realtor: Snow and Holiday Cheer - 12/20/10 07:10 PM
With snow approaching Wisconsin again and Christmas just 4 days away, maybe it is time to slow down and enjoy life this week. Go sleding, make a snowperson, go to a movie, read a book by the fireplace. Call your friends, family, neighbors and some old clients of yours. It is always great to get re-connected with everyone. So slow down and enjoy the moment and guess what? You'll probably dig up some new business in the pocess as well. May the joy of the Holidays be with everyone, no matter what Holiday you and your family are celebrating.

realtor: 6 Truths about Selling in Today's Real Estate Market - 12/13/10 07:09 PM
Selling Wisconsin Real Estate is currently very difficult. Here are 6 truths about Selling Homes in Wisconsin's Real Estate Market. Truth #1: Buyers buy after "shopping around". In their search for the best buy they are comparing our property to the other homes currently on the market. Truth #2: Sellers control the pricing and saleability of their homes, but buyers control VALUE. A property is worth what the market (buyers) will pay. Truth #3: If a property sits on the market for more than a few weeks it gets shopped/worn (stale...like an old donut). Price it right … (2 comments)

realtor: Daily Forecast Update: Unemployment Insurance Claims, Producer Price Index - 02/22/10 07:20 AM
What worries me is that unemployment is not seeing any signs of decreasing currently and some inflationary worries are starting to creep into the system. Hopefully congress will wake up and start to stimulate jobs growth and keep inflation at bay. If congress doesn't get these two under control, we will see continued problems in the Real Estate industry.
