A Dad–Daughter Night at the Wild Game — And a Reminder of Why People Love Calling Minnesota Home

A Dad–Daughter Night at the Wild Game — And a Reminder of Why People Love Calling Minnesota Home

Last night I was at the Wild game on a little dad–daughter date, and somewhere between the pregame warmups and my daughter’s excitement, I was reminded of something I’ve felt for years:

Minnesota is special.
Not just for the fans — but for the people who move here to live, work, coach, play, or raise a family.

Over the years, Ornell Group has quietly helped several athletes and professionals from the Wild, Twins, and local soccer clubs settle into the Twin Cities. Nothing flashy. No big announcements. Just being a steady, trusted resource when someone needs a smooth transition — the same way I’d want someone to help my family if we were moving somewhere new.


What Relocation Looks Like, The Minnesota Way

We keep it simple: confidential, thoughtful support for anyone relocating into or around Minnesota.
Whether someone needs:

  • a temporary place

  • a lake home

  • a neighborhood with great schools

  • a long-term fit for their family

  • or just honest advice

…we’re here to help without making it complicated.


What We Offer (Quietly and Respectfully)

Respect for Privacy

From athletes to executives to families who value discretion, we work carefully, quietly, and respectfully.

Local Market Knowledge

Waterfront communities, family neighborhoods, acreage properties, downtown rentals — we help match people with the lifestyle that fits them best.

Flexible Housing Options

Short-term rentals, furnished options, corporate housing, or long-term homes across the metro.

A Supportive Introduction to Minnesota

Schools, lakes, training facilities, clubs, recreation, places to eat — we help newcomers get oriented without overwhelming them.

Relationship Over Transaction

This part matters.
Our relocation work grew naturally through relationships, mentorship, and trust — including early guidance from leaders like Brad Smith. We don’t market ourselves as a relocation powerhouse.
We simply do good work for people, and word spreads.


Ornell Group: Here When You Need Us

Whether you're:

  • a family moving across town

  • a professional relocating for a new chapter

  • or someone joining our local sports community

…we’re here to make the transition feel smoother, lighter, and a little more welcoming.

If you’re curious about neighborhoods, timing, rentals, or lake communities, I’m always happy to talk — maybe even over a hockey game someday.
