There's a big disconnect between my opinion of the management/office staff (fantastic, even through the multiple transitions we've had over the past couple years) and my opinion of the people that live here. There's just a consistent lack of common courtesy... whether it be smoking on the balconies (visually seen multiple times) or the garage areas (haven't visually seen but have easily smelt), not returning the carts to the garage level when you're done with them, or not respecting the quiet hours. Really you have to expect these kinds of things when living in an apartment community in general, and especially one that skews younger such as ours, but one can always hope and dream... ...read more

I really liked Katy the old leasing lady who I applied with. She was much more laid back and less pushy then our current building manager. When he came in he falsely notified me and two other people I know in the building that we hadn't paid certain rents or our security deposits from months ago and it wasn't the case. It was frustrating that he came in thinking he was fixing the system and he was too quick to send these notices out when they ended up being false. Otherwise he is nice and follows through with things. ...read more
Finding the best local realtor can be a daunting task. Many people start out by asking friends, relatives and co-workers, but the referrals they get are often more familiar with different parts of the Twin Cities Metro. The next thing many people will do is an internet search. Whether it's google, bing, yahoo, or another search engine, the results can be misleading. Typically the real estate agents that are the most professional, consistent, and well known will be the agents that show up organically on the first page. This isn't always the case however. Most of the time the first few spots on the first page are taken by national companies that then ask for your information and sell it to local real estate agents who they will intern feature as top local agents. This get's confusing, misleading, and annoying for consumers. Our advice is to click on a local real estate agent or local real estate teams' website and if it looks appealing you can search that team or that agents' name to see where else they show up online and read their reviews from sites like zillow and trulia.

Are You Thinking of Selling in 2014? If so, here's the things you will want to know: Lower supply levels, strong demand and higher prices are among the encouraging developments in 2013 that brought about ongoing market recovery. Consumer purchase demand increased notably, reaching levels not seen since 2005. As the active supply of homes for sale fell to an 11-year low, absorption rates improved to levels not seen since before 2003. Low but upwardly-mobile interest rates, affordable prices and record housing affordability resulted in an 8.8 percent increase in home sales for the 13-county metro. Are You Thinking of Selling in 2014? Get The Facts: • Sellers listed 72,128 properties on the market, a 9.4 percent increase from 2012 and the first gain in seven years. • Buyers closed on 53,087 homes, up 8.8 percent from 2012 and the highest figure since 2005.

The Chris Fritch Team is knowledgeable in your local market and can tell you what's selling - or not selling - this will be invaluable in helping you determine the price. The objective is to find a price that the market will bear but won't leave money on the table. Here are some points to consider: Time. Time is not on your side when it comes to real estate. Although many factors influence the outcome, perhaps time is the biggest determinant in whether or not you see a profit and how much you profit. Studies show that the longer a house stays on the market, the less likely it is to sell for the original asking price. Therefore, if your goal is to make money, think about a price that will create some urgency from a potential buyer. Search local listings now. Value vs. Cost. Pricing your home to sell in a timely fashion requires some objectivity. It's important that you not confuse value with cost - in other words, how much you value your home versus what buyers are willing to pay for it. Don't place too much emphasis on home improvements when calculating your price, because buyers may not share your taste. For instance, not everyone wants hardwood floors or granite counter tops. Keep it simple. Because time is of the essence, make it easy for the buyers. Remain flexible on when your agent can schedule showings. Also, avoid putting contingencies on the sale. Though a desirable move-in date makes for a smoother transition between homes, it could cause you to lose the sale altogether. Are You Thinking of Selling in 2014?
