Hi! I am Laurie Tweten, Realtor/Broker Associate at Oxford Realty in Grand Forks, ND. I am a 32-year resident of Grand Forks, ND. I love my community, and love helping it grow and prosper. I am the proud mother of 3 great kids Morgan, Christian, and Coby. I am also the Stepmom of 2 fantastic young ladies, Janna and Andrea. I am also the Lucky Grandma of 4 soon to be 5 wonderful Grandchildren!Before beginning my real estate career, I was a 7th grade Health teacher at South Middle School, here in Grand Forks,Real Estate has always been an interest of mine, and I became much more intrigued when my husband began building homes. Along with Buyer and Seller Representation, I have extensive experience in the areas of, Lots and Land, New Home Construction, Investment Properties, and Commercial Sales. I feel that my involvement in my community is crucial to my professional expertise in Real Estate! Currently I am enjoying strengthening and expanding my business reach into the Minnesota Lakes Area. I have a Lake home on Lake Bemidji and have been busily learning about the real estate market in this area, as well as personally getting involved with the everchanging recreational housing market. I am also digging into my own family roots in the area which run very deep. By staying very involved in the communities that I practice in, I am able to have foresight as to areas of rapid development, areas of rapid appreciation in housing, and areas of declining appreciation. This helps me to guide my Buyers and Sellers appropriately through their entire Real Estate Transaction. Knowledge, Experience, Passion, Hard Work, Drive, and Persistence are words that would describe me as a Real Estate Professional!
