Tis the Season! Will it be real or fake?

Tis the season when some of you will put up a Christmas tree.  If putting up a Christmas Tree is your family's tradition, will it be a real or fake tree for you?  Today the Mankato Free Press ran an article laying out the pros and cons to both types of Christmas trees.  We have attached a link to that Christmas Tree article so that you may make the best choice for you and your family. 
Happy Holidays!
The True Team

A Christmas Tree for Nate!

Sometimes The True Team likes to take a break from real estate and share something personal.  -We believe in sharing more of ourselves, it allows you to know us better and feel comfortable sharing with us as well.

Michelle Starkey the listing coordinator, and Jen's "right hand man," lost her 29 year old cousin Nate this past June to his battle with cancer.  In a ceremony last weekend her Aunt Barb was asked to light the United Hands Hospice Tree in Elmore in Nate's honor.  Michelle grew up in Fairmont and several of her family members still live there, including her Aunt Barb and (before his passing) her cousin Nate.  After the lighting ceremony, Barb was interviewed by the Fairmont Sentinel and shared Nate's story.  
We have attached the article so that you may read Nate's story.  He was a funny, easy going, "everybody loved him" kind of man, who definitely left his mark on this world.  
Life is filled with ups and downs for everyone, and we at The True Team want you to know that we care about the things you have going on it your life.  If you need our assistance, even if it isn't real estate related, contact us!   
Peace to you all!
Jen True and The True Team

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

"Gratitude connects us to others, and feeling gratitude allows us to be our best selves.
When we are truly grateful, we can count on living the life we want."

The True Team is grateful for each and everyone of you that has touched our lives, or this business that we love!  Our wish is for you to take a few moments this holiday and reflect on all that you are grateful for.
Blessings to you all!
      Jen, Tyler and Tanner

Elysian's library a new pride and joy

Elysian has pulled together to re-open a library residents are all proud of.  In a time when there are so many "bad news" stories in the paper, it was nice to read this heartwarming article in The Free Press of how the small town of Elysian has come together and re-opened a bigger, better library for its community.

The Trestle Bridge is whole again!

Recently the trestle bridge on the Red Jacket trail has been made whole again!  Flooding in Sept. 2010 caused damage to one of the pillars, and the bridge needed to be re-built.  It was a long project, and this section of the trail remained closed all summer, with trail users having to take a detour around the site. 
Members of The True Team used the trestle bridge for several of their outdoor activities, so we are so happy that the bridge is whole again!
