As a company, there are a few things that we
believe
EDUCATION FIRST Our focus in every working relationship is on educating our buyers and sellers to the very best of our ability. If you are well educated, we believe you will feel comfortable with the sales process and be prepared to make the best decisions for yourself.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MATTERS We know the neighborhoods, woods, roads and water. How is the fishing? What length would the school bus ride be? Is this road
plowed in the winter? There are thousands of good questions. Your agent will have answers.
RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT We maintain strong relationships with service providers in our
area that you may need in your purchase or sale. This assures you
that you will have quality answers and solutions when questions or an unexpected problem arise.
TEAMWORK IS ESSENTIAL Our agents are independent, but are supported by the whole of the office. We believe that working together impacts our service in a
powerful way. When we help each other out, we are able to better serve our customers and clients.
NEGOTIATION IS KEY Putting an offer on the table as a buyer, or reviewing an offer that is being presented to you, is a pivotal moment in any search or
sale. Guidance that is clear, informative, and sincere is important.
Our agents will take you through each step with your best interest in mind.
WE ARE A MARKETING COMPANY We are driven by creativity, excellence and innovation. Advertising should be smart and targeted. One checklist does not apply to all,
so expect a plan that is customized to your one-of-a-kind property! Beware, we love to talk marketing!
THIS SHOULD BE FUN We don’t deny that buying and selling real estate can be among
the most important decisions you will make, but we hope it will be fun too. We are privileged to be your guide, and hope that in the end, it is a road you will be glad you traveled.

Seriously Local
because we embrace the Heart of the Lakes
OUR ROOTS START HERE At the heart of who we are, and why we all love what we do, is the Annandale area itself. The Heart of the Lakes, as it has long been
called, is a wonderful lake country area that attracts young families and retirees. Many who once vacationed here now live here full time, and it’s no wonder why. It’s a charming small town with
great schools and endless recreation. It is important to us that
we surpass being just knowledgeable of the area, and that we also
provide you with service that goes above and beyond. As clients of ours, you will be treated like a neighbor... because you are. There
are a couple of things at the core of what “Seriously Local” means:
NICHE MARKETING Our focus is here. We know the local market, and its history,
extremely well. If you’re looking at property and want to know
specifics about fishing or a local school bus route, we have your
answers. If you’re selling, these are things your buyer will want to
know about too. As an independently-owned office, we make all of our own decisions, and at the heart of those decisions are what is best for serving our clients and the community.
LOCALLY-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY We won’t adopt a tool or system just to impress you, but we will implement technology that makes sense for you as a buyer or
seller. For that reason our web site, www.oakrealtymn.com, is use-
ful and full of local information. It offers quick links to area lakes, a fantastic map search, and upcoming open house information.
Our daily hot list is a favorite, and the only resource of its kind for immediate updates solely on the Heart of the Lakes market.
HEART FOR THE COMMUNITY This area is much more than the place we work. We are all active in the community, from various non-profit/civic groups to lake
associations, schools and churches. We love participating in local traditions like Annandale’s historic 4th of July parade and the
Chili Cook-Off, among many others. We also join in to support other surrounding communities in their celebrations as well.

What a Sweet Taste For thousands of years, honey in its raw form has been used not only as a sweetener, but also as a natural healer for all kinds
of ailments. Recently it seems that people have chosen homesteading and living off the land as their renewed way of life. Beekeeping has become a valuable addition to land owner's yard and gardens with many benefits as they become more self reliant.
While bees stimulate our gardens to explode with color throughout the seasons, beyond its delicious taste lies something of a
miracle food. By adding honey to your medicine cabinet the benefits may include; reducing the risk of cancer from flavonoids and antioxidants, it can be used as an anti-bacterial & an anti-fungal and to soothe a sore throat.
Bees are an essential link to our food chain as their role is to pollinate our vegetation across the globe. Recently seven species
of bees were placed on the endangered species list, because of this beekeeping has gained popularity. Today more than ever it is relatively easy to enter the world of beekeeping with many resources readily available. If you choose to take on a beehive of your own, you'll certainly enjoy the benefits. This local beekeeper had a great first year and currently has harvested 30 jars of honey. Happy beekeeping!

The Story of thePuzzle
It all started when we wanted to have some fun creating a puzzle, Oak Realty likes fun and loves Annandale memorabilia…that’s why we think of ourselves as Seriously Local. We began with a vintage photo of Main Street-Annandale, then added Annandale’s slogan ‘Heart of the Lakes’ and completed the image using a collage of photos taken from our archive of ‘old’ memorabilia. As you work on this puzzle, we truly hope this takes you back in time and jogs your memories of Annandale’s history, or you’re able to learn a bit about the ‘Heart of the Lakes’ rich background. They are offered for sale at Kaz Hardware, Annandale -pick one up for yourself, your family or your friends.

