In 2010, I embarked on an overhaul of our LundTeam.com website.  It was much over-due.  The last LundTeam.com was the third website our team created.  And it was top of its class in 2001,  By today's standards it was mediocre at best.   Our new site will allow us to showcase our property more effectively and in Web 2.0 style.  

This blog section will be updated in the months to come.  We will decide whether to keep our www.LundREO.com wordpress blog.  

Either way, we hope you utilize our site and look forward to working with you in the near future.
