Founded in 1974, Oak Realty is the Annandale area’s oldest real estate brokerage. That year Don Bruggeman purchased and renamed what was Daryl Gunnerson Realty and our red and white leaf was born. Oak Realty operated on Oak Avenue, Annandale’s Main Street, for many years, developing a reputation as a highly respected and professional real estate company serving the Annandale Area. Don’s son Steve joined the business in 1986 and the company continued to grow into the early 90’s.
In 1996, the company made a move from its location in downtown Annandale to a new, log-sided building on Highway 55, visible as you enter town from the East. Steve purchased the company in 2000, and with each passing year Oak Realty has continued to grow and succeed through an ever-changing market.
In 2007, Oak Realty acquired Lake Country Properties and Real Estate in neighboring Maple Lake. Their location will serve as our second office. We are excited about the growth we are experiencing as a company and are thrilled with the addition of both new and experienced agents to our staff.
Today our offices are home to 12 staff members. Among us are local graduates, former local business owners, lake association presidents, and community volunteers. We are your Annandale Area Specialists. Our eager, educated staff of individuals love this area and know it well.
Teamwork and professionalism have long been the cornerstones of our company. From the moment you set foot in our office, you’ll find these are qualities we truly stand behind, both individually and as a team. We pride ourselves on exceptional customer care and creative marketing. We exceed other in technology, and ensure our agents have the best tools to list, market and sell premiere properties. We assist clients in finding the exact property and location to fit their needs. You’ll feel the difference when you work with Oak Realty.
