Michael was first introduced to construction and entrepreneurship growing up alongside his father. Mike started a summer painting business while attending UMD, and quickly became involved in remodeling and real estate. With each new house, there were numerous new projects which proved to be a excellent hands-on education in the trades. Since then Mike has blossomed into a local entrepreneur and real estate investor. Heirloom is the combination of Mike’s life in real estate which includes management, realty, and construction. He enjoys sharing his experience to help new investors find property, solve financing and work through renovations. He’s a lifelong learner with other pursuits both entrepreneurial and personal including saw-milling, fine furniture making, running, cooking, and traveling. Accomplishments:
Nick grew up in the twin cities and fell in love with Duluth and the North Shore while earning his B.A. in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota Duluth. While attending UMD, he ran a summer painting business and was introduced to Michael Schraepfer. The two became fast friends, both shared an interest in entrepreneurship and rental properties. His entry into rental property ownership was spurred through the help of Michael and has allowed him to continue to invest in properties over the years. In 2013 Nick was nominated for the Labovitz Entrepreneurial Success Award alongside Michael and one other partner. After a brief relocation to Minneapolis, Nick, his wife, and children “came home” as he likes to say, and joined the Heirloom team. Nick brings many years of business and project management experience to Heirloom. When not at work Nick enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, mountain biking, and exploring Duluth’s abundant parks. Accomplishments:
Neal is one of Heirloom’s strongest advocates. He attended UMD, where he received a B.A. in Organizational Management and Marketing. After school, Neal decided to start investing in rental properties. For several reasons, Neal decided Duluth was the ideal hub for his investments moving forward. At the time, Neal was living out of state and needed management services. During his search for a professional property management company, he discovered Heirloom and met Michael. He became a customer of our management services and continues to employ Heirloom services. Neal currently works as our Business Development Manager and our in-house Realtor to assist investors sell & acquire properties, as well as analyzing on and off-market deals. If you’re a property investor interested in investing in the Duluth area, Neal should be your first call.
