Born and raised in the picturesque town of International Falls, Minnesota, Cari’s childhood was filled with the energy of competitive sports and countless summers spent soaking in the beauty of Rainy Lake with friends and family. After high school, Cari’s journey led her to the University of Minnesota Duluth, where she played college volleyball, and later, she completed her degree at Bemidji State University. It was during these formative years that Cari’s love for hard work and dedication to excellence began to take root. Her career path took an exciting turn when she took a summer job with a Bemidji-based construction firm, framing apartment complexes in North Dakota. The physical and hands-on nature of the work captivated her, and she continued working with the company for several years. This experience sparked a deep interest in the construction industry and laid the foundation for her future in real estate. Determined to combine her construction expertise with her passion for helping others, Cari earned her real estate license. She quickly rose to prominence as a top performer at ERA Pederson and Associates in Bemidji, where her commitment to her clients earned her a coveted Multi-Million Dollar Sales Award. After taking a brief break from real estate in 2007 to return to her roots in International Falls, Cari realized that her heart belonged in the real estate world. Today, she is thrilled to be back in the business she loves, partnering with the Move It Real Estate Group to help buyers and sellers in her hometown and the surrounding areas. As a proud Homes.com member, Cari now brings her sellers an unparalleled advantage with the most innovative and effective marketing strategies to sell their homes faster and for the best possible price.
