fall 2010

Changing seasons Wow... where did the summer go? Labor Day has come and gone, kids are back in school and it’s getting darker earlier and earlier. Hello fall! What a great time of year. Cool nights, crisp clean air and autumn colors that will always bring you a smile.

2010 has been a great year for our company. Our closed sales are up 25% from this time last year. The foreclosure market is still leading the pack for sales. Securing contracts with some of the major foreclosure management companies put us in position to handle a large number of

bank owned homes in the western Wright County area extending into Meeker County as well. (Because of how quick they move we keep the majority of our foreclosed properties out of this portfolio – call for a current list). You will see within these pages that the heart of our business is where it has been for 36 years...working with local buyers and sellers. This edition is packed full of some of the finest opportunities in the Heart of the Lakes with many new listings and late season values worth taking a second look at.

We hope you take time and enjoy this beautiful area during throughout the fall. You’ll find a list of some area events inside. Please stop in our offices and say hello when you’re out and about!
