Silly Property Repairs In North Minneapolis
August 1st, 2008 Categories: Minneapolis Home Buyers and Sellers, North Minneapolis, Real Estate News, Silly Property Repairs, That Flippin' House, Twin Cities Home Buyers
One of the Realtors that blogs has some great posts about stupid property repairs here in the Minneapolis area. I am blatantly copying his idea, but instead of calling it “stupid property repairs”, I’ll just call it “silly property repairs.” (Scott, consider it a compliment!)
Here’s a silly repair that my client and I found in North Minneapolis this week.
I call it Mini Door Knob. This was the only way to get the storm door open to get to the front door.
It’s always good times in North, that’s all I have to say!

Taking Back North Minneapolis - One House at a Time…Ya Gotta See This!
January 27th, 2008 Categories: North Minneapolis, Real Estate News, That Flippin' House, Twin Cities Home Buyers, Twin Cities Real Estate Economy, Twin City Sellers
Looking at several homes in North Minneapolis…their natural beauty, character, charm and ultimate sad disarray, my client and I have chosen just a few for her to return them into beautiful new gems of the North.
Or as I like to call them, “Stars of the North”. I also call them the “Best of the Bunch”.
Whatever you want to call these lovely homes, it is absolutely a thrill to take a true piece of art—turned in to a piece of trash—turned back into a true piece of art.
It’s taking a step back into Minneapolis history. I love it!
Make no mistake.
My client has done all the work, along with her helpers, taking these homes back to their natural beauty. Some of them are just a little beyond the point of original state, however, by today’s standards she’s got it down pretty close! Here is her latest at 1211 Irving Avenue North.
