Although the foregoing data has been compiled from sources deemed reliable, Oak Realty LLP does not guarantee its authenticity. It is intended for informational purposes only, is subject to prior sale, omission, error, revision and cancellation without notice, and should be independently verified with the source of such information.

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.

Seriously Local

because we embrace the Heart of the Lakes

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 use-

ful 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 and the

Chili Cook-Off, among many others. We also join in to support other surrounding communities in their celebrations as well.

Est. 1956

Mares Excavating was started by Bernard Mares back in 1956. Over the years the equipment, services and family members in the business have grown. As young boys, sons Ron and Larry were essential in making the business thrive. Ron took over the business in 1979. Ron’s son Nick started as an apprentice as soon as he was able to carry a shovel.

Nick officially joined the business in 1999. Mares Excavating is now in its third generation with Nick’s son Mason (age 11) learning the ropes and running equipment.

In 2004 a whole new business venture began because Steve and his son, JT, enjoyed playing paintball in the woods as a father and son. They thought that being able to provide a playing facility for others would be important. They knew that not everyone had a place or the gear to play. Over the years they have been a part of birthday parties, church outings, team building, school activity days, bachelor/bachelorette parties and family gatherings. Steve and JT have been extremely fortunate to be a part of these special moments. Some of their customers have been a father and son, just like them!

Est. 2004

The quality of a father can be seen in the goals and dreams he sets not only for himself, but for his family.

ANNANDALE PUBLIC LIBRARY

You're Off to Great Places As you turn the pages and feel them between your fingers, they certainly bring you to another place...a journey through words.

That's when you know you picked a good book! It all started here, in a library, with your nose in a book. You learned how to read here. Can you remember the smell? The feel? Do you recall your first book or your favorite book? How its corners were

bent and a page or two a bit ripped? It may be a less visited place nowadays, but many people still like opening up a book and can be reminded where they left off last with a good ol' bookmark.

The Annandale Public Library, a part of the Great River Regional Library, is the perfect place to visit when cabin fever sets

in this winter and is an ideal destination any time of the year. Stop by and enjoy many free programs including; the adult/teen

winter reading program ( January-February), the summer reading program for ages 0-17 ( June-August), summer storytime,

outdoor storytime, 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, live music, art workshops, author visits, magicians, animal programs,

pop-up in-house programs, computer help, educational programing, technology help, Book-A-Librarian, downloadable items, and more! Many of the programs that are offered are Legacy funded but many are locally funded and supported by the Annandale Friends of the Library or the Annandale Improvement Club.

A library is more than just a place where books live. Libraries are an integral part of any community. They provide information, resources and a connection to the world at large. Plan a date night with your kiddo, a board game with a group of friends or a moment of quiet time just for you!

HISTORY Oak Realty was founded in 1974 when Don Bruggeman purchased Daryl Gunnarson Realty, and changed the name to Oak Realty after

its location on Oak Avenue, Annandale’s charmed Main Street. Our

red and white leaf was born and along with it, a tradition of providing quality real estate service in the Heart of the Lakes area.

In 1986 Don’s son Steve joined the business. Opportunities to own lakeshore property were abundant in those days. Lake homes and cabins in

the area ranged from $40,000-$100,000 and real estate companies literally held the keys to their front doors. The Sunday Star Tribune was widely-agreed to be the resource for new listings, and buyers often came through our office door with that ad in hand, eager to look at property.

We expanded into the 90's and outgrew the office on Main Street. In 1996 Oak built a new office with more space and visibility on Highway

55. Steve purchased the business in 2000, and soon after the Internet began to change the industry in profound ways. By 2001 we had our ANGIE BOYER O ff ice Manage r/M a rke t i n g

Angie joined Oak Realty in its Annandale Office in June 2009. She grew up in Annandale

on Clearwater Lake and is raising her family

in her hometown she loves dearly and the place her family has called home their entire lives.

Angie holds an AAS Degree in Advertising Design from Minnesota School of Business

and a Diploma in Graphic Design from Minneapolis Business College. She helps keep all of Oak on the leading edge of technology, she

shares fresh ideas in marketing and advertising,

and keeps our busy office running smoothly.

Angie also manages lakeshore vacation rent-

als through the Oak Realty office. She enjoys

working with such a close-knit group, and for a hometown company where there is opportunity to give back to the community she loves.

In her free time, Angie treasures spending time

with her family, her husband Shawn, daughter Justice and son Chance, labs Sarge and Jack-

son, being active in her children’s activities and relaxing at her parents’ lake home. “I also

enjoy going on motorcycle rides, traveling and camping.” She loves the changing of seasons and the array of colors the Heart of the Lakes

first web site and the fat MLS books were collecting dust in the corner.

Oak Realty acquired Lake Country Properties in neighboring Maple Lake in 2007, our local presence expanded to two offices, and our staff grew again. In 2014 we celebrated a milestone, 40 years in business. The

anniversary also marked a new beginning. Though excited about where

perseverance and hard work has brought the company in its early years, we’re even more excited about what lies ahead.

Our approach to business has changed greatly due to the shift in how

buyers and sellers can obtain information. Over the years, however, the true relationship between agent and client hasn’t changed. Since our

founding over 46 years ago, our success has been carried by our abil-

ity to build long-lasting relationships. Relationships based on honesty, respect and fair business practices. We love taking our customers for a drive through the area and educating them on the various lakes, neigh-

borhoods and their histories. While the majority of today’s buyers (and

sellers) have done research online before speaking to an agent, many are quick to realize there is a lot to learn about this area, and a visit with a local expert is a great place to start.

We are proud to be an innovative company. We enjoy seeking new so-

lutions to bring into our business and have continued to do so as we grow and change. We want tools that help us do our job better and

more efficiently, and systems that help you buy or sell property with

greater confidence. While no one can predict the future, it seems al-

most a certainty that the Heart of the Lakes will continue to retain its warm character and draw new people to its lakes and countryside. For

those that its lifestyle appeals to, (frankly, we wonder how it couldn’t) our friendship and services will be there.
