"Tips for Preparing A Property for Spring"

Apply early spring lawn fertilizer once between February and April, when your grass is starting to green up and begin to actively grow (around the time your lawn first needs to be mowed).

Whether you're using a core aerator or a steel spike aerator, you should cover the lawn completely in one direction and go back over it in a perpendicular motion.

Spike aerators punch holes in your lawn as you go, while core aerators work to remove grass and soil plugs.

Be sure all plant material is turned under the soil. If organic material is added before planting a fall garden, it should be well-rotted, such as compost. Before planting, rake the soil clean and level it. Remove all sticks, rocks, and other materials.

Remove vent covers and wash them. Remove your vent covers with your screwdriver. ...
Cover vent openings with paper towels. Cover the openings to your supply registers with a few paper towels. Loosen the dust, vacuum it up and change your air filter then replace vent covers.

Look closely at the icicles around the exterior of your house. If the icicles are confined to the gutters and there is no water trapped behind them, then an ice dam has likely not formed. Check for water stains or moisture in your attic or along with the ceiling of exterior walls of your house.

Winterize your snowblower by adding a Fuel Stabilizer. Every time you refill your gas cans with fresh gasoline, the first step is to add a fuel stabilizer to the can before filling it up. Drain the Fuel out and seal and protect your engine. Then wipe it down and lubricate it. 

Check and change lightbulbs outside of your property if they are no longer working.
Start your air conditioner to ensure it's ready and operating properly or call your landlord or repairman and get it looked at before the warm summer months ahead.

Sweep salt and sand from your garage floor (rinse out with water if needed) 

Check seals on doors and garages to ensure they are close tightly and that there are no holes from animals trying to get inside the property.

Remove plastic film from windows (if you use them to keep heat in)

As we round the corner of winter and get ready for spring, we are excited to continue to build on what this year has brought to the office. 

A major goal for us this year was to begin our journey in the world of development. There are a few of us in the office who have done this as individuals, however, it is not something that we have done collectively as a group. This has been a real interest and passion of mine, and, so we have decided to begin down the path, and we have had a lot of fun so far. We are working on a few projects and hope to make an announcement soon on what we have in the works. 

The Rochester market continues to see strong growth and that is no exception in our office. We currently have thirteen transactions set to close over the next three months, which will prove to be a busy spring for us. With that said, with spring comes a lot of new opportunities and business. 

Marketing and social media remain a strong focus for us at Realty Growth. Thanks to the leadership of Bucky Beeman, as well as the creativity of Nathan Hoover, for making this a real possibility and truly bringing our business into the 21st century. So, please, do not forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram as this is an easy way to stay up to date on the latest trends and local updates in real estate, as well as continue to be a part of our team. 

In closing, enjoy these final days of winter, and look forward to all of the new and wonderful opportunities that have come our way.

As the new year begins and we have a fresh start, things are already ramping up at Realty Growth! 2021 was an epic year for us, but we are excited to have a clean slate and look forward to continuing that momentum that we have built together.

Every year when leadership sits down to discuss budgets and goals, we always ask how we can be better, do more, be more successful, and be more efficient than years previous. The answers always start and end with our people. Our people are the backbone of who we are and how we do things, and every year we always come out better and more successful than before. The key to all of this is having a positive attitude and a clear and focused mindset. If you believe something will happen, and act and live your life accordingly, there is no choice but to reach, and, most likely, surpass every goal. And that is exactly what we are going to do here at Realty Growth, together, as a team.

There are a lot of exciting things happening in the office, and we cannot wait to share all of these things with you as we move along in 2022. I invite you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram as this is an easy way to stay up to date on the latest trends and local updates in real estate, as well as continue to be a part of our team.
 

In closing, let's have some fun, do great things, continue to grow, and have the most spectacular year yet!

Thank you, and may this year bring you nothing but love and success.

