A Word From Marc: I started this daily ritual with my adult daughters a while ago where I text them a random photo every morning. No comment or good morning just a picture of something I see during the day. Maybe a dog or an insect. Sometimes a silly sign or a goofy meme that comes across my feed. They have busy lives and they don't need to respond to their Dad. Sometimes they do and I'm grateful for it but then I let it go at that. I love having adult children but now they belong to the world. Sending my kids a picture every morning before I even put on my running shoes makes me think of all the other pictures and information that other people are creating. All that stuff multiplying on a daily basis and sitting somewhere at a temperature-controlled data center. Our parents had albums full of Polaroids. We had an entertainment center full of VCR tapes. Our kids can access any picture ever created at the tap of a finger. They can even create one with ChatGPT if one is so inclined. It's really cool and also a little scary. I guess that's just life today and as my dad used to say we should take the good and leave the bad. I've sold a few houses lately before they even hit the market. It's definitely beneficial for my buyers and sometimes makes it very easy for my sellers. I love being the connector for people buying and selling homes. The real estate market is once again highly competitive, especially in the price range less than 1M. By the way, I still find it weird to even say that sentence. As you walk, bike or drive around North Oaks you can see sold signs pop up fairly quickly. It's a healthy, market. If you see one of mine, take a pic and send it to me. I'll add it to my collection. -Marc SOLD! FULL PRICE BEFORE MARKET! MARC OWENS - KURTZ 612-751-6472 | MARC@LAKESMN.COM TOP PRODUCER & REGULAR GUY!
