minnesota lakeshore: The Dangers of a Perfectly Mowed Lakeshore
- 10/06/07 05:33 PM
As some of you know, (and some of you don't) I am engaged to Nick Solomon from IMPACK 6 Joint Powers Board. He is the vegetation restoration specialist for Kanabec, Pine, Mille Lacs, Isanti, Chisago, and Aitkin counties. I learn more and more about his duties and cause every day, and I always like to share a little here in blogland. Nick deals primarily with waterfront, restoring the lake shore, designing natural landscaping, and encouraging responsible and healthy lake behavior. He talks a lot about what needs to be done to save our lakes here in Minnesota. They are our pride and … (4 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: Buyer's Market? Not On Knife Lake!
- 06/26/07 12:31 PM
I hear the news, and I know what everyone thinks. I have heard that it's a horrible market, and there is no point in trying to sell your house right now. So I'm using this blog to plea with a few of you, and point out to a few of you the truth in one part of Kanabec County. For those of you who live on Knife Lake, it is a SELLERS MARKET. Yep, you read that right! For example: Last week, on Monday, a property came on the market on Knife Lake. It was priced at 229,900, bank owned, and needed a lot of … (0 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: More on Shoreline Restoration - Why It Is Important to Me
- 06/12/07 07:30 AM
Minnesota is a great state, with great lakes, and great fishing. I love to fish, no doubt about it. I, however, never thought about the environmental aspect of it. One of my favorite conversations with Nick, my fiancee, who asked me to post Shoreland and Streambank Restoration in Isanti, Mille Lacs, Pine, Aitkin, Chisago, and Kanabec Counties, Minnesota on my blog, was one I had not too long ago. We were discussing the fishing on our favorite lake near us (I don't name - I want to keep it to myself!) and even though I act as though I don't know better, I do. "So," … (6 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: My Monthly Newsletter... How I do it.
- 05/07/07 04:26 AM
We got talking about mailings, and I started discussing my newsletter. I've seen comments and blogs from agents who say they are having virtually no response from their mailings. So I wrote a long winded comment on one blog, but thought I would throw it up here, too, just in case someone else was interested. So far it seems to work for me! Living in a rural area, we have newspaper boxes, which I'm sure not all of you have. What I do is make a monthly newsletter, which includes a couple of my listings on the back, a recipie that … (13 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: Before I'm off to showings...
- 05/06/07 02:59 AM
I had a client call me yesterday morning. I had taken yesterday morning off (trust me, it wasn't easy!) because it was garage sale day here in lovely Mora. I live for garage sale day. While garage sale-ing, my cell rings, and it is one of my sellers. I answer "Hi, this is Joslyn" "Hi Joslyn...what are you doing today?" I reply, "Well right now, I'm in town, and I'm on my way to the office to set up some showings." (True) "Really?" "Yes dear, what are you doing?" "Oh, I'm going grocery shopping today. But I don't want to." "Why … (8 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: GoodSearch.com - My New Web Search of Choice!
- 05/02/07 06:02 AM
About six months ago, we adopted a beagle named Shiloh from the Washburn County Animal Humane Society in Spooner, Wisconsin. (Yes, we drove two hours for a dog!!!) Every month I get a newsletter from WCAHS, which I love to read. I would have to say that WCAHS does a great job taking care of the animals and finding fundraisers to keep them going. I have been nothing but impressed, and do everything I can to help them out. While on their site yesterday, downloading "The Scoop" online (cheaper for them if I print it myself rather than having it mailed), … (5 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: What Is It About Duluth???
- 05/01/07 08:42 AM
There is one thing about me that I really don't understand, and can't seem to figure out. I have this horrible addiction to Duluth. Now that snow is gone, I seem to be going through withdrawls. It's like this every year. Every year since I first went up there on my own. I just want to get in my car and drive up there. Worse yet, I want to STAY up there for a while. Just like a mini-break. I find myself wishing I had a place up there. Then I pull up the Duluth MLS, and just make myself more … (1 comments)
minnesota lakeshore: My Opinion of the Real Estate Market
- 04/24/07 07:03 AM
I was SHOCKED the other night, as I'm sure many other people were, when I heard a news anchor on my favorite station say "The real estate market appears to be turning around...." Everyone immediately seems to explode into "How, what, why, when, and who???" Everywhere I go, someone has an opinion on the real estate market. There isn't a day that passes by that someone I know in this small town finds out that I'm now a REALTOR, and says "But isn't it a bad time to go into that???" Well here I am, after more than a year at RE/MAX, … (0 comments)
