NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY! Low rates, low house prices PLUS A REBATE!

Whether selling or buying/building or both, Prouty can help every step of the way.

His company, Get a Rebate Real Estate does just what its name says – part of the sales commission is returned to the buyer/seller after closing. Rebates range anywhere from $100 to $3,500 or more depending on the sales price. Being a full service brokerage, buyers and sellers do nothing different, yet receive the rebate after closing.

The seller or builder pays all commission on all MLS listed property, so there is no cost to the buyer for taking advantage of this great benefit. Rebates are 100 percent allowed in Minnesota and 39 other states, a great benefit to Minnesota consumers.

“People appreciate it,” he said. “It is my way to thank them for selecting me as their agent. I realize they have a lot of choices. Since other agents share the commission with their brokerage, as the broker I can share it with my clients and everyone is happy. The rebate is optional, but I haven’t had anyone turn it down yet.”

Prouty says it really works well for those looking to build also. Not only does the builder pay the commission, but Prouty helps negotiate to get the best price and upgrades, and you receive the rebate after closing. Many buyers use it toward blinds, new furniture, or a new flat screen.

The four-time Mpls. St. Paul Magazine “Super Real Estate Agent” is also one of less than 4 percent nationwide of all Realtors to be a Certified Residential Specialist.

Prouty takes his job very seriously, and it shows from the several testimonials he has received. He treats everyone with respect, honesty and integrity and is always looking out for your best interest. He guarantees you will be happy working with him.

Prouty also has teamed up with a local law firm to handle “short sales”. Prouty takes care of the real estate part, the attorney and his staff takes care of the negotiating with the bank and any special forms. There is typically no out of pocket cost to the seller.

So if you are looking for a fair, hard working real estate company to help you or someone you know sell, buy, and/or build, give Get a Rebate Real Estate a try and get great service and cash back in your pocket! A true win-win!

At Clothes Mentor, it has become fun and trendy to shop resale instead of retail Karla Fitzpatrick, owner of Clothes Mentor in Burnsville, became a franchisee in December 2009, and since that time, she said she has seen notable growth in sales at a time when many other women’s retail stores are struggling or going out of business entirely.

“Business has been steadily growing since I opened up the door.”

Fitzpatrick attributes the success of her store to the fact that you can get 3 or 4 outfits for the price of one in the mall. A few brands available are Ann Taylor, Gap, Limited, Ralph Lauren, Motherhood & Coach.

“We buy and resell very gently used, preloved clothing, shoes, purses and accessories in better brands.

“Items should be current fashions within two years of purchase,” she said. “It’s a clothing store for all wom-

en sizes 0 to 26 and maternity.”

Unlike a consignment store, Fitzpatrick pays cash on the spot for inventory, so customers do not have to wait for their items to sell before they get paid. Moreover, Fitzpatrick is proud of the look of her store, which she said is starkly different from the stereotype of consignment and resale stores.

Fitzpatrick said her store is not a dimly lit, musty and messy store.

Instead, she said it is often mistaken for a specialty retailer. At the same time, it is not the high-end boutique where some women might feel uncomfortable shopping.

Fitzpatrick, who had been in the women’s retail business since 1989, began looking for franchise opportunities in women’s apparel at the right time.

A fresh approach to K-8 education One local charter school aims to “feed the cu cu-rious mind, enrich the open mind, and chal chal-lenge the inquisitive mind,” and for seven years, it has done just that.

Paideia Academy is a charter school ser serving ving nearly 400 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Its mission is to “challenge and inspire learners by providing a rigorous, con con-tent-rich, classical education incorporating languages, music, and the arts while nurturing positive character development.” The academy was started by local parents Amy Monson and Tona T ona Dove, who sought to create a yearlong learning environment to provide a challenging academic environment in smaller-sized classes than those found in a typical public school. Af Af-ter securing funding, an authorizer in Friends of Education, a Minnesota nonprofit, and ap ap-proval from the Minnesota Department of Education, Paideia Academy opened its doors in August 2005.

In Greek, “Paideia” (pronounced ‘pie-day-ah’) means “to educate,” and in keeping with that classical language reference, the students’ curcurriculum incorporates elements of “Classical EdEducation.” As defined on the school’s school’s website, a classical education “develops the skills that are essential in higher education and throughout life: independent learning, critical thinking, logical analysis and a lifelong love for learn learn-ing.” It is just one of several ways Paideia difdif-

fers from a typical public school.

“W “We We focus on language and the arts, and we have music incorporated,” said Paideia teach teach-er Jayne Largent. “W “We We also have smaller class sizes, with around 22 students in a typical eleelementar y class, which allows us to give students mentary more one-on-one time.”

