Do you need some spring? Are you sick and tired of winter? Do you feel like it will never be warm again and the snow will last forever? Then you need to get down to the Home and Garden Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center starting on Wednesday this week. The show offers great tips, trends and ideas for all your home remodeling and decorating needs as well as landscaping.  What could get you more in the mood to think spring than planning out some new landscaping or finding interesting plants and trees for your yard?  Even if you own a condo, they have ideas to get your deck or balcony in shape this spring.  There is an idea house with the latest and greatest for bathroom spas, gourmet kitchens and more.  The show is open Wed. February 27 – Sun. March 3.  The hours vary by day, so please check their website for complete details and to get discounted tickets and bus passes!

My very patient buyer was overjoyed to close on her Burnsville condo on Friday afternoon!  The condo was a bank owned property and as is the case often times with bank owned properties there were a lot of challenges to overcome.  We persevered and were able to successfully close on the deal.  She was planning to start some small renovation work shortly after closing with the hope of being able to move in within a few days time.  Congratulations on your new home!
