Great experience with Kris!

We refinanced our mortgage (twice!) with Kris Kurth, and he gave us a positive and rewarding experience every step of the way. He truly is a top mortgage broker who knows this business well! Within a few short weeks, everything was completed, paperwork done, and we had our money to pay off some debt and secure a better future. Thank you, Kris, for your patience and expertise! It was great doing business with you again.

- Paul from Tryon, NC

Kris was an excellent partner in Lending

Kris was not only able to educate us on some atypical options that we needed, he was WILLING! Not one other lender took the time to offer us the options we chose with Kris. Kris has the heart of a teacher and will go as far as necessary to share knowledge with his customers.

Luxury Service, Local Heart:

Looking for a different experience when it comes to real estate? Whether you’re buying your very first home or selling the place filled with years of memories, working with me feels more like teaming up with a close friend than dealing with a sales pitch. My clients say I’m organized, informed, and fun to work with! Talk about “Minnesota nice” — I bring that warmth to every client relationship, but with a fresh and youthful twist. From breaking down the details so they’re easy to understand, to keeping the process stress-free (and yes, sometimes even making you laugh along the way), I’m here to make sure you feel confident and cared for at every step. Real estate is about more than transactions—it’s about people, stories, and new chapters. I’d love to help you write yours.

“Amber went above & beyond to help us through our move from MD to MN, helping us to find the perfect neighborhood and school district! She even came prepared w/color books & playdough for the kids! Working w/ her was like catching up w/ an old friend.”

Justin Belanger

“We found a house and let Amber know, within a few hours we had videos she sent touring the home. It blew me away how quickly & efficiently she worked. Not only was Amber’s work ethic amazing, she was also very fun & friendly while helping us through the process.”

A Guide to Preparing Your Home for Rental Opportunities

Today’s buyers are increasingly drawn to properties that can generate substantial rental income during peak seasons while serving as private retreats during quieter months. The appeal extends beyond traditional lake communities to include ski destinations, wine regions, and historic towns throughout the Midwest. Properties in these markets are being specifically designed to accommodate both family use and high-end rental guests, with features that enhance privacy and functionality for both scenarios.

Design Trends Emphasize Functionality and Privacy

Design trends emphasize self-contained guest wings, durable finishes, and privacy zoning. Contemporary luxury estates are incorporating architectural elements that create distinct living zones. Self-contained guest wings feature separate entrances, full kitchens, and dedicated outdoor spaces, ensuring complete independence for rental guests while preserving the main residence’s privacy.

Durable finishes have become essential in these dual-purpose properties. Natural stone flooring, commercial-grade appliances, and weather-resistant materials ensure that homes can withstand frequent use while maintaining their luxury appeal. Privacy zoning extends beyond interior layouts to include landscaping and outdoor spaces, with strategic placement of gardens, pools, and entertainment areas that can be enjoyed separately or together depending on the property’s current use.

Smart home technology plays a crucial role in these designs, allowing owners to monitor and control various systems remotely. Automated lighting, climate control, and security systems enable seamless transitions between personal and rental use, while high-speed connectivity throughout the property ensures that both owners and guests can work remotely when needed.

Adaptive Luxury Spaces Meet Modern Demands

The modern luxury home isn’t static — it’s a space that adapts to lifestyle and opportunity. Today’s buyers understand that flexibility enhances both enjoyment and value. Properties are being designed with convertible spaces that can serve multiple functions: home offices that transform into guest bedrooms, entertainment areas that can be sectioned off for privacy, and outdoor kitchens that accommodate both intimate family gatherings and larger rental guest events.

This adaptability extends to seasonal considerations as well. Properties in four-season markets feature design elements that maximize appeal year-round, from heated outdoor spaces and covered entertainment areas to flexible storage solutions that accommodate seasonal equipment and furnishings. The most successful properties in this market segment offer experiences that feel distinctly different throughout the year, ensuring strong rental demand across multiple seasons.

