After leaving Grand Forks for 8 years, I move back to my native city in 2015 and joined Crary Real Estate as the Operating Manager.

Prior to my current role, I was a Senior Transaction Coordinator at Cassidy Turley Commercial Real Estate Services in St. Louis, Missouri. In this position I represented corporate tenants in specific submarkets. I controlled Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City, Denver, Hawaii, Houston and Dallas. I completed over 125 lease renewals as well as over 85 acquisitions, relocations and new office development. My estimated transaction value in this role is placed over $30,000,000.

Before living in St. Louis for 2.5 years, I was a resident of Washington DC. I moved to DC to intern for National Student Leadership. During my time as an intern, I traveled both domestically and international conducting and helping with the production of leadership forums, specifically targeted toward college students. As an intern I also had responsibilities regarding the coordination of the National Prayer Breakfast. Upon completing the 9 month internship, I was Director of the Congressional Fellow Program. In this role I was responsible for the recruitment and placement of 24 student leaders from around the United States. Each student was placed as an intern to the staff of different members of congress.

Prior to my time in DC, I attend Bethel University in St. Paul Minnesota where I majored in marketing and entrepreneurship. As a student I traveled abroad and completed a semester at Bond University in Queensland, Australia. I spent my summer months as a construction laborer working on the concrete crew for Affinity Builders.

In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors. Hunting and fishing are among some of my favorite activities. I also enjoy traveling, having visited 24 countries, I enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences.

I grew up in Argyle, MN, a small town about 40 minutes NE of Grand Forks. In high school I worked for my grandpa’s crop dusting business, taking apart airplanes and building new ones. I took steps to get my pilots license, not to be a part of that business, but just thought it would be awesome to have. Once I graduated high school, I moved to Grand Forks and attended the University of North Dakota. I graduated in 2015 and started my career at the Alerus Center managing the box office and marketing the arena shows. While working I found a love for real estate. I was 24 when I bought my first apartment building where I still live and manage. Less than a year after that, I bought my second building that I also manage myself. I love the opportunities this industry creates for people, whether it’s investing, or finding a place to live and raise a family.

Jerry Waletzko
Seeking to become Your Hometown Real Estate Agent Since 1978!                  
Crary Real Estate
701-746-4663
       [SHO-HOME]  

P.S.

If you are interested here is a little bit about me:

• Honed my negotiating skills in hundreds of Purchase Agreements.
• Keep an ever-updating notebook I call “975 Questions and Answers in Buying a Home” that can help answer many of your real estate questions.
• Served three generations of two families, and nine different families of former Realtors, with buying or selling homes.
• University of North Dakota graduate: B.A. Education, 1972; and B.S. Psychology, 1974.
• Worked several years as a carpenter to gain hands-on home construction experience.
• Grand Forks Board of Realtors Realtor of the Year in 1995.
• REALTOR member of the National Association of Realtors with designations of Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR).
• Jan and I have been married for fifteen year. We are into collecting antiques: Jan likes her cut-glass crystal and pink depression glass. I collect comedy – joke books, and stand up comedians on vinyl records, cds, and dvds. We have a lot at Cass Lake where I have fished for over fifty years. We have a pheasant hunting dog named Fannie. Jan likes her flower gardening, and I dig vegetable and fruit gardening.

I conclude with a story:

Over dinner, in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, the youthful George Bailey declares to his dad that after college he doesn’t intend to work in the long established small town family ‘building and loan’ business, but rather wants to go out in the world and accomplish great and important things.

Peter Bailey thoughtfully looks up from his meal and gently responds to his son: “You know, George, I feel that in a small way we are doing something important … satisfying a fundamental urge. It’s deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace, and we’re helping him get those things in our shabby little office.”

It is probably a little corny to some, yet it really is all about Home to me so I keep the above sentiment in mind as I try to find my place in the community and my job in real estate.

I was born and raised in Grand Forks and have developed meaningful ties to this amazing community over the years. I attended Lewis and Clark, Schroeder, and Central, and I’m currently pursuing my degree as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant at Northland Community and Technical College.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy spending time with my rescue dog, Rylee, who has brought so much joy to my life.

Real estate has always been a passion of mine, and I’m excited to help others navigate the home-buying or selling process in a community I care so much about. If you or someone you know has any questions, I’d be happy to help—don’t hesitate to reach out!

I am a native of Walhalla, ND and a resident of the Grand Forks community since graduating from UND with a degree in Education. I have worked in retail for nearly 2 decades and as a Real Estate Agent since 1997.

I know the area and community very well and would be happy to assist you in your search for a new home. I specialize in both new construction and previously owned homes. If you are looking to buy or sell or simply need some information; please give me a call.

My goals are to make every closing a celebration of a job well done, leaving each buyer settling in a home they will love, and every seller realizing the true value of their property.

I am a graduate of UND’s Accounting and Business Administrative degree program, and have been a Grand Forks area resident ever since college days. I raised 4 children here, and ran a music studio where I taught hundreds of kids from Grand Forks to Fertile to play piano and organ.

In my 25 years of teaching music, I taught that the key to a great performance is strong preparation, meticulous attention to detail, and sensitivity to the personality and style of your piece. As I look back on my years as a realtor, I realize that orchestrating a purchase or sale of real estate requires many of the same steps in relation to my clients.

I would love to hear from you, and give you the personal service that has been the hallmark of my professional career, helping to build my broker’s vision “To be the industry leader in integrity and service.”

Let Me Do The Work For You!

Whether you are selling your home or looking for a new one, I will be here to help you find your perfect match. Customer service is my one-of-a-kind philosophy that places the emphasis on your satisfaction and a home that reflects your special lifestyle.

Don’t waste time looking at homes that don’t meet your specific needs. Down to the smallest detail, I will find the home or buyer that is right for you. I will also provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) of your current home to ensure it is priced to the market while still providing you with maximum equity return.

If new construction interests you, allow me to show you any of Crary’s Homes that are built as unique as your lifestyle in spectacular master-planned communities. Crary Homes have been building quality homes and making dreams come true with a pride of craftsmanship that is unmatched in this industry.

I am licensed in both North Dakota and Minnesota and can assist you in any aspect of real estate whether it is residential, farm, lake, or commercial. I can also help you with any relocating needs you may have in other states.
