I have been a licensed real estate agent, serving Twin Citiies of Minnesota home buyers and sellers since 1994. I was given the opportunity to be an Exclusive Buyer Agent from 1999-2008. Now, I am fortunate to be able to serve both buyers and sellers with MN Real Estate Team at RE/Max Advantage Plus. While traveling for many years as a performer, I developed an interest in historical architecture and home design. Combined with my communication skills and attention to detail, a career in real estate felt like a natural transition. After extensive real estate training and earning my Graduate of REALTOR® Institute distinction (akin to a master's degree of real estate), I joined one of the top real estate sales teams in the Twin Cities. I am among the first class of real estate agents to earn the Board sanctioned title of CBR, Certified Buyer Representative as well as the Real Estate Buyers Agent Council of the National Association of Realtors' distinction of Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR). Navigating the sometimes stormy waters of a real estate transaction can be tricky. Think about this, if you wouldn't try to conduct a real estate transaction for your neighbor, why would you risk your own investment by taking a chance. There's an old saying, "It's not a problem, until it is!". Make a smart move and give me a call to help you with your real estate needs. You'll have the benefit of the #1 Real Estate Team in Minnesota!

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of building a new house include:
Pros:
It’s all new, so you should have several years before you need to pay for major repairs like a new roof.
It’s under warranty, so many fixes within that warranty period should be covered.
You get to build the house to your specifications.
Cons:
You have to make a LOT of decisions.
You will almost certainly deal with building delays.
It can take a lot of work to stay within your budget.
Building can be more expensive than buying an existing house.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
Hiring a contractor to build your home is a big commitment. So be sure to ask as many questions up front as possible. Here are a few questions to ask a prospective home builder:
How many years of experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you have worker’s compensation?
How long have you worked with your subcontractors?
How do you handle garbage and waste disposal?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Do you give free estimates?
Do you offer design services?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three references?
Can I see some of the work you’ve done?
