Old Friends

A good friend is cheaper than therapy. - Unknown

A few years back, lets not date me but it may have been in the 90's, I met Donna. Back in the days of attending Minot State Univeristy her and I were two peas in a pod. We went to school together, worked together, lived together, and met my husband together. As time went on moved on from the days of college and we let time get away.

A few months ago the house search began for Donna and her first home. We reunited and it felt like time stood still since college. After searching some interesting properties... a curvy foundation at the top of that list... we found Donna a great two story first home with a strong foundation!

Why Prudential

“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.” -O'Neal

There is a saying that just because you are right, doesn't mean I am wrong. Just because I represent one company, does not mean there is anything wrong with another. But I believe there are some that are just a step ahead of others. The same goes with my belief in Prudential Real Estate. Prudential companies are chosen based upon outstanding performance records, high levels of customer service, and shared business values. There are approximately 60,000 Prudential sales associates in 1,700 offices. What this means is Prudential as a whole sold around 402,000 properties equivalent to $110.2 Billion in Sales Volume in just one year!

I represent a company that believes the most important words in real estate are Reliability and Trust. This is what Prudential stands for and sets us apart from all other real estate organizations. As a Prudential Minot sales associate I have a commitment to always putting my clients first, office second, and self last. After all I am here to represent my clients by providing professional real estate knowledge. This career is my passion, it never feels like work to me. I am so "lucky" to be my own boss, yet have a great company that gives me the tools I need to go above and beyond what my clients expect.

If you know me, you know I do not believe in luck. I believe that hard work has a future and makes the path for "luck". My priority is giving this "luck" to each of my clients and making sure they have a great real estate transaction!!

Minot's Changing Schools

"Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know" -Boorstin

Over the past few years Minot has grown by leaps and bounds. The Woodside addition, in the southeast corner of Minot has become the hot new area to build. With houses ranging in price from $180,000 to $1,000,000 there are a wide variety of families making this their neighborhood. Yet in this neighborhood your kids may not all attend the same school, or even be allowed to.

The Woodside addition is not in the Minot Public School District, it is Nedrose School District. There are 49 lots that are annexed into MPS, their property taxes reflect this. There are 100 plus other lots are not on this annex pattern right now and the students are not allowed to attend MPS thru open enrollment. Open enrollment is the process that has allowed us send our children to any school in our district, but it is quickly coming to a hault.

A few years back when Washington School opened it had 214 students, as of today it has 469 students. As of now Washington, Jim Hill, and Ramstad, are no longer excepting open enrollment being they are filled to capacity.

When choosing a home, it is important you know all the facts. I believe that the MPS and Nedrose School District are both great educational options. We are lucky to live in an area that has such high standards in education. If you would like more information please contact me and I can send you additional provisions on this addition to our growing community!!
