You never know what you will find in a vacant house.
This summer I have found a Meth poisoned house.  I have been 1/2 block away from a shooting that just occurred.  I have seen small animals closed up in a home.....
I have seen someone running out a back door as I opened the front..... BUT NEVER THIS!!!!
It was a nice warm evening as I set out to meet a client at a vacant house that is very close to a park.  This corner lot was a highly visible location and the home was a bit run down.  I … (31 comments)

realtor: New Construction nightmare!! Another company files Chapter 11 and leaves liens on properties! - 05/31/08 09:31 AM
Minnesota company files Chapter 11 this week leaving Milwaukee area families in tough situation.
Homes under construction and completed have gotten construction liens filed on their properties due to a Minnesota company's financial difficulty.
It was reported by the local paper that President Homes has not paid some subcontractors for work and items such as cabinets that were put in homes.  The homeowners have paid for these items, however the contractors weren't paid.  That means the contractor has the right to file a lien against the home.  In essence these liens must be paid off for the homeowners to have clear … (0 comments)

realtor: A Face from the Rain, thanks for making my Day Mike from Tucson! - 05/22/08 09:08 AM
Last week I received a phone call, noticed the number was from out of state.  I am working with quite a few buyers and sellers from out of the area so I wondered who was calling as I answered.

 Mike really made my day.  He had no idea that I had a very rough week and hearing from him for a few minutes really helped me!  … (6 comments)

Many "middle-America" cities are likely to see price gains in the 20 to 30 percent range over the next five years. (speaking of areas like Milwaukee, Kansas City and Cincinnati)  The average rate of appreciation in the Milwaukee area over the past 10 … (4 comments)

realtor: Meth Labs and Buying a Home! - 05/12/08 10:00 AM
 
After recently showing a REO, Foreclosure property and suspecting the home may have been used to cook Meth I found information on the internet to help future home buyers:
If you are planning to move into a new home, duplex or apartment, there are steps you can take to help ensure your family's safety.
 
 
 
Please note that I AM NOT AN EXPERT.  In stumbling across a home with a very offensive odor and becoming physically ill (along with my buyer), I decided to do some online checking.  This list came from several law enforcement agencies.  Please do … (10 comments)

Have you ever had a bad feeling before a showing - I mean a really bad feeling??  We all have an inner sense to keep us out of trouble.  Do we listen to it? I was praying this morning for safety as I drove to my showing appointment.
Before scheduling the appt to see this home I got a small history lesson from the listing agent.  Earlier this week we could not look at the home because it wasn't secure.  I mean there were squatters there.
Oh, I really don't want to walk into trouble......
The police were called to get … (18 comments)
