Kathy Anderson

Kathy is a Minnesota farm girl with her roots firmly planted in the soil on 100-acre farm south of Cannon Falls. Her husband Brad and she has been married for 40+ years and have lived their entire married life on the family farm. Brad is the fourth generation living on the farm.

For most of their married life, Brad has farmed. They had a dairy herd, hogs, and chickens. As many of you know, farming is a great life, but it also can take a toll on your body, so they sold the cows and hogs a few years ago. Now Brad is a public servant working as a county commissioner. In 2005, they were very humbled and honored to be named Goodhue County Farm Family of the Year.

Her journey of farm life is a little different from her husband's. She did not grow up on a farm, but her Grandparents did. They lived in Pierce County, Wisconsin, between Ellsworth and Bay City. She spent her summers on the farm with her Grandparents. They cultivated in her a love of gardening, chickens, farming, driving tractors, the smell of freshly mowed hay and the importance of family.

When her grandmother moved into "town", she gave her white picket fence that lined her chicken yard. Today, it lines her chicken yard. To most people it is just a pretty little fence but to her, it is a connection to the farm of her childhood and her grandparents.

They raised two children on the farm, Ariana and Travis and we are blessed with four granddaughters. Thankfully, they live close because they love spending time with all of them.

For 18 years, she worked for a local, international giftware company. She held many positions through the years, all related to sales, marketing, and customer service. Her last role was Director of Sales and Customer Service. It was a natural transition for her to move into real estate 18 years ago. It enabled her to put all of her experience into one career and tap into my entrepreneurial spirit. The best part of real estate is the people she has the opportunity to meet and work with every day.

If you are looking to find out what life is like in a small town, she would love to assist you in your search. She has completed additional educational training to become an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR for short). This training is through the National Association of Realtors and the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council. She acquired this designation because she really cares about making sure Buyers have representation in the real estate transaction and she wants to make the major decision of buying a home enjoyable and stress free. You can count on her to go the extra mile for you.

If you are selling your home, you want to make sure you find a knowledgeable Realtor that understands the importance of marketing, personal service and how to compete in this changing real estate marketplace. She is a full-time agent, working full time to market and sell her clients' homes. She has acquired her GRI designation (Graduate of Realtor Institute) and PSA designation (Pricing Strategy Advisor). This program has enabled her to increase her depth of knowledge in real estate sales and marketing and real estate investments. For you, this means she has gone above and beyond the basic real estate education and she will go above and beyond to assist you throughout the sale of your home.

When she is not busy with real estate or her grandkids, she loves to garden (thanks to her grandmother) and ride motorcycle with her husband and friends. Their family farm is no longer actively engaged in farming, and they have recently been working on transitioning their barn into a family gathering and recreation space. Their farm is near and dear to many family members, and they want to make sure everyone can stay connected to this beautiful 100-acre retreat. The upper level of the barn is now ready for basketball, ping pong and soon it will have a loft area which will overlook the gorgeous, wooded landscape.
