Remember, with Crary, the Valley is Yours.
I’ve helped hundreds of people buy and sell homes since 1972. Let me put my experience to work for you and your friends.
I have lived in Grand Forks for over 25 years. I have over 28 years in customer service before joining Prudential Crary Real Estate. I would love the opportunity to help you find the home that is right for you. Call me at (701) 741-2268 and we can start to search for the home of your dreams!
I grew up in Argyle, MN, a small town about 40 minutes NE of Grand Forks. In high school I worked for my grandpa’s crop dusting business, taking apart airplanes and building new ones. I took steps to get my pilots license, not to be a part of that business, but just thought it would be awesome to have. Once I graduated high school, I moved to Grand Forks and attended the University of North Dakota. I graduated in 2015 and started my career at the Alerus Center managing the box office and marketing the arena shows. While working I found a love for real estate. I was 24 when I bought my first apartment building where I still live and manage. Less than a year after that, I bought my second building that I also manage myself. I love the opportunities this industry creates for people, whether it’s investing, or finding a place to live and raise a family.
I was born and raised in Warminster, Pa., about 30 minutes from Philadelphia, Pa. After high school, I worked for a major insurance company where I started in Human Resources. After that company restructured, I worked in Human Resources for a school district in Pa. In June 2011, we decided to make a big move to Fisher, Mn, where we would take over the family homestead. I have been working as a para-professional in the Fisher School District.
As your Realtor, I will be an advocate for your. Whether you are buying or selling, I will work tirelessly to promote your best interests. I am dedicated to customer service and firmly believe that one must listen well to effectively meet the needs of the seller or buyer. I understand that buying and selling real estate can be stressful. I will work hard to lower your stress level and make your experience as pleasurable as possible. I will accomplish this through constant communication, and by being accessible whenever you need me.
I’ve very excited in my new career as a Realtor. I am very anxious to meet new people and being able to help them find their dream home.
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.”
I grew up in Baudette MN on the shores of Lake of the Woods. I spent my childhood playing sports, hunting and fishing. After high school I moved to Grand Forks to attend college at UND majoring in Engineering. In 2009 I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. After graduation I went to work for AE2S, a civil/environmental engineering firm headquartered in Grand Forks. My career started working in the world of water, primarily rural water, where I assist getting water to farmsteads throughout eastern North Dakota. In 2012, I graduated UND with a master’s degree in environmental engineering. Since graduating I have purchased several different investments, personal, and agricultural properties for myself and with business partners. In 2016, I married my wife, Alli, and in 2018 we welcomed our first born, Gordie. We currently live on the south end of Grand Forks.
Over the course of the last 10 years I have thoroughly enjoyed the real estate market. The buying and selling of houses is exhilarating. I love looking through the daily listings to see new market hits and what may be a good fit for me or my business. I am excited to continue my passion in real estate by serving you!

P.S.
If you are interested here is a little bit about me:
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 have lived in Grand Forks all my life, have been married for 34 years and raised my children in our “Grand Cities”.
I have been involved in the real estate industry for the last 25 years doing Land Developments, Commercial and Residential Construction as well as real estate sales.
I have a GRI designation and am an active member of the Grand Forks Board of Realtors.
As part of the Crary Homes & Real Estate sales team, whether you are selling your home or looking for a new one-you can count on me!

Designations & Certifications:
Affiliations:
I moved to Grand Forks from Jacksonville, FL in 2010. Grand Forks is one of the best cities in the USA to own a home. It is peaceful and people are very friendly. I am trying to live the American dream here with my beautiful wife and daughter. With my customer service experience for eight years in automotive industry as a car sales professional, I am confident that I will be able to help people in the field of real estate too. My goal is to help others who are looking to own or sell real estate. I choose Crary Real Estate because it is local. It treats its clients like a family. If you need any help regarding purchasing or selling a real estate please do not hesitate to contact me any time!
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.
