Selling homes in Duluth is a different game than in the Twin Cities. If you're not from here, it can be hard to understand how this city works. There are many ways to sell real estate, but none of them work as well as Ben Funke's approach.

So how did this Duluth native, who has only been selling real estate for a few years, find that kind of success? By not acting like he's selling real estate in the Twin Cities. What does that mean?
