 There is and will continue to be so much to cloud the mind as we look into the coming year for the real estate market. One thing to for sure mention is that national financial reports are rarely accurate and reflect what is happening in Minnesota. The 2023 predictions for the Twin Cities real estate market are far more positive than a number of metro area's around the US. So, my suggestion is to watch a little less "Bad News" TV, and explore the actual real, relevant, and local data before you make buying or selling decisions.From the greater financial world, their opinions of the MSP market are overall stable-ish at the worst. The most pessimistic (backed up with data) forecasting was from "data guru" Marco Santarelli with Norada Real Estate. He does forecasting for investment bankers... 01/11/2023

The Minneapolis/St. Paul real estate market is one of the fastest-growing in the nation. As demand for housing grows, the average value of Minneapolis homes has increased by 5.7% over the past year. Minneapolis real estate agents will be competing with other real estate brokers for the attention of potential sellers. One of the most important ways a Minneapolis real estate agent can differentiate themselves from the competition is by conducting a thorough comparative market analysis.  What is a Comparative Market Analysis? A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is how real estate professionals price a property. This analysis is based on similar homes in the current market. These properties are either recently sold or currently for sale. CMAs utilize various data and comparison points to ev... 03/10/2022

Homeownership in the Twin Cities Over the past two years, we have learned to love our Twin Cities homes a lot more as we have stayed at home more than ever due to the ongoing pandemic. Because of this, the individual and psychological advantages our residences provide have come to be even more crucial to us. When the wellness dilemma started, the globe around us altered almost overnight, as well as our homes were redefined. Our demands moved, and our shelters became an area that protected us to a whole new degree. I think that is what has pushed the demand for homes to such high levels. The more people are home, the more they realize what they want in their space. If you are looking for a new space or want to sell your current space, discussing this with a Top Twin Cities Real Estate Ag... 02/14/2022

Why Won't Some Clients Respond to an Electronic Signature Request?Here's something that puzzles me to no end. I have clients who will open a DocuSign email request, read it, and then simply ignore it. Why?Virtually all of the documents I sent out for electronic signatures from the recipient are contract documents. I tell my clients, "Please check your email inbox for one or more requests for your signature and date on an important document". Why would a would-be party to a transaction want to open a document, read it and then ignore it? I've tried placing stuff like "URGENT" or "SIGN AND RETURN IMMEDIATELY" in the subject line of these messages, but those efforts seem to have no effect on recipientsIf you have any tricks or advice that might induce an electronic signature recipient to w... 11/03/2021

Remote work has become increasingly popular. According to a survey, about one out of four Americans worked from home in 2021. If you want to join the ranks of remote workers or if you own a small business, it's time to think about your home office. When you need a new or upgraded workspace, you have three options: create a space for work, build an addition, or expand to a bigger place. What to Do Without a Home OfficeNot everyone has the extra room for a home office. Some remote workers choose to convert the dining room into an office or place a desk behind the floating sofa. They may take an empty closet, remove the doors, and place a desk within it to create a makeshift office. There's no limit on what you can convert into a home office with the right amount of creativity and ingenuit... 09/10/2021

Over the past 18 months, many hardworking people and businesses have suffered economic losses through no fault of their own.  Some have failed to file tax returns or even pay their taxes.  During the pandemic, the IRS temporarily ceased collection activity.  Due to increased funding and a need to pay for some government actions, the IRS is ramping up their collection efforts.  Using a myriad of techniques including artificial intelligence (AI), the IRS is identifying and pursuing high income (over $100,000 income) non-filers. The IRS is a collection agency, they have many tools at their disposal, the most effective of which are liens and levies.   So, what happens when your client’s assets are encumbered by a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, and they want to sell their house?Take a deep brea... 07/22/2021

I represent taxpayers in Minneapolis, Minnesota and all the 50 States in the United State before all administrative levels—examination, collection, and appeals—of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).If a taxpayer owes money to the IRS, there is already a tax lien against them and all their assets, including those assets they acquire in the future.  The IRS often files a public notice to let all other creditors know that money will be paid to the IRS first, and that other unsecured creditors will be behind the IRS in priority. This filing is referred to as a Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL), which is a public document filed to alert third parties that the taxpayer owes the IRS money.There are few options to get a lien remove so that a taxpayer you can their sell your home or refinance ev... 03/15/2021
