I love Lakeville, Minnesota because... great education parks and trails small enough to have my own mechanic shop, ice cream place, church, and theatre big enough to have Target, restaraunts, grocery stores nearby newly developed, very clean pride of the city and residents lakes wonderful neighbors low crime great involvement with parents and kids family friendly Lakeville is a wonderful place to purchase a home and raise a family! Before the market took a down turn many buyers would have thought that Lakeville was too pricey of a place to move and live. Now there are many affordable homes and townhomes. Lakeville was on the top ten places to live for many great reasons as I mentioned above. If you are looking to re-locate or buy your first home, Lakeville should be a consideration!

We had two big, nasty storm systems come through the Minneapolis / St. Paul area in the last week. They were pretty much expected. Our temps were over 90°F, and the humidity was just about as high. It felt more like summer in New Orleans instead of Minnesota. Last night was the 2nd episode where I live (Lakeville, MN), and we had a full hour to get ready for a line of storms that was producing spotty tornadoes here and there. Thankfully, we have a concrete crawlspace under the kitchen reinforced with steel beams (a 20'x40' space about 3' high). That's where we head when it gets rough outside. Last night we were just fine. By the time it got to us, it was just heavy rain and 50 MPH winds. But what if we'd been hit, and had to walk through the wreckage after it was all clear? Here are a f...

The topic of relisting a home surfaced last night on ABC's Nightline, of all places. The agent in the story, as part of his normal listing process, said he cancels and relists his listings when they reach 70 days.  Of course, when a buyer zeroes in on a particular house, a good buyer's agent researches as much as possible about the home, including how long the home has REALLY been on the market. It's just part of due diligence. When my buyers get serious about a property, I research and report to my buyer:When was the home first listed? (sometimes it has been on and off the market for longer than a year)What was the starting price?How often are they just relisting, with or without a price change?Why is this important? Because the history tells me lots of things:The longer the home has b...

My mother broke her hip the Friday before Christmas, and had surgery to replace it the next day. This was quite a shock to her....at 83 she stands tall, works out daily, prunes her own trees, lays sod (yes, really!) and you have to pry her off their Harley trike.Mom and Dad live in Texas, and my husband and I live in Minnesota. We were planning to be in Texas for the holidays anyway, and I wasn't too worried about an avalanche of client inquiries over Christmas. I packed all my equipment and felt pretty much like I could handle things remotely.Now that I'm going on my 3rd week here, I've had a chance to test my "road worthiness." I've been a road warrior for years -- I am fairly well set up to do business anywhere. (As REALTORS we have to be.)  Still, see if you notice what's missing fr...
