RE/MAX Professionals was recently named as the recipient of the 2018 Office Image Award for their Lowertown St. Paul office. 

"Having a central office location that was easy to get to, visible and accessible to our customers and served the needs of our agents were important goals of ours when we looked for where to expand to next. Lowertown St. Paul was a logical decision and we found the perfect space that we knew would meet the needs of both our associates and clients," said owner Justin Fox.

The Lowertown office features open work spaces, two conference rooms, several private offices and overlooks Mears Park. 

"Our design is derived from the historic design elements of downtown. We wanted a crisp, clean and modern feel, with historic charm," says owner Sonya Fox. "It is an honor to be recognized for this award - a lot of thought went into every aspect of the design of this office and we're so thrilled with how it all turned out."

Inventory of homes for sale has been the lowest it has been in over 10 years, but we expect the market to balance out a bit more in the year ahead.
