Memorial Day in New Berlin, Wisconsin - Remember & Honor - 05/28/11 09:01 AM
 
 Monday, May 30, 2011 is Memorial Day.
      This is the only day of the year that we as a Nation have set aside to honor the men & women that gave their lives for our Freedom. We must never forget the ultimate sacrifice made by them throughout the history of our Nation. All to many of us have lost sight of the true meaning of this most important day. The men and women whose heroism we both celebrate and mourn must never be taken for granted. We must do everything we can to ensure that the generations that … (12 comments)

We love this business....we cry ...a lot.... - 05/28/11 07:28 AM
   We are fortunate in this business....active participation gives us life lessons every day....and we had just such a day yesterday. We had the honor of listing a home that was an estate owned by 3 siblings. Only one daughter lived in the area and was left with the care of the home she grew up in...snow removal, lawn care...utility bills.  Her home was on the other side of town and she meticulously and lovingly took care of the home that her parents had maintained for decades with great care from the lawn to making sure all plumbing and electrical was … (10 comments)

Here are some great tips from another Keller Family member....some you may know and others that are new. From techie "gas apps" to keeping your tires inflated...if you have forgotten the weight in the truck you added for traction in snowy north...lose it now and conserve energy.

Mother's Day...Another Opportunity to Pay It Forward - 05/06/11 06:59 AM
   Mother's Day, Birthday, Anniversaries ......we want to show our Mom's we remember them....and sometimes our Mom's are in the downsizing mode...one more something for the house, outfits the have enough of...gift certificate they may not use....does not really seem to answer your gift list need. Maybe your Mom is no longer with you....and it will be a day filled with the many memories she has left for you for a lifetime.          Our suggestion is ....instead of adding to an over stocked perfume collection, a wardrobe that has boxes unopened....a collection of her collection that no longer fits where it … (1 comments)

My Realtor Friend told me my House would Sell for...... - 05/06/11 06:24 AM
    "My realtor friend told me/us that my/our house would sell for $X!!"       This is always a tearful response when we have given a CMA that can be 30, 40 or 50% below the "friend's price."   Friends.....to our minds....the realtor is NOT your friend...they told you what you wanted to hear...not what you had to hear....not the real truth about what the market had to say about the price of your home.  We sure understand why "your friend" would have more credability than someone you just met.  The other side of that coin is....why would we tell you....working on commission … (4 comments)

CHASE RECOMMENDS CERTIFIED DISTRESSED PROPERTY EXPERT AGENT (CDPE) TO SELLERS - 05/03/11 04:13 AM
  Short sale has become a common term across the country.  What is important for every potential seller...every manager and every agent to know ...you need to have the proper training to carry out a short sale to a successful closing.

Pay it Forward....by Example - 05/02/11 07:40 AM
It warms my heart,to learn what leading by example can do to  make the world just a little better place. Sometimes, people just need to be shown how easy it is to reach out and touch the people who are most in need of our help. Sometimes, the people who offer help are those you would feel are the least in a position financially, but give because whatever their financial circumstances, they know someone has a worse lot in life...someone else is missing meals, denying themselves medical care and making decisions no one should be forced to make.    It is … (7 comments)
