bob timm: Don't Miss The ND State Fair Parade
- 06/29/16 12:35 AM
New to Minot? You don't want to miss the ND State Parade.
The ND State Fair Parade is held the 1st Saturday of The State Fair.
This is the only parade held in Minot ND and it is huge. If you want a good seat to watch from you need to set up early. I, and many others actually set up the night before the parade by parking our vehicles along the route where we want to sit.
By 8:00 AM you will be lucky to find a good shady spot. If you wait till 9:00 you will most likely find yourself parking blocks … (2 comments)

bob timm: Townhouse above the Beautiful Puppy Dog Coulee
- 06/27/16 10:53 PM
Our Newest Listing
This Townhouse is located atop the beautiful Puppy Dog Coulee in SE Minot. Great views and a excellent location with easy access to shopping, dining, recreation, and more. There are tons of features to this home but my favorite is the view, followed by it's proximity to my favorite store, Menards and to the church I attend.
More pictures and an interior walk through to come. A deep cleaning and de-cluttering of the home is scheduled as well as some floor coverings to be replaced.

bob timm: 6 Months Till Christmas... TODAY!
- 06/25/16 12:47 AM
My son has a Christmas Countdown Calendar
but I confess that the on 25th of every month I take note of how many months to Christmas.
If you are just now contimplating purchasing a home and wanting to be in by Christmas you need to get on the stick NOW!
Your first step is to go to a lender and see what you can borrow. Banks, Credit Unions, and Mortgage Brokers each have slightly different lending rules they must follow so I recommend you check with one of each. Find out how much money you need to "have down" to obtain your home. If … (9 comments)

bob timm: My Two Biggest Regrets, part 1 of 2
- 07/03/15 01:47 AM
My Two Biggest Regrets, part 1
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that looks back and reflects upon some of the life choices I’ve made and one or several of those choices come to the forefront of regrets. At the age of 61 I can think of several bad choices but two of those decisions stand out. They are related and the Fourth Of July reminds me of them.
I was a rebel without a clue in my teens (actually I was rebelling against my father who was a work-a-holic who had no time for me). I was constantly being warned … (25 comments)

IT'S GOOD TO BE THE BOSS....
....Once In A While.
There are a whole lot of little things about being the Boss that helps even out the BIG pain in the behind stuff that goes with being the Boss. While I don't actually have any "employees" in my office I do supervise other agents and contracted helpers. I get to pick the radio station (always KFYR Christian Radio) and I get to decorate the office to my liking. I like Christmas, and my office screams Christmas this time of year. Happy Holidays may be fine but as a Christian I … (4 comments)

TIME TO SHRED
I was cleaning out an old file cabinet left behind from the previous owner of the company and thinking... what am I going to do with this stuff? These were not sensitive customer files, just plat maps and development information collected by the previous owner, a property appraiser.
I could have spent hours going through each file looking for info I may or may not use.... some day.... but I'm opting to just get rid of the clutter. Just in case there is some personal information in there I'm going to take the paper to a recycling … (10 comments)

It's time for "THE GREAT TOMATO FESTIVAL"
Actually I'm almost late in posting this being the Festival is tomorrow, August 13th from 5:30 PM til 10:00 PM. I love this event. First of all it benefits several good causes, including The Minot Public Library (which my best friend is in charge of). I also love the event because it's a time I get to serve others (literally as I usually wait tables for the event), and maybe most important of all it's a big reminder to me that my anniversary is just a few days away and I better do … (5 comments)

bob timm: A GOOD WOMAN
- 07/28/14 06:35 AM
A GOOD WOMAN
The world lost a VERY good woman this weekend with the passing of my mother-in-law Kathryn Yoder. Katheryn passed on after a brief battle with liver cancer. She was 87 years young.
In the 17 years I knew Kathryn I never saw her angry and I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She even thought her son-in-law was a good guy. I was always amazed at her open hospitality as there was always room for someone who needed a place to stay or needed a warm meal. She was always willing to give … (7 comments)

Oh Baby! I found THE Spot.
If you are a camper and/or live in a rural State you know how important it is to find "The Spot". Usually if you are camping in a remote area somebody has found "The Spot" before you and is happy to tell you where "The Spot" is.
You don't get much more remote than our church camp, Shepherds Hill At The Crossroads just out of St. John ND.
I thought I came equipt for a Realtor vacation, cell phone, netbook, mobile hot spot, etc. etc.. I didn't expect the place to be so isolated … (8 comments)

SOME TIMES YOU JUST GET LUCKY
Meet Jared Salwei, my new Agent.
Some times you just get lucky and that's exactly what happened to me a month ago when Jared Salwei came knocking on my door wondering if he could become a Real Estate Slaesperson with National Marketing Realtors.
Jared has extensive retail management experience, working on a law degree, experience in land easements, and on and on. Most important is Jared Salwei has drive, lots and lots of drive. Watch for Jared to be in the next issue of Realtor Magazine's 30 under 30. That's just one of his goals. … (8 comments)

SMALL TOWN LIVING IN VELVA ND 58790
Living in Boomtown isn't for everyone. Everything, or should I say every town, West of Minot ND is Boomtown. That would even include a few, 5 or 10, miles to the East of Minot. In an impossible efort to keep up on what's new in the Minot area I took a road trip East of Minot on Hiway 52. This had always been an area very slow to develop, only old timers had heard of "Valley Vegitable", a mom & pop vegitable stand 5 miles or so East of Minot.
Well even though I … (4 comments)

Why Not Minot?
When I made this little video a few minutes ago I was surprised that there were so many videos with the same title on You Tube. Good quality videos. Mine is not. I actually made this video just to see if I could make a video.
OK, hope this works. If not I will remove it in a jiffy.
I can NOT seem to get the player to come up BUT if you click on the fellow above you will see my video.
