The Mississippi River borders the city on the West, and the Coon Rapids dam creates a sizable pool that is extremely popular as a fishing and aquatic recreation attraction for residents.
Karl Ritzman – Hi! I'm Karl Ritzman, a proud Minnesotan, originally from Cannon Falls. I served in the Air Force for six years, married my wonderful wife in 2016, and welcomed our baby girl into the world in 2022 and our baby boy in 2024! While learning about financial independence and real estate investing during my time in the Air Force, I realized my passion for real estate. I understand buying or selling a home is exciting, but can also be stressful. My goal is to make your experience as informed, worry free, and enjoyable as possible. Being a great Realtor is more than just finding a home and negotiating, or analyzing the accurate market value for your current home and marketing it for sale. To me, it’s also about keeping it simple by providing excellent communication, flexible scheduling, and the knowledge you need throughout the process to be able to make wise and educated decisions for you and your family. From first time home buyers, to Veterans and other service members, to move-up sellers, or to downsizing sellers, I have experience in all these situations among others that will help provide you with a smooth home journey. When you hire me as your agent, we will have a buyer/seller consultation where I will listen to your needs to ensure they’re met to the fullest. You can count on me to always strive to do my best and work hard to provide you with an outstanding experience in order to earn your referral beyond your purchase or sale! Phone 507-298-7607
