Rules of the road, walking, biking, and driving.

There are more people than I can remember out and about walking, running, and biking with the recent Covid 19 pandemic, school closures, and nicer weather.  It is great to see people getting sunrays and stretching muscles.

I thought it would be a good idea to remind myself and others of the rules of the road to try to protect or communities and avoid any unnecessary road related injuries.  While researching, it was interesting to find out that many people do not know these. What a great time to...
624 Wipf St. Freeman, SD is now SOLD by Donovan O'Donnell

I love to see a U-haul in front of a listing!  It is a good sign of properties being bought and sold.  Speaking of a SOLD sign, I like the look of mine in front of houses!

Congratulations to both the Buyer and the Sellers on this one.  I had the opportunity to help them through with a unique situation as most of the transaction was done with both parties out of state!  With the abilities EXIT Realty has to sign most documents electronically and with the help of Land Title Guarantee we were able...
Thinking Spring to buy or sell? Now is the time to start!

The last couple weeks I have had several people tell me they want to "Wait till spring" to start seriously looking for a home or to list their property.  I just want to remind people that it takes 45 to 60 days from accepted offer to close on most of my transactions.  I am not saying that it can't happen faster but there is a process to it. 

If you are thinking of buying, the first step is to get in touch with a lender and get what is called a prequalification letter.  I can refer you to some...

A nice day to visit a South Dakota State Park! Lake Vermillion!

I went out with my wife to try to fish at Lake Vermillion State Park just outside of Canistota, SD this weekend.

We didn't catch anything but up by the Dam you could see the carp falling down.

It is getting really nice out some days, I even got my boat ready for the year in hopes to take it out.

What are some of your favorite outdoor places to explore, I would love to see your pictures out in nature of South Dakota!

Thanks,

Donovan O'Donnell

First Time Home Buyer / Vietnam Era Veteran Buys Home in Hurley, SD!

 

It sounds like an old joke "Two Army Cooks and a Marine go into Land Title Company to close on the sale of a house."  But that is how it happened.  A special closing for me to see a Vietnam Era Veteran purchase this home.  Not only was he also in the Army like I was we were both cooks!  A special thanks to Charles Garcia from Guaranteed Rate with his relentless efforts to help this special buyer with this purchase.  We both went the extra mile to help him with some additional steps but it is...
Camping Reservations in South Dakota

With all the rain and snow I know it is hard to think about camping.  However, if you want to go this year it is always best to plan ahead especially if you are going with a group as the spots fill up so fast.  They have been taking reservations already for over a month!  I have included a handy chart to plan how far out you can book with the South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks.  If you click on it you will go to their site where you can book. This will make you a Happy Camper!

Let me know where...
