The Willkommen Committee visited New Ulm Real Estate to welcome new realtor Jennifer Otte. Otte moved to New Ulm from York, Nebraska, in September, though she is originally from the area, having graduated in the last class of DMLC (before the college merged with Northwestern College in 1995).

She moved back to be central to her three kids and her parents. Otte has had a lot of different jobs over the years, though she has always wanted to be an agent. Being a “perpetual learner,” she finally decided to try to get her real estate license.

Otte loves finding everyone’s story and enjoys helping people find what they need. She says there’s an art in “being a puzzle piece putter-in,” continuing “it’s about them and trying to find them the right fit.”

Otte is excited to be here and get to know people. She loves the diversity of styles of homes, the neat architecture, history, and the interesting buildings and character in town.

New Ulm Real Estate has offices at 1227 N Broadway St. Those interested in learning more, visit www.newulmrealestate.net or call (507) 233-7653.