He was part owner of local appraisal company Dagner & Associates in Annandale, which gave Gary a knowledge of local real estate by observing both active and sold sides of the market. He is also experienced in the distressed property market (short sales and foreclosures). For the past 22 years he has been an active, full time agent in real estate. STEVE BRUGGEMAN
DEAN HOGLUND
B r ok e r/O wne r, REALTOR®, CRS, G RI
A s s oc i a te B r ok e r
Steve, owner/broker of Oak Realty, joined his father in the family business in 1986. In 2000, he took over the company and today is the backbone of what he says is the “best team of Realtors® around.” He says Oak separates itself from others by an unmatched strength in niche marketing. “We have a limited number of agents that are specialists in an area they truly love, many have spent most or all of their lives living in the Greater Annandale Area.”
A lifetime resident of the Hasty, Silver Creek, Monticello, Maple Lake and Annandale areas, Dean’s career background has spanned a variety of positions in real estate sales, land and business development. He has owned a number of small businesses and also three real estate companies. Dean has extensive experience as a real estate agent and got his Broker’s license in 1992. Before joining Oak Realty as an Associate Broker, he owned and operated Lake Country Properties and Real Estate in Maple Lake, Emily and Outing.
He is proud of Oak’s strong philosophy of quality customer service, and the focus the company maintains on accurately understanding client needs and working together as a team. Paying attention to detail and getting the right information is the key to building successful personal relationships with clients and finding them the right property, he says. Steve moved to Annandale at the age of 11, and grew up on Pleasant Lake where he resides today with his wife Kelly. He is a motorcycle enthusiast and enjoys traveling with his family.
Dean and his wife Bonnie live on Pleasant Lake in Annandale. They are blessed with three children and seven grandchildren.
He is a past president of the Lions Club and Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Pleasant Lake Association. He says the best parts of his job have been taking over the family business, showing others the area and lakes, and enjoying the atmosphere created by the people who work at Oak.
Steve specializes in investment properties and high-end vacation homes, and says he is a big believer in Annandale, “It’s a great place to invest in.” Steve has been designated a Super Real Estate Agent in 2014, 2015 and 2019. Steve was also mane on of the ‘Best Real Estate Professionals’ from Minnesota Montly in 2019 and 2020.

HISTORY Oak Realty was founded in 1974 when Don Bruggeman purchased Daryl Gunnarson Realty, and changed the name to Oak Realty after
its location on Oak Avenue, Annandale’s charmed Main Street. Our
red and white leaf was born and along with it, a tradition of providing quality real estate service in the Heart of the Lakes area.
In 1986 Don’s son Steve joined the business. Opportunities to own lakeshore property were abundant in those days. Lake homes and cabins in
the area ranged from $40,000-$100,000 and real estate companies literally held the keys to their front doors. The Sunday Star Tribune was widely-agreed to be the resource for new listings, and buyers often came through our office door with that ad in hand, eager to look at property.
We expanded into the 90's and outgrew the office on Main Street. In 1996 Oak built a new office with more space and visibility on Highway
55. Steve purchased the business in 2000, and soon after the Internet began to change the industry in profound ways. By 2001 we had our
first web site and the fat MLS books were collecting dust in the corner. Oak Realty acquired Lake Country Properties in neighboring Maple Lake in 2007, our local presence expanded to two offices, and our staff grew again. In 2019 we celebrated a milestone, 45 years in business. The
anniversary also marked a new beginning. Though excited about where
perseverance and hard work has brought the company in its early years, ANGIE BOYER O ff ice Manage r/M a rke t i n g
Angie joined Oak Realty in its Annandale Office in June 2009. She grew up in Annandale on Clearwater Lake and is raising her family in her hometown she loves dearly and the place her family has called home their entire lives.

Angie also manages lakeshore vacation rentals through the Oak Realty office. She enjoys working with such a close-knit group, and for a hometown company where there is opportunity to give back to the community she loves. In her free time, Angie treasures spending time with her family, her husband Shawn, daughter Justice and son Chance, labs Sarge and Jackson, being active in her children’s activities and relaxing at her parents’ lake home. “I also enjoy going on motorcycle rides, traveling and camping.” She loves the changing of seasons and the array of colors the Heart of the Lakes displays year-round. 56

we’re even more excited about what lies ahead.
Our approach to business has changed greatly due to the shift in how
buyers and sellers can obtain information. Over the years, however, the true relationship between agent and client hasn’t changed. Since our
founding over 46 years ago, our success has been carried by our abil-
ity to build long-lasting relationships. Relationships based on honesty, respect and fair business practices. We love taking our customers for a drive through the area and educating them on the various lakes, neigh-
borhoods and their histories. While the majority of today’s buyers (and
sellers) have done research online before speaking to an agent, many are quick to realize there is a lot to learn about this area, and a visit with a local expert is a great place to start.
We are proud to be an innovative company. We enjoy seeking new so-
lutions to bring into our business and have continued to do so as we grow and change. We want tools that help us do our job better and
more efficiently, and systems that help you buy or sell property with
greater confidence. While no one can predict the future, it seems al-
most a certainty that the Heart of the Lakes will continue to retain its warm character and draw new people to its lakes and countryside. For
those that its lifestyle appeals to, (frankly, we wonder how it couldn’t) our friendship and services will be there.
