Ashley Petroske in REALTOR® Magazine’s 2013 Issue of “30 Under 30”

Ashley Petroske, the Owner and Broker of Real Estate Design, recently joined 29 other professionals in the REALTOR® Magazine’s 2013 issue of “30 Under 30.” The magazine is distributed by the National Association of REALTORS®. Every year, the staff at REALTOR® Magazine selects a group of real estate professionals with potential as part of the issue, including some of the top producers across the country.

Petroske, a Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® member since 2005, began her career in real estate working at her great uncle's development company, Mendota Homes, Inc., in an administrative capacity. Within weeks she enrolled in real estate classes and spent the next decade representing some of the Twin Cities' leading developers in both a real estate sales and interior design capacity.

How does this tie into our neighborhood?  Per Ashley, "For the last five years I've designed and sold dozens of condos in the Mill District, primarily at the Zenith. In those five years I've fallen in love with the neighborhood, from the Farmer's Market to Spoonriver and of course, the lovely folks that call the Mill District home. Real Estate Design will continue to provide real estate representation while offering integrated interior design services at no additional cost to our clients. We will continue to focus on Minneapolis and in particular the vibrant Riverfront communities while adding experts to our team to offer the same level of service in the surrounding suburbs."

Ashley also mentioned Real Estate Design's "Greenhouse Initiative", which she said is in its infancy, but has already received committments from dozens of people to grow and donate produce to local shelters and all manner of food distribution centers. "By providing the seedlings to our past clients and those whom have caught wind of the program, not only can we reach more people geographically, the genuine interest in growing, harvesting and sharing healthy food with those less fortunate is contagious," she added.

Congratulations, Ashley!