As a state-funded charter school, Paideia Acad Acad-emy does not charge tuition. Prospective stu stu-dents enroll through a lotter y system. The lottery current wait list is around 20 deep for most of the school’ school’ss lower grades. Grades are broken up into a lower academy with grades k-5, and an upper academy with grades 5-8. Largent defines fifth grade as “a transitional year” be be-tween the two. According to Largent, Paideia Academy students scored above the state in both reading and math, and compared to other students in the Rosemount/Apple V a alley/Eagan Valley/Eagan area, the school’ school’ss scores are slightly higher in the area of math, and just about even in the area of reading.

“The inclusion of arts and language are draws,” Largent said. “Y Yo ou can really tell that children “You are at the center of ever ything we do here. W everything Wee encourage interested students and families to come tour the school. After giving Paideia a look, most can tell that we are positive in a dif dif-ferent way y, and wind up on our waiting list.” way,

Airic’s Heating business soars, just like its owners Adam and Eric Will work very hard at their jobs so they can play even harder.

Their residential and commercial heating business took off since they began working together in 2004 as owners of Airic’s Heating, LLC. Brothers, Adam and Eric graduated from Jordan High School and attended technical school; then they gained professional experience before launching their family-owned business. Airic’s Heating sells top brands such as Carrier and Lennox and services and installs heating, air conditioning, ventilation, boilers, in-floor heating and geothermal temperature controls.

When they outgrew the home-based business, they expanded to their current Burnsville location and hired an office manager who could settle any problems that arise between the sibling co-owners — their mom Kathy.

“They have their moments, but they work hard seven days a week and I’m very proud of them.

Both of them earned their master licenses and are North American Technician Excellence certified,” Kathy said.

They work hard so they can play hard. Recently, they bought a plane together and have taken flying lessons.

“Since the business has taken off, they don’t have a lot of time to take off in the Piper, but they will,” she said.

Don’t look for Adam or Eric in the skies anytime soon. An $89 fall special for a tune-up and programmable thermostat is sure to keep them grounded for

For more than 40 years, one local company has sold more than alarm systems – it has sold peace of mind.

Trans-Alarm’s security systems operate in the United States and around the globe, but the company calls Burnsville home. More than 105 people are employed in its corporate headquarters at 500 East Travelers Trail, and central monitoring and installation staff is also located in the area. This local touch is one of the things that set it apart from the residential and business security system company’s competition, said president and CEO Steve Champeau.

While the idea of securing property is as old as the idea of property itself, there have been many recent technological changes in the industry allowing clients more control over their systems. Now, “remote control” features for smart phones and computers allow users to arm or disarm their systems, receive e-mail or text messages containing notifications that a system has been armed or disarmed, turn lights on or off, control the home’s thermostat and allow the user to view video from any cameras on the property. The software can also notify owners of any flooding in laundry rooms or basements, and allow owners to set temporary passwords to allow access

to the property.

“This technology has changed dramatically in the last several years,” Champeau said.

Residential security options vary depending on the local market, but can include door contacts and motion detectors. Other options include the ability to detect a drop in temperature during the winter months to alert a homeowner to a possible heat system failure, and thus prevent any burst pipes in the resulting freeze. Trans-Alarm’s security systems include a battery backup in case of power failure, and offer the option of a cellular backup in case a phone line is rendered inoperative.

Customers are also interested in monitoring spaces inside of the home, like liquor cabinets, wine cellars and gun safes, Champeau said. While the basic technology for that has been available for some time, wireless services have made it more affordable for the customer.

“The reasons that customers choose to put in a system vary dramatically by market segment, but peace of mind is always a key driver,” Champeau said. “From a commercial perspective,

applications are put in place to deter internal theft as well as address external threat issues.”

The technology for residential and commercial alarm systems is similar, but the two differ in that commercial alarm systems take into account the amount of activity at a business and when it occurs. For example, an alarm being set late at night or deactivated early in the morning could indicate employee theft. Commercial systems are also more capable of being networked with other systems around the world. TransAlarm currently specializes in providing security systems for corporate campuses, healthcare, public utilities, retail chain stores, local municipalities, education facilities and financial services.

Commercial system features can include biometrics, overhead door contacts, interior motion detectors, silent hold-up alarms and mechanical monitoring. Card access systems and fire alarm systems are also available.

Looking towards the future, Champeau said that more technological changes could be expected through the continued integration of smart phone

technology. Customers can currently use an Internet portal to view activity on a real time basis, in addition to viewing cameras in property.

“Most of our new clients are electing to use the new technology, and as use of phone lines continues to decline, we’re finding more clients using smart phone [integrated systems],” Champeau said. “Historically, alarm panels have communicated through phone lines.