Local Non-Profit Highlight

Gift of Life Transplant House

Nick Pompeian wanted to contribute to the Gift of Life Transplant House because it is very near and dear to his heart. His dad not only founded the organization in 1984,  but Nick has had the honor and pleasure of being a part of that journey spending a lot of time volunteering, meeting and building family like relationships with those that stay there, and acting as the board president and board member. The pandemic has been extra hard on the house, as it serves an extremely vulnerable population, as all transplant patients are immunocompromised. Nick thought that this year would be the perfect year to thank this organization for all of the hard work and dedication to keeping transplant patients safe, comfortable, and calm during an already difficult time in their lives and even more with the pandemic. 

In 1973 Edward Pompeian received “the gift of life,” a kidney, from his mother, Helen. Ed’s personal experience with transplantation led him to believe that the health and well-being of transplant patients and their families would be better served by living in a home-like setting. For years after his transplant, Ed searched for a suitable home, finding it at 624 W. Center St. in August, 1984. Working with three Mayo Clinic Rochester employees, Mary Davie, Dr. Sylvester Sterioff, and Greg Warner, the 1st Board of Directors, Ed was able to raise community support and the funds for a down-payment. In December 1984, Gift of Life, Inc., officially opened its doors. The three-story, eight-guest-room, Craftsman-style house at 624 West Center Street, Rochester provided accommodations for 16. Requests for rooms grew quickly.

In 1988, the convent at St. John’s Catholic Church, Rochester, was leased to help meet needs. Guest-room capacity increased to 21. In 1991, an executive director and a facilities manager were hired, and plans for a larger home were drafted.

In 1994, Gift of Life’s Board of Directors purchased the Judd house, near downtown Rochester and five blocks from Mayo Clinic. Renovations along with adding a north-side wing to the house began immediately. In 2000, a west wing was added, bringing the total guest room count to 48. December of 2002, this wing was renamed in honor of our friend and benefactor, Norman L. Gillette, Jr., owner of Pepsi-Cola Bottling, Rochester/LaCrosse. By this time, Ed was being tested for a 2nd kidney transplant and received his 2nd kidney from his son in 2004.

The need for affordable lodging continued to grow and in November 2009, a second house opened across the street from the main campus. The additional 36 guest rooms at the Anne and Henry Zarrow Home made the Gift of Life Transplant House the largest transplant house program in the country at 84 rooms. From the beginning to today, almost 35 years later, providing a supportive home-like environment for transplant patients and their caregivers to heal has been the inspiration.

The story doesn’t end here. Each guest who makes Gift of Life Transplant House their ‘home away from home’ reinforces the vision of Ed Pompeian. Their courage, gratitude and appreciation inspire us every day and the same determination that Ed Pompeian had to provide affordable accommodations continues today.

The Landing MN
 

Nathan Hoover wanted to contribute to The Landing MN because as we all know homelessness is an issue in our world. We would like to thank Dan Fifield, his wife Holly, and many others like Nathan who have donated their time serving and bringing awareness to an underserved community. Nathan has served with The Project Hope movement at many community outreach and service events over the last couple of years. Nathan intends to continue his service in the community in the future.

In 2017, The Landing MN started as just a dream. The concept came as an idea to co-founder Holly Fifield as she had a conversation with a friend, where they discussed the need for a retreat for those suffering and in need of spiritual and mental healing. This was the conversation that set the groundwork for what The Landing MN would come to be. That same night, co-founder Dan Fifield had a dream about a place called ‘The Landing’, a cabin on a lake that served as a place for retreats to help those in any place of need. Little did they know, The Landing would grow to be much more.

Throughout the next year, The Landing MN sat dormant as just a dream, as the timing didn’t present itself to bring this dream to fruition. Then, in November 2018, a series of events occurred that turned the tables and put the wheels in motion. The sheet was pulled back on the extensive homeless community in Dan and Holly’s hometown, and they were exposed to the vast reality of the in-need population surrounding them. They realized how much their community desperately needed a place for those who are suffering – not just homeless individuals, but anyone in any place of physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual distress.

