Gary has been in the residential real estate world most of his life. After a short stint as a Power Built golf club rep, he began his real estate career as a luxury home builder in the mid-1970's. By 1980, he was being approached by Burnet Realty’s then Distinctive Homes President, Connie Hunt, to stop building and start selling! Today, he re-sells some of the homes he built 20+ years ago. Gary has been a lifetime resident of the Twin Cities, having always focused his real estate career on the Lake Minnetonka area. Throughout the years he has honed his knowledge of the magical Lake Minnetonka area by living on Halstead’s Bay, Lafayette Bay, Carson’s Bay, Robinsons Bay, Main Lower Lake, and most recently, Brown’s Bay. Gary is a 1972 graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN with a degree in education.

Ian followed Gary into the real estate business. After a short exploration of a career as a builder (working with a top-tier builder in Colorado’s Vail Valley), Ian moved to selling the homes rather than building the homes. A former Orono and Lake Minnetonka resident, Ian and his family now live near Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. He has been able to combine his unique, first hand knowledge of the Minneapolis market with that of the Lake Minnetonka area to give our clients a broad understanding of their choices in our local real estate market. Besides his focus on single family homes, Ian spent a couple years selling new condo projects wher he learned the nuances of condos and town homes. Ian is also our marketing coordinator - always looking for interesting and effective new ways to expand the exposure of your home. He has been a lifetime Twin Cities resident with stints in Vancouver, Fargo/Moorhead, Colorado Springs and Edwards, CO as well as S'Hertogenbosch, Holland. He was fortunate enough to have played hockey at Bloomington Jefferson High School and Colorado College where he graduated in 2000 with a degree in Art History.
