Celebrating 35 Years – Part II

Oak stickers have been on our cars for many years!

Oak Realty's first office on Oak Avenue, Annandale's Main Street

In the lake for some creative marketing!

Our billboard has changed over the years... remember this one?

New office under construction. Oak moves to Highway 55!

In Part III, take a look at Oak today and where we are headed. A lot has changed for our industry in the last few years. We’ll share our insights on the local market, new trends in marketing that we’re following, and how we approach the challenges today’s buyers and sellers are facing. Until next time!

Celebrating 35 Years – Part I

Oak Realty marks its 35th year in business in 2009. We’re running ads and raising a glass, but the real fun in anniversary’s is taking a look back at where it all started. We opened the office archives to recall (for some of us) and see (for some of us) what real estate in the Heart of the Lakes was like three decades ago!

We think you’ll enjoy reading these old ads! Tomorrow… some old photos!

Golf Day for Jake

Amy, Tom, Gary and Justin ready to play!

Last Friday a handful of Oak Team members hit the golf course for the Jake Sundblad Memorial Golf Tournament, held annually at Albion Ridges. Records were set in Minnesota that day for low temps in July, but the wind and chill didn’t stop anyone from having a great time.

Tiffini teamed up with her father and brothers for the event.

Congrats to Tiffini who brought home a “closest to the pin” award. Carla especially thanks everyone who showed their support. Come out and play next year!

Sky Cam at HOLT

Our Sky Cam was used this past weekend to capture the set-up of this year’s Heart of the Lakes Triathlon – check out this short clip of 164 images in fast-forward!

Passing Storm on Pleasant Lake

If you were in the area last night, and watching out the window as a line of storms passed through around 8:30 pm, perhaps you caught a glimpse of this gorgeous rainbow…

It only appeared for a few minutes, and as the wall of clouds rolled East and the sun broke out behind it, it disappeared. But wow, was it an awesome sight!
