I am a long time resident of the North Branch-Cambridge area.  I grew up on the farm and understand the rural needs of my clients.  I also have a business background and I am the Owner/ Broker of Whispering Pines Realty.  Along with myself, my agents are devoted to helping their clients fill their needs and not the agents need for a sale.  My office has a wide range of background with it's agent base and we will tailor and agent to fit your needs, be it recreational, residential, business or anything in-between.  Call us and let us be of service to YOU!

Farm, both hobby and Full scale including Dairy,I grew up on the farm which included all facets of farm living. I am familiar with Dairy, Beef and Hogs.  I am also versed in the horse setup of today's "Hobby Farmer".  There are many areas of farming and some do not include animals. 

 Recreational, from hiking to fishing and hunting.  Being an avid outdoorsman since early childhood, I have an appriciation for nature and the outdoors.  Just like farming, there are many different aspects of hunting.   Deer Hunting is my main pasion, but bird and varmit come into play often also.  I understand the need for good hunting as for numbers, or, the local and habitat for the more challanging Trophy.  Land birds   are different from Waterfowl.  Some of my clients want a mixed bag oppurtunity and we can tailor a purchase to include most any situation.

Retail business and mfg.  The commercial end of Real Estate can be the most challenging.  There are so many different needs which can change in a heartbeat.  Same goes for Retail.  I was a Assistant manager in a small company, and so I understand the need of space being appropriate for the type of opperation.  I owned a retail store for 16 years and seen how inventories change over periods of time.  There is a need to be able to be flexable to the next trend.  I work with  clients thatwant to pruchase and who prefer to lease.

 1031 tax exchange is one of the most misunderstood of Real Estate Transactions.  In simple terms, it allows you to seel one property and buy a different, and some times several, properties without paying any taxes on the sale.  The KEY to thsis is working with a knowledgeable agents and an exchange party that knows all the ins and outs.  This is not a time to use someone that says "Oh sure I think we can do those"!   I have personally done 7 transactions and another 12, some multiple, additional client exchanges.

 Large land sales and developement.  If you were blessed or a smart investment, I have and still do work with several developement companies that specialize in the development for housing and business needs.  These developers take pride in what they are doing with the land.  If you are looking to sell a parcel of any size, let us help keep some of the integrity of the land.  A 1031 exchange may be the key to finacial freedom also!

The majority of our clients are people like ourselves looking for a home, either that once in a lifetime dream, or the 1st time buyer.  There are many concerns that each and everyone have. Location, financing, enjoyment of the property are just a few.  Let myself and group of associates help you in the best way possible for you, as you look for you dream home!

Mpls/St. Paul magazines listed myself as "Super Real Estate Agent"  a designation that the magazine makes from referrals of my peers.  I had that Designation for 2005 and 2006.  I was the only agent from the North Branch area ( according to my clients ) that was listed for either year.  Working with the public, also known as friends, is very rewarding in that I meet many great people. I am the choise of most the members of my small church, and of several other small organizations I belong to, because they know I will treat them like I want to be treated.  Other testimonials can be seen by direct request, as most of my clients do not wish to be over loaded with calls.   Thank You for your understanding.   Please visit our web site and search the MLS yourself!   Please check the Minnestota Better Business Bureau for our record!  Our Motto "Our Goal is to meet Your Needs"  Check us out.

Even though Bill did not sell my place  in this very difficult market, I will be re-listing with him when I try again I always new what was happening throughout the process.  Keep up the good work, Bill.

Bill kept everything light hearted.  It took off the stress. But, he was all business when it counted.  Steve B. from Roseville.

I was so lucky to have found Bill for an agent.  He understood the my needs and my ability in being able to maintain the property i was looking for.  Thanks Bill.