More recently, they are using the Internet or cellular transmissions.”

While the technology to achieve a secure business or residence may change, good customer service is always on the cutting edge.

“Part of what we are most proud of is that we view this calling to be in the life safety business as a significant way to build a company,” Champeau said.

“We’re actually doing our monitoring from Burnsville, and we’re proud to be able to grow revenues and add jobs during our 40 years. That says a lot towards our customer service and the integrity with which we conduct business here.”

What is Uponor?

Ever passed by that big, white building on Johnny Cake Ridge in Apple Valley with the American, Canadian and Finnish flags outside or seen an Uponor truck on the road and wondered what that company was all about?

Believe it or not, you probably have or know someone who has Uponor product in their home or business.

Uponor (pronounced OOP-uh-nor) manufactures a flexible plastic tubing called PEX, an acronym for crosslinked polyethylene, which is used in plumbing, fire sprinkler and radiant floor heating/cooling systems.

For those of you familiar with copper or CPVC pipe for plumbing, you might be surprised to know that PEX is actually now installed more often in new-home construction than copper and CPVC combined.

This is because of the extreme durability and cost-effectiveness of PEX. PEX resists corrosion, pitting and scaling and, due to its flexibility, can even help resist freeze damage. Add to that durability the fact that the price of PEX is much more stable compared to copper and you can see why builders, homeowners and building owners are choosing PEX for their plumbing systems.

Uponor also offers a unique addition to its plumbing system that actually provides safety for homes. It’s called AquaSAFE™, which combines fire sprinklers with a home’s coldwater plumbing to provide fresh water to sprinklers if it’s ever needed in the event of a fire.

the King of Sweden. Today, Uponor North America employs 380 people in the United States and Canada with its parent company, Uponor Corporation, headquartered in Vantaa, Finland. Uponor Corporation employs more than 3,100 people in 30 countries worldwide.

A strong supporter of community involvement, Uponor North America is an active member of the local Twin Cities business environment, including the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, in 2007, Uponor received the Chamber’s Business of the Year award in recognition of the company’s growth, development potential and commitment to sustainable corporate practices.

“At a time when many manufacturers have been leaving the country, Uponor is leading the way into our new green economy with clean, energyefficient manufacturing research and development techniques,” says Apple Valley Mayor Mary Hamann-Roland.

“Their core values are in line with our community values. They are a company that is highly environmentally minded.”

Uponor also encourages its employees to volunteer by offering paid time off to support local charities and also provides a matching gifts program to double the funds employees donate to their favorite cause. In addition, Uponor’s Volunteer Committee coordinates various community events, including blood drives and Christmas gift donations.

A trend that began in the Twin Cities in the 70’s and has spread to other parts of the country, senior cooperative housing means joint ownership and operation of a housing development by those who live in it.

Members purchase a share in the corporation, which entitles them to live in a unit and receive equal voting status in electing the cooperative’s board of directors. A low monthly fee covers the mortgage and taxes, plus a wide

Hughes points out that while other cooperatives might have lower monthly fees, it isn’t comparing apples to apples.

Residents can choose from 10 different floor plans, each with individual heat and air; washer and dryer; balcony; storage rooms; and heated parking. Residents also have access to garden plots, car wash, woodworking shop, fitness center, library, van transportation, full-time maintenance and guest rooms for family.

Parkway cooperative residents share all of the perks, delegate the chores We’ve all dreamed of living where we can spend more time doing our favorite activities and leave the chores, such as mowing the yard or cleaning out the guest room to someone else.

In the heart of Burnsville, across from a flourishing marketplace, Parkway Cooperative of Burnsville residents are living that dream.

Seated around a large kitchen table, neighbors talk over coffee and a pan of home-baked brownies, while the day-to-day grind of the building’s maintenance and operation are in the capable hands of three staff members: Sandy Hart, Bruce Mueller and Matt Young.

“I’ve been property manager for 11 years and I’ve stayed because of the wonderful, vibrant people who live here,” said Hart. She started writing the resident activity schedule on a standard sheet of paper, “but now I can barely squeeze it all on a legal size pad. They stay active.”

The cooperative concept is designed for people age 55 and older who may be ready to downsize but still want an active role in their community. In exchange for purchasing shares in the corporation, residents can live in one of the 102 units, which vary between 10 styles and sizes. Each shareholder is a voting member

when important decisions need to be made. For example, when Parkway Cooperative residents learned that “Maintenance Man” Mueller is also an accomplished photographer, they voted to decorate common areas of the building with his framed photographs.

“Sometimes those important decisions include how often to schedule casino trips, who will water the flowers or what time ‘social hour’ starts,” laughed Hart. “At other times, they are helping to draft an annual budget, secure bids and contracts or to make policy changes if needed.”

