My wife, Shari, and I have lived in Hayward since 1980. We owned and operated funeral homes in Hayward and Spooner until 1997 when we had the opportunity to make a change in lifestyle. Woodland Developments & Realty was started in 1999 in our home on Grindstone Lake. In 2003, the need for an office in town prompted the development of the Woodland Court office complex on Railroad Street. Our personal service to families through the funeral homes and my community involvement laid the groundwork that has carried over into my current real estate career. I am blessed to have wonderful clients who I truly consider friends. My experiences as an owner of several different businesses, work in corporate development and acquisitions as well as real estate development and sales gives me added knowledge and expertise in business and commercial real estate. Whether you're looking to sell or buy, I will work hard to make it happen.

My name is Jim Dahlby and here's a bit of background on me. Originally from the Hudson, Wisconsin area, I moved to Hayward in 2000. Having vacationed in Hayward for many years, I thought that one day I would want to live here. After a couple years of hesitation, I made the move. Selling real estate full time in Hudson since 1984, I thought it would be a smooth transition. However, the two markets are completely different and I had to make some adjustments, you could say. Well, I caught on and have enjoyed it ever since. It's been the best move I ever made. Meeting my wife and enjoying all the Northwoods has to offer, I am truly blessed. My 26 years of experience as a full time real estate agent and and the fact that I live and work in this fantastic vacationland, enable me to provide you with excellent service. I look forward to talking with you about buying or selling real estate in Wisconsin's favorite vacation destination.

My love for XC skiing, biking, kayaking and fishing brought me to this wonderful area, “semi” retiring to our home on Spider Lake several years ago. My education in accounting at the U of M and MN School of Business led me to owning and managing commercial and residential income properties since the 70's. I was also co-owner of a house moving business in the Twin Cities, as well as a Business Broker with Admiral Realty and Lingate Financial Group for 10 years. That background provided me with a common sense approach to helping people purchase or sell their homes when acting as their Realtor with Century 21 Midwest and Counselor Realty in the Twin Cities before my move to Woodland Developments and Realty here in Hayward. I have a passion for helping fellow silent sports enthusiasts find their dream home in this beautiful Northland!

Amber Albrecht

Hello, my name is Amber Albrecht. While growing up in the Hayward area I fell in love with the beauty of the Northwoods. After graduating high school I moved to the Twin Cities and started taking classes at Northwestern College, but soon realized that back home and close to family was the place for me. I married Matt Albrecht, a local teacher, in the fall of 2006. Our family grew in October of 2010 when we had our first child, a son that we named Tyler Matthew. As the Office Manager here at Woodland, I am part of a team that aims to provide you with excellent customer service. I work with our agents to make sure that all properties are marketed effectively, using both local and online resources. I look forward to working with you, and hope to help make your partnership with Woodland Developments and Real Estate a successful one.
