of bright sun and temperatures reaching 45ºF.
I woke up this morning feeling good and in good health.
I have family I love and with whom I can share my life.
I have many friends with whom I can share my laughs and my sorrows.
I have had many successes in life, small and large, that have made me very happy.
I have never had major health issues or trauma in my life.
I have a beautiful home that I love.
I realize that all life experiences have made me who I am today.
I know that the better half of my life is just beginning.
I am richer today than I was yesterday because I found a penny this afternoon (I believe every coin I find comes with blessings of abundance).
Great news!
Buyers: Are you ready?! I offer a free consultation to help you determine the timing and the price range right for you and your situation. I am very knowledgeable about financing options, including special programs and first-time home buyers programs.
I negotiate for you and with your best interest in mind.

"Marzena and her team put a great effort into helping us find a great home within a tight time frame and also location and price range requirements. They were absolutely great at communication and solving problems that came up during the process. We will absolutely use them again when it's time to move again."

"Marzena,
Thank you very much for all the work you put into selling my mother's house. My siblings and I are thrilled with the end result. We worked very hard on remodeling our mom's home, and we tried to sell it FSBO, and it didn't work. Your and Joyce's hard work and good marketing brought in enough buyers that the property sold, and it sold for a good price.
Thanks again!"
George T.

"We were so lucky that we had Marzena's team working with us. The loan officer we had been pre-approved by all of the sudden "disappeared": her office phone was disconnected, there was no answer on th cell phone, we never received the pre-approval letter, etc. All-of-the-sudden we found ourselves in the middle of negotiating on a house and not really knowing if we had a mortgage secured. Marzena referred us to an experienced and reputable loan officer, who took charge and saved our situation and the transaction. Thanks Marzena. We love our home!
Jackie and Jeff R.
Richfield, MN
"We called Marzena for a market analysis when we were trying to sell my parents' home on our own. At that time, we had talked to two other agents. Marzena's marketing and property pricing looked far more superior than that of the others. We received great decorating and staging help from Marzena's team, which really helped sell the home. When we finally decided to list, Marzena and her team did a fantastic job, especially during negotiation. We are glad we called Marzena."
Stacy H.

Marzena,
Thank you so much for all you time, effort and lots of patience that you put into helping me buy my home. The seven months that it took seemed like eternity. Every time we wrote an offer, my heart was pounding not knowing if this was the right home. But, when we found this home, all pieces of the puzzle came together so easily. Once again, thank you so very much. I love my home!
