About Doreen Yaggie, Founder of Snowbird Guardian
From a young age, Doreen Yaggie demonstrated a strong entrepreneurial spirit, learning the values of independence, hard work, and perseverance. Her professional path began on Wall Street in New York City before she moved to Minnesota, where she raised her family and discovered her passion for real estate. Over the past two decades, Doreen has built a reputable career as a realtor, earning recognition for her integrity, attention to detail, and commitment to going above and beyond for her clients.
This dedication and understanding of homes naturally evolved into the creation of Snowbird Guardian.

Outside of work, Doreen enjoys quality time with her adult children and granddaughter, playing pickleball, cooking, exploring new restaurants, and enjoying the beauty of the Twin Cities.
Through her work, Doreen continues to enrich her clients’ lives, offering them the freedom to travel and the assurance that their homes are in trustworthy hands.
Supporting Seniors Transitioning to Assisted Living
Moving a loved one into assisted living can be an emotional and stressful experience for both seniors and their families—especially when family members live far away and cannot manage the home in person. Preparing a property for sale or long-term vacancy often takes weeks or months, leaving it vulnerable to break-ins, system failures, or weather-related damage.
Snowbird Guardian steps in quickly to provide reliable, professional oversight during this transition. We conduct regular interior and exterior home inspections to ensure the property remains secure, well-maintained, and protected. After each visit, you receive a detailed digital report complete with photos and notes, so you are always informed.
We manage the small details and immediately alert you to any concerns that require attention. In addition, we coordinate with contractors, realtors, and other service providers—helping manage any necessary projects and preparations. Our services provide peace of mind, allowing families to focus on what matters most during a challenging time.
