national marketing realtors: Movie and Movie THEATER Review - 09/05/17 06:20 AM

Last night was my first trip back to The Oak Park Theater which recently reopened after the 2011 flood had destroyed it. Prior to the flood my office occupied the front Right hand corner of the Oak Park Theater building. It was GREAT!
My hats off to Alan Schon and many others who were behind the reopening of The Oak Park Theater. The theater is BETTER then it had ever been and Al Schon has seen that it has stuck to it's mission of providing AFFORDABLE FAMILY entertainment by showing second run movies for the very affordable ticket price of $3.00 for … (13 comments)

national marketing realtors: Harvey Keeps Reminding Me Of The Past... - 09/03/17 05:59 PM
... and what those in Huston can expect in their immediate future.
The scene to the left was repeated three times before we had completely cleaned out the debris of our home home and then there was the "gutting" of the home it self (the only part of our home salvaged at all was the studs and the roof. Not to mention that our flood covered the ground for an entire month thus almost all vegetation was destroyed except the largest of trees).
A few things Hustonites can expect:
1) A lot of help from friends and if you are the member of a faith group (church) you can … (3 comments)

There were 11 homes sold in this very narrow category of stick built, single family homes located in the City limits of Minot compared to 7 last week (NICE!).

Over all homes sold  faster and for a little less money per square foot this week.

national marketing realtors: My M & M Photo Walk - 08/31/17 06:10 PM
Max and His Master
Three month old Max may have been on a leash but he was in charge of his 10 year old master. Max is a purebread Beagle and he hails from Fargo but has found a loving home here in Minot. Lucky for Max he lives in easy walking distance from Roosevelt Park where he can run free (on a leash that is).

national marketing realtors: Rippin Up Corbett Field - 08/26/17 12:47 PM
Historic Corbett Field in Minot ND is getting a "Make-Over". They have been busy today removing the grass which in turn will soon lead to a new artificial surface.
I can't say that I'm a sports or baseball "geek" but I have to say I'm sorry to see the sod go... for several reasons. 
1) Baseball should not have a perfect surface, I remember balls taking funny hops many times when I was a boy.
2) I'm going to miss seeing the sprinklers do their work (I live across the street).
3) I'm going to miss Mike, the grounds keeper and all the good visits … (10 comments)

national marketing realtors: It's A Seller's Market... Is Your Price The Reason Your Home Hasn't Sold? - 08/23/17 11:29 AM
This insight from my Best Active Friend Forever, Nina Hollander  holds true in ANY market, not just a Sellers market. In a Buyers market where home prices have dropped dramatically (as they have in Minot ND) you have to accept the fact you may not only NOT break even from what you purchased you home for in 2012 but that you may even loose money on the sale of your home. You can ease the pain by remembering that had you rented instead of buying you would have spent several thousands of dollars in rent that you would never see again. At … (8 comments)

national marketing realtors: Spacious 3 Bedroom Condo in Minot's NW Lakeside Addition - 08/22/17 12:38 PM

Talk about SWEET this condo has two of them (Bedroom Suites that is). The main level Master Bedroom Suite is plenty BIG but the lower level is HUGE at 23' X 16' (368 square feet) not counting the bath.
You don't get much more "open" then this floor plan.
Plenty of room in the Family Room
Nice large deck with automatic awning.
Reasonably priced at $240,000.

national marketing realtors: It's A Peach For The Right Pear, Small Town Living - 08/21/17 05:01 PM
The pear tree pictured above is on this peach of a property in Butte ND (there is also a great producing apple tree so be ready to be tempted to buy).
Butte is a great place to raise your kids with small town values and where everyone is your friend. Butte is also a great place to slow down to and get away from the big city rat race. You couldn't ask for a better "Hunters Paradise" then Butte as well PLUS it's close to good fishing on many near by lakes! Corner lot, triple garage and inexpensive to heat with a propane boiler … (12 comments)

national marketing realtors: Finally, I Can Enjoy This Mornings Sunrise - 08/17/17 06:42 PM

This has kind of been the week of heck for me. I won't bore you with all the details but today was the day that the Real Estate Commission visited every Minot ND office and poured over our files and RETA accounts.
Well, the audit went pretty good, doesn't look like any fines will be in order. It was a part of a tough last two weeks but not the very worst of it.
When I saw this Red Sunrise this morning I just could not be to busy to ignore it.
Yes, it really was that red. I did not use any filters or … (13 comments)

national marketing realtors: 3301 15th Street SE Minot For Sale - 08/07/17 11:52 AM

The Woodside Addition in South Minot is one of Minot's newest and most sought after additions in Minot (Often called "The New Country Club Addition because of it's close proximity to the New Minot Country Club). This home is just two blocks away from John Hoeven Elementary School (Minot's newest elementary school) so your little ones will have a safe, short trip to school. The split foyer design gives you a large open floor plan upstairs letting guests and hosts visit between the kitchen, dining, living room and even the wonderful upper level deck that overlooks the neighborhood. Also on the … (14 comments)

national marketing realtors: My Photo Walk - 08/03/17 07:19 PM

Just a couple of shots from my photo walk today.
The clouds were perfect today, all day. I would have loved to have taken the day off and just layed on my back shooting pictures of the clouds.
I also liked these delicate little flowers that were growing on a trellis in the park (Roosevelt Park).

national marketing realtors: The Town Pump - 08/03/17 06:40 PM

I'm in my 60's and I've seen a few of these pumps but even as a kid this was an old pump. This one is located on a rural listing and is still in use. It was fun to see along with a few other historic items and a few deer that were roaming the property.

national marketing realtors: Realtor, Realtor Have You Any AC.... or Compassion? - 08/03/17 05:35 PM

Until yesterday we have been experiencing a very hot spell here in North Dakota. A single mother with 3 teenage boys reached out to me by asking if I knew of anyone with a used air conditioner they may sell cheap or give away.
When I managed rental units I always had a couple of window air conditioners laying around because tenants would just leave them on a regular basis but that was years ago and I had none left. So I put out a call to all Real Estate agents in Minot ND (about 200 of them) knowing that many of … (10 comments)
