About Ken Frank
Ken grew up on a dairy farm in Swanville, Minnesota, with 12 other siblings — 8 sisters and 4 brothers — and graduated from Swanville High School in 1964. He spent four years in the Air Force and served one year in Vietnam. At age 22, Ken diligently began to learn business and marketing strategies through continued schooling while employed by 3M Company (1968-1971).
Three years later, through a desire to own and operate his own business, Ken entered the real estate industry with All State- Properties; 2 years later, he was co-owner and operator of Four Star Properties, a Century 21 franchise. During the next 10 years, Ken continued to operate the franchise, teaching other real estate agents how to perfect their sales skills; list, price and market their properties; and figure out creative financing techniques. As an owner/broker, he also handled all marketing campaigns, in addition to coordinating customer financing and loan closings. With his wife Kathy, who passed away 11 years ago, and 5 of his 10 children, he formed the Ken Frank Team. Ken remarried 6 years ago to Cynthia Simmons, who has worked at 3M Co. for 28 years. Ken was one of the Top Listing and Selling agents[1] in his area for 30 of the last 40 years. Ken and his team have worked for Century 21, Coldwell Banker Burnet and presently, Keller Williams Premier Realty.
