The temperatures in the Minneapolis/St Paul metro won't be breaking any records this week but Minnesotan's will undoubtedly be breaking out the shorts (and dare I say, flip flops) as the thermometer edges close to 70. It won't be long before the huge sheets of ice blanketing the surface of our 10,000+ lakes will drop. Ice out is when the ice finally drops to the bottom of the lake and in Minnesota that is when the people take start taking steps toward making their lake home dreams a reality.
If you have been contemplating life on one of Minnesota’s 10,000 … (2 comments)

lakeshore realtor: Drought is History! Will MN Lakeshore Prices Rise with Lake Levels?
- 08/13/10 05:18 AM
As we prepare for another round of potential thunderstorms this morning, I began to wonder how this summer’s rainstorm after rainstorm has affected the drought conditions that have been plaguing Minnesota for several years. It is no secret to anyone living in the area that the 10,000+ Minnesota lake levels have been low over the past few years as we watched docks get longer to reach the water at lakes throughout the state. There was more than one local news report over the past few years warning boaters to be cautious when touring local lakes for underwater hazards due to low … (2 comments)
lakeshore realtor: Ham Lake, MN Real Estate Market Statistics 1st Quarter 2010
- 04/15/10 03:36 AM
The City of Ham Lake has a rich history. Incorporated in 1974, Ham Lake became a city after over a hundred years of humble but steady growth. The area was first settled in 1855 by a group of Scottish men on the southwest side of Ham Lake. Though, I can only assume that the lake itself got its name due to its unusual “ham hock” shape, the community started out with a different name. The original name of the community was Glen Carey, which is the Scottish translation of “beautiful valley”. Following a prairie fire in 1857, the first settlers … (0 comments)

lakeshore realtor: Testimonials--Is there Any Better Reward for a Job Well Done?
- 04/15/09 10:05 AM
This afternoon I had an email hit my BlackBerry while I was eating lunch. It was from a past client that I had helped find a home in January. They had told me they were please with my service but sometimes the testimonials from clients just blow me away. A little background....Cheri and Denny called me just after the new year when I was trying to sort out my transfer from my previous broker to RE/MAX. The call came in on a Friday evening. They were out to dinner and discussing a few houses they had seen online and just as they … (18 comments)

lakeshore realtor: Foreclosures on Lakeshore and Acreage in Anoka County that YOU will WANT to call home!
- 04/05/09 05:15 AM
When someone says foreclosure, bank-owned or short sale, what do you expect to see? The proverbial money-pit? Remember that old 80's movie where everything fell apart and one repair evolved humorously into a huge renovation? Are bank-owned properties, homes that take thousands upon thousands to repair? Will walking in the house require wearing a hazmat protective suit just to walk through the door? Believe it or not, the answer is no in many cases. Today's foreclosures can be simply AWESOME! This economy has forced builders and responsible homeowners alike to let amazing properties go back to the bank. Many are still … (34 comments)
