About Nicholas
Nic’s interest in real estate started shortly after he graduated from Grand Rapids high school while he was working for a local home builder. He worked for several years in the construction industry building homes and then went on to work in the Twin Cities installing passenger elevators. His passion for real estate (and his now wife) brought him back to the Grand Rapids area. He moved back to work at a local lumber yard selling building materials. At that time, he also started investing in real estate and flipping homes. In 2021 Nic decided to go all in and get his real estate license. Growing up in the Grand Rapids area, Nic is no stranger to what northern Minnesota has to offer. He enjoys many of its amenities with his friends and family which include spending time on the lake, sitting next to a bonfire or on an adventure in the woods. In business, Nic believes in building strong relationships and becoming an expert in his industry. Education never stops, he is continuously investing into his education through masterminds and mentorships to grow his understanding of the industry and better serve his clients.

About Katy
I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and I have a deep appreciation for the community I’m proud to serve. When I’m not helping clients navigate the real estate market, you’ll likely find me enjoying lake days, spending time with family and friends, or staying active through lifting and Pilates. My passion for real estate started early and has grown into a career built on dedication, energy, and genuine care for my clients. I’m known for strong communication and a commitment to going the extra mile, and I work hard to ensure every client feels confident and supported throughout the entire buying or selling process. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, motivated agent who truly loves what she does, I’d love to help you find your perfect place in Northern Minnesota.

Great to work with. Very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Easy to work with.

Many people in my area have used Edge of the Wilderness Realty to buy and sell property with great results so there was no question in my mind that they would be the Realtor that I choose. I was assigned Jeff as my realtor and was lucky as he was well versed in the area and no nonsense about what I could expect. I trusted him completely and couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Great experience. Couldn’t have asked for a better first-time home buying process.

Jeff was knowledgeable, informative, personable, attentive, and flexible with our schedules to make this experience as positive as we could have ever imagined. 10/10 would recommend Jeff for your realty needs. Jeff wouldn’t let us settle for anything less than exactly what we were looking for.

Alex is very knowledgeable and helped us greatly with the purchase of our home on Turtle Lake.

Alex is very knowledgeable and helped us greatly with the purchase of our home on Turtle Lake.

Alex was wonderful to work with. She not only helped us negotiate a fair price for our home, she was extremely helpful in getting the process afterwards in having various tests done on the home as we are out of state buyers. She handled everything for us and made the process very easy. She is both very knowledgeable about the values and history of properties in the area as well as the the house we purchased. Her response time in getting back to is with our questions was outstanding. We will be recommending her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a property in the greater Itasca county area. Again thank you very much Alex.