Bolder Options

Gunnar Grimsrud wanted to contribute to the Bolder Options because he volunteered for their mentorship program this past year and saw firsthand the impact that they have on the community. Bolder Options is a great program to give kids a chance to spend time with a mentor that cares about them and is able to teach them how to be respectful and responsible young adults. The bond that Gunnar developed with his mentee this past year is something he will remember for the rest of his life.

Bolder Options was established in 1993 as a response to a community needs assessment that determined there was an urgent need for mentoring programs in the Twin Cities. The St. Paul location was officially launched in January of 2007.

A few years later, They expanded their program to the city of Rochester which was officially launched in July of 2010.

In 2018, Bolder Options expanded the alumni program, leaning on new partnerships with alumni mentor-run Quetico Foundation US to support week-long trips to places like the BWCA and Montana.

Bolder Options has been recognized as an Expert Partner in mentoring by Mentor Minnesota and the National Mentoring Partnership since 2010.

Boys & Girls Club of Rochester

Austin Braatz wanted to contribute to the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester. This program meant a lot to Austin as a kid growing up in Rochester as a fun, safe space to go after school and play ping pong with friends. The mentoring they provide for kids is essential for success, and their approach to helping the community has been consistent in the 20+ years they’ve been in Rochester. They rely on their partners and volunteers, as well as donations to do what they do. Austin strongly recommends considering giving back to this program so they can continue their great work to serve this community!

Our Mission

To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Our Vision

Provide a world-class Club Experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who enters our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school with a plan for the future, demonstrating good character and citizenship, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

They believe every kid has what it takes. The mission and core beliefs of Boys & Girls Clubs fuel our commitment to promoting safe, positive and inclusive environments for all. Boys & Girls Clubs of America supports all youth and teens – of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic status, and religion – in reaching their full potential. 

Our Great Past

Boys & Girls Clubs of America had its beginnings in 1860 with three women in Hartford, Connecticut - Mary Goodwin, Alice Goodwin and Elizabeth Hammersley. Believing that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative, they organized the first Club. With character development as the cornerstone of the experience, the Club focused on capturing boys interests, improving their behavior and increasing their personal expectations and goals. A cause was born.

In 1906, several Boys Clubs decided to affiliate. The Federated Boys Clubs in Boston was formed with 53 member organizations – this marked the start of a nationwide Movement and our national organization.

In 1931, the Boys Club Federation of America became Boys Clubs of America.

In 1956, Boys Clubs of America celebrated its 50th anniversary and received a U.S. Congressional Charter.

To recognize the fact that girls are a part of our cause, the national organization's name was changed to Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1990. Accordingly, Congress amended and renewed our charter.

2006 marked the Centennial year of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, as we celebrated 100 years of providing hope and opportunity to young people across the country.

PEM Quarterback Club
 

Joe Sveen wanted to donate to the Plainview-Elgin-Millville Quarterback Club.  Once upon a time, Joe was a PEM Bulldog and he believes the Plainview-Elgin-Millville Football program provides a strong foundation to prepare young men for the real world.  The PEM football team was the 2021 Minnesota Class 3A State Runner-up!

The purpose of organizing a booster club will be to support football by including parents, grandparents, alumni, fans, and businesses.  The goal for the group will be to promote the Bulldog Football Teams by increasing fan involvement, holding social events, raising money, and having fun. If interested in being a part of the Bulldog Quarterback Club please contact or Mark Bartsh at 507-534-2854 or stop by the Bulldog Quarterback Club Booth at any Varsity home game

