Happy St. Patrick's Day!
 
It's time to turn your clocks ahead and spring into a new season! This warmer weather already has us feeling eager to get outside for some gardening, bonfires, and... mosquitoes!? (yes, we've already swatted a few this past weekend)! It's also a great time to open up the windows and dive into that long awaited spring cleaning that we all love so much. 

We are excited to announce that The Jared Lundgren Team has joined our brokerage this month, expanding our service areas "up north"! Jared and his team will be located at a satellite office in Aitkin, and look forward to helping you find a new home, cabin or lake shore property.
