At its roots, United Country Real Estate | Minnesota Properties has been a trusted real estate partner to clients throughout Northeast and East-Central Minnesota since 1984. Assisting buyer and seller alike, our brokerage has built decades of expertise in residential properties, land for hunting and recreation, waterfront properties, commercial real estate and more.
For more than 40 years now (as of 2025), our brokerage has helped clients buy and sell lifestyle and rural properties across Eastern Minnesota counties such as Pine, Carlton, Mille Lacs, Aitkin, Kanabec and beyond. We currently operate three separate offices in Finlayson, Moose Lake and Milaca, Minn.
Previously known as United Country Banning Jct, our first office opened at Banning Junction in 1984 under Verne and Cathie Jensen. In 1997, their children Tom Jensen and Natalie Mlaskoch purchased the office from their parents and our second location opened in Moose Lake. In 2022, long-time office manager Kelly Frisch purchased both offices, and the name was changed to United Country Real Estate | Minnesota Properties to more accurately represent how large of an area we had grown to serve.
United Country | Minnesota Properties is driven by a team of experienced REALTORS®, agents and brokers. We’re proud to have such a long history as a United Country Real Estate franchise, and pleased by the benefits it brings. This includes an extremely broad reach for our listed properties via innovative advertising and marketing strategies, access to an exclusive buyer database, ongoing agent training and support, and much more.
Stability is a good thing, and United Country’s network has existed for more than 100 years. In fact, the company launched the very first national real estate catalog in 1928. Creative solutions, steady growth and industry success continued over the decades, and today the Kansas City, Mo.-based United Country remains committed to its original promise of national exposure for local properties.
At United Country | Minnesota Properties, we love meeting new clients, catching up with old ones, and serving this beautiful region of the state we call home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a longtime investor, we can help guide you along your real estate journey with care and confidence. If you (or anyone you know) are thinking about buying or selling property in Eastern Minnesota, please reach out to our brokerage. We think you’ll be glad you did.