As the year comes to a close, and we experience all of the hope, love, and excitement of the holiday season, we at Realty Growth have so much to be thankful for. Despite the challenges that we all have endured over the last two years, we managed to have a great year and are looking forward to what 2022 has in store for us. Because of this, we want to focus this month on giving back to the community and organizations that have given so much to so many people. 
To help everyone get into the holiday spirit, we wanted to take the time to focus on those in the community that gives so much hope, joy, and love to so many; the amazing nonprofits that serve our wonderful city of Rochester and surrounding communities. We wish that we could spotlight all of the great nonprofits that serve this area, however, if we were to do that the issue would literally be hundreds of pages long!  In fact, did you know that Rochester has one of the highest per capita number of nonprofits in the United States? This is true and is another reason why Rochester is such an amazing place to live and be a part of. 
To show our thanks and gratitude to these organizations, we are continuing to make our year-end donations to various nonprofits. For the past six years, the partners of the firm have asked each individual in our office to choose a nonprofit of their choice to donate to. In turn, Realty Growth will make a donation on their behalf and have the individual personally deliver the check to the organization of their choice. This is an easy way for us to say thank you to non-profits in our area for doing the selfless and amazing work that they do, while also building lasting and meaningful relationships with our community. Being in the non-profit realm is not easy, and it takes an incredible group of people who make it their life mission to serve others. It is because of these people that makes us all better people in this world. So, thank you, to all the nonprofits and your employees that serve those in need! 

I want to wish you a blessed and safe holiday season. This time of year is so special, as much of it is spent with family and friends and reminiscing of years past. I know that for myself personally, this year is extra special, as not only is this the first Christmas I will be spending with my family since the pandemic began, but also because this will be my daughter Nadia's first Christmas! This is truly the most wonderful time of the year, and I wish you and yours nothing but the merriest and happiest of holidays. Cheers to you, and all the best for a successful and prosperous New Year!

Real Deals

Bucky Beeman and Dylan Carty met Ashley and Andrew early on in their entrepreneurial journey. They had an idea to open a store called "Real Deals" which had been run in other states across the Midwest. Ashley was extremely excited to bring this store to Rochester. The Design District of Rochester is where we helped them get a location after looking around and coming back to this space multiple times. The affordability of an old warehouse and being close to other businesses of scale was the deciding factor. Never could we have guessed that Ashley would be this busy and successful in such a short time. Ashley shared that there were many hurdles and roadblocks such as road construction, COVID-19 while getting into business, but overall she has enjoyed it despite having many obstacles early on. Social media live streams were how she combated the issues and made sales while people were at home and not working during the pandemic. These live streams built a community and fanbase through Facebook and Instagram where people could communicate about what products they should buy and why. These online supporters helped Ashley grow to the point where she reached out to Bucky and Dylan with a huge vision that she had for a new location. After a short time and lots of negotiation, they secured a piece of land for a fair deal. At this current moment, Ashley is talking to general contractors and architects to get ready to turn dirt on the new store location. They will be leaving the store on 6th Ave and this site will be for lease and hopefully a springboard for another small business into the community. Come next spring or summer Ashley will have a brand new beautiful store to provide great products to the community. We are so thankful to have the opportunity to work with Ashley and Andrew to get to the next level of business. We are fortunate that they have decided that we are the best firm for them to work with.

Victoria Family

Nick Pompeian met Natalie Victoria about nine years ago at a Post Bulletin networking event at the Rochester Golf and Country Club. I had just got started in commercial real estate and my Dad had mentioned that I needed to go and build my network. Back in those days, networking events are how we met people in hopes of building relationships and our business. I knew Natalie from the many dinners that my family had at the original Victoria’s which was in the Brackenridge Plaza on 2nd Street SW. However, I never had spoken to her in a professional setting such as this.  I will never forget speaking with Natalie that day. One of the first questions she asked was, “Are you working with your dad now?” I remember nervously saying yes. She responded by asking me for my business card, which I vividly remember nervously grabbing out of my coat pocket to give to her. Her final response to me was, “I am going to call you.” 

 I quickly found out that she and her partner were looking for a building as they wanted to start a bar. I knew exactly the building, and after meeting on several occasions, Natalie and Sid Victoria and Christine and Eric Stahl decided to make an offer on the former Hight and Randall building located at 10 3rd Street SW. To make a long story short, that offer was accepted, and the Tap House became a staple in downtown Rochester. Because the Tap House was such a success, a few years later I had the pleasure of working with Natalie and Christine again and represented them in the purchasing of a lot on west circle drive where the Tap House West End sits today.

