Our Agents

Maria Roesch

Realtor

I’m an Eastern South Dakota native, born and raised as the fifth of eight children in a 3rd generation dairy farming family. From an early age, I learned the value of hard work, honesty, and caring for others—a way of life that continues to guide me today.

After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Northern State University, I found my passion in real estate and have been practicing full-time since 2004. I take pride in combining my strong work ethic with a dedication to helping clients achieve their real estate goals.

I’ve been married to my husband Eddy since 2002. We’re devoted dog lovers and enjoy spending as much time as possible on the water, whether it’s a lake, river, or ocean.

It’s been a privilege to help clients buy, sell, or build their starter, investment, recreational, and forever homes. I’d love the chance to exceed your expectations with your real estate needs.

She is client focused and results driven. Pat holds many designations including GRI, Certified Real Estate Negotiator, and Certified New Home Specialist. She has been a resident of the Fargo Moorhead area since 1992. When she is not working, she enjoys being active in her community, spending time with family, and enjoying the outdoors.

Shari Zimbelman

Realtor

I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes since 2006 because I believe there’s nothing more meaningful than finding a place to call “home.” My goal is to make your real estate experience simple, easy, and enjoyable by doing things right the first time, being honest, and providing clear communication. I personally manage every detail to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

I’m a Fargo native, graduated from NDSU with a degree in Business Administration, and now live in West Fargo with my husband Lee. I love Bison football, lake time with family, and gardening.

In my free time, I volunteer with the West Fargo Lions and the FMWF Chamber Leadership program to support local students, including building a food pantry at Horace High School. I’m also a longtime supporter of DECA and the United Way.

I’d love the opportunity to help with your real estate needs and make the process as smooth as possible!

Melissa Westby

Realtor

My name is Melissa Westby, and I’ve been a Real Estate Agent since 2015. Before real estate, I spent over 10 years as a Fargo Police Officer, including four as a School Resource Officer. I loved helping people in that role and now bring that same passion to real estate.

I’m a wife to a Radon Mitigation Specialist and mom to two girls, 12 and 14. Originally from Wisconsin, I studied Criminal Justice in Eau Claire and worked with troubled youth in Minneapolis before settling in Moorhead, where my family loves the Midwest lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, golfing, and watching my kids’ sports.

Good communication is my top priority. My experience taught me to handle challenging situations with confidence and clarity, and I stay in constant contact to ensure my clients feel informed and supported throughout the process.

I really enjoy meeting new clients, learning about their needs and wants, and helping them with this very important part of their lives. If you have any questions I would love a phone call and chance to be your Agent!

If you’re looking for a Realtor who is ambitious, friendly, and passionate about helping others, I’m Sarah Cotton. I live in Casselton, ND, with my husband Adam and our five children. When I’m not helping clients buy or sell their homes, I enjoy spending time outdoors, going to the lake, camping, bike rides with my family, and coaching my kids’ sports.

As a mom of five, I understand how important it is to find a home that fits your budget, family, and lifestyle. With experience at Coldwell Banker First Realty and working with a local home builder, I’ve guided buyers through everything from Purchase Agreements to Closing.
