I have held the record in shoreline sales for many years running in the area due to expertise, honesty and overall familiarity with the eccentricities of the area.  Most of my clientele is referral based, something I am honored to have achieved. Treating everyone honestly and ethically and having fun while doing it is the basis for not only good business, but a good life.  I hike, kayak and photograph anywhere near water from North Branch  to Duluth. Each client is represented to my highest ability, short sales, first time homebuyers and shoreland sellers and buyers each require different advice and skillsets be applied.  Life changing events such as divorce, death, foreclosures can be incredibly stressful.  It helps to have a knowledgeable and compassionate person  on your side...which would  explain the referrals sent to me from local professionals assisting families through these transitions.  I frequently assist  on estates and many times work with appraisers, attornies, county agencies and designated family members to reach agreeable endings to difficult property sales.  It's tough when the family cabin has to go, I get it.  Trust is what the real estate contract needs to be based on. You won't see me on billboards or newspaper spreads proclaiming my incredible prowess..you will find me on the hiking trails or kayaking the lakes or rivers, absorbing the beauty of the of the outdoor regions that I love to share..it's not a job, it's a lifestyle that recognizes honest effort with the  great reward of lifelong relationships..I welcome the chance to journey with you a while.
