A Word From Marc: When my brother went off to college and I had our bedroom to myself I asked my mother if I could paint the room black. Of course she said yes. This was the same woman who allowed me at the age of 10 to change the spelling of my name to Marc instead of Mark. I wish the inspiration for the black color was the 1966 Rolling Stones hit song but frankly I just wasn't that cool. I didn't even know the Stones existed until a few years later when my college roommate would play Under My Thumb on a loop cassette tape. I digress. My point is I've never owned a black car. I don't dress like Johnny Cash. But I really like black rooms in homes and lately on the exterior as well. I see more and more homes painted black. A nice deep flat black looks awesome. We painted our house up in Duluth Black. We thought the neighbors would shun us as being city folk but they love it. It is such a contrast to the myriad of white houses that exist on the block. I see more and more homes in North Oaks painted black. A nice black house looks really cool among the dense green foliage of North Oaks. Go ahead. Try it first on the main floor bathroom then you can decide whether to expand from there. The North Oaks real estate market is in the Black. In the last 30 days, six new homes have come on the market. Two sold immediately and one is negotiating an offer. It appears that specifically Lakeshore property is in high demand. Not surprising since water front property usually is limited in supply and high in demand. I'd like to see a black painted waterfront property as I'm running around the lake. Come on guys someone help me out here. -Marc MARC OWENS - KURTZ 612-751-6472 | MARC@LAKESMN.COM TOP PRODUCER & REGULAR GUY!