Throughout the years, I have had the pleasure of building a real friendship with Natalie and the others in her family. We regularly talk about the kids, what they are up to, what vacations they are going on, etc… Natalie has also played a prominent role in my personal life. I met my wife at the Tap House on November 21, 2017. I held her surprise 30th birthday at the Tap House, which I later proposed to her that night. We have had our annual office dinner at Victoria’s for years. Victoria’s served the luncheon at my Dad’s funeral. We have had many family gatherings over the Holidays at Victoria’s. The countless happy hours and late-night beers at the Tap House and Tap House West End provided some wonderful memories. For many of life’s big and memorable events, Natalie and her family have been there serving up their hospitality and love.

I will never forget the moment I met Natalie. I often have thought to myself why, at that time, would someone that is established want to call a young kid like me who had no experience in real estate. The answer is very clear; it was because she saw the potential and wanted to see the next generation grow! And that is exactly what Natalie and Sid are doing with their new restaurant. They are taking a chance on the next generation which I guarantee will be well worth it. 

In closing, I want to say thank you, Natalie, Sid, and Victoria's family. Thank you for taking a chance on a 24-year-old, who had no experience, no resume of sales, and no business working with someone such as yourselves. Thank you for helping me and my family in some of life’s most exciting and difficult times by being there for us when we needed you most. Most of all, thank you for taking a chance on family, being patient, and educating the next generation on how to build a successful business. I am forever grateful to you and your family, and I am so excited to see Sorellina’s come to life. Congratulations a million times over and thank you for all you have done for me, my family, and my business! I am looking forward to continuing the work we have started and built on the strong and meaningful relationship we have with one another. 

Joe Sveen represented the buyer and seller in this transaction.  The buyer, who is a local developer and homebuilder, plans to develop the land into residential lots and eventually start building homes. If you or anyone you know has any potential development land, feel free to give us a call at 507-289-8000 for  free market analysis.
 

Taco JED
Dylan Carty had the opportunity of meeting Steve Dunn the owner of Taco Jed in September of 2017. Steve had been looking for locations in Rochester, Mankato, St cloud, and Duluth to start his new concept taco restaurant. Steve was not from Rochester and had minimal market knowledge but he had built successful restaurant concepts before so he knew what he was looking for. Steve has always joked with Dylan that he picked him to help him find his location because he is a big Bob Dylan fan and it just made sense given his name. Steve and Dylan spent a lot of time together identifying locations and putting together market data before Steve selected Rochester as the site for his 1st location. In October of 2018, Steve opened Taco Jed at 808 S Broadway. Anyone who knows Steve knows he is very active in the restaurant and loves his customers like family and his broker is no different! Steve and Dylan remain good friends and are always in talks about future growth and possible expansion for Taco Jed!

Tyrol Ski & Sport
Austin Braatz chose to highlight Tyrol Ski & Sports, a local small business, who has been supplying outdoor enthusiasts in Rochester with gear since 1965. As one of my favorite stores in town, I go there for all my snowboarding needs. I appreciate how knowledgeable and friendly their staff has been to me over the years, and I jumped at the opportunity to highlight them! They of course specialize in ski and snowboarding products, but also have a great selection of winter clothing. If you’re looking to get some gear this winter I highly recommend checking out what the experienced staff at Tyrol has to offer.

Compassion Acre

Gunnar Grimsrud chose to highlight Compassion Acre Congratulations to Allison Kocak for following her dreams and purchasing her very own commercial building for her doggy daycare business! 

I met Allison around a year ago because she inquired about one of the commercial buildings that RGI had listed near the YMCA. We toured it, discussed pricing, and ultimately decided that the location would not work out for her. However, Allison gave me the great honor of representing her as her Realtor as she continued her search for her dream location. 

Little did we know, this was the start of a grueling 10-month search that was full of rejection, failed negotiations, and heartbreak. However, Allison and I did not view it that way as each rejection and blocked road was a learning experience for us that gave us determination and insight to keep pushing forward. 

Eventually, nearly a year into our search we finally found the perfect spot on Commerce Drive in southwest Rochester. The owner was Jerry Fischer and his wife Ruth; a couple who has had a strong presence in the dog boarding industry for several decades. They were able to see Allison’s vision and dream for the location and after many weeks of negotiation, we were able to close on the sale of 3902 Commerce Ct. 

