Thank you for taking your time to learn a little about me. If the shoe was on the other foot and I was looking to sell my home or purchase, I would want to know a little about the person that I am hiring too. We may be spending a lot of time together! I am a native of this beautiful Driftless Coulee Region area. I grew up around the La Crosse area in the country and spent a short time around Winona, Mn. The beauty of the coulee region area, friendly people of our communities and the ability to do many diverse activities; I cannot see myself living anywhere else. My husband and I have 1 son, Colton. We have horses, 1 mini-donkey and of course the family dog. I'm a country gal and I love to ride horses, garden, kayak, cross country ski, fish with my son, read a good book, drink a fine glass of red wine, and overindulge in cheese. I'm a true Midwesterner! My past background is in property management/rental properties, renovation, and restoration of older homes. I grew up working on properties with my family as our family business along with beef farming. Before starting my real estate career in 2004, I purchased my own homes to remodel/restore and managed my own rental properties which I still have today. We also enjoy restoring an old home from time to time. Our last 3 projects were all in Fountain City, Wi. My husband and I started the “Great River Road Inns” which is being run by new owners now. These beautiful older homes that founded our communities need preservation and restoration to endure there next several generations. My husband and I own the “Golden Frog Restaurant and Saloon and The Lily Pad” in Fountain City, Wi. My husband man's that “ship” and we have a wonderful team of long-term employee's. Very grateful for them all! Two unique places with a deep history. Stop by sometime. Hiring me, you will see how hard I work for my clients. Your happiness and success, are mine too. You are my top priority, I will always give you my honest advice, put your goals first and give you the accurate information as your real estate advisor that you need to make your best decision. Specializing in residential home sales (including executive and waterfront homes), investment properties, commercial and land/farms; being a Buyer's Agent or Listing Agent, I love the diversity of my day and the different people I meet. I help people in 14 counties on both sides of the Mississippi River. Traveling the countryside or working in the city, listing, and selling homes; gives me great pride and I am truly blessed to love what I do every day. Thank you for taking your time to learn about me. I do hope you find me to be your best fit for your real estate needs and look forward to hearing from you! Kind Regards, Sarah Hemker
