When you work in the real estate business, it’s not uncommon for people to ask you about the business. “How’s it going?” “How are prices?” “Been busy?” We hear it now more than ever. Naturally, people want to know because housing is a major barometer for the health and well being of our economy. The answers to questions …
If you drive through Voyager Village during the Christmas season, keep your eyes open for this church made from ice blocks. It’s at the corner of Kilkare Road and Hanscom Lake Trailway. In the daytime, the ice catches the sun making it sparkle beautifully and at night, it’s internally lit, so it glows softly from within. Bob …
I wasn’t raised in a deer hunting family, so I know very little about what goes into “catching” a good (maybe a great) deer. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Greg Widiker, a science teacher who teaches a Sportsman’s Biology class at Webster High School. He and his hunting partner, Seth Pearson …
One of our team members took this stunning photo of sunset on Clam Lake Saturday night. When I saw it, I was trying to remember where I was on Saturday night and how I missed such a vision. It practically reaches out and grabs you by the neck, but these things are fleeting and it …
Twice a year we have Dock Day. This time of year, that means the dock is coming out.

The dramatic weather we received this week brought another 4 inches of rain. Hoorah for rain! I know that anyone who owns on a seepage lake like we do is patiently waiting, waiting, waiting for ground water levels rise and every bit of rainfall helps. Unfortunately, along with it came a record setting low pressure system with …
Knock, knock. Anybody home? Isn’t this adorable? When was the last time you saw – or used one of these? We ran into this little cutie at a cabin we listed and thought that everyone should have a place for people to leave love notes. Another way that family members and guests share random thoughts, …
Sellers with a history. Every now and again we get to be involved in a property that is rich in history for generations of a family. It’s an honor to be a part of passing the property to a new family to enjoy and to hear the sellers convey their connection to the place to the buyers. Friday …
The traffic today shows that the weather isn’t keeping people from coming Up North to enjoy the Labor Day weekend. All of us who live here know to expect a cool down this time of year and aren’t surprised when we have to don socks and closed toe shoes. It’s just a part of the territory! …
