The Bloem Family Team began when Diane entered the real estate industry 18 years ago. For the first 12 years, she worked by herself — and was extremely successful. In 1996, Diane's husband Dewayne Bloem joined the business. They enjoyed working together so much that they invited Diane's son Curt Johnson to join the team in April 1999. Now they've added the expertise of Kim Brown.

What makes the Bloem Family Team different from other real estate teams? Family. There are no restrictions in the flow of ideas, creativity, or communication. Each team member brings specific talents and skills to the business to better serve their clients.

Diane Bloem
For nearly 20 years, Diane Bloem has had the privilege of helping hundreds of families and individuals buy and sell their homes.  Diane's dedication to her clients places her nationally in the top 1/2 percent of agents.  She provides professional, creative, experienced service  to best achieve the goals of her clients.  Comments such as, "From the first phone call to the last signature, dealing with Diane was a pure pleasure.  I've worked with many agents in buying and selling.  She is far superior.  She should give lessons." and "You were awesome" are common.

In addition to being a Graduate of The Realtors Institute and Certified Residential Specialist, Diane is one of Minnesota's few Certified Relocation Specialists.

Dewayne Bloem
Dewayne joined Diane in residential real estate in 1996. It seemed only natural, since he had been involved in commercial transactions for a decade. Of course, Dewayne was mentored by one of the best -- Diane.

Dewayne enjoys working with buyers and sellers. Dewayne enjoys doing Open Houses because of the opportunity to meet people. His love of people makes real estate seem like "fun," even though he takes his responsibilities very seriously.

Curt Johnson
Curt has a knack for listening to others and making them feel relaxed. He lives by the Golden Rule, and treats clients the way he would like to be treated. He never pushes. He never pressures. He works with them until they are comfortable with their choice. Once people find the right home, CJ stops at nothing to get it for the price they are comfortable with!

The majority of CJ's clients are young business professionals. They are looking for a first or second home. Buying a home should be fun and a great learning experience. CJ saves people time by figuring out what they want and focusing their search.

In addition, he creates all of Bloem Family Team's marketing pieces; including Web tours, listing brochures, ads and direct marketing. He uses all the technological tools that are available to the real estate industry. He uses creativity, technology, and in-house marketing to drive demand--with remarkable results.

Once the potential buyers are in the home, staging the property is critical. CJ has obtained his Home Marketing Specialist designation, and is very talented in colors and sightlines. This aspect of selling your home is many times overlooked, and that is always a great mistake!

Other services CJ provides are assisting buyers with new home construction. Almost all of the choices involved in the building process will directly affect the resale value of that home. CJ will be there every step of the way.
