I am not one to get all heart felt online, but I am a big teddy bear and one of my clients just wrote me a review that almost made me cry it was so sweet.  This is why I love my job!My first experience purchasing a house over 8 years ago was a disaster! My realtor was short with me, barely answered any of my questions, and wasn't there for me the second the deal was closed and he had collected his paycheck. Needless to say, I was very untrusting of ANY realtors when my wife and I decided to purchase a new family home. We did our research and asked our friends and family for referrals. Dale Frisch came highly recommended by our mortgage broker, so we decided to give him a shot (with all of our walls up of course). From the moment we met Dale, my perspective rapidly changed! He was polite...

The Step-Up Program From MHFA Traditionally, there have been special programs provided through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency that have been designed only for MN first time home buyers. Last December, however, all of that changed! While there is still a wide array of great programs for MN first time home buyers, MHFA has now expanded their product selection to those who have owned a home in the past as well. These new programs will really help our local Cottage Grove real estate market. In short, if a Cottage Grove home seller nets very little upon the sale of their home, now they have a way of being able to afford a new home purchase as well. With the guidelines as provided through MHFA, a Twin Cities home buyer who has owned a home in the past needs only as little as $1,000 of t...

Would you want to learn something about how to buy a home in Cottage Grove? Learning how to buy a home can be confusing for many buyers, especially if you are a MN first time home buyer. As this process can be quite complext I would like to take a moment to share with you some tips of how to accomplish your goal. How To Buy A home in Cottage Grove Most Minnesota home buyers start their search for the perfect home on the internet. There are many internet sites to begin this but a good place for you to start is to use the MLS search on my personal website. There are thousands of real estate sites out there but you will soon find that many of them lack some of the important details you need when finding a home. The large national websites, for example, do not show the county property taxes...

One increasingly common mortgage option in Cottage Grove for Minnesota home buyers is available through the VA. This type of financing has increased nationally by about 20% over the last couple of years due in part to the sheer number of our returning veterans. Additionally with the loss of other options for zero down payment loans in Minnesota, the VA offers a benefit that offers eligible buyers a unique opportunity to buy their home with no down payment. Many veteran home buyers misunderstand the fact that they may use their VA financing benefit multiple times. As a result veteran home buyers do not necessarily need to be a MN first time home buyer in order to use their VA benefit. This can be a perfect solution for current homeowners who want to sell their existing home to buy anothe...

Looking for a townhouse in Cottage Grove, MN? You might be wondering if it’s a good investment. The past five years of the real estate downward spiral in the United States has been discouraging for some, but surveys show that most Americans still believe that buying a home is a good way to invest their money. And with good cause, per the Wall Street Journal. There are indications that 2011 might be exactly the right time to buy: Mortgage rates are near 50-year lows ARMs are at record lows  Homes are more affordable than ever  The high number of foreclosures has created a buyer’s market But it won’t stay this way: Such conditions might not last long. Moody’s Analytics predicts that the number of distressed sales will begin to fall in 2013, and that prices will begin to edge upward then. ...

You want to sell your house in Cottage Grove, MN as quickly as possible. You’ve cleaned out your belongings to make it more attractive to potential buyers, you’ve painted the walls and done the repair work necessary. You’ve maybe even baked cookies before a showing to make the whole place smell amazing. But one key area is often overlooked by sellers focused on the interior of their home: landscaping. Done well, landscaping brings a 100-200% return in its value. If you have the money and time to hire a professional, do so (you can find licensed landscaping professionals near Cottage Grove at GardenMinnesota.com). But if you’re short on time and want to add value and curb appeal to your home, follow the tips found in this article. #1 – Keep the Green Don’t get rid of trees unless they’re...

What is the median price anyways? The median is the value which divides the sequence in half, so half the homes which sell, sell for more and conversely the other half sell for less. What would be the problem with using this to broadly represent the change in home values? The real problem is when the higher priced homes start taking dramatically longer to sell! In this situation, even if prices remained the same, but the rate of sales of the higher priced homes slows (which has happened in every market I've reviewed locally) the median price will drop! (more lower priced homes selling in the same time period) For Cottage Grove from Jan 1 to Nov 19 2008 $200-300k Cumulative Days on Market was 125 days $300k-$400k its was $237.5 days, nearly twice as long which would really skew the media...

For nearly 15 years, I have enjoyed this wonderful community.  It's great neighborhoods, sense of safeness, friendly people and an overall feeling of peace living here.  And who can forget about the new Culvers moving in!  Yummmmm!! Last evening, I took our puppy, Mic, for a walk (okay, puppy in mind and soul...maybe not so much puppy in size).  We stopped along the way to visit with people outside and just enjoyed the beautiful summer evening. Now, everyone who lives here can tell you how nice our parks are and Mic (puppy) is no exception.  He has one particular favorite that we frequent all the time.  Well, last night, as in all of our walks, Mic walked patiently...waiting to get to his favorite destination.  He knows that when we get there, I will take his leash off and he can run fr...
