Who We Are

Randy was born and raised in the Wadena/ Verndale area of Minnesota. He learned his first steps of his building career from his father who owned a contracting business. He followed in his father’s footsteps and went on to build homes and businesses, which has become his lifelong career and passion for Randy. He later expanded his career to include Real Estate when he received his real estate and Brokers license in 2001.

Randy enjoys hunting, fishing, golfing, and working at promoting his ideas relating to his passions.

Berni Halaas and Randy Weiher opened New Century Real Estate’s office in Sauk Rapids in 2006 when they moved to central Minnesota.

Berni stepped into the Real Estate arena in 1987 when she began working in the mortgage industry. She was licensed as a REALTOR® in 1988 and worked in the Minnetonka and West Metro areas of Minneapolis.  Her passion for creativity and problem solving combined with the desire to create safe, warm, and inviting spaces led Berni to Century College where she completed the Interior Design program.  In addition, Berni also graduated with a BA in Business Management, and a minor in Economics and Psychology, from Augsburg College.

Berni’s experience in real estate, the construction industry, interior design, and mortgage fields, enable her to work effectively through any real estate issue and communicate with her clients so they fully understand all aspects of the home buying and home selling process.  Knowing staged homes sell faster than homes without furniture and décor, and wanting to provide additional value to her clients, Berni started Interiors by Berni, which is also located in Sauk Rapids.  Berni offers home staging services to clients and other realtors in the St Cloud area.  Clients can also take advantage of design and color consultations when building a new home or updating their current residential or commercial spaces.

Berni is active with the following organizations: 

Member, St Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce; Sauk Rapids Chamber, and Waite Park Chamber | Past Chair of the Sauk Rapids Chamber | Member, Central Minnesota Builders Association (CMBA) | Member, National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), Minnesota Association of REATLORS® (MAR), and St Cloud Area Association of REALTORS® (SCAAR) | Board Member,  SCAAR’s MLS Board | Member and Past Chair, SCAAR’s Education Committee | Founder, Past Chair and Member, Business Professionals Alliance (BPA) |  Previous community involvement:  Past Board Member, Forum of Executive Women (FEW) | Past Member, Benton County Economic Partnership Board (BEP)
