Choosing a real estate partner matters, especially in northern suburbs lake markets where properties range from $300K family homes to $3M+ waterfront estates. Here's why clients choose Ornell Group.
True Northern Suburbs Lake Specialization
We're laser-focused on White Bear Lake, Bald Eagle Lake, Centerville Lake, Forest Lake, Turtle Lake, Lake Owasso, Lake Reshanau, and surrounding northern suburbs lake communities.
This specialization delivers:
- Deep knowledge of what drives value on each specific lake
- Understanding local school districts (White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Centennial, Hill-Murray)
- Relationships with buyers actively searching these communities
- Expertise in lakefront regulations, septics, water rights
- Market data specific to our area, not generic metro stats
Specialists provide insights generalists don't have.
Lake Real Estate Expertise
Lakefront properties require different expertise. We understand:
- Two buyer markets (traditional vs. vision/teardown buyers)
- Lot characteristics driving premium pricing
- Shoreline rights and water access regulations
- What improvements actually add value
- Seasonal marketing timing for lakes
This expertise prevents costly mistakes.
Modern Marketing That Works
We lead in real estate marketing evolution:
- Professional photography and drone footage
- Video tours showcasing lake lifestyle
- Content marketing (articles, lake guides, market insights)
- Active Google Business Profile updates
- Social media strategy across platforms
- AI-enhanced content creation
- Email marketing to qualified buyer database
Traditional agents list on MLS and wait. We actively market everywhere buyers look.
Proven Results
- Part of 4 of last 6 top sales on Lake Reshanau
- 5 recent sales on Centerville Lake ($1.89M to under $1M range)
- Representing new construction on Bald Eagle Lake and Centerville Lake
- Experience with waterfront properties up to $2.7+ on Turtle Lake
- Marketing for relocation buyers on Forest Lake and White Bear Lake
- Consistent success across multiple northern suburbs lakes

Results speak louder than promises.
Personal Lake Living Experience
I grew up on near water - swimming, boating, cabin weekends. First major sale: $2M Sunfish Lake home with 300+ feet shoreline. Now my family lives on the water.
I understand lake living from both sides - living the lifestyle and selling the properties. This means genuine insights, not marketing fluff.
