In the Duluth market, getting your home ready to sell can either be a massive win or a costly lesson. The difference is usually found in the structural integrity, the local building codes, and knowing exactly where to spend, and more importantly, where to save.


With decades of hands-on contracting and leasing experience in Northern Minnesota, Doug Berg, Owner of Former Glory Restoration, provides the insight home owners and investors need before they sign a closing statement.

Meet Doug Berg, Owner of FGR and Pre-Sale Consultant

THE EXPERT BEHIND THE STRATEGY

With over two decades of experience in the Northland, Doug brings a level of technical depth that most consultants can’t match. His career hasn't just been spent behind a desk; it’s been spent in the crawlspaces, utility rooms, and job sites of Duluth’s unique housing market.


Experience That Protects Your Investment


Doug’s background is built on three pillars of the real estate industry:


  • 20+ Years in Property Management & Maintenance: A master of home systems and durability. Doug spent two decades maintaining rental portfolios and repairing every functional aspect of Northland homes, from structural integrity to weather-proofing against Lake Superior winters.
  • 10 Years of Project Management: A specialist in full-scale transformations. He has spent a decade managing the complex logistics, timelines, and budgets of major residential remodels.
  • Contracting & Business Ownership: As the owner of a professional remodeling firm, Doug understands the true cost of labor and materials, ensuring your budget estimates are grounded in reality, not guesswork.

From Purchase to Profit

Doug offers a rare 360-degree perspective on property ownership. Whether you are a landlord looking to modernize a rental or an investor prepping a transformation for a top-dollar sale, he understands the entire lifecycle of a property.


When you consult with FGR, you aren't just getting a contractor, you’re getting a partner who knows how to take a property from the initial purchase to a successful closing.
