Autumn 2016 | Second Harvest Heartland

Giving Back to Those in Need

As we enjoy an excellent fall harvest, we also think of those in our community less fortunate. For every home we list for sale during the months of September and October, we're making a $100 donation to Second Harvest Heartland. 

Second Harvest Heartland isn't just a food bank, but  one of the nation's largest organization committed to helping those in need with food, something many of us take for granted. With a wide reaching network of volunteers who donate money, food and their time, they donate 74 million meals annually to hungry neighbors. Their mission is clear, "To End Hunger Through Community Partnerships", and we're proud to be joining them this fall. We aren't just donating money to the cause, but we're…

What does fall mean to you?

Imagine falling into a giant pile of yellow, gold and orange leaves. That’s what it’s like to go from summer to fall in the Twin Cities.

What does fall mean to you?

Growing up, my parents really did not like Halloween, but my dad loved to carve pumpkins – the scarier the face the better.  My mom toasted the pumpkin seeds, which I then had in my lunch at school.

What does Fall mean to you?

Fall is probably nature’s most beautiful time of year.  It conjures memories of chilly Friday night football games and hot chocolate, raking and piling leaves before burning them in smoky, pungent fires…

I love the smell of the crisp fall air. It is a completely different sensation than summer – from the lower temperature, to the lower humidity, to the distinctive smell.

Dog Days of Summer | Success

We Raised $1,200 for Secondhand Hounds

In July and August, during our "Dog Days Of Summer" campaign, we donated $100 to Secondhand Hounds with every new listing. As animal lovers, our team worked diligently to raise awareness for this wonderful organization while assisting our clients in getting their house show ready and on the Twin Cities market. Needless to say, it was a great success and a wonderful opportunity to help Second Hand Hounds, where team member Krista is a volunteer.

Coming in July and August of 2017, we'll be raising money yet again for the "Dog Days Of Summer". If you'd like to sell your home in the summer of 2017, we can be sure you're ready! Contact us today for a free market evaluation by a member of our team of…

Dog Days of Summer | Rebecca Peterson

 The Market is Heating Up...Good Time to Meet Our Team

 Meet Professional Realtor and Mother of Three, Rebecca Peterson

Hello. My name is Remington Rufus Peterson. The kids just call me “Sissy” because they think I’m their sister – seriously. One thing I want you to know about me is I’m a stickler for being on time. Especially when it comes to mealtime. Breakfast is at eight. Dinner is at five. You can set your watch to it. It’s like I have a built in clock. 

Mom, a.k.a. Rebecca, also has a built in clock. In all my 10 years, I’ve never seen anyone so prepared. She even has her degree in Real Estate law. And believe me, I’ve heard many a conversation at the dinner table to know that her qualifications as a professional…
