Notable Quotes
"I've been reading a lot and just with everything going on in the world, there's a lot of opportunity if you look at it in the right frame of mind. Everybody's trying to scare you and saying that the real estate market is going to crash, we're in a huge, huge recession and things like that. But if you look at anything that's actually going on, people who have money are willing to spend it on things that are valuable.”
"There's an organic component that isn't common in a lot of people being able to kind of, if you will, read the person and understand what is missing, understand the missing link, understand the delay and understanding the why behind having a hard time pushing through the obstacle of making a decision to make a major life move.”
"What I really enjoy most is being able to help people and see how they feel when they do find that right home."
“We're seeing a relocation movement into the Midwest that we've never seen before. Even the people that are my age that have moved away from Minnesota to go to college or something like that, they always, always, always come back to Minnesota."
