As a company, there are a few things that we
believe
EDUCATION FIRST
Our focus in every working relationship is on educating our buyers and sellers to the very best of our ability. If you are well educated, we believe you will feel comfortable with the sales process and be prepared to make the best decisions for yourself.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MATTERS
We know the neighborhoods, woods, roads and water. How is the fishing? What length would the school bus ride be? Is this road plowed in the winter? There are thousands of good questions. Your agent will have answers.
RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT
We maintain strong relationships with service providers in our area that you may need in your purchase or sale. This assures you that you will have quality answers and solutions when questions or an unexpected problem arise.
TEAMWORK IS ESSENTIAL
Our agents are independent, but are supported by the whole of the office. We believe that working together impacts our service in a powerful way. When we help each other out, we are able to better serve our customers and clients.
NEGOTIATION IS KEY
Putting an offer on the table as a buyer, or reviewing an offer that is being presented to you, is a pivotal moment in any search or sale. Guidance that is clear, informative, and sincere is important. Our agents will take you through each step with your best interest in mind.
WE ARE A MARKETING COMPANY
We are driven by creativity, excellence and innovation. Advertising should be smart and targeted. One checklist does not apply to all, so expect a plan that is customized to your one-of-a-kind property! Beware, we love to talk marketing!
THIS SHOULD BE FUN
We don’t deny that buying and selling real estate can be among the most important decisions you will make, but we hope it will be fun too. We are privileged to be your guide, and hope that in the end, it is a road you will be glad you traveled.

OUR ROOTS START HERE
At the heart of who we are, and why we all love what we do, is the Annandale area itself. The Heart of the Lakes, as it has long been called, is a wonderful lake country area that attracts young families and retirees. Many who once vacationed here now live here full time, and it’s no wonder why. It’s a charming small town with great schools and endless recreation. It is important to us that we surpass being just knowledgeable of the area, and that we also provide you with service that goes above and beyond. As clients of ours, you will be treated like a neighbor... because you are. There are a couple of things at the core of what “Seriously Local” means:
NICHE MARKETING
Our focus is here. We know the local market, and its history, extremely well. If you’re looking at property and want to know specifics about fishing or a local school bus route, we have your answers. If you’re selling, these are things your buyer will want to know about too. As an independently-owned office, we make all of our own decisions, and at the heart of those decisions are what is best for serving our clients and the community.
LOCALLY-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY
We won’t adopt a tool or system just to impress you, but we will implement technology that makes sense for you as a buyer or seller. For that reason our web site, www.oakrealtymn.com, is useful and full of local information. It offers quick links to area lakes, a fantastic map search, and upcoming open house information. Our daily hot list is a favorite, and the only resource of its kind for immediate updates solely on the Heart of the Lakes market.
HEART FOR THE COMMUNITY
This area is much more than the place we work. We are all active in the community, from various non-profit/civic groups to lake associations, schools and churches. We love participating in local traditions like Annandale’s historic 4th of July parade, Maple Lake St. Patrick's Day Parade, Clearwater Heritage Days Parade, Annandale Expo among many others. We also join in to support other surrounding communities in their celebrations as well.
Seriously Local