Smart Design Creates Refined Investment Returns

Smart design turns every home into a refined, rewarding investment. The most successful luxury properties in today’s market combine thoughtful architecture with strategic business planning, creating assets that appreciate in value while generating meaningful income. Properties designed with rental flexibility typically see higher returns than traditional luxury homes, while maintaining their appeal as personal retreats.

The key lies in creating spaces that feel authentically luxurious regardless of their current use. When homeowners can seamlessly transition their property between personal sanctuary and premium rental, they maximize both lifestyle enjoyment and financial return.

Inside the custom newly built home is light & airy throughout with plenty of storage featuring one-level living at it’s finest!

Attention to detail in every choice from the lighting to the woodwork, excellent craftsmanship and decor/design is noticeable. Cubbies off the oversized attached garage for convenience plus large laundry room near primary bedroom suite that will leave you speechless! 3 additional bedrooms, a spacious bathroom and bonus sun/play room on the other wing of the house will be appreciated along with many extras such as walk-in pantry, barrel sauna & more!

Minnesota’s Lakefront Estates:

MAXIMIZING YEAR-ROUND APPEAL

Minnesota’s lakefront homes have evolved far beyond seasonal retreats, becoming year-round havens that embrace the state’s dramatic seasonal changes rather than merely enduring them. When snow blankets the landscape and lakes freeze into mirror-like surfaces, these properties transform into intimate retreats that celebrate Minnesota’s winter beauty. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame snow-laden pine trees and frozen lake vistas, creating living artwork that changes with each snowfall. The contrast between warm, luxurious interiors and the stark beauty outside creates an atmosphere of refined comfort.

BUYERS SEEK ALL-SEASON APPEAL ON PREMIER LAKES

Today’s discerning buyers focus their attention on Lake Minnetonka, Gull Lake, and the North Shore, specifically seeking properties with comprehensive all-season functionality. These locations have established themselves as Minnesota’s premier lakefront destinations, each offering distinct advantages for year-round living. Lake Minnetonka properties command attention for their proximity to the Twin Cities while maintaining an exclusive resort-like atmosphere. Gull Lake attracts buyers seeking a more intimate setting with excellent winter recreation access, while North Shore estates offer dramatic Lake Superior vistas and four-season outdoor adventure opportunities.

PREMIUM FEATURES DEFINE THE MODERN LAKEFRONT MARKET

The current market showcases properties where heated decks, all-glass great rooms, and private docks represent just the beginning of sophisticated amenities. Many high-end lakefront homes now feature heated outdoor spaces, extending the usability of decks during colder months.

All-glass great rooms serve as the architectural heart of these estates, maximizing natural light during shorter winter days while providing unobstructed views of seasonal transformations. Advanced glazing technology ensures these expansive windows provide insulation efficiency while maintaining crystal-clear sightlines. Private docks equipped with heating systems and weather protection allow for winter boat storage and create unique vantage points for ice fishing and winter photography.

Additional features driving market demand include radiant floor heating throughout main living areas, wine cellars positioned to take advantage of natural ground cooling, and spa-like primary suites with heated bathroom floors and steam showers. Many properties now incorporate dedicated mudrooms with heated storage for winter gear, ensuring the transition from outdoor winter activities to interior comfort remains seamless and elegant.

YEAR-ROUND USABILITY DRIVES PREMIUM VALUES

The emphasis on year-round usability reflects broader lifestyle trends prioritizing wellness and consistent nature access. Properties that successfully integrate these elements command significant premiums above comparable seasonaluse homes. Buyers increasingly view their lakefront investment as a primary residence rather than a vacation property, demanding the same level of comfort and functionality they expect from urban luxury homes.

This shift toward permanent lakefront living has elevated the importance of practical winter features alongside aesthetic considerations. Homes with thoughtfully designed year-round features may achieve higher market appeal and value compared with seasonal-use properties. The integration of smart home technology allows residents to monitor and adjust heating, lighting, and security systems remotely, ensuring properties remain comfortable and secure during extended winter periods.
