Bend has seen a ton of growth over the last decade and has shown no signs of slowing down. I had the pleasure of speaking with Fred Mannila, owner of Fred Real Estate Group, about what it was like to move to and open a new business in Bend over 8 years ago.Fred is my managing broker and someone I hold in high regard. His enthusiasm for Bend is contagious and I hold him personally responsible for getting me here much sooner than I had originally planned.Listen in as he shares how he was able to open a business in a new place during the worst economy in recent history, how his philosophy on life impacts the way he does business, and just what kind of etiquette is required to navigate the roundabouts in Bend.
