I have never been a hunter but buying an acreage home in Anoka County does present the perfect hunting opportunity now and then. Sure we see a deer run through the yard (or in front of our car) now and then but sometimes the missed opportunities are just GOLDEN! Just a few days ago, I heard quite a commotion in my backyard. Just a few weeks prior to Thanksgiving and we have a rafter of TURKEYS make a visit. We counted at least 40 of them. Quite an opportunity to take a shot or two...with my camera! Enjoy!
Sometimes a flying flag doesn't affect us but on days like Veteran's Day when our country has just had a very vivid reminder at Fort Hood of how lucky we are that there are so many couragous men and women fighting to protect our freedoms, the flag means so much more. This flag flies over White Bear Lake near my office. Just one of many, many symbolic thank you's to our veterans.

Did you hear it? That big woosh of air was all of those buyers, sellers, REALTORS, loan officers and title representatives that had a purchase agreement with a November 30, 2009 closing date breathing out a collective sigh of relief. An extension for the tax credit for first time homebuyers was approved by both the house and senate and is scheduled to be signed by the president today. Professionals in the industry were worried about the potential bottleneck of all the closings trying to happen before the original deadline because we all know, S*** Happens on the way to the closing table from time to time. (Yep that stands for STUF…wink, wink!) Most closings will go off without a hitch but occasionally there can be delayed a day or so. However, not closing on time could have cost some first time buyers big bucks had the extension not passed.
And, as many buyers, sellers and real estate professionals had hoped, the Homebuyer Tax Credit was not only extended but expanded to include homebuyers who have owned homes in the past. Specifically someone who has owned a home and lived in it for five consecutive years of the last eight, you could qualify for the up to a $6500 tax credit. There are guidelines and limitations so understanding the program is essential. Here are a few key details of the plan:

Considering Lakeshore? Acreage? A Single Family Home? A Townhome or Condo? Need to downsize? Need more space? Just need a change?
As a real estate sales professional and a parent of two teenaged boys, I know how important a home is to your family. It is more than just a place to live, it is a place to create memories with the people that matter the most.
I grew up and lived most of my life in North St. Paul. As a North St. Paul resident, I know the ins and outs of the North St. Paul, Oakdale, Maplewood and White Bear Lake areas. Over a decade ago, our family moved north to the eastern edge Ham Lake in the Coon Lake/Carlos Avery area. We love living just outside of Forest Lake and Columbus Township.
Now, I work and sell homes from East St. Paul to East Bethel--Specializing in Anoka County and homes in the Centennial, Blaine and Forest Lake School Districts! My 20+ years of experience in sales and marketing allow me to provide my clients with the BEST service available.
I have sold homes throughout the Northeast Metro area.

Teri had previously sold one of our homes and was our first choice when we were looking to find a new home.
Teri was able to help us navigate the current unstable real estate market and went out of her way to help us. She pointed out about pros and cons of neighborhoods where we found potential homes and was eager and willing to work with both of us. She was willing to work out of her normal territory and traveled to meet our needs
She kept us informed and worked diligently with a difficult REALTOR® to present and negotiate our offer ensuring all the paperwork was presented and in order.
Teri represented our interests throughout the negotiations and closing process. We have been through several real estate transactions this one turned out to be a very smooth, quick purchase we are thrilled with our new home. We I highly recommend Teri for your real estate needs.
Thank you Teri!
-Cheri and Denny L.
Teri made buying our 1st town home a breeze! When we moved out of state 6 months later, Teri handled all of the details of the sale to assist us in a smooth transaction. We truly appreciated her assistance!
- Carl and Maria W.
We just wanted to say again, Thanks! You worked so hard to sell our home and did a great job- despite the market. You were always very patient with us and our constant questions and "eagerness" to sell. It was such a relief to have the house SOLD! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We will absolutely (and already have been) recommending you to all our friends and family! We were told by a discount broker the only way to sell our lake home was to lower the price below the appraised value. Teri's marketing plan and advertising brought in several potential buyers. We were able to sell our home at our price and couldn't have done it without her! Teri, We love our new house! You did a great job! Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and the effort you put into selling my house. The brochures you put out were excellent! I enjoyed working with you and hope to again in the future. Again, thanks for going the extra mile.
- Terri/White Pine Homes
Teri, After I decided to sell, selecting the right person to represent ALL MY interests was imperative. Your experience, knowledge and consistent communication helped guide me through this whole 1st time process. The expedient sale can only be attributed to your efforts and hard work. Thank you so much!
