REALTOR SPOTLIGHT Angie VanEman (507)381-8961 2011 REALTOR Magazines “30 Under 30” Real Estate has been reimagined. Angie VanEman focuses on the needs of today’s consumers. She believes that times have changed and so has real estate. She is a forward thinker at the forefront of the real estate market. The new real estate market is a lot like the old one, only with more technology and information at the fingers of the consumers the second they want it. She focuses on selling your home in the new market place, which is full of technology mixed with the same great customer service her clients are accustomed to. Today’s consumers are more educated and socially connected along with being technology savy. Angie believes her customers deserve the very best representation of their house- in person and online. She believes your home is more than bricks and mortars or an address. It is where things begin, where changes happen, where life occurs. It is your haven, your sanctuary, your office, your playground, your nest, the place where your heart is. Her mission is to be the most forward thinking real estate agents in the marketplace. By doing so she keeps her clients informed on the hottest housing styles, trends in the market, and new listings as soon as they hit the market. Angie is dedicated to the real estate profession, home ownership and the community in which she lives and serves. She’s actively involved in her local Realtors Association serving on several committees that seek to change or support legislation affecting the real estate profession, home ownership and local statewide/nationwide communities. She also actively volunteers within the local community as a member of the greater Mankato growth and the Young Professionals Network, along with Habitat for Humanity. She is also involved with the Toys for Tots organization. She does not measure her success through awards received but by the satisfaction of her clients. Whether are you looking to buy or sell your home she will provide sound trustworthy advice to help you achieve your real estate goals.
