signs of a great spring sea son We’ve been publishing the Heart of the Lakes Property Portfolio for a year now, and what a positive response we’ve heard. Thank you to many for supporting it! We hope you’re enjoying each issue. The winter season was a good one in our office, with a handful of lakeshore

properties selling during what turned out to be one of Minnesota’s snowiest winter’s on record. It proves that winter shouldn’t be ignored

when it comes to buying and selling on the lake, or anywhere else for that matter! We talked to numerous folks at the Lake Home & Cabin Show in February who have thought about a vacation home or making a move in recent years but were hesitant, until now. They are simply

tired of waiting. They are smart to take a serious look this year. Interest rates are still low and there are some incredible values in the area both on and off the water. We’re anticipating a succesful spring and summer, and look forward to meeting you along the way.

Enjoy the Spring! Steve (Brugge) Bruggeman, Owner
