REALTOR SPOTLIGHT

Matt Brostrom Broker Associate

I have lived in southern Minnesota and surrounded by the real estate business for most of my life. Growing up in our family business of real estate and insurance, I am currently a 4th generation agent. I started working very young in the construction business where I got experience in building homes from the ground up. After graduating from Iowa State with a degree in finance and real estate, I moved to Florida where I did property management, as well as real estate sales. With a license in both insurance and real estate, along with an extensive industry background, I can make sure that both buying or selling a home is as smooth as possible. Pell Real Estate was founded by father and son, Hartley Pell and Bill Pell in 1962 and with hard work and dedication Pell has been able to maintain a great presence in St. Peter for over 50 years. At Pell’s we strive to offer the most complete real estate listings and believe customer satisfaction is job number one. Our goal is getting the best value for each client’s individual needs and interest. We look forward to the continuing those successful relationships for many more years to come.

Joel Brinker

Hi, I’m Joel... I’m originally from St. Peter and I still call it home. I became interested in houses and construction at an early age. I remember helping my father install hardwood flooring when he worked as a carpenter. Working on older houses became my special talent. I found that restoring houses that had “good bones” put us in a position of being the caretakers of people’s homes and memories. These passions developed into Real Estate and to helping people find the right houses and property that they could turn their dreams into homes Joining CENTURY 21 Landmark Realtors is like coming home to a family that works together, plays together and “have each other’s back” when needed. I look forward to serving you in all your Real Estate needs. Call 507-340-5637

5 Cheap Ways to Renovate Your Kitchen and Sell Your Home Selling your home can sometimes involve spending money on home improvements that can put a dent in your wallet, especially when it comes to updating your kitchen. Fortunately, there are low-cost alternatives for kitchen renovations so it will stand out to buyers interested in your home and create the best first impression. Here are 5 easy and inexpensive ways to make your kitchen stand out without busting your budget. PAINT A fresh coat of paint is a quick and relatively cheap way to add some color and brighten up your kitchen for a great eye-catching look. Painting the walls with a lighter color will open up the kitchen, making it look brand new and bigger. LIGHTING Adding under cabinet lighting is a cheap way to update your kitchen. Strip lights and puck lights are especially helpful because they cast light onto the countertop. When choosing the type of light bulb, it is important to know that although fluorescent bulbs and L.E.D.’s save energy, they don’t show certain colors accurately, including reds, oranges or purples. Halogen and xenon lights do not save as much energy, but they show colors more accurately. ORGANIZERS Cabinet organizers, which can be as low as $30, are also a great way to update your kitchen. For a clean look and more appealing kitchen, it is important to make sure everything in your kitchen and cupboards are organized, which will allow you to take advantage of wasted cabinet corners. FLOORING Kitchen flooring can become very expensive in a hurry. Depending on the flooring currently installed, you should evaluate your options as you get ready to put your home on the market. For a cheap and simple option, consider adding area rugs and carpet runners to make your kitchen impress homebuyers without the major expense. REARRANGING Lastly, an easy and cheap way to update your kitchen is by moving things around. If there is an eating area in the kitchen, you can open up some new space by rearranging the table and chairs. It is all about eye flow when you walk into a kitchen for the first time, so moving things around can make a world of difference.

Décor Layering Tips From Top Designers One of the hottest new home design trends among interior designers is layering unique patterns and textures throughout various rooms in your home. This layering technique creates heightened visual interest and will catch the eyes of your guests and potential home buyers the moment they set foot through the front door. Get inspired to layer elements in your home with these new and innovative ideas! FANCY FRAMES An empty wall holds endless potential. If the room is small, expand your space with a mirror collage featuring a variety of shapes and varnishes. Is your heart set on colorful patterned wallpaper? Showcase your favorite print in a large frame for a beautiful living room backdrop to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Art fans should collect a variety of frames in different finishes and styles to create a living room gallery. PILLOW PATTERNS While it’s fun to mix and match pillows, certain textures complement each other better than others. For example, linens and wool tend to look better with woven fabrics, while shiny and matte fabrics are best kept separate. Mixing contrasting textures such as silk and corduroy calls for a strong sense of design confidence, but it can be done. RUGS GALORE Start with a flat, neutral rug as your foundation and then add a smaller accent rug on top. Investing in a large rug with a subdued color is wise, but have fun with the accent rug. Whether cowhide or a geometric print, choose a similar color scheme and play with the positioning by placing the top rug at a purposeful angle. DRAB TURNED FAB When thinking about your space, it’s important to remember that design inspiration can be found anywhere. Look for antique candleholders or paperweights. Check out antique shops or thrift stores for hidden treasure.. When traveling, visit flea markets and local art fairs. Transform an old object like a rustic slab of wood into a glossy countertop for your kitchen island. No matter where you travel, keep an eye out for timeworn treasurers for your home.
