In 1982, PARK CO., REALTORS® joined Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Service which was later acquired by GMAC Home Services. As they grew, the company developed their own systems for real estate services and no longer needed to rely on support from a franchise. In June 2005, PARK CO., REALTORS® once again became an independent residential real estate company.

The Home Information Kiosk was staffed during mall hours and offered customers a convenient location to look at homes and discuss their real estate needs. In 2017, the Home Information Koisk was remodeled and renamed Park West Kiosk.
In 2005, PARK CO., REALTORS® expanded once again to add mortgage services. While they encourage buyers to find the lender that best fits their needs, Park Mortgage located at 4170 41st Ave Ste 102, Fargo offers clients the convenience of one-stop shopping from a company they know and trust.
In 2015, PARK CO., REALTORS® expanded again with the addition of Park Co. Commercial for commercial real estate needs, located at 4170 41st Ave Ste 102, Fargo.
Since 1991, PARK CO., REALTORS® has been the number one residential real estate company in Fargo, Moorhead, and surrounding area. In a market of more than 60 companies, PARK CO., REALTORS continues to work with more home buyers and sellers than any other company in the area.

Testimonials
"
Troy was amazing. He was knowledgeable and reassuring to first time home buyers.
"
- Jennifer Shearer

Park Company was appointed to us by our Mortgage company. Troy Peterson was appointed as our realtor. Troy went out of his way to show us properties and advise us on price ranges and availability. Troy was helpful, honest and patient throughout the process and always treated us with dignity and respect. We could not have been happier with the realtor choice even though it was made for us not by us.
As we all know, a company is only as good as it's front line people. Troy did an exceptional job of representing Park Company. We will certainly be returning to Troy for consult on any future real estate endeavors we may entertain. Please let Troy know how much we appreciated him through this process.

Troy was honest, patient, and knowledgeable when it came to house hunting. He was informative and answered all our questions in a timely manner. He was straightforward with the process and even helped us negotiate a lower asking price from the sellers- which is amazing knowing how wild the market is right now! I would highly recommend Troy to anyone looking to purchase a home, he’s an exceptional agent and an all around kind person. Thanks Park Realty and Troy for a great first time home buying experience!

Troy is the best realtor that we could have possibly asked for. He made the process as stress free as it can be and worked very hard to find us our dream home. He was extremely patient and was quick to answer any questions that we had as first time home buyers (of which there were many)! Troy helped us from the house searching to negotiating to closing process and We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide us through the process. He also helped us negotiate for a lower listing price during a very competitive market! We would recommend Troy to anyone who is looking to buy a home, he truly cares about his clients and will go the extra mile to do what’s best for them!

Troy was very helpful throughout the whole process of searching for our new home, and ultimately purchasing one. Troy made sure to always keep in contact with us on any updates and was great for answering any questions that came up throughout the whole process. He was available to meet with us at pretty much whatever time we needed in order to accommodate our work schedules and complete all the necessary paperwork for purchasing our new home. I would absolutely recommend Troy to any of my friends looking to buy a new home.

We will be hiring Troy again! He worked so hard for us with our home sale! I’ll be telling friends about him too if they are looking to buy or sell!
