History

Established in 1974.

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 serves as our second office.

Meet the Business Owner: Steve B.

Steve, owner/broker of Oak Realty, joined his father in the family business in 1986. In 2000, he took over the company and today is the backbone of what he says is the "best team of Realtors® around." He says Oak separates itself from others by an unmatched strength in niche marketing. "We have a limited number of agents that are specialists in an area they truly love, many have spent most or all of their lives living in the Greater Annandale Area." He is proud of Oak's strong philosophy of quality customer service, and the focus the company maintains on accurately understanding client needs and working together as a team. Paying attention to detail and getting the right information is the key to building successful personal relationships with clients and finding them the right property, he says. Steve moved to Annandale at the age of 11, and grew up on Pleasant Lake where he resides today with his wife Kelly. He is a motorcycle enthusiast and enjoys traveling with his family.
