Hi, and thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me. I have lived in Grand Forks my whole life. I am married and have 3 beautiful daughters we raised in this wonderful community.

I worked in the real estate industry since 2015 as an Administrative Assistant, and finally decided to take my real estate knowledge further and get my license. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, give me a call, I would love to work with you.

I spent the first 7 years of my career in real estate flipping houses and on the investment side of the business. I have done it all. In 2023 I decided to get my Real Estate license. To be honest, I did not expect to enjoy the retail side of the business as much as I have. Buying and selling your personal home is often the largest financial decision for folks. There are a lot of details that go into a successful transaction. I love the process of helping my clients understand their goals and helping them paint a picture of where they are trying to go. I love what I get to do for a living. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my daughter, being at the gym or in my tent outside and in the woods…..And anticipating the next trip to Menards

Josh Jones has been a lifelong resident of Grand Forks, and has worked in the media industry since 1985. He is married to Yvonne, his wife of 15 years.

If you’re looking for a relatable, thorough, local, hard working agent who knows the market, and always has your best interests in mind, Josh is your guy.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my short biography. I’m a newly licensed realtor with a background in property renovation, management, and improvement. Since a young age, I’ve been involved in renovating and enhancing office spaces and homes, which has given me a great eye for detail and design. Over the past four years, I’ve had the opportunity to manage apartment and self-storage units, as well as designing large scale Mechanical systems for buildings, which helped me build an understanding of how properties operate inside and out.

I’m passionate about helping people find the perfect space, whether it’s a home to settle into or an investment property with potential. My experience in property management and renovation has given me a unique perspective that I bring to every real estate transaction. I’m excited to continue learning and growing in the industry.

If you’re looking for someone who understands both the practical and financial sides of real estate, I’m here to help guide you through every step of the process. Let’s work together to achieve your real estate goals!

Hello to you all, and thanks for taking the time to read my agent page. I grew up in Dickinson, North Dakota and graduated from the Catholic school system as a Trinity Titan. I attended Dickinson State University for one year before transferring to the University of North Dakota to pursue a degree in finance. After UND I moved back to Dickinson and managed 2 large restaurants for a period of 5 years. In 1996 I moved back to Grand Forks to pursue a career in finance. Along with my 22 year old daughter, we have made Grand Forks our home, and have enjoyed making friends with the many wonderful people in this community. Whether you’re buying or selling, it would be an honor for me to earn your business!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read a little about me. I am the Original Mike Pence and have lived in Grand Forks for the past 20 years. I have been married to my amazing wife for 16 years and have 3 kids. For the past 13 years I have been a stay at home dad and, although it has been a completely different position for me, I wouldn’t change it for the world. Before making that change I worked at the hospital, Valley Vision and Tires Plus. From all of those places I really found myself as a helping person and love being around and talking with people. I don’t consider myself a “sales” person but will do everything in my power to help you find what you need and want in your future home.

I grew up in Grand Forks, ND where I lived with my parents and 4 siblings. I started my career in the medical field where I was an x-ray tech for 7 years before becoming a mammographic which I have been doing for the past 21 years. I have always been interested in real estate as my husband, son and I have built 2 of our homes and remodeled 2 other homes. I started my real estate career in 2019. I enjoy meeting new people and seeing what interests them and what makes a home for them a Forever Home. I have helped people find their 1st home, upgrade to larger homes to fit their family’s growth, investment properties and I have found homes for families that live out of state by creating virtual videos of homes which gives them a clearer perspective on the home’s layout since they could not be here in person. I would welcome you to contact me if you need any assistance in finding that diamond in the rough you’d like to make your own or that turn-key house of your dreams.

As a proud lifelong resident of Grand Forks, I have spent my career dedicated to helping clients navigate the real estate landscapes in both North Dakota and Minnesota. Since earning my real estate license in 2006, I have built a reputation for providing personalized service, deep local knowledge, and a commitment to achieving the best outcomes for my clients.

Having owned two businesses in Grand Forks, I understand the importance of delivering exceptional service and building strong relationships. This experience has equipped me with invaluable negotiation skills and a keen understanding of the community’s needs. As a parent of two grown children and a grandmother to two wonderful grandchildren, with a third on the way, I know the value of finding a safe and nurturing environment for families—a quality that Grand Forks excels in!

I pride myself on being available to my clients whenever they need me. You can always reach me by cell or text, day or night, because I work 24/7 to ensure that every question is answered and every concern addressed. Your goals are my priority, and I’m here to make your buying or selling experience as smooth as possible.

When I’m not busy assisting clients, I enjoy spending time at the lake with family and friends or exploring new beaches whenever I can. My love for the outdoors helps keep me inspired and balanced.
