On Tuesday I mentioned the vacation contest and today I am explaining my favorite type of vacation.

What is your favorite vacation destination? I am running a contest and we will see what a few of the answers are through out the next month.

Its a steamy Sunday afternoon and today is about keeping the momentum and keeping the streak alive.

It is Summer and you can feel it. I am sweating and Waynes big rig is in the yard and its wedding day.

For buyers and sellers a skill you will likely need to have in the slight shift in the market is the skill of being flexible.  This episode explains what I mean in more detail.

My stepdaughter gets married this weekend and here is what is happening today.

Every few months I do a heavy follow up call month to past clients and leads. June has been the month for the call month.

We (mostly my wife) did some cleaning and decluttering and even though it was not fun to do, it sure feels better having it done.

One of the benefits of RE/MAX Results are our many locations across Minnesota and Wisconsin!

Lofty is the CRM I use for staying in touch in Real Estate. Here is a bit about how it works.

This stunningly remodeled home in Hibbing MN already sold! 3BR, 4BA, 3 Stall garage for $250,000.

The Minnesota Real Estate market is overall doing well.  Place that predict values toward the end of the year for the most part see the market as being flat on price appreciate. The Spring Market is still where you likely do better for selling then later in the year.

I work hard on letting things go, but sometimes certain days do trigger painful memories of bad real estate deals/situations. Here is one.
