I formed z’Up North Realty in 2009, a play on my last name, and the great place where we all live and work, Up North.  I live here in Babbitt with my husband Jim, originally from Ely, and our four children, Alex, Erika, Kirsten & Jimmy.  We especially love the closeness of the community and all the great and wonderful things the area has to offer; snowmobiling, fishing, ice fishing, skating, swimming in the many lakes and don't forget the hunting!  My husband works in Ely at Zup’s Food Market and has worked for his family owned / operated company he entire life - just like his father did, and his before him and his father. 

Before starting z’Up North, I worked for Culbert Realty running the Babbitt and Ely Offices for a total of 6 years. I was also their top listing & selling agent for 5 of those years, and even earned the title “Rookie of the Year” my first year in Real Estate!  I pride myself on my customer service, something that has been engrained in me after 20 years of being in the Hospitality Industry!  A graduate from UW – Stout, Menomonie WI, I slowly migrated North after that!  

I can help you search for property in Ely, the BWCA, Lake Vermilion, Tower, Babbitt, Embarrass, and the surrounding areas by type, price, size and more!  Let me put my knowledge, service, and resources in your hands! I am a member of the Arrowhead Multiple Listing Service as well as members of the Range Association of Realtors, The National Association of Realtors and the Minnesota Association of Realtors. This allows me to provide my customers with the best possible information we have access to!

I'm available 7 days a week to meet your Real Estate needs. Please drop in, call, or contact me by email today!!!  I look forward to working with you --- z’Up North!
