Life Rich. House Happy...

Having lived in many Minnesota communities throughout my life, I’ve come to appreciate how each place is both unique and familiar—whether it’s just around the corner or miles away. No matter where I live or work, one thing remains constant: my commitment to helping friends, neighbors, and family find not just a house, but a home. “Life Rich ~ House Happy.”

 

The North Star Difference…

I am proud to be a part of North Star Pro Realty in Buffalo. We believe that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s a major life step. That’s why our team works together to provide you with support and expertise throughout the entire process.

 

About Me...

Family and friends are at the heart of everything I do. I’m blessed with three amazing children that were raised in Buffalo and who now have wonderful families of their own—Andy and Sheila, who are raising six children in Buffalo, MN; Paul and Amber, with their five children in Sandy, Utah; and Rachel and Aaron, who are raising one of my grandsons in Ramsey, MN. 

Over the years, I’ve honed my skills not only in real estate but also in home renovation - not just the design and decorating type, but the water in the basement, rotten floorboards, bowed basement walls, the impossible 30-year tile, and my personal favorite...the bathroom tub that was sinking on one corner and supported by SPRAY FOAM! Those experiences do make for some great stories and conversations! I now live in a friendly neighborhood - and of course my current project :) - in Coon Rapids.
