"Victoria is VERY knowledgeable about the Brainerd area. Being an avid hunter and fisher I had a lot of questions about each listing. She delivered all of the information I needed (and more) very quickly. When we got down to negotiations and contracting, she was very thorough and gave great advice. I would absolutely work with her again."

"Dan helped us find the exact property we were looking for and met us at several other properties even after I thought we found what we were looking for. Dan wanted to make sure that the one we chose was the right one for us. We found the cabin/hunting land that we always wanted. We had several agents that we worked with over the years to find our dream property but none worked as hard for us as Dan did. He was there answering all my questions either over the phone or vis email. Dan did great negotiations for us and made it happen."
