After leaving Grand Forks for 8 years, I move back to my native city in 2015 and joined Crary Real Estate as the Operating Manager.

Prior to my current role, I was a Senior Transaction Coordinator at Cassidy Turley Commercial Real Estate Services in St. Louis, Missouri. In this position I represented corporate tenants in specific submarkets. I controlled Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City, Denver, Hawaii, Houston and Dallas. I completed over 125 lease renewals as well as over 85 acquisitions, relocations and new office development. My estimated transaction value in this role is placed over $30,000,000.

Before living in St. Louis for 2.5 years, I was a resident of Washington DC. I moved to DC to intern for National Student Leadership. During my time as an intern, I traveled both domestically and international conducting and helping with the production of leadership forums, specifically targeted toward college students. As an intern I also had responsibilities regarding the coordination of the National Prayer Breakfast. Upon completing the 9 month internship, I was Director of the Congressional Fellow Program. In this role I was responsible for the recruitment and placement of 24 student leaders from around the United States. Each student was placed as an intern to the staff of different members of congress.

Prior to my time in DC, I attend Bethel University in St. Paul Minnesota where I majored in marketing and entrepreneurship. As a student I traveled abroad and completed a semester at Bond University in Queensland, Australia. I spent my summer months as a construction laborer working on the concrete crew for Affinity Builders.

In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors. Hunting and fishing are among some of my favorite activities. I also enjoy traveling, having visited 24 countries, I enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences.

Experience Counts

I’m a professional sales associate with many years experience in real estate, specializing in residential property sales and commercial sales in the community. I have the experience, knowledge and kind of caring attitude to help you reach your real estate goals and to develop a sound financial future.

I believe that buying and selling real estate should be a smooth and pleasant experience. That’s why it’s important to hire an experienced professional. Because of the caring way I conduct business and the integrity that goes along with being an experienced professional, time and again past clients refer their friends and family.

The service is simple. What are your expectations and particular goals? I help sellers obtain premium prices and I find homes for buyers in their area of choice and price range. By educating clients through each phase of the selling or buying process, buyers and sellers alike are confident that they have made a sound decision.

I have the ability to create a unique, personalized marketing campaign for each of my listings. As a result, homes I list are exposed to the widest audience of potential buyers.

Professionalism Plus…

Not only do I handle negotiations with the utmost professionalism, but most of my clients become personal friends. Having high standards of conduct has earned me a reputation as both a REALTOR who cares, and one who is resourceful in finding facts.

A Little About Me…

I have won numerous awards over the years for top production derived from quality service.

I am a proven top achiever, attested to by my many satisfied local clients. I do all the necessary homework and follow up with all the details to prove a lasting committment of service to my clients.

Education has prepared me to handle all types of residential and commercial property transactions. No home is too big or too small. I strive to go above and beyond my clients’ expectations in service and insist on being staight-forward with everyone.

“I believe that by helping people get what they want, I will get everything in life that I want which is a satisfied client and friend for life.” Marilyn Larson, Real Estate Broker, CRS, GRI, ABR

There is no greater compliment than your kind referral. It is the heart and success of my business.

Seeking to become Your Hometown Real Estate Agent Since 1978!
Crary Real Estate
701-746-4663
        [SHO-HOME]  

P.S.

If you are interested here is a little bit about me:

• Honed my negotiating skills in hundreds of Purchase Agreements.
• Keep an ever-updating notebook I call “975 Questions and Answers in Buying a Home” that can help answer many of your real estate questions.
• Served three generations of two families, and nine different families of former Realtors, with buying or selling homes.
• University of North Dakota graduate: B.A. Education, 1972; and B.S. Psychology, 1974.
• Worked several years as a carpenter to gain hands-on home construction experience.
• Grand Forks Board of Realtors Realtor of the Year in 1995.
• REALTOR member of the National Association of Realtors with designations of Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).
• Jan and I have been married for fifteen year. We are into collecting antiques: Jan likes her cut-glass crystal and pink depression glass. I collect comedy – joke books, and stand up comedians on vinyl records, cds, and dvds. We have a lot at Cass Lake where I have fished for over fifty years. We have a pheasant hunting dog named Fannie. Jan likes her flower gardening, and I dig vegetable and fruit gardening.

I conclude with a story:

Over dinner, in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, the youthful George Bailey declares to his dad that after college he doesn’t intend to work in the long established small town family ‘building and loan’ business, but rather wants to go out in the world and accomplish great and important things.

Peter Bailey thoughtfully looks up from his meal and gently responds to his son: “You know, George, I feel that in a small way we are doing something important … satisfying a fundamental urge. It’s deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace, and we’re helping him get those things in our shabby little office.”

It is probably a little corny to some, yet it really is all about Home to me so I keep the above sentiment in mind as I try to find my place in the community and my job in real estate.

I grew up in Chisago City, MN, roughly 40 minutes north of the Twin Cities. I began working for Gander Mountain while in High school, a career that I would continue through college and beyond. I graduated from Bethel University with a degree in Marketing and shortly thereafter, began working in the Marketing with Gander Mountain. There I coordinated nationwide events spanning across as many as 140 stores at a time. This was an incredible experience for me that really highlighted my love for working with people and helping to solve their problems.

In the summer of 2015, I married my wife Mollie and we decided it was time for a change of scenery. We moved to her home town of Grand Forks, where we now have happily lived since. With my past experience in customer care and my passion for helping people, real estate was an easy decision as a career path. I am passionate about this community and helping the people of it better their lives. If you have any real estate related needs, I would be more than happy to assist you.

My goals are to make every closing a celebration of a job well done, leaving each buyer settling in a home they will love, and every seller realizing the true value of their property.

I am a graduate of UND’s Accounting and Business Administrative degree program, and have been a Grand Forks area resident ever since college days. I raised 4 children here, and ran a music studio where I taught hundreds of kids from Grand Forks to Fertile to play piano and organ.

In my 25 years of teaching music, I taught that the key to a great performance is strong preparation, meticulous attention to detail, and sensitivity to the personality and style of your piece. As I look back on my years as a realtor, I realize that orchestrating a purchase or sale of real estate requires many of the same steps in relation to my clients.

I would love to hear from you, and give you the personal service that has been the hallmark of my professional career, helping to build my broker’s vision “To be the industry leader in integrity and service.”
