Our history with Rod & Kathy Sparks at Woods & Shores out of Aitkin, goes back 18 years when we lived in Wisconsin 2006 and wanted to retire to Minnesota. After much research we chose to go with Woods and Shores to help us find and guide us through the purchase of a home. After many field trips from central to northern MN we found our dream home about 2 hours from the Canadian border. Rod went above and beyond in the property research and Kathy found a creative financial solution to the purchase.
After living in that home for 17 years and our aging process, our children wanted us to move closer to them. We put a call into Woods & Shores and asked them to now oversee the sale of our home and were fortunate to have them there for us once again. They had professional pictures taken, made great suggestions to ensure our best presentation. Low and behold on the first showing we got a full price offer with others on a wait list. From coordinating inspections through the closing, everything was scheduled and completed in a timely manner and within 2 months we moved on over to Wisconsin.
Rod and Kathy are so kind and professional and know every inch of the real estate world on both the buying and selling ends. They both went above and beyond to not only guide us, but allow us to be part of the decision making as well, although we always deferred to them. Even though we know they are extremely busy our communications were always responded to in a timely manner. For 2 major life events the best was there to get us through both a buy and sale.
I would encourage anyone seeking to buy or sell that they utilize the “second to none” services of Rod and Kathy Sparks at Woods and Shores, Aitkin, MN. You will get top notch service and a smooth sailing result which is hard to find in the real estate market.