More than 30 percent of the residents are original shareholders of the corporation, which began in 1997. Voted twice as “Best Retirement Community” by This Week/Sun Newspapers, the residence includes several amenities: underground parking with a car wash area, a library with thousands of books and periodicals, individual garden plots, same-floor extra storage closets, three spare guest rooms, a craft room, and a woodworking shop.

A limited number of units are currently available. To schedule a tour or for more information, contact Hart at (952) 895-8526 or email her at parkwaycoop@tds.net.

Good to Go Construction Inc.

License #BC561206

Now is the time to get started on your fall home remodeling projects and the first step is finding a good contractor. If you are looking for someone different from other companies, check out Good to Go Construction Inc., of Lakeville.

Good to Go Construction is a fully licensed Minnesota general contractor specializing in siding, window replacement, decks, seamless gutters and general remodeling. They are a member of the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and have an A+ rating.

What makes Good to Go Construction different from other companies? Many window and siding contractors have an entire organization that is dedicated to making sales. Sales managers, sales trainers and oodles of salesmen, but when it is time to start the work, they are nowhere in sight. The work is often subcontracted to poorly paid and often poorly trained subcontractors. Good to Go Construction is different from other contractors in every sense of the word. The company’s focus is construction and their motto is “service and value.” They offer a consultative experience rather than a high pressured sale. Further, Good to Go Construction has actual employees, not subcontractors. This flat structure allows them to use better skilled people to do the actual construction work. Because the installers are more highly trained and experienced, they can do

the difficult jobs that other window and siding contractors can’t or shouldn’t do.

“When you hire Good to Go Construction, Inc. for your home improvement project, you can be confident that the job is being done right,” said Mike Lusic, owner and manager since 1995.

At Good to Go Construction, quality and customer satisfaction are priority number one.

They approach each job as if your house was their house. This means they first start with the best quality products – brands that you know and trust. Then they install the siding, windows and gutters with top quality workmanship, just as if it was their home.

Company management has more than 40 years of construction experience in Minnesota home remodeling. Based in Lakeville, the company does construction projects all around the Twin Cities area.

For a free home estimate, contact the company at 952-454-4514 or freeestimates@goodtogoconstruction. Check out detailed information about the company’s products and services on their web site, www.goodtogoconstruction.com.

Good to Go Construction Inc proudly stands behind their work and reputation and encourages the consumer to always check the Better Business Bureau for any contractor they plan to do business with.

Tour a home remodeled by Plekkenpol Builders at the Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase Entry R30.

When you trust the Plekkenpol team with your remodeling project, you will receive expert guidance and a genuine concern for all facets of your remodeling experience. "The Difference is in the Details" and it shows in every Plekkenpol project. You are invited to experience the difference first hand at their Remodelers Showcase entry R30 at 8901 Southwood Drive in Bloomington on September 28 - 30, Friday 1 to 7 PM, Sat and Sunday noon to 6 PM. Join Plekkenpol Builders to explore this main level remodel of a 1958 Rambler. The original living room was used as an office and felt distant from the other areas of the home.

Custom built shelving and storage now allow the office/den to operate efficiently and effectively for the professional who offices onsite.

Plekkenpol removed a wall separating the kitchen and dining room to create a larger kitchen area with an informal eating area plus a corner booth resulting in openness from one side of the home to the other. New custom enameled Shaker style cabinetry in contrasting finishes with glass insets and nickel pulls include all the bells and whistles (pull outs, self closing doors and drawers, pull up mixer compartment). Flooring in the kitchen, front entry and office were replaced with a Lauzon Hard Maple flooring to create a more inviting flow between the rooms. Stainless steel appliances (Bosch

dishwasher, Electrolux double oven, LG French door fridge, Wolf cooktop, Panasonic microwave and Vent a Hood hood vent were chosen and accented with Sarasota blend brick layout tile backsplash with glass and stainless steel tile pieces. A custom wrought iron railing replaced the existing front entry railing creating a more open entryway. Quote from the Homeowner “Starting from the initial exploratory phone call to the minor details of the completion, Plekkenpol met or surpassed our expectations. Our Plekkenpol representative followed up with us immediately, listened to our thoughts and vision and provided a complete quote within the timeframe that we all agreed to”.

Combining adjacent rooms and extending the sightline while redefining the use of space to meet a particular need is a common reason to remodel. Relying on Plekkenpol Builders to cultivate your unique space will bring you exceptional results. Visit their website at www.plekkenpol.com for project details, a virtual tour and directions to the upcoming event. Call Plekkenpol Builders at (952)-8882225 to schedule an appointment for a complimentary consultation and begin improving your home today.
