Hello! I’m Jodell Teiken. I grew up on a family farm in Hallock, MN and moved to the FM area for college. My husband Brent and I met at Great Plains Software (now Microsoft) and raised our 3 children (Meg, Beth and Jack) along with our beloved black lab, Coal, in South Moorhead. We have a family lake home on Big Cormorant. Our first grandson, Hudson, was born in 2024.
After retiring from a 30-year career in education, I was looking for something to keep me engaged in the community, keep me learning, and help family and friends. I feel fortunate to be working with the team of experienced realtors at Beyond Realty. I continually learn about needs in our community by participating in the wide variety of volunteer opportunities our staff organizes. And the collective knowledge of the agents in our office expands my knowledge and supports my client’s needs.
Favorite Team: UND Football (our son Jack played for the Hawks/Sioux).
Hobbies/Interests: I spend much of my time helping family & friends. I love multitasking while listening to podcasts and audiobooks and find every chance I get to spend time outdoors.
Interesting facts about me: I sold books door to door in Florida one summer when I was in college and I have run 5 full marathons, including NYC.
Pet Peave: Slow drivers. I would never be late if I had my own lane.
Favorite charities: My favorite charities are Big Brother Big Sister and the Sanford Health Foundation. My little sister Amy and I were matched for 10 years, and my husband and I are passionate about the work Sanford does to support the health and wellness of people in our region.
Words I try to live by: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Or “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” 😁
