Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes reach from the Canadian Border all the way to Iowa and East to West. Our Northern Office specializes in properties from Duluth to Park Rapids and North to Lake of the Woods, Rainy Lake, Ely and the Gunflint Trail. This region holds some of our states best family resorts that offer prime vacations for families, legendary fishing for friends and adventure for the “not so” faint of heart!

Basically, there are four types or Resort properties:
Housekeeping = cabins typically rent out by the week, this is the classic Mom and Pop Resort operated by families and rented to families.

Lodges/Full Service= Sometimes referred to as American Plan, these resorts are equipped with food and beverage service, a large assortment of cabins, and at times, hotel units being operated year-round.

RV Campgrounds= There are only a handful of RV only campgrounds in the northern part of the state. Many of the Housekeeping and Full-Service Resorts also have RV Campgrounds which are rented by the night or by the season and are growing rapidly in today’s market.
Canoe Outfitters= A specialty Minnesota classic adventure style business that has over 1 million acres dedicated to it for all of America to enjoy. These are summer-only businesses that can be found in one of our BWCA towns or combined with one of our BWCA resort operations located on the border of this famous American Wilderness region.

This is perhaps our strongest suit at Minnesota Resort Sales when we work with your family’s finances. We are affiliated with the best in the business when it comes to our professional associates. We trust our incredible Community Bank Lenders, Small Business Loan Officers, Certified Public Accountants, Legal teams, and Lawyers.

Simple. For your lifestyle decisions, start by gauging resort-style choices to your own family’s resort preferences that cater to “your preferred style”. Working with guests who have similar tastes is always the easiest for owners in the hospitality business, that is the lifestyle equation.

For the finance side of the transaction, start by estimating your current equity/cash position in savings, home value, 401K balances, and any other investments you may want to consolidate into a down payment for your new resort purchase. The average resort finance package will require a 20% down payment but at times, 10% can be sufficient to secure financing.

Financing is our specialty and it is one of the many things that separates us from all other Real Estate companies. We know the inside strategies to financing and closing on Minnesota’s premiere resorts.
