What is your earliest memory of selling, designing or building something?

Describe your role:

  • I communicate with our team internally, and with prospective clients, externally! I manage the marketing for both of our companies, and the human resources function for our entire team, actively engaged in the leadership of our two sister companies.

What is your earliest memory of selling, designing or building something?

  • When I was in middle school, I partnered with a friend and designed a holiday craft class for the little kids in my neighborhood to attend over Christmas break. I created flyers to “sell” the class, and conducted classes for the kids while their parents went shopping or prepared for the holiday season. We packed every class for a couple of weekends, earned some spending money, and helped the families in our neighborhood. My friend and I felt quite accomplished and as a result, had consistent babysitting jobs for many years to follow.
What inspires and/or motivates you in what you do for APPRO and CERRON?
  • I have an opportunity to be creative & to constantly learn more about property solutions from the amazing team I work with, while I share the story of our great companies.
What do you do outside of the office for fun?
  • Spend time with my family, volunteering, taking painting classes, baking, traveling & creating books about our adventures

What is your favorite quote?

  • You must do the thing you think you cannot do. – Eleanor Roosevelt

Where is one place you have not been, but would really like to go?
 
  • England, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain – these are a few places, among many, I would like to visit to learn more about the history and architecture.

    I have had the honor and pleasure to compile the stories of my co-workers, and now it has become my turn. I initially started with APPRO and CERRON in 2008, as an administrative assistant, returning to work after spending a few years assisting my husband with his residential real estate business and raising our young family. After a couple of years on the team, I left to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership, and humbly share that I graduated with honors. Upon completion of my education, I was offered my dream job and returned to APPRO and CERRON as their “Marketing guru”. I have a diverse background with education and experience including: interior design, title closing, residential real estate, and human resources. I love people, love creativity, and love the opportunity to share my talents with our team and the clients we serve. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love!

What do you do outside of the office for fun?

  • Helping business owners to buy, sell or lease commercial property.

 

What inspires and/or motivates you in what you do with APPRO and CERRON?

 

  • Seeing our clients grow and do well. It is also a lot of fun to learn what companies do and the niches these owners find to fill and create new businesses.

What is something people might be surprised to know about you?

  • I haven’t always sold commercial real estate. “In my former life,” I worked for various companies including Purina and AgriPro in Sales, Marketing, and Management roles taking me to St. Louis, Missouri and the Phillipines, before returning to Minnesota.

Bruce Rydeen is hard working and combines his strong work ethic, expertise, and team building skills as an effective leader and mentor for our staff. Bruce brings great insight to our team meetings, and goes to great lengths to bring deals together, always looking for ways to make the sometimes “improbable” or even “impossible” come together. Outside of our walls, Bruce has had significant involvement in our local community including a past role as Chair at the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce. 

As a business owner or investor, you will meet Bruce when you need assistance purchasing or leasing a new property. As a property owner,  you will work with Bruce to lease space in your building, or to sell your building to a new owner/user or investor(s). You may also connect with Bruce at local community events, as Bruce is an active Chamber of Commerce member in many of the communities we serve: Lakeville, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Dakota County (including the cities of Eagan, Farmington, Lilydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, Rosemount, Sunfish Lake, and West St. Paul, along with Castle Rock, Empire, Eureka, and Hampton Townships), and Elko New Market, Minnesota.

Bruce enjoys following and attending car racing events, spending time working on his family farm in Stillwater, and if you ask him about his grand kids, just watch his face light up! I think you might be hard pressed to find a prouder grandparent (although other grandparents in our office may disagree, ha!). He is quick to share the latest pics, videos, or anecdotes. Bruce is a valued member of our APPRO and CERRON property solutions team.

ICSC Hosts Four Members of Congress at RECon

ICSC Hosts Four Members of Congress at RECon – to Learn More about the Retail Real Estate Industry

ICSC – (International Council of Shopping Centers) mission is “to advance the shopping center industry and to promote its role in the commercial distribution of consumer goods and services.” ICSCLogo_Member_1

ICSC’s annual RECon event in Las Vegas, welcomed four members of Congress, who attended to learn more about the retail real estate industry and share their insight on the tax reform debate currently underway on Capitol Hill. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Congressmen Richard Neal (D-MA), Jim Renacci (R-OH) and Steve Womack (R-AR) each took a tour of the show floor and met with ICSC members to hear about issues impacting their businesses. All were impressed with the size of the show and level of business activity taking place.

On May 18, Reps. Neal, Renacci and Womack participated in a panel discussion on tax reform. They explained that while ideas are still being discussed within each party, now is a critical time for ICSC members to talk to members of Congress about provisions that are central to the retail real estate industry, such as capital gains treatment, the ability to deduct the interest on commercial debt or the like-kind exchange rules. During the Q&A session, ICSC members expressed their concern about having a repeat of the 1986 Tax Reform Act that devastated the retail real estate industry. The congressmen encouraged ICSC members to meet with both their legislators and staff to share examples of how different components of the tax code are used in actual projects and how the elimination of certain incentives would have impacted those projects. Such efforts will make those tax provisions more tangible to legislative offices.
