As 2016 comes to an end, Minnesota winter has officially begun. So far we've been lucky with the light snowfalls, but there's always a chance that "snowmageddon" is lurking around the corner. We have some great tips below to make sure your home is ready for anything Mother Nature throws at us. 

If buying or selling a home is on your wish list, we are more than happy to help get you into a new "Home for the Holidays". It's hard to believe that 2017 is almost here, and the busy spring market will be here before you know it, so It's never to early to start planning and preparing!

From all of us at Necklen & Oakland, we wish you a peaceful, happy holiday season, and a prosperous new year!


Sincerely,
