Personal Background
Desiree was born and raised in the south metro and her family now lives in Farmington with their giant golden Lab. They spend every minute they can in the great outdoors.

Desiree geeks out about cooking and baking and admits she might have a slight obsession with cookbooks. Her goal is to someday own a vast portfolio of her own investment properties, including the perfect lake home where she and her family can enjoy all four seasons.

Her enthusiasm for her clients shines through her work and is nothing short of contagious. “Finding the perfect balance of logic and emotion for my clients is crucial to a smooth transaction. Leading buyers through a fragile market and genuinely representing sellers with intention are my main objectives. I find the most success by utilizing my resources, and being flexible and consistent in everything I do.”

Professional Summary
• Licensed Realtor in Minnesota & Wisconsin
• Relocation Certified
• MFI (Moving Families Initiative)
• Member of Saint Paul Association of Realtors (SPAAR)
• Member of National Association of Realtors
• Investment Certified

Personal Background
Hannah was born and raised in Rosemount and discovered her love of real estate when she became a marketing consultant for a few real estate agents right out of college. She quickly pursued her newfound dream and didn’t take long to adapt to her exciting new career. Now, she lives with her daughter, Anora, in Lakeville where they spend most of their evenings playing with Legos and breaking out into random dance parties. From the time she was a baby, Anora has enjoyed the occasional ride along with her mom and is now an absolute pro at showings! In their free time they enjoy movie nights, camping, bike rides, going to the zoo and visiting family. Time together is the most important and real estate allows Hannah to have a flexible schedule for her daughter. Hannah works to live and lives to work, as she’s passionate for her family AND her career.

“I am totally guilty of ‘geeking out’ about real estate! I love what I do and am not afraid to show it. My days are never the same; I get to work with all sorts of families and personalities, and I’m always learning something new. Anywhere from first-time buyers to flipping houses, I could talk for hours!! I also geek out about the little things like the perfect coffee mug, essential oils, a good glass of wine and movie quotes.”

Filled with buying, selling, renovations, meeting with contractors and staging homes, Caarin and Joe often feel like they’re living on the set of “Fixer Upper” or “House Hunters.” Although, they wouldn’t have it any other way. When she’s not “geeking out” about real estate, Caarin is passionately supporting the Local Supporting Local movement, pinning anything “up north” on her Pinterest boards or taking the kayak out for a spin. Joe stays busy on the mortgage side of things, plays Mr. Fix-It on the Pannkuk family renovation projects and volunteers as a Lakeville firefighter. They love spending time at the family cabin and helping others realize their real estate dreams.