I am so incredibly proud of Allison for her hard work and determination even through the toughest of times. We faced obstacles that would cause most people to quit but she stayed focused on the goal all along. I am honored to call her a friend, and I cannot wait to see what is in store for her, her family, and her business.

 

Ichi Tokyo

Nate Carty chose Ichi Tokyo as my restaurant to highlight this month because they are the best spot in town for fresh sushi! All you can eat sushi for lunch and dinner is a no-brainer if you're hungry and looking for some creative rolls. They have a huge menu of different hibachi dishes as well if sushi is not your thing. Not to mention their customer service is top-notch, as well as the cleanliness of their restaurants. I try to get there every other week, if not once a week, and have some of their great sushi, and I suggest you try it as well!

First and foremost, I would like to thank all our staff for all their hard work and dedication this year. These past two years have been extremely difficult for everyone, as we all have had to endure the effects of the pandemic. So much has been sacrificed, but we have been so fortunate to be able to continue to do what we have always done; serve our clients and sell real estate. 
We have been extremely busy, and our staff are truly the heartbeat of our organization. With the challenges these past two years have posed, a lot of extra hours, grinding through deals, and showing up has been something that everyone has embraced. Their dedication, passion, and teamwork is evident every day, and for that, I say thank you!
Secondly, I would like to thank my partners. Thank you for riding this crazy wave. Thank you for your support. Thank you for building something together bigger than any of us could imagine. Thank you for being open and honest. Thank you for being you. 
Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to personally thank all of you, our clients, our friends, and our partners. Without you, we could not continue to do what we do. So, thank you for everything that you have done, are doing, and will continue to do. 
In this issue you will see just a few of the many clients that we have been so blessed to help along in their real estate journey.

"Good Morning Newsletter" Realty Growth Inc

When my father started Realty Growth Incorporated in 1978, one of his first orders of business was to create a tagline that separated him from others in his field. The tagline that he created was “Happiness is positive cash flow!” This tagline became synonymous with Ed and Realty Growth and could be found on all of the company marketing material and business cards. It became what Realty Growth was known for; creating happiness for clients through positive cash flow. 

Today, we continue to use this simple yet powerful phrase on a daily basis, and see the same results. Internally, our office closed seven transactions, signed six new purchase agreements, signed two commercial leases, and have eighteen pending sales transactions! This type of activity proves the dedication, expertise and knowledge that our agents, brokers and support staff bring to our industry. This also proves that “happiness is positive cash flow” remains true even to this day, as we have been able to provide our clients with lasting satisfaction and performing assets.

From the broader market, sales and lease transactions have remained steady and continued to transact. Our most recent information based on sales done internally and market information from outside sources has shown an average cap rate of around 6%, with a broad range of sales ranging from $800,000 for commercial land to a $10,000,000 sale for an apartment complex. With all of that said, the market in Rochester remains well and strong! 

In closing, we want to wish you all a wonderful start to the fall season, and hope that you all are doing well, staying healthy, and maintaining that positive cash flow! Thank you again for all that you do, and we look forward to bringing you all of the latest commercial real estate news. 

With Gratitude,

Advice For A First Time Home Buyer
With Austin Braatz

With the market beginning to cool off after one of the most competitive housing markets we’ve ever seen, it is a great time to begin the conversation of how renters can prepare to take the major financial step of owning their first home. 

Educational Information

Did you know that you own your underground water service and underground electric service?  When planning to purchase real estate in the city of Rochester or if you already own, we recommend signing up for Rochester Public Utilities Service Assured.  The Service Assured Underground Utility Repair Program can protect you from unexpected breaks due to age, tree roots, or seasonal change

Status of the Market

The rental market has been very active over the last month. Going into fall we should see a slight downtick in applications submitted for new units, as most people are locking down their leases in the summer months. Prices are holding at a steady rate from where they were about a year ago. The average rent for a 2 bedroom B-Class apartment is hovering right around the $850-$875 mark depending on location.
