   Lynn's Story

     
Becoming a licensed Realtor back in  2002 was the culmination of  years working in Sales & Marketing,
my love of "home" and the desire to be of service to people. 
 
My first "career" after college was in Broadcasting.  I loved music and people so my 10 years on the radio were a blast!  If you grew up in the Twin Cities and liked Rock and Roll perhaps you listened to KQRS.  Dating myself here...I worked both on the air using my maiden name "Lynn Wells", and as the Music Director at KQ from 1979 until moving to Denver in 1985. I "rocked the Rockies" in the afternoon drive time slot at KBPI for a few years then moved on
to KOME in the San Francisco Bay area. 
Radio was great fun with plenty of opportunities to meet
and interview some of the biggest names in R&R.

 
Eventually my love of sales an marketing pushed me to leave the airwaves and accept the VP of sales position for Mediabase in Los Angeles in 1989.  There I worked directly with all of the major and independent Record Labels, developing ad campaigns for their latest releases.  It was then that I met and married my husband of almost 20 years.  He was working for one of the major labels as VP of Promotion but wanted to branch out on his own as an Independent Record Promoter.  So I found myself back where I started from right here in the Twin Cities helping to launch our own company.  After 10 years of growing Midwest Music Alliance, Ltd into one of the countries top promotion organizations
and having a couple of beautiful daughters,
I was feeling the need to try something new.
 
I called on the Realtor who had sold us our Stillwater Twp home. 
Linda Besk had impressed me from our first encounter.  Her professionalism, integrity, and the fact that she never "dropped the ball", during or after the transaction gave me confidence in her ability to guide me down a path in Real Estate.  It took only a few months to realize that Linda Besk was not only a
fantastic agent with an uncanny ability to get the deal done,
but she was continually cool under pressure, and great fun to work with. 
Selling a home can be a stressful time so a good sense of humor is essential! 
 
So began a partnership that has seen the best of markets and the most challenging.  No matter the market, Linda and I have consistently attained the Chairman's Circle level of production for Edina Realty.  Recognized as the top 1% of agents nationwide.  Voted Super Agents by Mpls St Paul magazine year after year.  Our expertise is in the St Croix River Valley.  We are both licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin and enjoy good working and networking relationships with agents from all Brokerage firms in the area.  We are members of Edina's  Exceptional Properties.An invaluable networking group of top notch agents working with million plus homes. Yet we also enjoy helping people buying or selling that first "starter" house or town home. 
Houses big and small, we love them all;
and treat each client with the respect deserving of them.
 
Please give me a call, if I'm not at my desk, Linda will be. 
Together we will meet your every need while surpassing your expectations.
